[Intro]
Im from a little place called Great Britain
But I dont know if I love or hate Britain
These words upon my page written
Are things that make and break Britain [X2]
[Verse 1]
One inch to the left to the left
Could have been the difference between life and d**h
A knife wound to the heart or to the side of the chest
Could have been one statistic less
See sometimes Great Britain ain't that great
Kids getting stabbed at an alarming rate
The press with a pa**ion to exaggerate
Increasingly clueless heads of state
See knife crime knife crime it ain't about knifes
Its about young Britain and their ways of life
You don't solve knife crime by taking knives at hand
You solve it by installing youth wih hope and plans
Its got positives though, I swear its true
In the south, east, west and the midlands too
We got diversity, that shines on through
Who makes the best music in the world? We Do!
[Hook] x2

These words upon my page written
Are things that make and break, Britain
[Verse 2]
In a 2008-2009 government report
Violent crime was not listed to increase or decrease
It was instead listed as stable
Now what I ask you is
Is stable really acceptable?
See between 2003 and 2008
The number of children admitted into NHS hospitals with knife wounds
Saw a rise of 120 per cent
So in my eyes 2008 and 2009s stability
Just marks that cards as desensitised
But statistics can be twisted
And our contexts arent realistic
And with despising moments simplistic
We need to fight this and resist it!
[Hook] x4
