Khalid Omari - Riding Around Lyrics

Riding around my g
Riding around my g
Riding around my g
Riding around my g
Look out the window what do I
Riding around my g
Riding around my g
Riding around my g
Riding around my g
Look out the window what do I see

Ay youtman
Your ancestors were more than slaves n chains ya na
You come from a rich culture of resilience
Scholars, inventors, and explorers
Don't make them teach you that
You ain't nothing but a lost slave child
Prone to violence and drug selling
We shook hands with natives of many lands
Not once did we rob, rape nor pillage
Not once did we explore with the intention
To conquer, civilise or exploit
We explored with the intention to trade
Forge relationships and knowledge
We did not plagiarise
Amalgamate or appropriate

Riding around my g
Riding around my g
Riding around my g
Riding around my g
Look out the window what do I
Riding around my g
Riding around my g
Riding around my g
Riding around my g
Look out the window what do I see

Riding round in the whip
Stopped at a red light
Morley's is filled with Black Kids
What the f*ck are you eating?
Genetically modified chicken
Corn starch and sugary drinks
Aspartamane kills kids
Research what you're eating
Type 2 Diabeties hereditary
Prevent or cure them
Make better choices nutritionally
Go Meat free or eat less meat
Drink more water
Eat less processed things...
Think!
Salt and sugar are like bad habits
So shake it
That soul food ain't good for your soul
It's just filled with cholesterol
So next time you wonder
Why they had that coronary
Think about what they ate on a daily
Your body is a temple not a cemetery
So tell me why
We put dead animals in us on a daily

Riding around my g
Riding around my g
Riding around my g
Riding around my g
Look out the window what do I
Riding around my g
Riding around my g
Riding around my g
Riding around my g
Look out the window what do I see

It feels like they're tryna kill us slowly
Betting shops n liquor stores
On the high st
Funding cuts
They closed down the youth clubs
Youts on road getting shot & stabbed up
Dropping outta school
Selling drugs on push bikes
Olders didn't to warn them
Bout the perils of street life
Daddy was in prison
Mummy working nights
Gran didn't stop em
Hanging out with the bad guys

So what can you do?
Detached from the world as you cruise
Through London this afternoon
Crossing bridges wondering
If what you see is true
Or hyper-sensationalise
What you
Subliminally consume
C'mon

Riding around my g
Riding around my g
Riding around my g
Riding around my g
Look out the window what do I
Riding around my g
Riding around my g
Riding around my g
Riding around my g
Look out the window what do I see
