Lowkey - Dear England Lyrics






[Chorus:]
Whoa, give me the words, give me the words
That tell me nothing
Dear England,
Whoa, give me the words, give me the words
That tell me nothing

[Verse 1:]
They say God save the queen,
Britannia rules the waves,
Britannia's in my genes
But Britannia called us slaves
Britannia made the borders
Cause Britannia's forces came
Britannia lit the match
But Britannia fears the flame
Where blood stains the pavement
Tears stain a cheek
And privilege is threatened, the fear reigns supreme
Where bankers are earning, from burning and looting
The nervous are shooting, search for solutions
I shed a tear for the father in Birmingham
Quick swerve of the car and it murdered them
In Tottenham the apartments were burning
And nobody came just arson is circling
All wanna be down
Till TV's get robbed like jewels on the queens crown
They say now no cause for a rebound
See now they call me a fool cause I speak out
People are humans but mind is animals
This violent tyrannical system is fallable
Hand in the loot by the minute you see 'em
But the biggest looters are the British museum
This happened here and you think it's a accident
Just relax as we slip into fascism
And the fear gets drilled into your hearts
But remember these children are all ours

[Chorus:]
Whoa, give me the words, give me the words
That tell me nothing
Dear England,
Whoa, give me the words, give me the words
That tell me nothing

[Verse 2:]
If a policeman can kill a black man where he found him
A soldier can kill an Afghan in the mountains
A petty thief can get ransacked from his housing
While the bankers are lounging
That's my surroundings
Took land, no one in your family has heard of
Before you sleep, whisper the mantra you learnt cause
Never will there be a day that cameras are turned off
Who runs this country, Cameron or Murdoch
Who's the government, a government that can't govern
Can't you figure it's ways bigger than Mark Duggan
Bigger than Smiley, bigger than Jean Charles
Hundreds are dead not one killer is on trial
Just a familiar sound of hysteria
Bombs over Libya but not this area
Downing Street I can find villains
Cut education, privatize prisons
Surprised by theft when it's organized,
But mass immorality is normalized
Assumptions surrounding the looting of London
But this is a system consumed by consumption
Yea it happened here and you think it's a accident
Just relax as we slip into fascism
And the fear gets drilled into your hearts
But remember these children are all ours

[Chorus: x2]
Whoa, give me the words, give me the words
That tell me nothing
Dear England,
Whoa, give me the words, give me the words
That tell me nothing

    One love from the un United States of Amerihate. Same shit over here brother. The only real minorities now are those of us waking up. The rest are all fighting over what their told to fight over while the elite Globalist microwave earth. Slaughter. Genocide. Then they call us a threat for speaking out. Many have come forth knowing death would be their fate for taking action. This isnt a pop scene or some trend we wanna set. We simply decided to go back into history for ourselves and dot so much our forerunners put together for us. It is written in Revelations.
    The children of God shall rise Against the Beast.

    T.... A....

    Women and men of color shall rise against the Beast (aka you, white boy)

  40. R.... P....

    Question :- Why haven't we stormed parliament yet ?

  41. P.... g....

    Ooo 9990L

  42. A.... R....

    Is Lowkey talking about different apartments burning or is this some serious clairvoyance about grenfell???
    Just relax as we slip into fascism.....

  43. H.... ....

    Still relevant today...

  44. M.... R....

    Lowkey loves Mesopotamia but that region was constructed by empires, and if you think they lived in roses and rainbows then you're mistaken. Even the Egyptians conquered people and looted, all the images of the Pharaoh have him smiting black people or asiatic neighbours. But other than that, it's cool.

  45. S.... C....

    Words are weapons, but we're getting tired of asking.. At some point all that's left is to fight back & take our freedoms back..

  46. R.... ....

    Amazing how relevant this song still is especially with what happened during the #GrenfellTowerFire long live those who were murdered their energy/soul still lives justice will prevail ✊🏿

  47. T.... ....

    Cultural Marxism.

  48. w.... t....

    one of the realest artists alive stay blessed brother

  49. S.... M....

    This is what I told my child when I took her to British Museum, that this is a place of theft. Everything you see in here exhibited is stolen.

    S.... M....

