Lowkey, Logic - Relatives lyrics

The views expressed on this track are not
Directly those of Lowkey or Logic
Were just drawing attention to the
Lifestyles that some people lead

My mom just left and my dad got poisoned
I was young but I was told
That the government did it

From my heart I can say
That I love being British
I grew with 5 older brothers and sisters

Yeah I had a lot of siblings
But some have gone missing
Now it's just me and my little sis

It's cold where I live so I
Read every page of the sun
And I'm getting mad
With what I look at and read

I started meeting
Now I'm training with the mujahedeen
Because I've heard that the westerners
Are coming with bombs


Pain is the same fam, it's all relative
They cried the same tears
You cried for your relatives
And one way or another
My brother were all relatives
Home is where the heart is
Yeah that's where it is

Now I'm in the south of Iraq
It's a smelly place
I don't know who to trust
Everybody's got a hairy face

And Bazara's a scary place
It's worse than it used to be
They're dropping bombs everyday

But an orders an order
We've got to clean the city up

They see how we're suffering
And still they don't pity us
They shoot us every day
Tomorrow's probably me

My sergeant got shot in his face
By some dumb young kid
Now I just want to go home
That's where my heart is

Come to think of it
I should have never joined the army
And when I think about it
I don't hate these Iraqi's

Yeah bullets flying past me
I'm scared but I can't run
I take my sister upstairs and
Get my uncles old gun

Don't know if it's terrorists
Or just some civilians
But I've been told to neutralize the
Threat up in that building

A bullet whizzes by my face and
Tears my friends mouth apart i saw red
And starting shooting to make em all dead

I ran up the steps to see
If I buried them all
But all I saw was my little
Sister dead on the floor

Pain is the same fam, it's all relative
They cried the same tears
You cried for your relatives
And one way or another
My brother were all relatives
Home is where the heart is
Yeah that's where it is
