[Verse 1]

After what happened on 9/11

Saddam was a threat they had to find his weapons

Then an inspector said that he never had any

A couple of months later that man's buried

Its damn scary 'cus he exposed their ruthless lies

Then apparently committed suicided

But its obvious that he didn't choose to die

The truth is he was brutally crucified

Just imagine if they invaded Great Britain

Face it that war was based on racism

I love Michael but deep down he's a child

For years they said he was a pedophile

But when it went to court he beat the trial

The reason is money buys freedom so he's allowed

Don't believe the hype or let 'em cease your mind

People please read in between the lines


[Hook]

Read between the lines...

Life is just a pantomime


[Verse 2]

Yo I might get misquoted in an interview

And people might say somthing about me that isn't true

Or say that I did something I didn't do

'Cus I say I'm Arab some people disapprove

Straight up its made, blood, the fakeness annoys me

Like a club night that doesn't pay its employees

I don't go there with my friends to party

'Cus thats about as hip hop as Gwen Stefani

Years back 50 was real, his shit was raw

Now the same man call him a snitch and fraud

Joss Stone didn't sell when she hit the stores

But that changed when she won two Brit Awards

A certain MC set up a clique but found bredda's

Worse than him just so he could sound better

Don't believe the hype or let 'em cease your mind

People please read in between the lines


[Hook]


[Verse 3]

Yo, yo, hip hop used to be done on the streets

Now every mug and their mum wants a piece

Suburban parents hated this music their kids love

Now even Britney Spears tries to spit, bruv

They copy whats hot, they're too dumb to innovate

Christina Aguilera, Justin Timberlake

And garage was around in the ends for ages

Then they called it grime and Westwood played it

Then you got American rappers like Mobb Deep

Who spit about murdering people on hot beats

In life they get robbed on street and squash beefs

When you look at the affect they have its off key

Bush rigged the first election even let us find out

Then you wonder why he won again the second time round

Don't believe the hype or let 'em cease your mind

People please read in between the lines


[Hook]


[Outro]

Yeah yeah, you know in these days and times

Weve got to train our minds to read inbetween the lines

Weve got to figure out who's who

Weve got to see the people for who they are
