[00:28.270]Daddy’s out chasing the women breeding the village breaking all kinda records to place the blame on the Guinness
[00:33.947]When my mother asked it was never up for discussion
[00:36.704]Some lessons learnt have different meanings for others
[00:39.462]Black history month where they taught me that I was nothing
[00:42.010]In the school of hard knocks where I had to fight for my cousin
[00:45.273]Roll up your sleeves
[00:46.172]Work twice as hard just to please
[00:47.673]Don’t beg nobody fi eat
[00:49.233]And never chat to police
[00:50.487]And on Black Boy lane

[01:43.997]But the road weren’t paved with gold
[01:45.489]It was paved with go home
[01:46.994]Imagine being a doctor and they’ve doctored your role
[01:49.536]You’ve got the qualification they ain’t offering though
[01:52.628]You came here to seek employment
[01:53.765]Didn’t come here to clean the toilets

[02:02.232]That’s cause you keep touching all the family
[02:03.792]That’s under your spell
[02:05.047]Everyone just turns a blind eye when they know you need help
[02:07.816]That’s Black and British when you come from a suffering world
[02:10.821]Stop saying that’s how he is
[02:12.584]If that’s the case he shouldn’t be sharing beds with the kids
[02:14.920]You put our feels to the side
[02:16.929]Bills to the side

[02:29.593]Got a jester for a king and you still a queen
[02:32.352]Lying when they ask why I’m crying
[02:34.109]I kept it in
[02:34.802]Now I’m grown it’s game of thrones if I catch him it’s guillotine (I swear)
[02:38.955][Verse 2: Simz]
[02:39.706]I swear I’d never make my mother cry
[02:41.720]She taught me how to make a bed out of a bunch of lies
[02:44.517]And how a man’s supposed to wear his tie
[02:46.715]I was 12 when the world let you down a dozen times
[02:49.725]When you say black and British what is it that comes to mind
[02:52.491]How do you progress in life when you’re stuck behind
[02:55.263]I had a attitude with my teachers at school
[02:57.525]But soon as I got home I knew that tone could never fly
[03:01.045]Raising a teenage girl no help no channel of support
[03:04.526]No fairy no tales
[03:06.294]Barely could afford
[03:07.797]No wishing no wells
[03:08.800]No hands was avail
[03:10.306]With the hands’ we were dealt
[03:11.819][Chorus]
