Council Estate

Memories being broke as a joke
Atrocities lack of pee can provoke
Enemies they hide in the smoke
Friend of these be riding with the po-po
Tendencies they show when they're waved
Can't believe what I know, no way
Hennessy got them acting strange
Selling me out
Yelling out sho sho

Council estate
Council estate
Throw us away like they cancelled a state
Council estate
Council estate
Increasing wheelbase the council's on skates
Council estate
Council estate
Decreasing rebate encapsule our space
Council estate
Council estate
Believe we'll see them better days

Council estate
Council estate
Throw us away like they cancelled a state
Council estate
Council estate
Increasing wheelbase the council's on skates
Council estate
Council estate
Decreasing rebate encapsule our space
Council estate
Council estate
Believe we'll see them better days

Got us living where it's not safe
For our children to go out and play
Partition us away like we're plagued
Presumptions get made about our race

Treated like we have leprosy
Pretend to smile, the hypocrisy
All the while they're here for greed
Turn to Jesus in our time of need
Turn to Jesus in our time of need
God will help us if we shout and plead
Lord just hear us and help us please
We've been knocked right down to our knees
Stay strong as rock right now, an army
Of young and old to fight for our freedom
Unsung heroes go you might free them
Snakes in the grass I see them

Memories being broke as a joke
Atrocities lack of pee can provoke
Enemies they hide in the smoke
Friend of these be riding with the po-po
Tendencies they show when they're waved
Can't believe what I know, no way
Hennessy got them acting strange
Selling me out
Yelling out sho sho

Council estate
Council estate
Throw us away like they cancelled a state
Council estate
Council estate
Increasing wheelbase the council's on skates
Council estate
Council estate
Decreasing rebate encapsule our space
Council estate
Council estate
Believe we'll see them better days
Believe we'll see them better days
Believe we'll see them better days

Council estate
Council estate
Throw us away like they cancelled a state
Council estate
Council estate
Increasing wheelbase the council's on skates
Council estate
Council estate
Decreasing rebate encapsule our space
Council estate
Council estate
Believe we'll see them better days

Got us living where it's not safe
Partition us away like we're plagued
Presumptions get made about our race

Treated like we have leprosy
Pretend to smile, the hypocrisy
All the while they're here for greed
Turn to Jesus in our time of need
Turn to Jesus in our time of need
God will help us if we shout and plead
Lord just hear us and help us please
We've been knocked right down to our knees
Stay strong as rock right now, an army
Of young and old to fight for our freedom
Unsung heroes go you might free them
Snakes in the grass I see them
Snakes in the grass I see them
Snakes in the grass I see them

Memories being broke as a joke
Atrocities lack of pee can provoke
Enemies they hide in the smoke
Friend of these be riding with the po-po
Tendencies they show when they're waved
Can't believe what I know, no way
Hennessy got them acting strange
Selling me out
Yelling out sho sho

Council estate
Council estate
Throw us away like they cancelled a state
Council estate
Council estate
Increasing wheelbase the council's on skates
Council estate
Council estate
Decreasing rebate encapsule our space
Council estate
Council estate
Believe we'll see them better days
