They say God save the queen, Britannia rules the waves, Britannia's in my genes But Britannia called us slaves Britannia made the borders Cause Britannia's forces came Britannia lit the match But Britannia fears the flame Where blood stains the pavement Tears stain a cheek And privilege is threatened, the fear reigns supreme Where bankers are earning, from burning and looting
The nervous are shooting, search for solutions I shed a tear for the father in Birmingham Quick swerve of the car and it murdered them In Tottenham the apartments were burning and nobody came just arson is circling All wanna be down till tv's get robbed like jewels on the queens crown They say now no cause for a rebound See now they call me a fool cause i speak out People are humans not mindless animals
This violent tyrannical system is fallable Hand in the loot by the minute you see 'em But the biggest looters are the British museum This happened here and you think its a accident Just relax as we slip into fascism And the fear gets drilled into your hearts but remember these children are all ours
[Chorus] Whoa, give me the words, give me the words That tell me nothing Dear England, Whoa, give me the words, give me the words That tell me nothing
If a policeman can kill a black man where he found him A soldier can kill an Afghan in the mountains A petty thief can get ransacked from his housing While the bankers are lounging That's my surroundings Took land, no one in your family has heard of Before you sleep, whisper the mantra you learnt cause Never will there be a day that cameras are turned off Who runs this country, Cameron or Murdoch Who's the government, a government that can't govern Cant you figure its ways bigger than Mark Duggan
Bigger than Smiley, bigger than Jean Charles
Hundreds are dead not 1 killer is on trial
Just a familiar sound of hysteria
Bombs over Libya but not this area
Downing Street I can find villains
Cut education, privatise prisons
Surprised by theft when it's organised,
But mass immorality is normalised
Assumptions surrounding the looting of London
But this is a system consumed by consumption
Yea it happened here and you think its a accident
Just relax as we slip into fascism
And the fear gets drilled into your hearts
But remember these children are all ours
[Chorus]

I think Lowkey is that kind of man I would like to talk for hours on different subjects.
+asraaaaar07arabic exactly!
+asraaaaar07arabic more than you think are like him.
"don't relegate me below or elevate me above"
Exactly what I was thinking!
Already have on several occasions , He's a great man
true
"If a policeman can kill a black man where he found him" - Lowkey 2011. Still relevant today in 2020.
Sadly his lyrics will stay relevant until maybe when humans go extinct.
yup! unfortunately so bruh
sad that it is so😔
Isn't it disgusting that its still so relevant today. We haven't moved on from where we were 10 years ago
How is it relevant?
Police kill every colour.
Anyone reading this, no matter your race or colour you are all my brothers and sisters and I love you all
and we are all under the rule of a few in distant places
He isn't going against english people, he is half English, he's going against the "democracy" that provides us. I am white British, yet I agree finely in what he is saying here, look in what is going on, he is merely voicing what others fail to notice in our failed society. Muslim, African, Caucasian, whatever, if we live here we deserve what we are promised. On another note, I love England, born and bred, but I can't honestly think (anymore) of anything that makes us great to be fair. Lowkey is a political and lexical genius.
respect man
finally someone educated
Vaerith95 Damn hard words you guys sounds like its time to take your country back the not so easy way
Lowkey is a communist. He hates this country to the core and overlooks its many achievements.
Everyone should stick to there own country , your birthplace is down to where your parents originated from
@@winstonchurchill5731 Really? Tell that to your ancestors...
Bro is so underrated.
"Relax as we slip into fascism"
They say God save the queen, Britannia rules the waves
Britannia's in my genes, but Britannia called us slaves
Britannia made the borders, cause Britannia's forces came
Britannia lit the match, but Britannia fears the flame
These lines are so amazing
There is no limit to the volume that this should be played
''Britannia lit the match,
But Britannia fears the flame''. ouccchhh
it's so true tho😕
Couldn't agree more!!!
I stopped writing comments like this, I just copy and paste the entire lyrics... because every bar is like 'damn....'
Yeah that bar got me too
Yeah it hit me too but unfortunately it's not really true in the real sense.
in these days people would point a finger at Iraq as a recent example. But in 2003 over 90% of the British public didn't want us to go to war with Iraq. The elite lit the match anyway, and it was the public who never wanted it that fears the flame, would be the better way to put it.
Of course it goes back further but the reality is it's the global elite and they will always do their thing regardless of which bit of land their arses are plonked on.
we never bow to the queen.
All power to the people!
Everyone loves Lowkey but I think too many people overlook Mai Khalil. She's amazing
When the two of them make a song together it usually winds up being one of my favourites.
low-key you're of the greatest you speak to the issues others avoid thanks for the education. the more I listen you I realize how little I know.
THANKS.
This needs so much more recognition 💯 This woman tho 😍 what a collaboration
Love her.
Her voice is amazing.
Too much truth to handle, that's Lowkey always going real.
Kakarot sound my brother I found you on a song that ain't K-Rino haha
p0rt3r1000 :)
Big respect Kakarot you definitely know who's real!