    Well you told them a lie. The British Museum has alot of stuff from around the world, famous for it's Egyptian stuff, some was looted but masses were not. Islamic leaders of the east did not care for their countries history - see ISIS and their destruction of historical pieces, it's idolatry to glamorize these things. Mohamed Ali of Egypt gifted Britain Egyptian things and British Archaeologists worked with Egyptians to discover tombs and
    brought lots of wealth to Egypt. The British Museum takes care of all the belongings they have, and they are highly respected, they work with archaeologists and other museums around the world, most of these pieces in the Museum would have been destroyed by Islamic radicals by now. You may hate the British but the fact is without archaeologists of British heritage the field of historical study & archaeology wouldn't be what it is, it would suffer greatly and that's just a fact. Imagine no Tutankhamun tomb being discovered, no Egyptomania of the 1920s, Egypt is suffering greatly today due to Islamic fundamentalism and a lack of tourism, but oh well, it's good that the filthy British can't discover more things I guess.

  50. t.... b....

    it would b different !

  51. t.... b....

    we n it

  52. Z.... N....

    Is youtube altering the viewing figures on Lowkey's videos? It wouldn't suprise me given his message of peace and love

  53. A.... R....

    ''Britannia lit the match,
    But Britannia fears the flame''

    Britain started this revolution , but they are not ready to finish this shit....

    Americans time to rise we can release the pressure that will free the world

  54. C.... ....

    Soundtrack to the struggle was a masterpiece in the times of chaos.. We live in new times with different challenges that most have been blinded.. Hard to be as pertinent with the train fully off the rails at this point.

  55. s.... 1....

    Amazing artists these two are in fact they see also which is real music in my humble opinion and the truth is told to all for a change,peace and grattitude

  56. s.... k....

    ...and respect

  57. O.... ....

    Is Mia Lowkey's daughter? Btw, I'm high so if I say anything stupid, please forgive me!

  58. B.... -....

    keep up the good work

  59. a.... r....

    Lowkey is the UK's Chuck D.

    He's awesome.

    a.... r....

    Nice comparison

  60. M.... S....

    Dope track!

  61. S.... T....

    nevr will thare be a day when the cameras arnt turned off who runs this country Cameron or murdoch

  68. �.... �....

    Intro way too long

    �.... �....

    +GlobalFaction
    Yeah, I have and it's great. But apparently he didn't mean it as his return :/

    �.... �....

    each to their own, I personally think the intro is perfect for setting the tone for the song, it's so beautiful and full of melancholy.

    �.... �....

    He made another one! Diaspora.

    �.... �....

    +GlobalFaction, got use to eating junk.

    �.... �....

    If that's your only criticism, then it's not really valid.

  69. B.... S....

    sick track lowkey, every track you make is a masterpiece brother, glad your making music again

  70. T.... ....

    Glad you SPOKE UP for the voiceLESS LOWKEY... Your lyrics rang out like a SHOT heard around the World... I believe in the Truth no matter who is speaking it .. we MISS you LOWKEY ... your words will continue awakening the public.. much love and respect

  71. J.... G....

    the bird that's featured in this album Mai, don't get enough respect. she's pretty amazing.

  72. n.... ....

    Forever relevant.

  73. Z.... K....

    This is perfect soundtrack to what is happening now on political scene! Salut Lowkey

  74. t.... ....

    mai khalils voice is so emotive....can move you to tears

  75. J.... W....

    ‘Britannia called us slaves’ - Although I do not agree with slavery this line feels pointless, the modern Britons do not call you slaves and in the past every single civilization that I can think of used slavery in some form, all that ultimately varied was which civilization was enslaved by which.

    J.... W....

    +Jozef Wicks-Sharp nationalists can be racial. White nationalists want to kick non whites out of Europe and America etc. The KKK are white nationalists

    J.... W....

    @Jason Giovanni dos Cresvanova If they want to kick non-whites out of their country surely that makes them racist, not nationalist, since they're abusing people who are of a different race, not a different nationality

    J.... W....

    the first enslaved in England were white serfs

    J.... W....

