The cost of living's like a knife through our hearts
We're just trying to make a fresh start
But every penny goes straight to da rich man
Leaves us struggling, doing all we can


In this UK crisis, we're feeling the strain
Government's turning a blind eye again
From strikes to knife crimes, we're in pain
In this UK crisis, it's driving us insane


The streets are like a battlefield
Where our young ones are forced to yield
To the dangers of the city life
It's a warzone, and it's causing strife


In this UK crisis, we're feeling the strain
Government's turning a blind eye again
From strikes to knife crimes, we're in pain
In this UK crisis, it's driving us insane


The government's like a ship lost at sea
Steering us further from reality
Promising change, but it's all just talk
Leaves us feeling like we're stuck in a walk


In this UK crisis, we're feeling the strain
Government's turning a blind eye again
From strikes to knife crimes, we're in pain
In this UK crisis, it's driving us insane


The police force, like a broken shield
Failing to protect, to keep us healed
Ignoring warnings, of a misogynist
Leaving us feeling like we've been missed


In this UK crisis, we're feeling the strain
Government's turning a blind eye again
From strikes to knife crimes, we're in pain
In this UK crisis, it's driving us insane


Our leaders, like the blind leading the blind
Making decisions that are far from kind
Leaving us in a state of despair
Wondering if they even care, it's unfair
But I'm here, MC Akadmic on the beat
Spitting fire, taking on this political heat
I won't back down, won't take the seat
Of complacency, 'cause my voice is elite.


In this UK crisis, we're feeling the strain
Government's turning a blind eye again
From strikes to knife crimes, we're in pain
In this UK crisis, it's driving us insane


But we won't back down, won't give up the fight
We'll stand tall, through the darkest night
We'll come together, with Real Voices heard
And show the world, that love's the only word.

In this UK crisis, we're feeling the strain
Government's turning a blind eye again
From strikes to knife crimes, we're in pain
In this UK crisis, it's driving us insane

In this UK crisis, we're not alone
Together we'll find a way home
We'll rise above, and reclaim our pride
In this UK crisis, we won't hide.
