Blood, Sweat and Tears - Skepta

What did Bob Marley sing for

What did Rosa Parks fight for

If we gonna kill each other anyway

If we gonna kill each other anyway

Cause if Martin Luther King saw Vybz Kartel hit Ninja at Sting he would’ve told

Adams to lock up the whole ting

Cause if you wanna sing then sing

But if you wanna be some Rocky Balboa then put on your boxing gloves and jump

in the boxing ring

Exactly, that’s what I thought

You’re not a Mike Tyson, you’re more like a Don King blud

We need to stop all the fighting, stop the stabbing

Stop the shooting guns

Everyday mums are losing sons

14 year old kids are bagging up q’s and crumbs

And I don’t think Mr Wilberforce would’ve killed a north man cause he was from

east

Start looking at each other as brothers

Stick together, increase the peace

What did Bob Marley sing for

What did Rosa Parks fight for

If we gonna kill each other anyway

If we gonna kill each other anyway

Tell me what did Haile Selassie preach for

What did Malcolm X die for

If we gonna kill each other anyway

If we gonna kill each other anyway

It’s like these guys play too much xbox

Shooting guys in the headtops

Think that I sound like a fed boss

But I’m sick of the gun talk, get lost

I’m not telling you how to live life though

Just put down your gun and your knife bro

Taking a next man’s life ain’t blessed and 25 years in the cells not live fool

I know life’s not easy, so why you making it harder

Once you die there ain’t no after

Lifes not a ITV drama

You might think I sound like a preacher

Na Shorty’s more like a teacher

So rudeboy put down your guns and think with your brain and not with your heater

What did Bob Marley sing for

What did Rosa Parks fight for

If we gonna kill each other anyway

If we gonna kill each other anyway

People must think it’s funny

Tell me what did Haile Selassie preach for

What did Malcolm X die for

If we gonna kill each other anyway

If we gonna kill each other anyway

The youth of today handling firearms like it’s nothing

Taking life’s over drugs and money

Back when I was a kid all I wanted was scale electrics

But all these millenium kids wanna take your life cause you’re from next bits

What happened to playing pogs and marbels and conkers

There’s a new game they play now and it’s called go bonkers

That’s what the adults call it, but we ain’t saying it right

Cause the kids got a better name for it and they call it life

What did Bob Marley sing for

What did Rosa Parks fight for

If we gonna kill each other anyway

If we gonna kill each other anyway

People must think it’s funny

Tell me what did Haile Selassie preach for

What did Malcolm X die for

If we gonna kill each other anyway

If we gonna kill each other anyway
