Verse 1 | |
I woke up this morning so I had to make a new track | |
This is the difference between true stories and true facts | |
This right here is what waking up feels like | |
This is the difference between real talk and real life | |
It’s a treacherous road so mind the GAP | |
because they try to blur the lines between lies and facts | |
They told you, it was finished, but that’s all a lie | |
’cos there’s children in them sweatshops some as young as four or five | |
check the tag on your trainers | |
they say It’s important the product get endorsed by somebody famous | |
So we think It looks cool, | |
while slaves are stichin’ footballs in Pakistan | |
I break it down in a way that other rappers can’t | |
It’s hard to stop sleeping and wake up, ’cos It’s to real | |
But if karma doesn’t get you first then the truth will | |
we livin in some wild days | |
according to Unicef there’s 246 million child slaves | |
So… | |
CHOURS | |
Wake up | |
Open your eyes and listen to this | |
cos little innocent kids are stitchin them kicks | |
Im ticked of, cos we live in this myth | |
the devils biggest trick was convincing the people he didnt exist | |
So.. | |
Wake Up | |
You think It ended but It never did | |
they put the chocolate in our mouth | |
the logos on our precisous kicks | |
the logos on our backs, the coffe we drink almost everything, | |
there’s more slaves on earth right now than there’s ever been | |
Verse 2 | |
You listen to the wrong rappers | |
Companies are using childslaves and blaming it all on their subcontractors | |
Don’t need to guess who’s sew those jeans, but who’s buying these clothes | |
who gives us coco beans from the ivory coast | |
the answers are hard, but you dont need to search the skies | |
they’re in Asian sweatshops makin Mickey Mouse merchendise | |
Nowdays there’s less to do with the color of your skin, fam | |
It’s more to do with the country that you’re in, fam | |
wont stop spittin til’ there’s a change | |
every purchase that we make, keep the children in chains | |
It’s so twisted and strange to me | |
some parents are so poor they sell their own kids into slavery | |
It’s an ugly state of affairs | |
slaves used to pick cotton but now they stich tics on the trainers we wear | |
when they tell you It’s finished, don’t let them | |
’cos It’s still here, even though It got abolished in 1807 | |
CHOURS | |
Verse 3 | |
This is for those who kept faith | |
and all the children around the globe gettin sold as sex slaves | |
Back in the day it was bad but this is the next phase | |
Nowdays everything’s in our hands fam, Let’s change | |
In these tragic times, we gotta analyze these rappers rhymes | |
fact is they blind, and they glamourize a pack of lies | |
The powers got us distracted but we got to fight | |
’cos these days It’s not as simple as being black or white | |
We need to fix our lives and get some unity | |
’cos ’til the feds get their weapons and executing me | |
putting me back to sleep is something you could never do to me | |
Yours truly, Lowkey the rapper slash Revoultionary | |
do your research if you dont believe It still exists | |
It’s just a matter of how long can we live with it | |
You could call me a hypocrite | |
’cos if you look at my shoe on my foot right now, you’d see a little tic on it |
