black brit...ish - mc nelson lyrics

blacker than the kettle in the pot
black is the perpetual feeling of being watched
and i’m black british, that means that my upper lip is fat and stiff
that means i’m british with an asterix
that means i’m
black as the devil, pure as an angel
half of me’s petrol, half of me’s flames
as my ma used to say
black people look gold in the sunlight
when everyday is pouring with rain
it’s like a tug of war in my brain
and the ropes gonna break
everyday the clock ticks away
now it’s water to hate
stuck between a rock and a place that’s as hard as running this race
with a ball and a chain, being floggеd with a cane
in england where thе air’s too pure for a slave
the watchful gaze of racist statues follow you all over the place
i guess it
is what it is if you can call a spade a spade
but i’d prefer if you just called me by my name
and so i say
where would you be if mary seacole never healed you
yeah i see you in the field, position, you’re feeling feeble
please to meet you
i’m here to preview life
revive the light behind your deep blues
the blacker the berry, i’m sweet as treacle

but her bitterness is limitless
so to integrate into great britain is difficult
the past is a different country isn’t it?
with that backwards thinking then
i guess that you’re an immigrant

in great, in great britain
it’s hard to integrate into britain
in great, in great britain
it’s hard to integrate into britain
in great, in great britain
it’s hard to integrate into britain
