Mr Whippy (feat. Eslam Jawaad)
Colours and shapes, shapes and colours
We've walked, seen wrongs with our own eyes and have not forgotten
We have followed Islam in these lands
As we still hear the call to prayer on Fridays
God has brought us together, and all praises due to Him
The situation has good too (not only bad)
See how the people are mixed
Arabs and Indians, blacks and whites
You wont believe how guns can go off though
Listen to the ambulance sirens
See how (DJ) U-Cef's neighbours were shot! They murdered children!
The police might knock on our door and search the house
Look around, there is both righteousness and sins
While some claim to be the chosen people of God
There is talk of freedom, terror and resistance
You might hear this at a mosque
But in the streets it's "what are you looking at?"
Money and cash, mugging, hashish
And the souls of people between your hands
The morsel of the kind ones, we miss it
That's how London is
That's how London is
We've walked, seen wrongs with our own eyes and have not forgotten
We have followed Islam in these lands
As we still hear the call to prayer on Fridays
God has brought us together, and all praises due to Him
The situation has good too (not only bad)
See how the people are mixed
Arabs and Indians, blacks and whites
You wont believe how guns can go off though
Listen to the ambulance sirens
See how (DJ) U-Cef's neighbours were shot! They murdered children!
The police might knock on our door and search the house
Look around, there is both righteousness and sins
While some claim to be the chosen people of God
There is talk of freedom, terror and resistance
You might hear this at a mosque
But in the streets it's "what are you looking at?"
Money and cash, mugging, hashish
And the souls of people between your hands
The morsel of the kind ones, we miss it
That's how London is
That's how London is
