[Intro: Malcolm X]

We declare our right on this earth

To be a man, to be a human being

To be respected as a human being

To be given the rights of a human being

In this society, on this earth, in this day

Which we intend to bring into existence

By any means necessary

[Verse 1: Life]

Where's the justice? Stephen Lawrence was killed

Cold bloody murder, a racist attack by five guys who hated blacks

They blatantly proved that, caught live on camera in a flat

Simulating violent attacks with sharp knives and bats

Calling blacks niggers and goons, lynching be their rocketry

While boasting by street fights and other kinds of thuggery

Obviously, the police they never done their job properly

But most of them are racists and hatred is their philosophy

Treating us like aliens trespassing on their property

The way they treated Stephen Lawrence' case was a mockery

Daylight robbery, they stole a life and got away with it

Smiles on their faces, but them racists gonna pay for it

If only me and Stephen could have swapped

If it was me at the bus stop

I would have bossed up every one of them white blood clots

It's a fact, most time I pack an axe inside my rucksack

And once I start swinging black, no way they could adopt that

Five heads in the duffel back, my axe back in my rucksack

But if I would've done that, they would've said I was on crack

Brought hanging back and fright my black cast like a big mac

But it's a fact, the lords will relax when the victims they be black

What a tragedy: they killed Stephen and broke up his family

Stabbed him severally, the black community reacted angrily

When the five boys walked scot-free from the enquiry

Smiles on their faces, concordly grinning, got away with killing

One of their fathers been a known villain serving time in prison

For fire-arms, shock offences, and ism-schism

This evil man also stood trial for a murder case

And was also charged for shooting a girl, point blank in her face

A rich man who usually seemed to get the charges dropped

Whether its bribing the victims or giving backhanders to the cops

[Interlude: Martin Luther King]

Man is so caught up in this evil system of racial injustice

[Verse 2: Life]

A dodgy situation: the police station

Brought to life by Stephen's family

Led to an internal investigation

Officers were suspended, handed in resignations

When questioned on the matter, they showed no cooperation

The home office had no choice, pressured by the people's voices

To intervene and find out just what these five boys did

And why Stephen's family made a private prosecution

I'm still disillusioned, by the lack of law enforcement contribution

This black prosecution, ignorance and racism

Why Stephen was killed by five men, they never went to prison

This kind of thing, it does no good for race relations

And further marks the reputation of Great British police stations

Most of the force are caucasian, only in a few situations

In police stations have I seen a couple token blacks and Asians

I'm losing my patience with this downpression stereotypical accusations

A blatant racial discrimination please, fabrication, provocation

And character assassination, unprovoked attacks on young blacks

In police stations, the black population is seen as a second-class nation

To me, this is a break down of integration communication

Fixation on the sensation, I'm feeling this situation

The situation I'm talking about is one of rich intimidation

Degradation, sufferation, freebasing freemasons

Who try to tighten the laws and lock the doors on immigration

They like to see an African and Jamaican migration

Strong believers of repatriation and a strictly white nation

In America they didn't do a thing about the beating of Rodney King

That's why the LAPD are the cause of all the deaths and the rioting

They incited that and decided to blame it on the blacks

But in the light of the King case, how they ask us to react?

Finding the offenders not guilty means they ignored the facts

The more it gave the LAPD a license to beat upon the blacks

This racism, blood clot ism-schism

But this rude man is gonna fight down the system

[Bridge: Life]

Them should've never killed Stephen, no, them dodgy little event

Yo yo, they should have never killed Stephen

One day we're the racist, we're all gonna get even, yeah

Them should've never killed Stephen, no no, them dodgy little event

Now what we say: one day we're the racist

Till them say that we have to get even, yo yo

Lord have mercy, now what we tell: them racists can't curse me

Until we say...

[Outro: Life]

Yeah man, rest in peace Stephen Lawrence

Until the majority stop harming we

There should never be racial harmony, only sufferation

Free education to teach the youths about integration

Jobs and equal rights for Asians, blacks and whites

Until this day there should always be bloodshed and fights

In the memory of Stephen Lawrence

And the strength of his family to fight back against the system

Peace! The L-I-F-E bringing you wisdom
