Match of the day can wait
JamZ gaming 😂😂😂🤣 name another rapper who has that ability to make you make that decision epic! Sick comment bro!👊🏽
My thoughts exactly
JamZ gaming best comment I've ever read on RUclips hands down 👊
JamZ gaming 😂 xx
Nah sorry mate, not this weeks match of the day lol
‘Life is paradise to some, and a pair-of-dice to others’ 🔥🔥🔥
Bilal I think that's a lowkey (pun intended) reference to Akala's song A Game Named Life
or william blake
What a line! It’s one you hear that’s so obvious in hindsight but amazing no one else thought of it.
"This video contains very strong language" ... CORRECTION... "This video contains only fearless truth and raw poetic talent”
Not 1 swear word/profanity
@@christophertucker4917 great tune but he don't understand that Obama dropped more bombs than any other president. Yeah take that in. Obama dropped more bombs than any other president in history. Mainly in iraq. Trump is the first president to withdraw troops on a large scale from Iraq and Afghanistan and he was criticised in the press for doing so. You are a bunch of useful idiots. You are an idiot but useful for the push for war. I prefer a president who doesn't like war like Trump, the first president in 30 years not to go to war in his first term. Research that. You clown.
Contains a lot of MSM propaganda. Trump the first president who withdrew troops on a large scale as that was one of his campaign aims. The first president in 30 years not to go to war in his first term. Don't be a sheep, be the shepherd who is cleverer than the sheep and the wolf.
@@ChangeBegins9661
1. Look up Obamanation before you start making assumptions about what Lowkey or anyone else on this thread thinks or knows about Obama.
2. Trump may have withdrawn troops but he is as much a warmonger as Obama. The only difference he is a bigger profiteer of war than Obama. He has made more money from arms sales to other countries than any other president. The point here is to be anti-war, not to be partial to one side of a wholly corrupt bi-partisan system. In other words dropping bombs or selling bombs for others to drop is all part of the same system of profiting directly or indirectly from the killing and oppression of innocent people.
The fact that you don't see that and you see Trump as some heroic beacon of peace proves you are the only one here who is asleep, yet you still find time to go around calling people idiots. Remember when you point the finger there are always three pointing back at you... jog on...
@@ChangeBegins9661 he does, check out his song obamanation
One of the best of all time for lyrics, timing, cadence and flow.
Can't wait for his Fire in the Booth Part 3
in 2024...
trust me you wont have to wait that long lol
apparently he said on radio that pt 3 is getting recorded too :0
if the first two are any thing to go off it will be worth the wait
Bilal he didn't say it was being recorded he said it will be coming soon
He probably recorded part 3 straight after this master piece
The reason his music isn’t as viral as it should be is because he’s a genius trying to educate fools. The average mind is that ignorant and uneducated, that 90% of the lyrics won’t mean anything to most people. It’s always a reminder for me to pursue more understanding.
@@mikegroocock6279 Genuinely happy to come across a like minded soul. Remain curios and remember, we are always fools 💕
Very educated and deep. The song hits different every time. I wish I could discern his thoughts as he plays them back to himself. Truly a remarkable individual chosen for this purpose God bless, peace and a long, healthy life for this brother. 🙏💙💯
This is obviously absolutely incredible but it's no wonder he wasn't invited back by the BBC in a hurry. This is what a real legend looks like.
Lowkey is actually a living legend, I just don't want people to realise this after he dies.
Lowkey really is great. but, this performance was mediocre for him
Are you from Coventry
YES I realize it he will die a legend like Tupac Shakur
it was for him your right, And this mans still up there
I recognise it now so I'm glad I've realised it and long before this was made too in his previous music
"Those that signed off on the cladding, are still receiving their wage..."
Quick Grenfell reference that went over most people's head. God bless those that lost their lives.
Remember a Rope is Strong because of Strings interwoven 💪🏽💯👑
Man's not reading off his phone, he's chilling on WhatsApp
Ice cold 💯👍
The legend returns after 7+ years and he's as real as ever, what a message!
Yeah can't believe I didn't know he had done a second I still rember listing to the first one when was like 17
Holy shit, I had to listen to that again, he killed the alphabet backwards 🔥🔥
Never clocked he done the alphabet backwards until Charlie Sloth mentioned it! 🤯
As if I wasn't completely blown away by the incredible lyricism and messaging, my guy starts spitting bars in Arabic 😍🇮🇶
Represent!
