[Verse 1:]
|
In any society Police are very necessary,
|
But is it necessary to leave us in cemetery's,
|
Look at the victims dead and buried because there's very many,
|
What is the sentences there getting? Is there ever any?
|
What will take to get the public up in arms?
|
They flick out the truncheon and that's when the trouble starts,
|
3rd of Jan 09, Riot Masks come and charge,
|
Ambush kids and women in the Hyde Park underpass,
|
We come out to protest? Do you just come out to brawl?
|
And how could you justify the figures when you count them all?
|
Cowards and fools protect a system which is bound to fall,
|
Bountiful evidence, still no one held accountable,
|
Golden Eye know your rights cause it's real,
|
This is real life, they won't treat you like in The Bill,
|
This one's for every innocent that died in field,
|
Tell me who really gave them the License To Kill,
|
|
[Verse 2:]
|
First Menezes got killed, then Dick got promoted,
|
Then Hip Hop's lip's locked and did what they told it,
|
No one even said a bar,
|
A whole chain of command responsible and not one person was ever charged,
|
It's like we stood back, All closed our eyes,
|
I guess if you've got a badge the laws don't apply,
|
They tell us be patient, For justice we keep waiting,
|
Chris Alder died on the floor of a Police Station,
|
And not one person convicted in eleven years,
|
But it was very clear, the footage is everywhere,
|
We're not intimidated,
|
This is for families that lost loved ones and never saw the killers faces,
|
Golden Eye know your rights cause it's real,
|
This is real life, they won't treat you like in The Bill,
|
This one's for every innocent that died in field,
|
Tell me who really gave them the License To Kill,
|
|
[Verse 3:]
|
I can't understand coppers,
|
Who attack a man with his back to them, and his hands in his pockets,
|
You can't disregard the facts,
|
They rushed the post mortem, at first tried to claim it was a heart attack,
|
Not a protestor, just a working person leaving,
|
Second post mortem? cause of death, internal bleeding,
|
It was manslaughter captured camcorder,
|
Imagine that was your grandson or granddaughter,
|
NEVER think we've forgotten them,
|
ALL the brown and black victims treated just like Ian Tomlinson,
|
It's something that bothers me,
|
So stuff your apology,
|
Two things we want here, justice and equality,
|
Golden Eye know your rights cause it's real,
|
This is real life, they won't treat you like in The Bill,
|
This one's for every innocent that died in field,
|
Tell me who really gave them the License To Kill.
