Livicated to the one Ahmed Mohamed

lyrics

Verse 1.
Ahmed was a little boy,
and him never did a thing wrong.
14 years of love and joy,
Oh so young.

An engineer in the making,
Tried to share his creation.
Him never know them would scare and suppress his imagination.

How was he to foresee,
He would be presumed guilty?
Every man has a burden to bear, but
I declare this here burden fe share.

Cause it's just not fair,
And neither was his skin,
That's why them handcuff and arrest him.
Cause this here clock been ticking, tocking,
For a long time for the Muslims.

CHORUS:
Check the headlines
Sign of the times
Seem like your blind
Desensitised

War them devise
Love them divide
Telling lie after lie
Committing crime after crime.

Verse 2.
You say you're tired of this, you're tired of that.
Still you read your daily newspaper like a Bible that.
Your TV set record pon timer that.
Them steal we history, sell it out and still you buy it back, yo.

Just like a pill prescription.
It seem them have a cure for every little affliction, yeah.
Lethal elixir addiction.
Better check the fine print, them no fit the description, no.

But them say that's just politics,
"So it go, just eat it up and swallow it!"
No bother question them real priorities,
Cause their mission is the statement that them hate minorities.

So better memorise the truth.
Check the evidence, them could never hide the proof.
Them terrorise the youth.
That's why they try to hold me back whenever I go through.

CHORUS:
Check the headlines
Sign of the times
Seem like your blind
Desensitised

War them devise
Love them divide
Telling lie after lie
Committing crime after crime.