It would take long to even understand all the messages in this one video and history
Meanwhile in America:
"Gucci gang Gucci gang Gucci gang Gucci gang Gucci gang Gucci gang Gucci gang Gucci gang Gucci gang Gucci gang Gucci gang Gucci gang"
C Dawg meanwhile in America What’s a lil pump to a rocket flame
joyner lucas killed it on the remix though
C Dawg ughh I know right 😩
So true!
Hilarious but terribly sad.
One of the UK's most legendary
One of the world’s most legendary, lowkey’s pen and message are light years above 99% of rappers anywhere and that’s me being humble.
Most Legendary Lyrically Period
Random words put together?! 'Slithering snakes set up systems to take your soul. Secretly seek social stratification set in stone'. Just coz people ain't quick enough to catch it, or don't ponder enough to understand the profound meanings behind the words, or are too arrogant to appreciate the supreme lyrical mastery, does not mean its random words. Just bob your hear to the beat like you do to most other macdonald's music.
stop embarrassing yourself pal.
Tony Underscore you prefer hate preaching
naareee thakbeeer!!!!!!!!!
Ghulam Moeen Allah Hu Akbar
It's ok if you find no interest in this. It is expected of most people.
Low-key will never get big he's two real for this fake system salute✊🏽
Pattern Gang sadly true
He's very big, always has sold out shows and loads of streams at his shows
Adam Joseph ‘correction’, people power can and will change this. Fk mainstream ghost written divisive angry bully rap.
Unity will make him a legend, without Unity - we are useless meat eaters or plebs..
Jay z offered him a contract he didn’t want it
When I see Lowkey smile, having been here since the beginning, it makes me smile too. Everything this man has endured and carries with him would fold many a man. Seeing him show some extent of happiness is so nice to see. A true idol to me and helped shape my entire moral and political compass.
Same and you put it so perfectly.
💯👌
LOWKEY✊
Power to Lowkey.
5007Finest Power to the people
about time!
King MG you should cover it g
My g give me man a shoutout bruv in your next vid
Moin Iqbal Some asian beg
Eden Hazard shut up kid. Man takes his name off a football player. Go back to sleep
Moin Iqbal some Asian beg smh
I’ve been saying since 2010 that this guy has always been way too dope for the mainstream!
Suppressed
I literally met Lowkey today at a service station and he walked in with his son. I was speechless 😶 and went up said hello. Got a picture/video. Told him he was the most influential ever.
Never clicked on something so fast
Akhi Same
yep
Akhi oi oi
yes.
DITTO! lowkey inspired me to start rap
Apparently lowkey is so lowkey u can only catch him every 7 years
Jeepers creepers of rap
He’s researching 👊🏽
Like the shitebugs of west Texas
Between PHDs every seven years
Level 7 heaven
Bro I legit had to pause this and just think about life mid way because of how fucking good this was
The best lyricist in the uk . His words are poetry.
Batman's Estranged Cousin Were poetry. Now he raps about power to Freemasons.
Ignoratio Elenchi lol your an idiot
Darren Barkhodaee Honest question, do you believe you live on a spinning ball?
av, wretch and akala all better than him
Louis Williams Can you make a body of water naturally conform around the exterior of a shape? Don't lie
Charlie couldn't ignore the 288million requests for this on every fire on the booth since his last one 🤣
as a kid I told all my friends about lowkey and everyone laughed this one brought me to tears people like him are the reason I can keep moving through negative situations his amazing wordsmith and legend of a man 🔥
Lool same
One of the best raps i've ever heard.
Power to those who read bell hooks,
Power to those who sell books,
Power to those who know how the inside of a cell looks,
All those feeling helpless, forgotten or discarded,
Power to the strange fruit they thought was rotting in their garden,
Power to those sitting alone seeking solace in the calmness,
Power to those feeling stained know your tomorrow isnt tarnished,
Power to those who sweep the streets,
With more knowledge than phds,
Power to those who keep their keys,
Return is promised please believe,
Power to those that suffer in silence,
And those it hurts to hear,
Power to those that hold their ground,
Power to those that preservere,
Power to those that love humanity more than they love style,
Power to the immigrant thats probably raising Donald Trump's child,
Power to the blind who can't imagine what sight is,
Power to those staring at the moon and all those working night shifts,
Power to readers, the writers and the illiterate,
Power to those that struggle to decolonise their syllabus,
Power to the shy ones that always struggled to make friends,
And to the half of humanity worth less than 8 men,
Power to those that risked their lives to dig the coltan from the ground,
For the mic im spitting on and the phone your holding now,
Power to those that built the stadium they're playing in,
Power to those that mowed the grass and the stitched the ball that their playing with,
Power to every rapper that doesnt rap about killing,
Power to the builders who build buildings that outlive em,
Power to the slaves of ancient Greece that never had the right to vote,
Democracy dead like Gary Webbe when they import it like its coke,
Power to those that write to prisons,
Power to those writing home,
Power to those writing poems, power to those that died alone,
Power to Curtis Mayfield and Ronald Isley,
Power to the fishermen forced into piracy,
Power to every person working in a library,
Power to every nurse we turn to in our times of need,
Power to the unions and the miners Thatcher punished,
Power to those that drive the buses and those that collect the rubbish,
Power to the youth are desiring the truth,
Power to every rapper that is dying for a fire in the booth,
For those that lost limbs to King Leopold's quota,
And those risking their lives for the P&O to Dover,
Power to union leaders murdered by...
