Terrorist Part 2 Lyrics - Singles - Lowkey

Mai Khalil 

tell them that im not 

guilty 

they calling me a terrorist 

we know who the terror is 

tell them that i'm not 

guilty 

they calling me a terrorist 

it is time we settled this 

tell them that im not 

guilty 

I'm all about love and peace 

why you want to trouble me? 

tell them that im not 

guilty 

my intentions are clear to see 

Crazy Haze 

first of all allow my client kareem dennis 

to simplify his messages 

and dissect the evidence 

that placed him on the terror list 

spread the lies of television 

my client is standing accused of encouraging terrorism 

he's promoting peace far from violent encouragement 

i believe it's unjust that this court has summoned him 

how can one man rapping lead to terrorist actions ? 

this misunderstanding merits a retraction 

accused of calling for attack on military facilities 

you cant equate violence with criticism politically 

where's the freedom of speech ? 

hes just another young musician who is seeking a dream 

my client is accused of inciting racial tension 

he's half arab, half english 

did I fail to mention ? 

the media rendered his reputation ruined 

think about how many youngsters he has influenced 

to quit a life of crime 

and do the opposite 

most of the man' tracks are completely devoid of politics 

the evidence is unseen, the verdict is a done deed 

how can you compare a song to invading a country? 

my client isn't hungry for the blood of the people, 

since when is making a rap song ever been illegal ? 

and the murderous thing that drives this person is love 

I rest my case to the jury and the merficul judge 

Mai Khalil 

they calling me a terrorist 

we know who the terror is 

tell them that i'm not 

guilty 

they calling me a terrorist 

it is time to settle this 

tell them that im not 

guilty 

im all about love and peace 

why you want to trouble me ? 

tell them that im not 

guilty 

my intentions are clear to see 

Both Crazy Haze and Lowkey 

Sir can you confirm you're the artist know as Lowkey ? 

I can 

Are you aware the state has been building this case since '03? 

I am 

You claim that you are all about love and you promote peace 

I'm here to prove that your hot speeches lead to cold deeds 

Your lyrics are a virus, infecting all the youths 

You say whatever it takes to get a mention on the news 

You're an insult to the people and offend the soldiers too. 

Objection your honor 

Objection overruled 

Did you denounce the monarchy and hope for a republic? 

Monarchy is inequality, systemic injustice 

While you strangle Aghanistan, and tangle with Taliban 

Our taxes have to pay for David Cameron's cameraman 

How can you compare spreading anarchy to spreading democracy? 

Like you compare resistance to extension of colonies 

Did you really refer to the US as an obamanation? 

No, I posed a question in reference to it's domination 

I scrutinize governments, you scrutinize songs 

Did you compare predator drones to suicide bombs? 

Yes and I question where such brutalise you can rise from is true 

I choose to write songs but you can right wrongs 

But what if your questions equate to the spreading of hate? 

Is it true you labelled Israel a terrorist state ? 

Yes cause it's based on a threat to a race of indigenous population you could never replace 

Mai Khalil 

they calling me a terrorist 

we know who the terror is 

tell them that i'm not 

guilty 

they calling me a terrorist 

it is time to settle this 

tell them that im not 

guilty 

im all about love and peace 

why you want to trouble me ? 

tell them that im not 

guilty 

my intentions are clear to see 

Lowkey 

Please allow me to state the most relevant of facts 

I'm charged with section 1 of 06's terrorism act 

It is alleged the music I'm publishing for exhibition 

All amounts to the encouragement of terrorism 

My face was placed upon the news as a wanted person 

Because it caused controversy when they saw my songs emerging 

If I was commercial would I have to ride all these hurdles ? 

Raiding my home, take my phone, put some spies in my circle 

Not on it, no comment, I would never change my position 

Not in jail but they gave me these stale bail conditions 

And this is the part where the plot just gets sinister 

They banned me from the City of London and Westminster 

I do this for the rebels that do this without the medals 

For Smiley Culture, Jody Mcintyre and Alfie Meadows 

Before you throw it at me have a look at your backwards book 

definition of terrorism, Columbus and Captain Cook 

I cant lie, getting deep, our lives are very cheap 

When one person dies in police custody every week 

They editing my tracks 

Cause im telling them the facts 

You're more likley to die like that than from a terrorist attack 

When you try to fight the war, people say you defy the law 

Can't quiet me, this is R.I.P for Brian Haw 

We know the truth, no matter what you tell them on the television 

IMF, World Bank, economic terrorism 

I refuse to produce chart nonsense 

Not a servant to the Zionist lobby like Mark Thompson 

The BBC want me making music to impress crooks 

Or doing shows on military bases like Tim Westwood 

Murdoch might have the news 

But me I have the tunes 

Your cameras move unto celebrities to distract the youth 

Remember this fact is true 

when you point your finger at me 

There's three fingers pointing back at you!
