Lowkey - Terrorist lyrics

[Intro] So, we must ask ourselves, what is the dictionary definition of terrorism? The systematic use of terror especially as a means of coercion, but what is terror? According to the dictionary I hold in my hand, terror is violent or destructive acts, such as bombing committed by groups in order to intimidate a population, or government into granting their demands. So what's a terrorist? [Hook] They're calling me a terrorist Like they don't know who the terror is When they put it on me, I tell them this I'm all about peace and love They calling me a terrorist Like they don't know who the terror is Insulting my intelligence Oh how these people judge [Verse 1] It seems like the Rag-heads and Paki's are worrying your dad But your dad's favourite food is curry and kebab It's funny, but it's sad How they make your mummy hurry with her bags Rather read the Sun than study all the facts Tell me, what's the bigger threat to human society BAE Systems or home-made IED's? Remote-controlled drones k**ing off human lives Or man with home-made bomb committing suicide? I know you were terrified when you saw the towers fall It's all terror, but some forms are more powerful It seems nuts, how could there be such agony? When more Israelis die from peanut allergies It's like the definition didn't ever exist I guess it's all just dependent on who your nemesis is Irrelevant how eloquent the rhetoric peddler is They're telling fibs, now tell us who the real terrorist is [Hook] They're calling me a terrorist Like they don't know who the terror is When they put it on me, I tell them this I'm all about peace and love They calling me a terrorist Like they don't know who the terror is Insulting my intelligence Oh how these people judge [Verse 2] Lumumba was democracy, Mosadegh was democracy Allende was democracy; hypocrisy, it bothers me Call you terrorists if you don't wanna be a colony Refuse to bow down to a policy of robberies Is terrorism my lyrics When more Vietnam vets k** themselves After the war than die in it? This is very basic; one nation in the world Has over a thousand military bases They say it's religion, when clearly it isn't It's not just m**ms that oppose your imperialism Is Hugo Chavez a m**m? Nah… I didn't think so Is Castro a m**m? Nah… I didn't think so It's like the definition didn't ever exist I guess it's all just depending who your nemesis is Irrelevant how eloquent the rhetoric peddler is They're telling fibs, now tell us who the terrorist is [Hook] They're calling me a terrorist Like they don't know who the terror is When they put it on me, I tell them this I'm all about peace and love They calling me a terrorist Like they don't know who the terror is Insulting my intelligence Oh how these people judge [Bridge] You think that I don't know But I know, I know, I know You think that we don't know, but we know You think that I don't know But I know, I know, I know You think that we don't know, but we do [Outro] Was Building 7 terrorism?