Power to victims of this globalised cosa nostra,
Power to those dieing on the shores and the borders,
Power to the human beings rendered fauna flora,
Power to those that clean up after the stage shows,
And carnival goers haunted by Kelso Colchrane's ghost,
Power to Kevin Carter his picture taunts us ever after,
So many questions never answered....
Remember the last words of Abd al-Mohsin al-Sadoun
الامة تنتظر الخدمة الانجليز لا يوافقون
Power to al-Jawahiri and his rebellions,
They killed his brother Jafar and he cursed the rotten Thamesians,
Enlightened despots pursuing tactics Machiavellian,
Chinese steel preceeded Europe a millenium think about it,
Printed press half a millenium, you'll never get close,
Power to Ken Loach and every volunteer in Lesbos,
Cuban doctors sent to Sri Lanka for the tsunami,
Power to those that cleaned up after the Bullingdon parties,
Kids knowing Apple products before they know what an apple is,
Forgotten like passengers on the USS Indianapolis,
Dying days before they could see what Little Boy's damage did,
On precipice of fascism our passiveness is cancerous,
Power to those still strong enough dream,
Power to those that choose not to be a cog in the machine,
Power to those that love first and hate never,
Power to those that sleep on streets through grey weather,
Power to Aziz Ali and Bone, Thungs and Harmony,
Power to Norman Baker, David Kelly's ulnar artery,
Power to the genocided population of Tasmania,
The internet descends to Trumptastic fantasia,
Let them try qoute this, you'll never find a better diagnosis than collective psychosis,
Its getting quite hopeless but hope is all we have,
Trying cultivate the positive not focus on the bad
But the globes under attack,
The obnoxious rage of a fake intellectual,
Amazing Grace in the age of the spectacle
Not the first time they found a racist electable,
To raise to the pedestal and desecrate the place that translated the decimal,
I don't want to tempt fate,
Power to corpse washers like Salvador Allende,
Power to language learners from Bernie Sanders fans to flag burners,
One man's inertia is another man's purpose,
In the utopia of song we are victorious,
But the bitter sweet reality's not this glorious,
Power to Coltrane watching Malcolm X,
Power to Paul Robeson under house arrest,
Power to Galeano under house arrest,
Power to Ibn Haytham under house arrest,
Forgive me if I sound obsessed,
Forgive me if I sound depressed,
Believe me that's not how it's meant,
They probably thought I couldn't come back and kill the alphabet
El pueblo unido jamas sera vencido x3
Becky C how can I copy the lyrics?
Galileo under house arrest :)
Yessssss
The power of copy and paste.
Ash'shab yerid askawten nadhawm
Lowkey is the king of the UK.
Bassel Elashrey He keeps bigging up Freemasons tho.......
James Hanlon wtf are you on about
James Hanlon he is not bringing it up instead he is exposing them and the horrific reality surrounding us.
Akay Do you believe you are living on a spinning ball?
James Hanlon explain how is that related to this conversation lol ? . and yeah its going 1000 miles per hour
This guy is a voice for the voiceless!
Lowkey said he regrets calling his song 'Voices for the Voiceless' because no one is voiceless :)
James Hanlon when does he say that?
@@jameshanlon3523 there’s always thick bastards like you twisting words.
Unless it’s 1400 White girls I guess
“ We know what Einstein’s mind was like , how many geniuses we never knew that they were deprived of life “ 🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯
Unknown Suspect Einstein was a Freemason, a fraud and a liar. Lowkey has sold out.
Ignoratio Elenchi so.... you’ve disproven general relativity?
