For all the children
For all the children growing up 3rd 4th generation
Raised by mothers and fathers who worked so graciously for the system
everything was accepted
it was a given
Some still treated on the streets like their aliens
Mafee karo mafee karo mughei mafee karo mughei mafee karo /
I’m sorry i'm sorry i'm sorry
For all the children growing up foster home care home broken homes
Raised by mothers and fathers who could not even care for their selves
Drugs replace Huggs
Money becomes God
This leads to some bad situation
Mafee karo mafee karo mughei mafee karo mughei mafee karo /
I’m sorry i'm sorry i'm sorry
Brothers told me long time ago Babar you got to do what you told
Sisters told me long time ago Babar you got to do what you told
sometimes the only time we get respect is when we scream and shout let em know
sometimes the only time we get love is when we scream and shout let it go
For all the children growing up foster home care home broken homes
raised by mothers and fathers who could not even care for their selves
Mafee karo mafee karo mughei mafee karo mughei mafee karo /
I’m sorry i'm sorry i'm sorry im sorry im sorry im sorry im sorry im sorry
so lonely so lonely so lonely so lonely so lonely so lonely

One world
I can’t change my skin or where I'm from
We can keep on battling for many generations
We are headstrong and we are stubborn yes
And we care for these streets here where we grow up yes
Everybody talking about their way their way
then they talking about their time their time
Then they claiming their faith their race is better then your or mine
Then there running out to the left to the left
then they running to the right to the right
Then they claiming there so perfect
and they know what the time is
One world one world one world we can make it better
One world One world One world we can make it better
we can make it better we can make it better
I was raised on these streets 4th 5th generation
Wanted to be this man first
wanted to be that man first
I'm a dreamer yeh and a world citizen
And I love these streets yeh here we grew up strong
everybody talking about their way their way
Then they talking about their time their time
Then they claiming their God my God
is better then yours or mine
Then they running to the left to the left
Then they hiding behind the right behind the right
then they claiming they so perfect
and the sun shines from their behind
One world one world one world we can make it better
One world One world One world we can make it better
we can make it better we can make it better

Pass It On

Pass it on
People got money debt
Money deaths
Like in the timelines
What's the by line
Hypocrisy sexuality virtuously incessantly
Like Business breaks balls promises
Like i am writing from the out back
From the Dreamtime
What's popular is disgusting me
I am disgusted by my self and those around
From those drinking cheapshots
Prevalent in all communities
To those hi brow i spit venom
Put me dicks inside their mouth give them cummwine
I the animal distinguished
The cunninlinguist
Whilst they inspire to work abroad
In higher-rised offices
They succumb to my
Dirty wanting to be working class
Come down
I wear the grin
I wear the frown
You know what
If it was not for God's Love
I am broke But unbroken
I am broke But unbroken
Pass it on
Holding on too long
i wanna show you how it feel
pass it on
holding on too long
I wanna show you how it feel
how it feel
Whilst i tear open flesh
With my gentle hands
outboxed out clapped in towns
where there were no referees
These unfair Judgements
Make a Canning Town boy sharpen sticks
Who'd fight against a man
Standing naked outside their door
with the only weapon his bare hands
Booked to play those far away places
Where prejudiced wildlife still maintains a hold
No food No free drinks n feedback yeh
When the soundman comes
He brings feedback
Like we need that
For those who know and show
One tries hardest to not show discontent
So the chi
The artistry
Is pure touch
Bright lights
Replace dissatisfaction
Then we switch on
Been secure for so long
What we got we made it
Who so ever come wont break it
Now don't smash my things
Unless you are willing to reimburse
In this dream
I was eating The heart and grey matter in a frying pan
In this dream
I was questioning God's will
I was questioning God's will
In this dream
I awoke to know what i know now
God can see into the heart of any soul
God can see into the heart of an arsehole
And if it was not for God's love
I am broke but unbroken
I am broke but unbroken
Pass it on
Holding on too long
i wanna show you how it feels
pass it on
holding on too long
I wanna show you how it feel
how it feel

Respect Mother Earth

Respect Mother Earth
So divided we stand
Man women child
Always debating debating
Meetings about meetings
While those in power
Plunder Mother Earth
For their short term profit
Given up on the next generation
Oh there is a fever
No one want to find a cure
Flames get higher
No one want to putt it out
Everybody throw stones
But we are living in glass houses
And you know the answer up to you and i
Cant we save mother earth
cant we respect mother earth
Can we respect mother earth?
You know they tell us
"You're just a dreamer"
keep on dreaming
cant we respect mother earth
Cant we respect mother earth
when will we respect mother earth?
While those in power
Did we not choose them?
Do we get the leader
That we deserve ?
while we argue amongst ourselves
They plunder mother earth
For their short term profit
They given up on the next generation
Oh there is a fever
Flames get higher
you know there is a fire
No one want to putt it out
Everybody throw stones
while we living in glass houses
And you know the answer up to you and i
Cant save mother earth?
cant we respect mother earth?
Can we respect mother earth?
You know they tell us
"Youre just a dreamer"
keep on dreaming
Cant we respect mother earth ?
Cant we respect mother earth?
Cant we respect mother earth?

Slaves Be Free

Run around jump around
You cant escape yourself
Please her Please him

In the end you live alone die alone
Make your heaven make you hell
One day

All the slaves be free
One day
One day
All the slaves be free
Now now calm down calm down
Why you getting so upset
System let you she let you down
Let yourself down Boy
The whole world is a circus
Don't you be the clown
Maybe
In the end you live alone die alone
Make your heaven make your hell
One day
One day
All the slaves be free
One day
One day
All the slaves be free

White Skin Against Mine
My girlfriend she said "You smell like a Indian Takeaway"
Yai khai bhoal ree hai
mera dill mera dill
aapko khoi haathoan mai hai
(translation- why you say this my heart is in your hands)
I said "Do sometimes but i love you and your white skin against mine -
I love your white skin against mine"
My girlfriend she said "Why you treat me like a sexual object?"
I said "Do sometimes I'm a man trying to change my ways"
My girlfriend she said "My family don’t want you round to our place'
I said "Don’t worry babe don’t want to go to bed with your father anyway"
My girlfriend she said "I love you till the end of time"
I said " i bet you say to all the boys that you meet yeah "
she said "Yes i do yeah But with you i mean what say"
i said "You’re so fine i love you and your white skin against mine "
white skin against mine
My girlfriend she said "Why do people stare when we walk down the street?"
I said "Don’t worry babe they just jealous coz you so beautiful"
My girlfriend she said "I’ve read that God loves those who love"
I said "I said believe you’re right in Gods eyes we got nothing to hide "
I said "I believe your right Gods eyes we got nothing to hide"
I said "your so fine i love you and your white skin against mine"
white skin against mine
My girlfriend she said "Babar yeah will this world ever change?
I said:
"We shall overcome
We shall overcome
In times of hatred of darkness

-----------musical break------------
I said "Will with time

I love your white skin against mine
So i love with you it hurts my soul
We’ll keep the fascists from our doors
I love you for evermore
I love your white skin against mine
white skin against mine
