We'll Never Know

[Intro] [Verse 1: Logic] Let me start with the basic structures of a Western country Imperialism, it's all about the money While we moan and complain when it's not sunny Little kids hustle foods, tryna fill their tummy's And, every kid's seen a gun, when you to places like Iraq and Afghanistan While kids over here think that shooting's fun Kids over there shoot to protect their mum's And, over here, we can't claim real hardship Trust me, we don't really know what hard is A hard life, where your family is starving A hard life, where your family is killed by the army A life where you're seen as a target A life that you wish never started But, they got big hearts, big smiles and energy to make a change I make music for them to play [Hook: Big Frizzle] I said we'll never know Because the places we've grown Ain't nothing like what they know Cause we'll never know [Verse 2: Maverick Sabre] Who little lad, Know you're feeling sad Trust me there'll be better days you never had The pain you felt will never last Try and say we ain't the same, walkin' to different paths Why must I hate? Turn on the TV and just sit and laugh But, that child'll never smile, he's lost his dad Seein' foreign flags fly above his mother land He's hearin' gunshots like shots from your block When he bleeds, do we not bleed the same blood? There's no lovin' growin' up as cold thugs Imagine growin' up where every sip of water makes you throw up Where soldiers patrol every road, throwin' stones To protect your home, all alone, when there's no-one else So they say we ain't relatives, cause the difference in our melanin As hell as being relevant, fuck it all, to hell with it This evil has been spreading it And, even if my death comes quick I'll be fighting 'til the end of it [Sample] We live in a period where our world has both the resources,  The technology and the know-how to end world poverty.  But, unfortunately we also live in a point in time  When at no other point in history has there been so much suffering [Hook: Big Frizzle] Cause we'll never know [Verse 3: Akala] Okay, let me make clear my position I know your estate feels like shit to live in And, watching mummy graft to stop bailiffs from ringing Is enough to make you wanna hit the block and start slingin' I've been there, no gas, no electric to the kitchen Fridge cuts off, defrosts and starts stinkin' Whether Gorbals in Glasgow, Mumbai or Brixton May not be the same shit but it is the same system But, this is Britain. As hard as some of us have it We're still far better off than ninety-percent f the planet And, that is what you learn, when you get to start travelling Unravelling the bullshit that they are babbling So, this is for the nameless, faceless Millions that die everyday, but don't even get a funeral And, we tell ourselves because where they were born They are less worth, less intelligent or beautiful Well, I don't agree, they are you and me And we are them, but we're too blind to see While some have everything, they ain't got shit And, we tell ourselves, well that's just how it is There ain't enough to go around, on this abundant planet Of course there is, it's just that some of us are ganits And, the habits we developed That are so far divorced from the source We don't even stop to pause, at the destruction everyday Of counts of this human family, it's just normal insanity [Hook x 2] I said we'll never know (We'll never know, never know) Because the places we've grown (Places we've grown) Ain't nothing like what they know (Ain't nothing like ohh-oh) Cause we'll never know (We'll never know, never know, never know) I said we'll never know (We'll never know, never know, never know) Because the places we've grown (Places we've grown) Ain't nothing like what they know (Ain't nothing like they know, ain't nothing like) Cause we'll never know