😂😂😂
Just joking.... conspiritards have disproven nothing but the assertion that our species is progressing
People need to be aware that there is a range of models that could explain the observations. For instance, I can construct you a spherically symmetrical universe with Earth at its centre, and you cannot disprove it based on observations. You can only exclude it on philosophical grounds. In my view there is absolutely nothing wrong in that. What I want to bring into the open is the fact that we are using philosophical criteria in choosing our models. A lot of cosmology tries to hide that
@@onusprobandi8594 its not about Einstein being a freemason, fraud and a lier, clearly didn't get the point 😔
FLAMES 🔥🔥🔥 .. HE ON ANOTHER LEVEL .. 👌🏽💯 ... from over the WATER 💯
I JUST learned more then what I learned throughout secondary school..
Madness
Did u... u really didn’t did u
Slick Shadez power to u blad
generic comment on any lowkey or akala fitb video
maybe you should go back and learn the difference between 'then' & 'than'
Welcome back.
Finally part 2 damn this is gonna be a belta
People not impressed with the alphabet slaughter?
Their favourite rapper couldn't get pass 3 letters.
If you're looking for fake gangsters bragging about their imaginary gun, you're in the wrong place.
tbh, the alphabet thing has been done too many times (my favorite version was from blackalicious), doing backwards still feels like a wasted concept from lowkey, i expect more from him. imo he smashed the rest of set, i don't think there is anyone anywhere as deep and dope lowkey and akala...
Like that one time lil b shot a gun and almost ripped his thumb off on the slide😂🤣
Umer Raja they don't even use words 😂 they mumble that's why these idiots don't like cause he pronounces his words and non of this mummmmummmmmmummmumummmm nigga mmmmmummmmummm weed muuumuummmim money,
The only words they pronounce are typical ones
neil mccombs ok
Where rappers? Fucking muppet it's their.
The One and Only, Lowkey The Master..... Respect from Tanzania
Haven't clicked on something faster
Buzzing since 2010 for this
Conmister 1996 likewise man, my stomachs been churning for so long it's paining to take it in!! Too much fire man♥♥
Trust and believe 🙌
My man knows. Lowkey is a proper mc
Mans not reading off his phone he’s that ahead of his time he’s reading the comments we are writing now
lol
Brilliant haha
🤣🙌🏾👊🏾
👍🏼💯
Intelligence is natured not nurtured
"life is paradise to some, but a pair of dice to others".
some people aren't ready for this.
@Mick S Trust me, Chester P vibes
Guys like Lowkey, Akala, Devlin and Mic Righteous are on a completely different level to mainstream rappers, they can't even be compared
Word
listened to this on the radio it was amazing i was sooooo gassed now im watching the video!!!
crazyb362 what time was this on the radio?
badbadfull an hour ago bro it was mad my brother!!!
crazyb362 /\_/\
crazyb362 your dp is unfortunate mate ;)
If Messi and Ronaldo's football talent could be translated into lyricism, no doubt it would be LOWKEY.
Klashnekoff is Ronaldinho the super skilful one who people don't fully appreciate
@@firellparker7463 I completely agree, growing up he was by far my favourite player, he's the ronaldiniho Messi and Ronaldo of lyricism

A true wordsmith, also a seriously switched on brother. I gotta to love the way he uses his bars to attempt to teach people and share his knowledge. People should listen, I mean really listen!!
right!
Listen is anagram for silent ❤
The alphabet assasin, bars are gonna be going over so many heads, lisn 3 times before commenting 😂💥
He should do a new rap video backwards alphabets
hahaha definitely
Spartan H trust me his bars are hard to catch especially the first part of this bar after bar consistent with substance
I caught em all but it's just to much
U ppl dumb...... Only person the perfected the alphabet rap was papoose
The GOAT is back.
Sutherland ghetts never left
Throw away the dislike button on this, it’s not allowed
Calm there will always be haters. Go and check at 2 pac Changes. There are 15k dislikes on that. Unbelievable.
Wow remove anyone's right to have an opinion different from yours, is that you Hitler?
No. It is I Yerkes Dodsen.
You got something against 90's rap or something?
That was for slazart1
Power to those who listens to Lowkey.
Missed my son's birth for this. Worth it.
Big up everyone who remembers that second beat from his old freestyle that’s on uncensored
Best MC to touch a mic from the uk period. ⭐️
To Grenfallise / grenfall lies . This wordplay is sick Lowkey Doke
UK's top 10 lyricists should clash the US' top 10, I reckon they can get smoked.
