letra de made in britain - bashy

[intro: grandma]
my grandchildren and my great grandchildren
i wish them the best of health and whatsoever they would like in life
i hope they succeed in whatsoever they want to be
they would like to do
i only pray that they live long and to enjoy the life
in every way

[verse]
granny came on a boat, granny
came on her own, granny came
out to england cos she thought
the pavements were gold, granny
said she was cold, granny never
seen snow, no dogs, no irish, no you
already know, did factory work put
b-ttons on clothes, she was young
she was bold, sacrificed so we could
have a life, help the family evolve
now this is where we call home, this
is all we know, gotta make her proud
can’t let her down, grandad passed
but the man worked hard, worked
for ford, built the cars
saved up, bought some yards
gotta build on that past, that’s the
pedigree, can’t f-ck that up, that’s
the legacy, what you telling me, man
was made in britain, man was raised
in britain but i feel like the enemy
feels like it’s 1970, searching for
moments of levity, so i’m in the rover
swerving playing junior murvin on
a lee scratch perry beat, may their
souls rest in peace, police and thieves
in the street, so we clash, now i see
why clash sang the melody
dance, shake up on the melody
in the club pouring hennessey on the
ground for the ones that are buried
deep, why would i ever leave
i’ve been paying tax since 17
let me be
move ya. back to africa!
pull it up selecta! pull it up selecta!
oi north west 10, bumbaclart
hmm, look, i take flights
from gatwick
i take flights from heathrow
anywhere that we go
attitude steve biko, could be on 5th
ave, could be on pico
could be in cape town or back in
london, got lumumba’s ethos
we will go to the darkest you
encroach on our darkness
fight evil with evil
i think like darcus, i mean howe
shouts to beese though, yo, f-ck
going dubai and spending pees bro
go africa, spend with my people, go
yard and spend with my people, still
g though, drive two mercs off the
floor, me and kano at the dealership
all black all facts didn’t leak that
sh-t, i wish grandad could have seen
that sh-t, oi big man ting that’s a
big man ting, deep melanin, never
bleach man’s skin, windrush ship
now see man win, put some respect
on these grandkids, yeah

future, mi nuh know w’at ‘appen to
dem yout ya login pon computer til

wise up youts, i!
one time for the ones that made it
across the atlantic
ayo
pour liquor down for the ones
drowned in passage
two times for the ones that had to
firm them lashes
respect to the ones that survived
that time, you’re magic
yeah, survival in our dna, give a
f-ck about an vma stolen goods
up in the v&a
piece of cake, pay us what you owe
us, auf wiedersehen, reparations
centuries of pain, cos we were born
free but freedom ain’t
