[00:00.004]Intro: Sampha
[00:00.803]Da, du-du-du-du

[00:12.785]
[00:18.033]Chorus: Sampha & Ghetts
[00:18.830]Check the foundations, structural imbalance
[00:23.493]Falling double standards, I fell on my face
[00:28.411]Hands in the rubble, people walking over me
[00:33.378]I was one of them and kept walking away
[00:37.865]I kept walking away (Away)
[00:40.314]Away (Away)
[00:43.246]Away
[00:46.361]I kept walking away (Away)
[00:50.852]Away (Away)

[00:57.569]I kept walking away (Uh)
[00:58.382]
[00:59.111]Verse 1: Ghetts
[00:59.337]Look around the world, all I see is double standards
[01:01.994]Our mum naming her son Muhammed is a madness
[01:04.408]Jack's in the airport with drugs in his baggage
[01:06.891]And security are troublin' Muhammed 'bout a sandwich
[01:09.504]I was on the phone with a pal of mine, they ask me why they helping Ukrainе and not Palestine
[01:14.217]And I repliеd brown skin, we were so whitewashed
[01:16.951]Laughin' at names we had problems pronouncin'
[01:19.161]Kwame said his name was Jerome, and he's from the Caribbean just so people would leave him alone
[01:23.998]And I remember it was fufu and voodoo jokes until he found the same thing that gave Zulu's hope
[01:28.864]Sarah's dad hates blacks, but her baby's mixed race, and all he's thinkin' is, "She may have been raped"
[01:33.912]Imagine bein' light skin, your grandad's racist, and every time you're there, you hear an African statement
[01:38.948]Look around the world, all I see is double standards
[01:41.738]Even mark Zuckerburg covers up cameras
[01:43.789]Steve Jobs never let his kids use an iPad, and my kids think that I'm bad, mad
[01:48.663]Nie had no TV until she was grown up, I used to think, "What the ****?" when she told us
[01:53.806]The government have got us in a chokehold
[01:56.087]A hero if I kill for my country, and a villain if I kill for my postcode
[01:58.912]Only fightin' for my freedom if it comes to it
[02:01.402]You got to use your brain before you put a gun to his
[02:03.966]Had to lose my way before I understood the trip
[02:06.573]The good die young, the cemetery's full of, "Should've beens"
[02:08.784]These days, I'm doin' more and sayin' less
[02:11.165]What's war? War's rich white men playin' chess
[02:13.568]What for? Well, it's all about the land they finesse
[02:15.933]God made man and man made a mess (Yes)
[02:18.099]
[02:18.466]Chorus: Sampha
[02:18.952]Check the foundations, structural imbalance
[02:22.122]Falling double standards, I fell on my face
[02:26.673]Hands in the rubble, people walking over me
[02:32.008]I was one of them and kept walking away
[02:36.595]I kept walking away (Away)
[02:40.479]Away (Away)
[02:43.385]Away
[02:46.851]I kept walking away (Away)
[02:49.172]Away (Away)
[02:51.498]Away
[02:55.811]I kept walking away
[02:57.622]
[02:58.311]Verse 2: Ghetts
[02:58.938]They're givin' man life sentences for drugs when a paedophile would probably get less than twenty months
[03:03.126]In the same court, same day, same judge
[03:05.413]We only break the law because the law tries to break us
[03:08.336]So, how am I meant to be corrected when they put my name and address in the papers?
[03:13.028]But a child molester's identity is protected, is anyone addressing these failures?
[03:18.132]I just spoke to my mum, oh, man
[03:20.002]She said, "Police just killed another unarmed man"
[03:22.728]Everyone complains, but nobody wan' go back home, it come like we don't love our land
[03:27.260]Everyone's in Ghana in December, come back home and start complainin' 'bout the weather
[03:32.771]Raheem who's got a hundred goals, but when they miss a penalty, it's monkey jokes (Woah)
[03:37.627]And they got everybody clappin' for the NHS, but they don't wan' put no cash in the NHS
[03:44.659]Soon, it's gonna be, "What happened to the NHS?"
[03:47.379]Politicians gettin' paid more than teachers
[03:50.016]Stana gettin' praise more than Jesus
[03:52.798]Most bad b*****s ain't artists, but they still paid for the features
[03:57.679]It's the realest comin' through the speakers
[04:00.327]Yeezys the only reason we wore Addidas
[04:02.534]And I don't wear Balenciaga anymore, and now I've said it, Fashion Week probably won't have me seated
[04:07.565]Deep it, here's a likkle insight
[04:09.790]Peep it, there goes my invite
[04:12.691]I preed it, no one's speakin', that's why I'm an outsider on the inside
[04:17.560]I got beef with the HMRC, the tax man jacks man, take all my P
[04:22.175]I'm lookin' at my total, blud, can't you see?
[04:24.655]Everytime I pay tax, it's hard to breathe
[04:27.281]I don't know if I'm paro', man, but I can talk about killings and drug dealings
[04:32.230]But, "Black Rose" is my only tune that's shadowbanned
[04:34.489]
[04:36.393]Outro
[04:36.593]The thing is, they got us mixed up, son
[04:38.690]They want us to be the slaves in the field
[04:41.581]All we keep doin' is lookin' to the big house
[04:43.677]That's not our aim, that's not our purpose
[04:46.079]Let's own field, turn our directions, turn around
[04:48.534]Let's look from their view
[04:52.204]They see the land, they see the world
[04:54.453]All we kept, they kept us with the view lookin' at the big house
[04:57.846]The house that Master on, we got the wrong world view