Bruh the actual chicken connoisseur is a low-key fan! Mad! This is the most ambitious crossover
Watch battle rappers they’re a different level
Idk about anyone getting smoked but it would be fucking amazing
@@triggamanful US would beat UK overall but right now I think UK would win
@@realeyesrealisereallies97 USA full of illuminati sellouts!
Incredible
Life’s a paradise to some , and a pair of dice for others, GOD DAMN , that might be the hardest bar I’ve ever heard
Tbh, most of the people he's talking about are playing the game with no dice at all 😞
My man powerful strong message hard g
He bodied it, only real ones know about the 2nd beat. I don't even mind that he recycled his power bars because of how powerful they were in context to everything else that he rapped. Lowkey remains king, no one can touch his bars.
Mo Ney you ever heard of akala and wretch and devlin?
200 bars
ManUnited123 he's in their league. Klash too.
Low key might have bagged 200 hundred bars homie, but u also copped a 100 like. GG
@@josh-ob5oj the beat is "today" by royce da 5'9!
Peak how something like this will never be as big as Mans not hot!
Aamir Ahmed I know what you mean but he doesn't like the fame I dont think he would want it to blow that big
Yeah, but it's stupid to think that people rate a comedian over a lyrical genius
Never say never, hes back on mainstream spraying some rather controversial bars, intelligence will trump stupidity one day i say.
The kings back!!!
There are few left like this. Real lyrics. Real passion. Real hip hop
Full lyrics:
If they dont let us dream we won't let them sleep
It's the zeitgeist, Zapatista, Zoro at his zenith,
Z of zinc in the zebra zigg-zagging zealots,
Zilch to zombies and zionists he's zen in his zodiac,
Fire in the booth? its Zoroastrian the zone he's at,
Yapping like Yokozuna in Yemen youtubing yoga,
Or Yokozuna in Yeovil yodelling in Yoruba,
They yelling you're the yardstick of yesteryear like Yeboah,
They're yearning, I'm yawning this is like a yetti vs Yoda,
Im an x-ray you're xerox, I'm Xavier to the x-men,
Ex out xmas like your Xanax to an extent,
A wonderful world is waiting while weapons wage war we're weeping,
Who's winning? We wish them well while wicked wizards webs were weaving,
They whip us until we're weezing,
Our words of wisdom won't weaken,
Witness these whatlass witless wallies waffling with their weekend,
Their wording is wikipedia virtually void of vitals
Verses visceral,
vintage but vivid videos going viral,
I'm your uncle that understands,
Now its us with the upperhand,
We were underlings underrated unhuman to uncle sam,
The theory teaches that there are those thinking tactics to take the throne,
Though the truth tends to be told,
Through their thesaurus it takes it's toll,
Slivering snakes stipulate systems to sell your soul,
Secretly seek social stratification set in stone,
Regiments ravaged the region now its ripe for reparations,
Rendered refugees cant retract or repair ramifications,
On a quest to quash the quarrels im quintessentially qualified,
quitters quake the quality of my qoutes cant quite be quantified,
People pass prematurely and pay the price for passivity,
Pretext to pillage, plunder prepare to prolong proximity,
A puppets pathology pulverized by these posibilities,
People power is potent and the peak of positivity,
Oligarchs ostricise others offer obituarys,
Overall I overstand the odyssey optimistically,
The norms of a nascent nation should never negate nature,
Nasty as nefarious neo-con naysayers for neighbours,
This masterful maveric mic man, will make you meet your maker,
Meanwhile merciless mercenaries manueveur to meet to the majors,
Lyrically lackluster literally lack love,
Lust living lavish in luxury listener lapp up,
A kaleidescope of kindness, knowledge, knuckles and kerosene,
To kill the kleptocracy and cool the kettle that they kept us in,
On a journey for justice, jabbing javelins at jingoism,
Jealousy justified when jeering at jobless is journalism,
Informatiom industry interlinked with infantry,
Instrumentalise identity implant ignorance instantly,
Hackers in handcuffs, harvesters of hatred handgliding,
Harbingers of harrassment habour harmful handwriting,
Gangsters of globalisation glorify glitz and glam, Give us guidance to the graveyard they got the gift of the gab,
It's flawless how they fabricate the folklore of the fiefdom,
Funnell funds to freelance fighters and fawn over fights for freedom,
Entertainment is education, empathy is eccentric,
Economics everything, exploitation an epidemic,
Exhausting environment is easy but the dividends are deadly,
Don't dare dream of doing different dread our destruction is definitely,
Coming as the catalysts clamour for capital,
Can't counteract the cycle this catastrophe could cancel all,
Bring borders to bear bombarded with the broken,
Basically bribery beckons business we are beholden,
Accurate answers to all of the above aren't available,
I attacked the alphabet again and aced it just to aim at you,
If they dont let us dream, then we won't let them sleep....