Mai Khalil Voice really soothed out, it give deep impression to think.
the coldest and most slept on rapper today!! Lowkey come back the world needs you man!!!
No other MC can level with what lowkey does with words.
Toheed ali Akala more than matches him BOTH levels above
Jay 6a SuLz both have different flows
Tee Miah tech9ne?
I agree. Master! In terms of effectiveness, I can only think of GZA. But, Lowkey rhymes a lot more in his songs than him.
I like Akala, too, but why do you have to say someone's skill is equal to that of another? They are very different artists in terms of style and sentence structure. Akala's flow is more complex and sporadic, with his verses not being as concise as Lowkey's. That's not a criticism. He has his own style; his own lane. Why do you have to put someone up against him? They are both great at what they do. Lowkey's a lot more concise with his lines, and his flow is consistent; he sticks to the basics. Every line has been composed in a way where it couldn't be worded any other way. On top of that, he packs rhyming into each line (not just at the end of the line). So, in terms of that, I've seen K-Rino word and format his verses in a similar way. But, they're still all different. How could any of them match the others when they're all different? No one can do what someone does better than that person; they're all unique. I don't get why we have to compare or, just because someone voices their opinion, you have to disagree.
mai khalils voice is so emotive....can move you to tears
I come from a British and Turkish family, I live in England and I'm 16 years old. People like Lowkey make me see, notice and realise what goes on around me, he makes me proud to be part middle-eastern. I GOT MY THIRD EYE OPENED WIDE!
Mai khalil's voice is something else. Her voice pulls tears out.
FREE PALESTINE 🇵🇸
What a gem of a person this guy is.
It's been 7 years and I still jam on a regular basis.. Lowkey= Legendary
Wow. You will be remembered for a long time Lowkey I can promise you that.
Bro calm down he's not dead
man from tupac to immortal technique to beast 1333 to lowkey
2018. Just as relevant. Lowkey I'd follow both you and Akala into a revolution.
One love brother.
Listened to this growing up as a child- now I’m doing my own work.
I'd love to just get stoned and talk with this guy, he is one of few people today that are intelligent.
quadsbrah 123 you feel you have to be stoned in order to take in intelligent words? I feel bad your brain has been so poisoned by society you rely and things that alter how you perceive. That's how rights get stolen.
Glad you SPOKE UP for the voiceLESS LOWKEY... Your lyrics rang out like a SHOT heard around the World... I believe in the Truth no matter who is speaking it .. we MISS you LOWKEY ... your words will continue awakening the public.. much love and respect
still listening 5 years later...
+Gmanshuckamuck time is irreverent with this shit. its classic.
+Alexander Rivera wouldn't call it classic....not knocking it by any means i fucking love low-key but classic? no. fucking amazing and arguably timeless for those who enjoy it sure.....timing does matter i know plenty of songs that were once popular and now are dead....not that low-key was ever mainstream
2020
2021
2042
Had to time travel to listen to this.
There is no UA-cam in the future
Still apparent 2019 :( who else still here ?
2020
Lowkey is a living legend.
lowkey come back the game needs you
Lowkeys flow and subject he talking about combined with her incredible voice and hook make this a Picasso worthy masterpiece!
This is making so happy,, 42 years old and this is The Time when i need thruth knowledge and history the most from others,, i let go and the off Button, get that feeling of " in arms" ..
Man your music is still so relevant💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾 thank you for your courage my brother🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I love the way it's bouncing off that James bond vibe. I can't stand James bond and all the crappy one liners but beyond the words so many here need to hear even more so to this day. That 007 vibe musically is like a massive punch in the face to what it tries to normalise
This guys flow is 🥶
1 OF DA BIGGEST TRACKS 2 EVERR 2 COME OUT OF DA UK!!!! BIG UP LOWKEY!!
Dear England, Mexico And the WORLD.
STAND UP.
Truth Union real #thisistherevolution
Luv this song but the intro is so damn long. But it is still really good to listen too.
The intro is brilliant and adds so much to the track in my opinion. Builds the tension to hear what he has to say.
Casey Jones Think about it though, who told you that? the government? who want you to believe that shit?, personally i dont trust a word they say all false lies..
2020 anyone #Lowkey
Took land that no one in your family has heard of, and unfortunately to this day that crime hasn't been rectified. Lowkey will go down in history as the poetic warrior. Love you forever 💓
Yes this is what we need in uk
I also love akala
M9
Logik
Phonix the ice fire
And from usa
Daylyt
Rapping with substance
Lowkey is a real one... not many people are like him anymore. He is one of a kind❤🙏🏼
the bird that's featured in this album Mai, don't get enough respect. she's pretty amazing.
Every empire shall end, mightier nations have fallen. Its a matter of God's Will, time and effort from those who are opposed and willing to fall doing what is right.
Forever relevant.
One of his best tracks! x
sick track lowkey, every track you make is a masterpiece brother, glad your making music again
Because Lowkey is possibly one of the greatest mc's to ever live.