    @Apemanwithcalculator exactly people need to learn some damn history not only that but europeans had been enslaved by arabs for hundreds of years before europeans started slaving yet slavery is still a "white invention" LOL

    J.... W....

    +ozza lowes Slavery and all the shit that comes with it is a lesson all of humanity needs to learn and prevent.

  76. I.... N....

    One day he'll return, one day. :(

    I.... N....

    news is that he's back

    I.... N....

    I heard :)

  77. q.... 1....

    I'd love to just get stoned and talk with this guy, he is one of few people today that are intelligent.

    q.... 1....

    quadsbrah 123 you feel you have to be stoned in order to take in intelligent words? I feel bad your brain has been so poisoned by society you rely and things that alter how you perceive. That's how rights get stolen.

  78. N.... ....

    NON EST ARGUMENTUM

  79. A.... D....

    Lowkey is top notch but i think the message is more important than the skillz

  80. W.... V....

    Thanks for people like Lowkey. They are reason why we have more time to fix this crazy world...

  81. m.... ....

    "The biggest looters are the British Museum" I'll never forget seeing massive posters on the London Underground advertising Afghanistan's gold and historical treasures for viewing at the British Museum.

    Disgusting. Theft. Criminal. Injustice.

  82. K.... ....

    Too much truth to handle, that's Lowkey always going real.

    K.... ....

    Kakarot sound my brother I found you on a song that ain't K-Rino haha

    K.... ....

    @p0rt3r1000 :)

  83. L.... P....

    Wow. You will be remembered for a long time Lowkey I can promise you that.

    L.... P....

    Bro calm down he's not dead

  84. S.... H....

    B.... F....

    He's back

  87. A.... B....

    bloody love ur beats lowkey

  88. C.... ....

    I wonder what his opinion on the Turks keeping Greek land and then genociding them is...

    C.... ....

    +Nostradamus
    Obviously he criticises genocide. Same with Greek rightwingers and other rightwingers abusing and doing violence to refugees and forcing them back to oppressive NATO-backed regimes and warzones created by European & U.S. colonialism.

  89. J.... M....

    this man is an inspiration, big ups lowkey.

  90. C.... B....

    +Duellist Z.4.Y.N Just saying that ain't gonna do jack, how many others have already been saying it for years. Has it solved anything? Na.
    We gotta do something practical otherwise words don't mean a thing. Don't talk the talk if you can't walk the walk ygm.

  91. C.... B....

    98 chip and gigs fans😂😂😭

  92. G.... ....

    that true rt music

  93. L.... a....

    so epic!

    L.... a....

    +Duellist Z.4.Y.N +

  94. M.... K....

    What a gem of a person this guy is.

  95. T.... M....

    No other MC can level with what lowkey does with words.

    T.... M....

    Jay Townsend I'm going to check him out, thank you.

    T.... M....

    Jay Townsend Damn, man... K Rino is too damn real. That's probably why I didn't know him. Murda the mainstream or let it burn goes too damn hard...

    T.... M....

    i don't even think Immortal technique can beat him lowkey is on another level but immortal technique is literally one of the top two historical MCs of our time .

    T.... M....

    Maybe akala !

  96. J.... H....

    the only real rapper from England

    J.... H....

    Josh Hearn Akala, Mic Righteous & Lowkey. Just to name my favourite 3. There is also Black the ripper, Logic and more.

    J.... H....

    Josh Hearn the only real rapper from Earth*

    J.... H....

    David Brown akala is a poser mate.

    J.... H....

    Akala, Logic, MIA, Mic Righteous/Reckless... even English Frank has his good days.

    But none of them are more real than Lowkey.

  97. s.... k....

    shame he left don't blame him as he was threatened by the government him as well as his family was in danger need him back fuck the media for not putting lowkey at the top aswell

    s.... k....

    +sayf kingpin He wasn't threatened by the government at all. Akala recently explained how he simply doesn't want to do rap right now, he's doing other things. Which is fair, we miss him but he's gone above and beyond any moral obligation.

    s.... k....

    +Hit “Restart” Now true but it he did say himself he was being harassed by law enforcement as his house was raided taking everything with Arabic writing as well as his lyrics I also hear lowkey may return however it hasn't been confirmed
