You said that you love me through all of my flaws and i'm the cure and the cause,
And i'm the reason you grew up to fight the system & war,
You loved me when I was there, but love me more now i'm gone,
And often you shed a tear, but there's no point crying its fine,
Imma start by saying how much im proud, of how much you've grown and how much you sold, i'm losing count of how much you won't fold under pressure , you hold it down with the family on your shoulders you carry the name around,
But your walking with strength,
I came here with your grandad we were fortunate then, cause it was roundabout the time when all the poor people fled,
Heard that england was the promise land, with pounds instead of dollars so we windrush to the promise in the hope of finding solace,
Build a family was the project, and buy a mortgage with the money, so as soon as we die you can argue with your brothers about inheritance and numbers, like this is why we suffered, Problem with your generation, is you benefited from the renovation you just moved in like you had reservations in a basin where i used to wash stood on a stone,
Western union where i had to go when calling home,
You got it all all at your fingertips,if you had it hard and you really had to graft would i see 1 of one of your fingerprints.
We had to walk so you could run , so i don't want to hear bout you're fighting for any slums There's a war going on outside, and it's my grandsons,
They frighten the neighbors with all their handguns,
The government send the police in to kill the badman, its funny cause they fighting for places they both abandoned,
My son went to jail, then his son went to jail, is there love in the trail are they all of the rails
So they buy and they sell, out of love with themselves say the family is fake but the diamonds are real,
All I see is bad bitches chatting gyal business and some gang business funny we nah even have business
All i hear is rap n** take a man's figures and his trap business, funny thats some real trap business,
I speak from a position of love cause everyone wants to judge, and everyones as sensitive as it comes, but when it's all said and done what we done was enough,
I hope you all can say the same to your sons, granny."