How can i do a fire in the booth, when I'm trying just to maintain,
And since June don't hear the word fire in the same way,
Screams, splutters and them gasping for air,
Thats not bars in a booth its so hard to compare,
If i use fire as metaphor,
Does that disrespect the people that are never more?
How does that bomb sound sound to those that bled in war that we never saw?
Remember when they settled scores with metal swords like skeletor,
Chinese made gun powder, Nobel invented dynamite,
They say the guilt in his mind compelled him to design the prize,
We know what Einstein's mind was like,
How many geniuses we never knew that were deprived of life?
I can't philosophise on horrifying flames,
We dont have to apologise or qualify our pain,
Degrenfellise our loved ones of the colonisers name,
Should we let the corporate media labotomise our brains,
You are beautiful, no matter how this life disfugures you,
Youre beautiful even if that image you emulate isn't you,
I dont know if history is linear or cycilical,
But know im ridiculed for making invisibles visible,
That's why Plato said banish poets from the republic,
Cos they know that we can shake the social system and disrupt it,
The land of liberty, they tell us leave it or lump it,
When Trump comes to this country we hope he chokes on his crumpet,
Before we sink in the ocean, consider this as an omen,
Natures blessings aren't ours just cos we think that we own them,
Never think that you're broken,
Or think that you're no-one,
Remember a rope is strong because of strings interwoven,
Would they love you more if you mock the people that you're from,
Self orientalise and believe that you belong,
Overcompensate and propogate the image of the imbecile,
Not uninvolved though you're further from the killing field,
Take solace in the fact there's always cracks in the monolith,
Now we're practically lobbing bricks like Asterix and Obelix,
Distracted with gossip it's twisted news an interlude to adverts no hidden truths to listen to it's pitiful,
Rosa Luxembourg gave us this simple truth,
You won't feel your chains till the day you begin to move,
He photographed a corpse and they flung him in the cage,
Those that signed off on the cladding are still receiving their wage,
Helicopters hovered close, pictures for the front page,
Tried to speak all I really felt deep was numb rage,
How could they see this pain at such a young age,
Leaning out the window, screaming for help but none came,
If it bleeds it leads, trauma tourists they gravitate,
Shock doctrine in effect, disaster capitalists salivate,
Privitisation, deregulation and austerity,
To zero hour contracts, exploitation and precarity,
Adults didnt make it, children to be fostered,
Saved pennies on the block, dropped 20 million on the opera,
We see through your cold plans, your programme is done,
We dont want a Prime Minister that holds hands with Trump,
We don't want DJs doing shows on military compounds,
Cant trivialise fire or hear any more bomb sounds,
How can I smile when I know the remains are still not found,
And echoing in my mind is exactly how the sobs sound,
They say we're criminals for the syllables and stanzas,
When they subsidise the killers tools, the pillagers and bankers,
Who are the engines of history, people like me and you,
Who got massacred for the right to vote at peterloo,
It was imagineers, the poets and the artists,
The miners, tolpuddle mayrtys, william cuffay and the chartists,
Rebel and resist even through something small,
Create windows with words and mirrors where once were walls,
Manure contributes to the beauty of a rose,
Why cant we accept our pain as something that helps us grow,
They wonder why songs that make you cry are more moving,
Cos crying's the only thing that we were born doing,
They tell us Tea is tradition to the English,
When I look around this island not a Tea plantation in it,
Earl gray gave 20 million to the slave traders,
Multi-polar world now the Indians are space raiders,
Freedom to be even or merely alienate labour,
Freedom for fossil fuelers to descrate and invade nature,
Albert was an immigrant, Prince Phillip is an immigrant,
Where the Celts, Normans and the Anglo-Saxons English then?
