[00:15.36]They calling me a terrorist, we know who the terror is
[00:18.02]Tell them that I'm not (guilty)
[00:20.89]They calling me a terrorist, it is time to settle this
[00:23.75]Tell them that I'm not (guilty)
[00:26.57]I'm all about love and peace, why you wanna trouble me?
[00:29.29]Tell them that I'm not (guilty)
[00:32.08]My intentions are clear to see
[00:36.61]First of all, allow my client Kareem Dennis
[00:38.75]Simplify his messages and dissect the evidence
[00:41.94]That placed him on the terror list, spread the lies of television
[00:44.66]My client is standing accused of encouraging terrorism
[00:47.58]He's promoting peace, far from violent encouragement
[00:50.21]I believe it's unjust that this court has summoned him
[00:53.08]How can one man rapping, lead to terrorist actions?
[00:55.85]This misunderstanding merits a retraction
[00:58.83]Accused of calling for attacks on military facilities
[01:01.63]You can't equate violence with criticism politically
[01:06.13]Where's the freedom of speech?
[01:07.38]He's just another young musician who is seeking a dream
[01:10.01]My client is accused of inciting racial tension
[01:12.91]He's half-Arab, half-English, did I fail to mention?
[01:15.77]The media rendered his reputation ruined
[01:18.54]Think about how many youngsters he has influenced
[01:21.52]To quit a life of crime and do the opposite
[01:24.44]Most of the man's tracks are completely devoid of politics
[01:27.15]The evidence is unseen, the verdict is a done deed
[01:29.98]How can you compare a song to invading a country?
[01:32.74]My client isn't hungry for the blood of the people
[01:35.32]Since when has making a rap song ever been illegal
[01:38.15]Or murderous? The only thing that drives this person is love
[01:41.23]I rest my case to the jury and the merciful judge
[01:45.70]They calling me a terrorist, we know who the terror is
[01:48.41]Tell them that I'm not (guilty)
[01:51.25]They calling me a terrorist, it is time to settle this
[01:54.07]Tell them that I'm not (guilty)
[01:56.89]I'm all about love and peace, why you wanna trouble me?
[01:59.60]Tell them that I'm not (guilty)
[02:02.41]My intentions are clear to see
[02:07.01]Sir, can you confirm you're the artist that's known as Lowkey?I can
[02:10.04]Are you aware the state has been building this case since 03?I am
[02:12.66]You claim that you're all about love and you promote peace
[02:15.38]I'm here to prove that your hot speeches lead to cold deeds
[02:18.10]Your lyrics are a virus infecting all the youths
[02:20.64]You say whatever it takes to get a mention on the news
[02:23.37]You're an insult to the people and offend the soldiers too
[02:26.24]Objection, your Honour
[02:28.10]Objection overruled
[02:29.50]Do you denounce the monarchy and hope for a republic?
[02:32.08]Monarchy is inequality, systemic injustice
[02:34.84]While you strangle Afghanistan and tangle with Taliban
[02:37.62]Our taxes have to pay for David Cameron's cameraman
[02:40.68]How can you compare spreading anarchy to spreading democracy?
[02:43.71]Like you compare resistance to extension of colonies
[02:46.16]Did you really refer to the U.S. as an abomination?
[02:48.82]No, I posed a question in reference to its domination
[02:51.90]I scrutinise governments, you scrutinise songs
[02:54.40]Did you compare predator drones to suicide bombs?
[02:57.38]Yes and I question where such brutalised youth would rise from
[02:59.99]It's true, I choose to write songs but you can write wrongs
[03:01.66]But what if your questions equate to the spreading of hate?
[03:05.85]Is it true you labeled Israel a terrorist state?
[03:08.59]Yes, cause it's based on the threat to erase an indigenous population you could never replace
[03:16.12]They calling me a terrorist, we know who the terror is
[03:18.71]Tell them that I'm not (guilty)
[03:21.59]They calling me a terrorist, it is time to settle this
[03:24.36]Tell them that I'm not (guilty)
[03:27.19]I'm all about love and peace, why you wanna trouble me?
[03:29.94]Tell them that I'm not (guilty)
[03:32.95]My intentions are clear to see
[03:37.38]Please allow me to state the most relevant of facts
[03:39.82]I'm charged with section 1 of 06's Terrorism Act
[03:42.68]It is alleged the music I'm publishing for exhibition
[03:45.51]All amounts to the encouragement of terrorism
[03:48.49]My face was placed up on the news as a wanted person
[03:51.19]Cause it caused controversy when they saw my songs emerging
[03:54.04]If I was commercial would I have to ride all these hurdles?
[03:56.50]Raided my home, take my phone, put some spies in my circle?
[03:59.23]Not on it, no comment, I will never change my position
[04:02.06]Not in jail, but they gave me these stale bail conditions
[04:05.00]And this is the part where the plot just gets sinister
[04:07.89]They banned from the City of London and Westminster
[04:10.70]I do this for the rebels that do this without the medals
[04:13.60]For Smiley Culture, Jody McIntyre and Alfie Meadows
[04:16.32]Before you throw it at me, have a look at your backwards book
[04:19.69]Definition of terrorism, Columbus and Captain Cook
[04:22.27]I can't lie, it's getting deep, our lives are very cheap
[04:25.03]And one person dies in police custody every week
[04:27.90]They're editing my tracks cause I'm telling them the facts
[04:30.56]You're more likely to die like that than from a terrorist attack
[04:33.30]When you try to fight a war, they will say you defy the law
[04:36.38]Can't quiet me, this is R.I.P. for Brian Haw
[04:39.51]We know the truth, no matter what you tell 'em on the television
[04:41.99]IMF, World Bank, economic terrorism
[04:44.76]I refuse to produce chart nonsense
[04:47.82]Not a servant to the Zionist lobby like Mark Thompson
[04:50.56]The BBC want me making music to impress crooks
[04:53.18]Or doing shows on military bases like Tim Westwood
[04:55.81]Murdoch might have the news, but me, I have the tunes
[04:59.07]Your cameras move onto celebrities to distract the youth
[05:01.86]Remember this fact is true
[05:03.41]When you point your finger at me there is three fingers pointing back at you
[05:25.85]
