The UK was never innocent just cowardly

The uk is guilty too Stop hiding behind America You were involved too It's time for you to take the stand Reveal the blood on your hands Accountability is calling your name America can't take all the blame When it was them who followed your lead Joining the slave trade from your influence Don't hide behind black American history When you have black history of your own Centuries of history condensed all into one In a textbook written in lies and cowardice Erasure of pain that could testify against your guilt History books written with whitewashed ink Don't feign innocence And don't feign guilt Your plan to cower in the shadows And try to run from what you did Does not absolve you from blood spilt When you were the ones who tipped the bucket Your covert operations are not secret anymore When the deeper we look the worse the horror Of what our ancestors had to endure An island of secrets yet to be explored You can't keep hiding forever when they turn up on shore From race riots to Bristol bus boycotts The erasure of black soldiers And the Bristol slave ports The secrets you try to keep are in storage no more Silence isn't your friend It will hold you accountable The many crimes you have committed against black people Your ignorance will be your downfall Your island maybe small compared to the rest of the world But your crimes will be indicted in the court of law Your punishment a cage with no doors Since you like to hide history your freedom will be no more
