Tell Me (Ft. Imagery) [UK]

lyrics

(Verse 1 - Imagery)

Tell me, I really wanna know
How certain individuals really can blow
Chilling on the right wing airing their views
The system only takes action when they start dissing jews,
But still it’s half arsed I see the flags flying half mast,
I clock it all the time like half past,
We should honour all the lost ones not just some,
When you watch a news report think what they just done,
Biased they’re liars, have a gander at the propaganda
Certain world leaders looking like a salamander,
Cold blooded wreaking havoc like Queensbridge,
Tell me why that queen’s on a throne and it’s all leg,
It’s digi, why am I in London city,
Accept the notion god placed me here get on with nitty gritty,
In a United Animal Kingdom
Where certain cats roar and reign over domestic kitty

(Chorus scratches - DJ Koko)

Tell me...I really wanna know
Tell me...I really wanna know
Tell me...I really wanna know
Tell me...Tell me...me

(Verse 2 - Imagery)

Tell me, I really wanna know,
How people searching for a high can really be that low,
You post a hundred selfies a day in a selfish age,
Craving for an argument online yo I disengage,
With the sleep walking dead following the sounds
For the flesh I keep my yard surrounded with wire mesh,
You’re sitting down with your partner not chatting,
Looks like the age of conversation’s going out of fashion,
Now tell me, if you saw me at the top of a building ready to jump,
Truthfully what would you do? - Don’t front.
Try and talk me down or would you start recording?
You’d probably do both you’re going viral by tomorrow morning,
They seek attention - like robbing their enemy,
Then they post it on the gram, all his jewellery their now flexing,
Brothers snitching on themselves that’s the new wave,
I think I stand alone in society I need a new cave.

(Chorus scratches - DJ Koko)

Tell me...I really wanna know
Tell me...I really wanna know
Tell me...I really wanna know
Tell me...Tell me...me

(Verse 3 - Imagery)

Tell me, I really wanna know,
How HipHop was born in the 70’s but didn’t grow,
Well, to an extent yes, but then it regressed,
Clear concise bars I’m hearing less and less,
Rappers on stage with their skirts and handbags,
I can’t hear ’em, all I can see is that they’re looking like hags,
Listen, don’t shoot the messenger,
Me and my boys are sick, we got a high temperature,
Outside of the box like unpackaged goods,
Culture is HipHop, you’re nodding your heads wearing your hoods,
Then they exploit the art until you can’t get in the club to hear your own music,
They use it then they abuse it,
Oppressing the people while they’re searching for exclusives,
They’re dangling chains for rituals for the new kid,
Sign away your freedom and your creativity
For captivity and dangerous radioactivity.

(Chorus scratches - DJ Koko)

Tell me...I really wanna know
Tell me...I really wanna know
Tell me...I really wanna know
Tell me...Tell me...me
