Free All My People

[Intro]
Fucking hell, mate
Same shit
Same blue lights
Same brick

[Verse 1]
Hoodie up, CCTV glare
Judge don’t see me, just “problem” there
Barrister talking, I stare at the floor
Man got a quota to fill, that’s all

Fuck your law, that law ain’t mine
Wrote in ink from a colonized time
They privatise cells, then moralise crime
Hand on the Bible while they lie in they mind

Blue suit, blank face, plastic smile
Call it “procedure”, I call it vile
Ask who profits when they lock my kin
Follow the money, see the real sin

[Chorus]
Fuck that court, that badge, that government line
No justice, no peace, we ain’t staying confined
From Gaza to Tehran, same tear in the sky
Free all my people till the day that we rise

Fuck them borders, that cage, that lie on the news
Every brother, every sister got the right to choose
From cells in the night to the streets where we cry
Free all my people till the day that we rise

[Verse 2]
She got bars and a scar on her wrist
Says, “I survived every cop on my list”
Told her “speak up”, they said “resist who?”
Same old script, just a different crew

Fuck ICE vans lurking late in the dark
Drag kids off, then they call it “smart”
Paper over pain with a policy note
While another brown body gets shoved on a boat

Robot smiles in a parliament seat
Talk big words while they starve our street
We got names on the wall, candles in rain
They got shares in the companies causing the pain

[Chorus]
Fuck that court, that badge, that government line
No justice, no peace, we ain’t staying confined
From Gaza to Tehran, same tear in the sky
Free all my people till the day that we rise

Fuck them borders, that cage, that lie on the news
Every brother, every sister got the right to choose
From cells in the night to the streets where we cry
Free all my people till the day that we rise

[Bridge]
Night bus home, same siren song
How many years we been told “stay strong”?
I don’t want hope that just keeps us asleep
I want gates kicked down, I want power in the street (hey!)

[Chorus]
Fuck that court, that badge, that government line
No justice, no peace, we ain’t staying confined
From Gaza to Tehran, same tear in the sky
Free all my people till the day that we rise

Fuck them borders, that cage, that lie on the news
Every brother, every sister got the right to choose
From cells in the night to the streets where we cry
Free all my people till the day that we rise
