lyrics
I died in custody
Police brutality
My story started way back
Before I lived like a rat in tha kitchen
I swear you’ve been here before
You’ve seen this face – you’ve seen this face before
Picking the fag butts off the floor
Destined never to be more
Deep in the underbelly
Of “inclusive society” – not like a saint
Never to be seen again
You don’t like me or my urban poetry
Deep beneath the epidermal layer
Of your urban
Metropolitan bliss – now face a score of us
That’s why you’re scared of truth
My lifelong mission’s been to figure you out
Why I’m so UGLY to you, in the back of your mind
Like a figment…
Tell mama,
“Once I’ve found my feet,
I’ll be more than just a black boy”
Police brutality
In the 21st Century
Police brutality
My story started way back
Before I lived like a rat in tha kitchen
I swear you’ve been here before
You’ve seen this face – you’ve seen this face before
Picking the fag butts off the floor
Destined never to be more
Deep in the underbelly
Of “inclusive society” – not like a saint
Never to be seen again
You don’t like me or my urban poetry
Deep beneath the epidermal layer
Of your urban
Metropolitan bliss – now face a score of us
That’s why you’re scared of truth
My lifelong mission’s been to figure you out
Why I’m so UGLY to you, in the back of your mind

Tell mama,

I’ll be more than just a black boy”

Lillion Brosis were a fantastic discovery we made while on tour in our favourite country to play, Czech Republic. From the small town of Znojmo in the South, they make a very big, very awesome sound!
