Great Britain
Reflections on Great Britain: A Poetic Exploration of Societal Struggles
Lyrics
I'm from a little place call great Britain
I'm from a little place called Great Britain.
But I dunno if I love or hate Britain
Uncertain feelings about love or hate towards Britain.
These words upon my page written
Expressing thoughts and emotions through written words.
Are the things that make and break Britain
Reflection on factors that both build and break Britain.
See I'm from a little place call great Britain
Reiteration of being from Great Britain.
But I dunno if I love or hate Britain
Continued uncertainty about feelings toward Britain.
These words upon my page written
Reiteration of expressing thoughts through written words.
Are the things that make and break Britain
Reiterating the impact of various factors on Britain.
One inch to the left, to the left,
Highlighting the significance of small actions affecting outcomes.
Could of been the difference between life and death,
The potential consequences of small decisions in life and death situations.
Knife wound to the heart to the side of the chest,
-Could of been one statistic less.
-See sometimes great Britain ain't that great,
Critical view of Great Britain, citing a rise in violent incidents.
Kids getting stabbed at an alarming rate,
Concern about the media's influence on public perception and government accountability.
Pressed with a pattern to exonerate,
-Increasingly clueless heads of state?
-You see knife crime knife crime ain't about knifes,
Knife crime is a symptom of broader societal issues; solving it requires addressing root causes.
It's about young Britain and the ways of lives,
-You don't solve knife crime by taking knifes to hand,
-You solve it by instilling new hopes and plans,
-You've got positives though, I swear its true,
Positive aspects of Britain, including cultural diversity and musical achievements.
In all south east west and the midlands too.
-God damn viresty, that shines right through.
-Who's makes the best music in the world, we do
-I'm from a little place call great Britain
Repetition of themes related to love or hate for Britain and its impact.
But I dunno if I love or hate Britain
-These words upon my page written
-Are the things that make and break Britain
-See I'm from a little place call great Britain
Continued reflection on the factors shaping and breaking Britain.
But I dunno if i love or hate Britain
-These words upon my page written
-Are the things that make and break Britain
-In a 2008 - 2009 goverment report,
Critique of a government report suggesting stability in violent crime.
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?
Questioning the acceptability of stability when statistics show a rise in knife-related hospital admissions.
You see between 2003 and 2008,
-The number of children admited into NHS hospitals
-With knife wounds saw a rise of 120%
-So in my eyes, 2008-2009 stability just makes that card as desenotised
-But statistics can be twisted, and out of context aren't realistic
Cautioning against misinterpretation of statistics out of context.
I'm from a little place call great Britain
Reiteration of personal connection to Great Britain and its influences.
But I dunno if I love or hate Britain
-These words upon my page written
-Are the things that make and break Britain
-See I'm from a little place call great Britain
Closing reflection on the factors that shape and break Britain.
But I dunno if I love or hate Britain
-These words upon my page written
-Are the things that make and break Britain
