Blood, Sweat and Tears Lyrics By Skepta
What did Bob Marley sing for?
What did Rosa Parks fight for?
If we're gonna kill each other anyway
If we're gonna kill each other anyway
You should be ashamed of yourself
'Cause if Martin Luther King saw
Vybz Kartel hit Ninja at Sting
He would've told Adams
To lock up the whole ting
'Cause if you wanna sing then sing
But if you wanna be some Rocky Balboa
Then put on your boxing gloves
And jump in the boxing ring
Exactly, that's what I thought
You're not a Mike Tyson
You're more like a Don King blud
We need to stop all the fighting
Stop the stabbing
Stop the shooting guns
Every day, mums are losing sons
Fourteen year old kids
Are bagging up Q's and crumbs
And I don't think Mr Wilberforce
Would've killed a north man
'Cause he was from east
Start looking at each other as brothers
Stick together, increase the peace
What did Bob Marley sing for?
What did Rosa Parks fight for?
If we're gonna kill each other anyway
If we're gonna kill each other anyway
Tell me, what did Haile Selassie preach for?
What did Malcolm X die for?
If we're gonna kill each other anyway
If we're gonna kill each other anyway
It's like these guys play too much Xbox
Shooting guys in the head-tops
You might think that I sound like a fed boss
But I'm sick of the gun talk, get lost
I'm not telling you how to live life though
Just put down your gun and your knife, bro
Taking a next man's life ain't blessed
And twenty-five years in the cells not live, fool
I know life's not easy
So why you making it harder?
Once you die, there ain't no after
Life's not an ITV drama
You might think that I sound like a preacher
Nah, shorty's more like a teacher
So rudeboy, put down your guns
And think with your brain and not with your heater
What did Bob Marley sing for?
What did Rosa Parks fight for?
If we're gonna kill each other anyway
If we're gonna kill each other anyway
Tell me, what did Haile Selassie preach for?
What did Malcolm X die for?
If we're gonna kill each other anyway
If we're gonna kill each other anyway
People must think it's funny
The youth of today
Handling firearms like it's nothing
Taking lives over drugs and money
Back when I was a kid
All I wanted was scale electrics
But all these millennium kids
Wanna take your life
'Cause you're from next bits
What happened to playing pogs
And marbles, and conkers?
There's a new game they play now
And it's called go bonkers
That's what the adults call it
But we ain't saying it right
'Cause the kids got a better name for it
And they call it life
What did Bob Marley sing for?
What did Rosa Parks fight for?
If we're gonna kill each other anyway
If we're gonna kill each other anyway
Tell me, what did Haile Selassie preach for?
What did Malcolm X die for?
If we're gonna kill each other anyway
If we're gonna kill each other anyway