Goosebumps every damn time.. that beat and flow is harddddd 🥰
This is perfect soundtrack to what is happening now on political scene! Salut Lowkey
here in 2020
Still love this tune after 10yrs bless you ☺️
500k should be 500m but the industry don't want the real.
I love it when lowkey's flow switches up. So skilled and powerful.
Speak for justice!
this man is an inspiration, big ups lowkey.
Dear England
Lowkey is a living legend. I've made sure that all of my friends know who he is.And most of the love his music. Just proves how much musical talent he has.
This song by itself can show the depth of ability Lowkey brings when he puts pen to pad for a song. How can anyone argue that he isn't the best in his profession.. By a country mile. I would love to see Lowkey battle Eminem and anyone else for to claim the title "Best in the game"
Same for real
Thanks for people like Lowkey. They are reason why we have more time to fix this crazy world...
One day he'll return, one day. :(
news is that he's back
I heard :)
MAI KHALIL N LOW KEY PERFECT PAIR MUSICANS EVERY SONG A HIT.
CHICAGO,IL
All wanna be down 'til TVs get robbed like jewels on the queen's crown.
Forever one of my favs by Lowkey!
"Just relax as we slip into fascism" Lowkey envisioning England in 2020
I pray Lowkey's new album S2TS will make it top of the charts...I h8 it wen people say them chav groups like N-Dubz r the best rappers in the U.K wen clearly lowkey is...Got nufff Love & support 2 my brother!
Thank you for putting my thoughts into words, this is much easier to explain how I feel to my mum. She agrees and loves your music!
she no more
Love this track.
when lowkeys flow switches half way... WOW!
Amazing music! Very few musicians in the world today willing to rap about the truth. We should all be lucky people like Lowkey are still around. Respect from Canada!
Is youtube altering the viewing figures on Lowkey's videos? It wouldn't suprise me given his message of peace and love
one of the best songs i've heard in a while. fucking love the contrast of flow between him and the girl
one of Lowkeys best track, like lyrics, sound of the song along with Mia voice overall WOW spechless!!!! Keep up the good wrkd brother, were all human and we should stand by one another as a big family. Peace and Love to all my brothers and sisters out there that stand for the truth. Colour is only skin deep!!!!
@gofaqyosef Lowkey is a great rapper, he picks great beats, great hooks, great contents and knows how to write rhymes with more than one syllable. His delivery is top notch and so is his flow.
If this is not the definition of a great rapper please tell me what a great rapper is.
Lowkey is dopeness, he is clever and doesn't talk without knowing facts. This song is so dope, switching flows and shit..
bloody love ur beats lowkey
Dope track!
Absolutely love lowkeys music! The lyrics are unreal.. no one else can produce real music like this 🔥
its simple, people often forget. There are good people and bad people every where... judging people individually is the key to peace and tolerance
Great song.
comeback LOWKEY
He has
WHAT
He's back
How a collaboration should be done!
This is so emotional God Bless Lowkey & Mai Khalil......
National anthem 22 anyone ?
Who runs this country, Cameron or Murdoch?
Murdoch
And the Bankers, then the corporations and then the politicians
Murdoch, he runs australia too and tries to run America through Fox and its 80 year old viewers.
the Rothschild
RorzzHD lord jacob rothchild
Yes Lowkey. You did it Again! Goosbumps. More should be educated by you
Karim the UN can form a covenant with me for the sons to sit by my side!!!! The smooth and comfortable life🎉🎉🎉🎉
just relax as we slip into facism
Lowkey is the UK's Chuck D.
He's awesome.
Nice comparison
I LOVE this . This is definitely one of my favorites from lowkey. Lyrics are amazing .
Love it! They are both so damn impressive every time! A amazing singer and the realest rapper in England(?) sharing truth with the masses! Beautiful!
Listening to this after the looting of miniapolis caused by the murder of George Floyd.
Wake up
Amazing, this is one of my favourite tracks on the album!
More relevant to right now in time than it was when it dropped. That's some forward planning.
2019 anyone?
Lowkey is top notch but i think the message is more important than the skillz
This track is Beautiful! Realness in its purest form.
his whole album is awesome!!!!
shame most of these bars still hold 10 years after the song. R.I.P George Floyd
"It's way bigger than Mark Duggan, bigger than Smiley bigger than Jean Charles" the problem is systemic unfortunately
the only real rapper from England
You not heard of Akala bro were you been hibernating llf 🔥🔥
akala
+03supto Tabanacle
+Josh Hearn
As well as Akala, there's also LOGIC, Shadia Mansour, and more....
Josh Hearn Akala, Mic Righteous & Lowkey. Just to name my favourite 3. There is also Black the ripper, Logic and more.
Masterpiece..
Class, Truth and power of the voiceless. Hes the man and he deserves all the success he is getting from the album. Keep it up bro you got the support and followers behind your back. All day Everyday. BIG UP LOWKEY.
