LYRICS [Verse 1: Wretch] In all honestly all we’ve got is love We can only pay you in visits Family orientated I’ll never stray from my siblings Heard some war stories when uncle came from the prison He was good at making money but bad at making decisions Mummy’s got her hand in the pardner to make a shilling She’ll have to put an arm and a leg in to make a difference Daddy’s out chasing the women breeding the village breaking all kinda records to place the blame on the Guinness When my mother asked it was never up for discussion Some lessons learnt have different meanings for others Black history month where they taught me that I was nothing In the school of hard knocks where I had to fight for my cousin Roll up your sleeves Work twice as hard just to please Don’t beg nobody fi eat And never chat to police And on Black Boy lane I was caught on my own He Told me go back to my country I Thought I was home Guess I was wrong [Chorus] Really I just wanna spread love Know it’s been a minute still think about us Always on a wave cause it gets me through Really I’m just tryna stay up (yeah) Really i just wanna spread love Know it’s been a minute still think about us Always on a wave cause it gets me through When all is said and done Don’t want the baddest bitches I just really wanna move my address init Want my 40 acres with my palace init They don’t care about you when you black & British Course I got a knife you don’t cut me no slack Wanna touch the dreads you don’t know me like that Now you colour blind you don’t notice I’m black So we stay trapping cause my homie mind trapped [Verse 2: Wretch] Granny came here to build a future based on pure hope But the road weren’t paved with gold It was paved with go home Imagine being a doctor and they’ve doctored your role You’ve got the qualification they ain’t offering though You came here to seek employment Didn’t come here to clean the toilets Money haffi mek now we’re running were seeing boydem My cousin as well even my auntie’s on bail Fuck you my uncle from hell That’s cause you keep touching all the family That’s under your spell Everyone just turns a blind eye when they know you need help That’s Black and British when you come from a suffering world Stop saying that’s how he is If that’s the case he shouldn’t be sharing beds with the kids You put our feels to the side Bills to the side Out of sight out of mind Is my dad still alive? Step dad arrives Devil in disguise Tina Wanna ask your partner how it feels to be Ike? You put on a brave face It’s the bravest I’ve ever seen Got a jester for a king and you still a queen Lying when they ask why I’m crying I kept it in Now I’m grown it’s game of thrones if I catch him it’s guillotine (I swear) [Verse 2: Simz] I swear I’d never make my mother cry She taught me how to make a bed out of a bunch of lies And how a man’s supposed to wear his tie I was 12 when the world let you down a dozen times When you say black and British what is it that comes to mind How do you progress in life when you’re stuck behind I had a attitude with my teachers at school But soon as I got home I knew that tone could never fly Raising a teenage girl no help no channel of support No fairy no tales Barely could afford No wishing no wells No hands was avail With the hands’ we were dealt [Chorus] Really I just wanna spread love Know it’s been a minute still think about us Always on a wave cause it gets me through Really I’m just tryna stay up (yeah) Really i just wanna spread love Know it’s been a minute still think about us Always on a wave cause it gets me through When all is said and done Dont want the baddest bitches I just really wanna move my address init Want my 40 acres with my palace init They don’t care about you when your black and British Course I got a knife you don’t cut me no slack Wanna touch the dreads you don’t know me like that Now you colour blind you don’t notice I’m Black So we stay trapping cause my homie mind trapped