The words Sugar, Cotton and Rice come from Arabic,
Now we import democracy to civilise the saracens,
Analysing planets when this back water was wilderness,
It seems we're still obsessed with immortality like gilgamesh,
Pessimism of intellect, optimism of will,
Wear the skin of their victims its syndrome buffalo bill,
In times of permanent war there is always someone to kill,
But when life and death are virtual almost nothing is real,
They got my snapshots in a padlocked box,
Settle with the heavy metal this is rap not rock,
Its fire in the booth but mans not hot,
I just got genious bars like a laptop shop,
They wanna know if im got a flow, or im gonna blow,
Back like Geronimo Pratt let's rock n roll,
Never sold my soul for a pot of gold,
Now feel this scholars solid knowledge in your collar bone,
Subject of propaganda, that terrifies the slumberd,
But the albums still sell you can verify the numbers,
Collectivise or die, protect your mind or suffer,
Life is paradise to few and a pair of dice to others,
While these twittery teens, are sinking in screens and thinking in memes,
They blink and this machine is pimping their dreams,
I think its obscene, as sick as it seems,
They dont know what lyrical invincibility means,
Dont wanna start feuds, i barge through for part 2, I cant lose,
Labels astroturfing trying to make it look grass roots,
Gone are the days we sold our cds from the carboot,
A sharpshooter shooting harpoons through your chart tunes,
I saw pain in the eyes of a tired retired fire man,
Knowing he couldnt help a child survive the frying pan,
When we riot we disquiet the leviathan,
Forget iron man i got an iron lions diaphragm,
My salutation to those with imagination,
Most anticipated and thats no exageration,
The flag doesnt exist let me back that statement,
What happens to the nation, if the Queen has a tax haven?
Whats common sensical is sensible to question,
What seems to be a lesson is intellectual repression,
Say the ting goes.. As expression of aggression,
Remember there two victims on either side of the weapon,
ExlusiveTV Content legend
Damn these bars hit much more harder when you can read them and understand them at a slower pace, lowkey is truly one of the best lyricists in the UK
When Lowkey looks into the camera, it's like he's speaking to your soul xd
So true it hits home
Was expecting fire but instead got the nucleus of an atomic bomb going off my man never fails to deliver , the epitomy of dropping bars and dropping knowledge
Talent like this makes me keep coming back to listen to low keys words of wisdom when I am feeling down and low he clears the mind and gives comfort to the sole
I had to click this link as soon as possible 😱😱😱 he's finally back
Fire department low key again 🚒🔥🔥
Am I the only one getting goose bumps??
Only Lowkey and Akala manage to make my heart shiver when they spit dem type of bars...This was long overdue and it was worth it in my humble opinion
RealVersatile Do you believe you are living on a spinning ball?
Intelligent rap with raw real rhymes! Rare but ever so clever.. If only there were more like him!
Been waiting for this for timeeee trust!!!
crazy long mate .
The blissful words at the end:
Arabic: "الشعب يريد اسقاط نظام"
The people want the downfall of the regime.
Spanish: “El pueblo unido jamas sera vencido”
The people united can never be defeated
Jsjsh Snishsh thanks for that

The Arabic bit in the end:
Ash-shaʻb yurīd isqāṭ an-niẓām (Arabic: الشعب يريد إسقاط النظام pronounced [æʃˈʃaʕb juˈriːd ʔɪsˈqɑːtˤ ˌænniˈðˤɑːm], "the people want to bring down the regime") is a political slogan associated with the Arab Spring. The slogan first emerged during the Tunisian Revolution
"Collectivise or die protect ur mind or suffer life is paradise to some & a pair of dice to others"
#REALNESS!!💯🎯✔✌
Abdul Hakim I read this just as he was saying it!!
Respect Lowkey. No other rappers as intelligent as u. You had the skill - now the smart too. Respect again and again ma bro
Akala on a level man
Every sentence he speaks has a powerful meaning behind it. Nobody is as straight raw as Lowkey ⚔️🔥🔥🔥
My face is deforming; my smile has never been this wide 🤓📚💕🌍 but as soon as I concentrate on THE words. Reality hits hardd 😭 love from fellow human 💗🇱🇾
Guess who's back from the land of the nomads
Land of the scallywags, land of the toerags
Land where they don't Snapchat and they don't dab
We were fractured to fragments, it's so sad
We were captured as chapters in notepads
Where the have-lots robbed from the don't-haves
Where the caps lock's lost in the phone tap
Emojis minus emotion and vocab
Seven years passed, let me parse you for part 2
Are these bars in here? I cant find them lol
+James Dean search "Lowkey 200 bars", it's the first bit of that video
youre a g, thank you
"i never sold my soul, for a pot of gold, now feel this scholar's solid knowledge on your collar bone" haha sick xD
Historical channeling FREE FLOW style ❤
"While these twittery teens are sinking in screens, and thinking in memes, they blink and this machine is pimping their dreams. I think its obscene as sick as it seems that they don't know what lyrical invincibility means" ... 'PERFECT'
"How can i do a "Fire In The Booth" when i'm trying just to maintain, and since June don't hear the word 'Fire' in the same way"
Fire in the booth more like a bomb in a volcano. If they don’t let us dream we won’t let them sleep, peace and respect Lowkey.
