Terrorist? (Pt. 2)
(专辑: Soundtrack To The Struggle - 2011)
[Chorus: Mai Khalil] They calling me a
terrorist, we know who the
terror is Tell them that I'm not (guilty) They calling me a
terrorist, it is time to settle this Tell them that I'm not (guilty) I'm all about love and peace, why you wanna trouble me? Tell them that I'm not (guilty) My intentions are clear to see [Verse 1: Crazy Haze] First of all, allow my client Kareem Dennis Simplify his messages and dissect the
evidence That placed him on the
terror list, spread the
lies of television My client is standing accused of encouraging terrorism He's promoting peace, far from violent encouragement I
believe it's unjust that this court has summoned him How can one man rapping, lead to terrorist actions? This misunderstanding merits a
retraction Accused of calling for attacks on military facilities You can't equate violence with criticism politically Where's the
freedom of speech? He's just another young musician who is seeking a
dream My client is accused of inciting racial tension He's half-Arab, half-English, did I
fail to mention? The
media rendered his reputation ruined Think about how many youngsters he has influenced To quit a
life of crime and do the
opposite Most of the
man's tracks are completely devoid of politics The
evidence is unseen, the
verdict is a
done deed How can you compare a
song to invading a
country? My client isn't hungry for the
blood of the
people Since when has making a
rap song ever been illegal Or murderous? The
only thing that drives this person is love I
rest my case to the
jury and the
merciful judge [Chorus: Mai Khalil] They calling me a
terrorist, we know who the
terror is Tell them that I'm not (guilty) They calling me a
terrorist, it is time to settle this Tell them that I'm not (guilty) I'm all about love and peace, why you wanna trouble me? Tell them that I'm not (guilty) My intentions are clear to see [Verse 2: Crazy Haze & Lowkey] Sir, can you confirm you're the
artist that's known as Lowkey? I
can Are you aware the
state has been building this case since 03? I
am You claim that you're all about love and you promote peace I'm here to prove that your hot speeches lead to cold deeds Your lyrics are a
virus infecting all the
youths You say whatever it takes to get a
mention on the
news You're an insult to the
people and offend the
soldiers too Objection, your Honour Objection overruled Do you denounce the
monarchy and hope for a
republic? Monarchy is inequality, systemic injustice While you strangle Afghanistan and tangle with Taliban Our taxes have to pay for David Cameron's cameraman How can you compare spreading anarchy to spreading democracy? Like you compare resistance to extension of colonies Did you really refer to the
U.S. as an abomination? No, I
posed a
question in reference to its domination I
scrutinise governments, you scrutinise songs Did you compare predator drones to suicide bombs? Yes and I
question where such brutalised youth would rise from It's true, I
choose to right wrongs but you can write wrongs But what if your questions equate to the
spreading of hate? Is it true you labeled Israel a
terrorist state? Yes, cause it's based on the
threat to erase an indigenous population you could never replace [Chorus: Mai Khalil] They calling me a
terrorist, we know who the
terror is Tell them that I'm not (guilty) They calling me a
terrorist, it is time to settle this Tell them that I'm not (guilty) I'm all about love and peace, why you wanna trouble me? Tell them that I'm not (guilty) My intentions are clear to see [Verse 3: Lowkey] Please allow me to state the
most relevant of facts I'm charged with section 1
of 06's Terrorism Act It is alleged the
music I'm publishing for exhibition All amounts to the
encouragement of terrorism My face was placed up on the
news as a
wanted person Cause it caused controversy when they saw my songs emerging If I
was commercial would I
have to ride all these hurdles? Raided my home, take my phone, put some spies in my circle? Not on it, no comment, I
will never change my position Not in jail, but they gave me these stale bail conditions And this is the
part where the
plot just gets sinister They banned from the
City of London and Westminster I
do this for the
rebels that do this without the
medals For Smiley Culture, Jody McIntyre and Alfie Meadows Before you throw it at me, have a
look at your backwards book Definition of terrorism, Columbus and Captain Cook I
can't lie, it's getting deep, our lives are very cheap And one person dies in police custody every week They're editing my tracks cause I'm telling them the
facts You're more likely to die like that than from a
terrorist attack When you try to fight a
war, they will say you defy the
law Can't quiet me, this is R.I.P. for Brian Haw We know the
truth, no matter what you tell 'em on the
television IMF, World Bank, economic terrorism I
refuse to produce chart nonsense Not a
servant to the
Zionist lobby like Mark Thompson The
BBC want me making music to impress crooks Or doing shows on military bases like Tim Westwood Murdoch might have the
news, but me, I
have the
tunes Your cameras move onto celebrities to distract the
youth Remember this fact is true When you point your finger at me there is three fingers pointing back at you
