[Verse 1: Oscar Scheller] All I see is a high rise, no blue skies Just an estate of mind Concrete rose pushing through to grow And everyone's on their phone 'Cause it thinks it makes them less alone Forgotten how to speak in prose If I wrote a poem I could set the tone But I can't hear you, I got my headphones on [Chorus: Oscar Scheller] Why is it like this? Why does it have to be so heartless? Why does it have to be? Harder when the sun goes down Darker when the sun goes down Like this Why does it have to be so? [Verse 2: Miraa May] I heard this song before, they say it's called London's Burning I pray they don't hurt him Little brother take your time with it Instead of fighting it In the streets there's no wrong or right innit I get it, if he violates then wet him It's the same shit from Tottenham to Streatham and I'm tired of it But who do you blame when the streets are laced with pain and Can't put out the kids when this shit will never change, yeah And now I'm fucking tired of all these liars all in our way Fuck these politicians just murderers in submission Robbing us blind, hurting children and racism kept at bay They burned down Grenfell tower and it took my heart away All I can do is get down on my knees and pray pray pray for 'em Pray pray pray for the day that justice will lead the way I try my best to survive my city No tea and crumpets, it gets real gritty, it's London [Chorus: Oscar Scheller, Jevon] Like this? Why does it have to be so heartless? Why does it have to be? Harder when the sun goes down Darker when the sun goes down Like this (yeah, yeah) Why does it have to be so? [Verse 3: Jevon] I'm from a place where we see flowers on graves Planted bricks and grew my council estates Wind our windows down then we scream something foul to the jakes Loud mouth, blow my loud in your face Bad manners from bad manors Family full of crooks and gang bangers I can't trust nobody because they're back stabbers Where I'm from I can't floss what I got I can paint a thousand pictures with this crop that I robbed But most of my g's got an angry face Another gravestone with your family's name Laugh in your face when we bust this case Praying that death don't come this way One last chance it's your final go Fuck it up once you know the cycle go Wait I'm praying that it change round Theresa May you're still a waste gyal, yeah [Chorus: Oscar Scheller, Oscar Scheller and Miraa May, Miraa May] Like this? Why does it have to be so heartless? Why does it have to be? Harder when the sun goes down Darker when the sun goes down Like this Why does it have to be so? Why does it have to be? Why does it have to be, yeah? Why does it have to be like this?
