Intro:
Back in The Manor I was racking up for stacking up
Back in The Manor is where you would have found me
Back in The Manor used to be the place to be
Verse 1:
But not no more there ain’t no life in the city
It’s all drugs and warfare there ain’t nothing pretty
To many young people struggling with life’s nitty gritty
Now every man woman and child gotta look out for themselves
Cos the Government once again
Are trying ah attack our emotional health
City’s North to South yeah, their all the same
Homeless on the street begging for your spare change
People walking by like they don’t even exist
But the truth is they probably got ah type of mental illness
An illness missed off a GP’s long list
now they’re desperate cold lonely un homeless
Big cities street lights back alleys dog fights yeah
Freezing cold weather on them long, long nights
We go Back to The Manor
It’s like this Back in The Manor
Chorus:
Not No More, Not No More, Not No More
We’re not taking this No More
Join hands together
Not No More, Not No More, Not No More
Verse 2:
Recession equals depression
Oppression sow’s seeds for expression
Leaving young minds
With a physical impression
I’m spitting lyrical bars of passion in quick succession It’s an obsession
Hot words too hot to speak but there on the minds of the people on the street
Pre-Chorus:
Yeah Back in The Manor
Ow Back in The Manor
Yeah Back in The Manor
We’re going back to the Manor
Not no more
Chorus:
Not No More, Not No More, Not No More
Should people have to struggle like this
Not No More
It’s a collaboration a combination
People coming together
Should people have to spend their lives
Stressing like this
Not No More, Not No More, Not No More
Should people have to live like this
Not No More
We got feeling, we got feeling
Yeah we go like this, yeah we flow like this
Middle 8:
Not No More
The people in the power yeah, they know the score
Keep the wealth from the masses
To keep us poor
I say Na Not Na No More
Yeah, we are the power so were write our own laws
Yeah, we have the power to close all their f##kin doors
Mc Danny G on the mic mc
Outro:
Back in The Manor
Rinse out selector
Not No More, Not No More, Not More
It’s all about feeling, big meaning
liberation
It’s the D A NN Y G
Were gonna stand up and be counted
Stand-up be counted
It’s like this Back in The Manor
Not No More, Not No More, Not More

Closer
Enemies even Closer!

Verse 2:
And world just keeps on spinning
And our governments just keep on killing!! To them life has no meaning…
I say they have no feeling…
They try and dress it up like this

Dead kids washing up on beaches!!!
Just like a matter of fact
Pre-chorus:
Now I wanna keep my friends Close
and my enemies even Closer!

I can't eat I can't sleep, I'm running red lights

when I finally sleep I'm running red lights in my dreams
, kids buried in their bombed out homes
No one to hear their screams!!!
Now I wanna keep my friends Close
and my enemies even Closer!
Final Chorus:
I’m running, just running, I’m running, running a red light
I’m running, just running, I’m running, running a red light

|

Verse 1:
This one goes out to all the family's
That are gonna suffer at the hands of the establishment
Please know this is Not in Our Name
Every member of the 397
You should bow your head in shame
So Presidents, so Prime Ministers
Where's your empathy and integrity now?
Its unravelling before us on National TV
Chorus:
Not in Our Name, Not in Our Name, will people die
Not in Our Name, Not in Our Name, will people die
Not in Our Name, Not in Our Name, will people die
People die in vain
Not in Our Name, Not in Our Name, will people die
Not in Our Name, Not in Our Name, will people die
Not in Our Name, Not in Our Name, will people die
People die in vain
Verse 2:
Your nothing but elected, non-affected
Procurers of pain!!
We know you like to call, all the shots, from the safety
And the comfort of your office blocks
But your just 21st century war criminals!!
Chorus:
Not in Our Name, Not in Our Name, will people die
Not in Our Name, Not in Our Name, will people die
Not in Our Name, Not in Our Name, will people die
People die in vain
Not in Our Name, Not in Our Name, will people die
Not in Our Name, Not in Our Name, will people die
Not in Our Name, Not in Our Name, will people die
People die in vain
Verse 3:
We have a situation, where our politicians
have voted for yet another bombing campaign
Where jet fighter pilots and drone strike controllers
Are pressing buttons and playing war games
Setting our beautiful worlds skies alight with explosions and blue flames
But they are just 21st century war criminals!!
Chorus:
Not in Our Name, Not in Our Name, will people die
Not in Our Name, Not in Our Name, will people die
Not in Our Name, Not in Our Name, will people die
People die in vain
Not in Our Name, Not in Our Name, will people die
Not in Our Name, Not in Our Name, will people die
Not in Our Name, Not in Our Name, will people die
People die in vain
Verse 4:
Our Politicians are committing thousands of men, women and children
To buried by rubble rain
Trapped beneath concrete and mangled steel frame
What we are dealing with ladies and gentlemen
Is that collectively we have elected a group of modern day war criminals!!
Chorus:
Not in Our Name, Not in Our Name, will people die
Not in Our Name, Not in Our Name, will people die
Not in Our Name, Not in Our Name, will people die
People die in vain
Not in Our Name, Not in Our Name, will people die
Not in Our Name, Not in Our Name, will people die
Not in Our Name, Not in Our Name, will people die
People die in vain
