DEBUT SINGLE - OUT NOW
Lyrics
You hear me now?
Heart is bleadin'
Memories are flyin' - low
In a cold Cold hole
Under a grey grey sky
Wanna die in Birmingham
City, you pushed me to the side,
Never welcomed me
Putting me down
From the day I was born
I never felt home
Never belong, always apart
Integration fairies
Never leaned on me
Racism'ss floating
Thick like a toxic smog
Walkin' the streets
Heart heavy like a log
On Ladypool Road, they called me out
"Go back home,"
They used to shout
"Go back home,"
They used to shout
"Go Back home, go Back home, go Back home, go Back home...."
I wish my feet never walked your soil, city
I wish your streets never rot my soul
I wish my feet never walked your soil, city
I wish your streets never rot my soul
I wish my feet never walked your soil, city
I wish your streets never rot my soul
Nah bruv, I'm not your "cute asian chick"
Thinkin' I’m exotic?
Just for show?
You don’t know the struggle,
You don’t know the flow
See me smilin', but you don't see the fight
I was born in this city
But never felt right
Labelled by my skin
Labelled by my name
Labelled by my face
I wanna die here
... in Birmingham
I wanna die in Birmingham
Be a burden on you, like you was to I
Be a burden on you, like you was to I
I wish my feet never walked your soil, city
I wish your streets never rot my soul
I wish my feet never walked your soil, city
I wish your streets never rot my soul
I wish my feet never walked your soil, city
I wish your streets never rot my soul
Treated like an alien
In my bloody own place
City, you shunned us
Thrown under the bus
City, you threw stones,
And left us scarred
You labeled us
"Chinese virus"
And kept us barred
Making our life hard
I wanna die in Birmingham
Make you remember me
I wanna die here
Make you feel the weight of me
Tried to fit, but you boxed me in
Always saw my skin, not the heart within
Called me fuckin'' paki, yeah
Your words cut deep
Yeah the words cut deep...
City, your words cut deep...
Words cut deep, City
Yeah the words cut deep.
