Great Britain Lyrics

[Intro]
I got soul, yo yo
They say, take away a man's freedom, take a man's soul
If you believe in evolution, then where's your soul?
Yo, Great Britain, Freemasons
Yo

[Verse 1]
Yo, the BNP still exists in Great Britain
Police brutality exists in Great Britain
Slavery made the riches of Great Britain
The Queen wears stolen diamonds, Great Britain
Her husband's a Freemason, Great Britain
They killed Lady Di, Great Britain
Do I have to go into why, Great Britain?
Your politicians corrupt, Great Britain
Your prison's full of crooks, Great Britain
Your education system is corrupt, Great Britain
Your laws are played out and fucked up, Great Britain
The IRA used to bomb your streets, Great Britain
Then you shake your hands in a deal, Great Britain
Thought you never negotiate with terrorists, Great Britain
Are Muslims your only nemesis, Great Britain?
The FBI's paedophile list, Great Britain
But keep it on a hush hush hush, Great Britain
[Hook] x2
If I had an army, I would fight you
If I had the police, I'd arrest you
If I had my own court, my own judge and jury
I'd sit back and let history tell the story

[Verse 2]
Yo, you sold weapons to Iraq, Great Britain
Sold your soul to America the devil, Great Britain
You haven't got no religion, Great Britain
Do you really believe in Jesus, Great Britain?
Thou shall not kill, Great Britain
Thou shall not steal, Great Britain
The homeless roam your streets, Great Britain
It's all about your stocks and shares, Great Britain
A mortgage wrapped around your neck for years, Great Britain
The bank manager borrows your money, Great Britain
Now you in a whole heap of debt, Great Britain
Poverty is on your doorstep, Great Britain
Sit back and watch some TV, Great Britain
Watch the adverts and buy shit, Great Britain
Everything on finance for you, Great Britain
A slave to the system every day, Great Britain
While the rich take over your brain, Great Britain

[Hook] x2
[Verse 3]
Don't believe what you read in the news, Great Britain
You gave Palestine to the Jews, Great Britain
Stick your nose in people's affairs, Great Britain
Councillors on 60 grand a year, Great Britain
More than the soldiers in Iraq, Great Britain
Then you have to pay your Council Tax, Great Britain
The Queen lives in a house like Saddam Hussein
They're both rich so I guess they're both one and the same
Rule Britannia, Britannia rules the waves
Pirates on the ships just searching for the slaves
Control the world in this New World Order
Could've spent the war money on homes, food and water
I was born and raised in Great Britain
Brainwashed and put in a daze by Great Britain
I learnt how to rap myself in Great Britain
Yo, there's nothing better than living in Great Britain

[Hook] x2
