Facts And Fictions (1995)

The police a chase we
The beast can't catch me
When I see his big stick
him deal me a lick
Tower Hamlets Nine
have to go free
Not even a fine for the
Tower Hamlets Nine
Youth Connection
Stop this infection
Defending defending defending
the community
Some fascists in Brick Lane
looking for a fight
Police doing nothing:
One rule for Black
Another for the White

ADF, we're about to strike

Time is getting short
Elections in May
Give the fascist man a gunshot
That's the only way
There are many different languages
Spoken in this land
But only one language that the
Fascist understand
Why don't you
Kick the f**kers in the head
Kick the f**kers in the head
Why don't you?

”Every institution in this city, right
Is prejudiced against us
Ther's no accountability
There's no servant of the
Police Force
Or his DI or whatever
Who is accountable for his attitudes“*

Our parents had to sit tight
Weren't allowed to fight back physically
Just a mental strain
Restraint!
Now I think I've found a remedy
to this recurring pain
Not passive but resistant
Your assumptions were wrong:

Like coffee without milk (!)
We're too black too strong
For too many years man
you've had your fun
Now it's time
Now it's time
For us to hit and run
'Cos we're second generation
But we're not second class
Now the wrath of the Asian
will hit you like a blast
Now the wrath of the Asian
will hit you like a blast

In this time
there's no justice or peace
In this time
there's no trust in the police

Quddus Ali saw no justice or peace
Altab Ali saw no justice or peace
Stephen Lawrence saw no justice or peace
Too many people still waiting for release
