Lyrics to Black British
Listen up my people
Hold your head up high
And put your banners up into the sky
'Cause we have got a declaration
Ready for a conversation
Maybe it's our time
It has been a mission for us
We have been so polarised (Been so polarised)
Fighting for the liberation
Just so we can live our lives (We can live our lives)
Clock is ticking round and round
And were accustomed to the fight (Accustomed to the fight)
Navigating through the beautiful and terrifying life of
Black British (Black British, Black British)
Sing it or for the culture
Yes, I'm saying Black British (Black British, Black British)
Sing for the struggle
Yes, I'm saying Black British (Black British, Black British)
Singing for the innovators
Saying Black British (Black British, Black British)
Talkin' 'bout Black British
Talkin' 'bout Black British
We don't wanna compromise
Or have to limit any part of who we wanna be
Or feel we have to step on every egg shell
Just to be part of society
There's something in the water changing
We can feel it in the air (Feel it in the air)
It don't matter who you are
It's changing and we don't care (And we don't care)
Evolution is inevitable time for us to grow (Time for us to grow)
There are no more excuses in saying that you didn't know
Black British
(Black British, Black British)
Sing it or for the culture
Yes, I'm saying Black British (Black British, Black British)
Sing for the struggle
Yes, I'm saying Black British (Black British, Black British)
Singing for the innovators
Saying Black British (Black British, Black British)
Talkin' 'bout Black British
Talkin' 'bout Black British (Black British)
Wait, flip it, it's the times of the nation
I've been waiting here, black power station
Every single day I'm down for persuasion
It's a human mathematical equation
Every moment we are craving stimulation
Gonna break it down, elimination
I'll be living a life of liberation
Split it like atom, I'm black and your caucasian
Juggling like a ball, it's a little like a dribble
Every moment forward, I do a wiggle
Meta information, neurological precision
Take it in and be a doctor of decision
It's truth, the lie, the day, the night
The brainwash fodder that blows you up inside
Hey, put your banners up and read
Your James Baldwin Malcom was a winner
And Martin Luther told em
Malcom was a winner
And Martin Luther told em
Put your banners up and read
Your James Baldwin
It has been a mission for us
We have been so polarised (Been so polarised)
Fighting for the liberation
Just so we can live our lives (We can live our lives)
Clock is ticking round and round
And were accustomed to the fight (Accustomed to the fight)
Navigating through the beautiful and terrifying life of
Black British (Black British, Black British)
Sing it or for the culture
Yes, I'm saying Black British (Black British, Black British)
Sing for the struggle
Yes, I'm saying Black British (Black British, Black British)
Singing for the innovators
Saying Black British (Black British, Black British)
Talkin' 'bout Black British
Hold your head up high
And put your banners up into the sky
'Cause we have got a declaration

We have been so polarised (Been so polarised)
Fighting for the liberation
Just so we can live our lives (We can live our lives)