"Brother, do you realize that some of history's greatest leaders never were recognised until they were safely in the ground". ~ Malcolm X.
No one can do it better than Lowkey.
Keep that real music alive!
Greetings from Serbia.
The alphabet killer. Good to see him back finallyyyyy
Words of wisdom
Intro]
You know what time it is when you hear this right
["Stillmatic" instrumental]
Yeah, Fire in the Booth, much anticipated Part 2
Hold tight suspense, listen
If they don't let us dream then we won't let them sleep
If they don't let us dream then we won't let them sleep
Listen
[Verse - Alphabet Assassin Part 2]
It's the zeitgeist, Zapatista, Zorro at his zenith
Z of zinc in the zebra zig-zagging zealots
Zilch to zombies and Zionists he's zen in his zodiac
Fire in the booth? It's Zoroastrian the zone he's at
Like yapping like Yokozuna in Yemen youtubing yoga
Or Yokozuna in Yeovil yodelling in Yoruba
They yelling your yardstick of yesteryear like Yeboah
They're yearning, I'm yawning this like a yeti vs Yoda
I’m an X-ray you're Xerox, I'm Xavier to the x-men
Ex out xmas like your Xanax to an extent
A wonderful world is waiting while weapons wage war we're weeping
Who's winning? We're wishing well while wicked wizards webs were weaving
They whip us 'til we're wheezing
Our Words of wisdom won't weaken
Witness these whatlass witless wallies waffling with their weekend
Their wording is Wikipedia virtually void of vitals
Verses visceral
Vintage but vivid videos going viral
I'm your uncle that understands
Now it’s us with the upper hand
We were underlings underrated unhuman to Uncle Sam
The theory teaches that there are those thinking tactics to take the throne
Though the truth tends to be told
Through their thesaurus it takes its toll
Slivering snakes stipulate systems to sell your soul
Secretly seek social stratification set in stone
Regiments ravaged the region now its ripe for reparations
Rendered refugees can't retract or repair ramifications
On a quest to quash the quarrels I’m quintessentially qualified
Quitters quake the quality of my quotes can't quite be quantified
People pass prematurely and pay the price for passivity
Pretext to pillage, plunder prepare to prolong proximity
A puppets pathology pulverized by these possibilities
People power is potent and the peak of positivity
Oligarchs ostracise others offer obituaries
Overall I overstand the odyssey optimistically
The norms of a nascent nation should never negate nature
Nasty as nefarious neo-con naysayers for neighbours
This masterful maverick mic man, will make you meet your maker
Meanwhile merciless mercenaries manoeuvre to meet to the majors
Lyrically lacklustre literally lack love
Lust living lavish in luxury listeners lap up
A kaleidoscope of kindness, knowledge, knuckles and kerosene
To kill the kleptocracy and cool the kettle that they kept us in
Jabbing javelins at jingoism
Jealousy justified when jeering at jobless is journalism
Information industry interlinked with infantry
Instrumentalise identity implant ignorance instantly
Hackers in handcuffs, harvesters of hatred hand gliding
Harbingers of harassment harbour harmful handwriting
Gangsters of globalisation glorify glitz and the glam
Give us guidance to the graveyard they got the gift of the gab
It's flawless how they fabricate the folklore of the fiefdom
Funnell funds to freelance fighters and fawn over fights for freedom
Entertainment is education, empathy is eccentric
Economics everything, exploitation an epidemic
Exhausting environment is easy but the dividends are deadly
Don't dare dream of doing different dread our destruction is definitely
Coming as the catalysts clamour for capital
Can't counteract the cycle this catastrophe could cancel all
Bring borders to bear bombarded with the broken
Basically bribery beckons business we are beholden
Though accurate answers to all of the above aren't available
I attack the alphabet again and aced it just to aim at you
They say anything is attainable
Attack the alphabet again and ace (it just to aim at you)
no way, mr alphabet is back, if you know you know 🤘🏼
My eyes couldn't believe the notification I got
Every time I listen I learn
I'm speechless or once.
