Lowkey – Read Between The Lines Lyrics
Lyrics
Verse 1
- After what happened on 9/11
- Saddam was a threat they had to find his weapons
- Then an inspector said that he never had any
- A couple of months later that man's buried
- Its damn scary 'cus he exposed their ruthless lies
- Then apparently committed suicided
- But its obvious that he didn't choose to die
- The truth is he was brutally crucified
- Just imagine if they invaded Great Britain
- Face it that war was based on racism
- I love Michael but deep down he's a child
- For years they said he was a pedophile
- But when it went to court he beat the trial
- The reason is money buys freedom so he's allowed
- Don't believe the hype or let 'em cease your mind
- People please read in between the lines
Hook
- Read between the lines...
- Life is just a pantomime
Verse 2
- Yo I might get misquoted in an interview
- And people might say somthing about me that isn't true
- Or say that I did something I didn't do
- Cus I say I'm Arab some people disapprove
- Straight up its made, blood, the fakeness annoys me
- Like a club night that doesn't pay its employees
- I don't go there with my friends to party
- Cus thats about as hip hop as Gwen Stefani
- Years back 50 was real, his shit was raw
- Now the same man call him a snitch and fraud
- Joss Stone didn't sell when she hit the stores
- But that changed when she won two Brit Awards
- A certain MC set up a clique but found bredda's
- Worse than him just so he could sound better
- Don't believe the hype or let 'em cease your mind
- People please read in between the lines
Hook
- Read between the lines...
- Life is just a pantomime
Verse 3
- Yo, yo, hip hop used to be done on the streets
- Now every mug and their mum wants a piece
- Suburban parents hated this music their kids love
- Now even Britney Spears tries to spit, bruv
- They copy whats hot, they're too dumb to innovate
- Christina Aguilera, Justin Timberlake
- And garage was around in the ends for ages
- Then they called it grime and Westwood played it
- Then you got American rappers like Mobb Deep
- Who spit about murdering people on hot beats
- In life they get robbed on street and squash beefs
- When you look at the affect they have its off key
- Bush rigged the first election even let us find out
- Then you wonder why he won again the second time round
- Don't believe the hype or let 'em cease your mind
- People please read in between the lines
Hook
- Read between the lines...
- Life is just a pantomime
Outro
- Yeah yeah, you know in these days and times
- Weve got to train our minds to read inbetween the lines
- Weve got to figure out who's who
- Weve got to see the people for who they are
