Focuses on the main problem in Belfast, think you have to be from here to understand it but maybe if you're in the same situation somewhere else you'll understand it too - beat by HipHopCrib - "In The Ghetto"

Story behind the song
I've been on the wrong end of a lot stick which really you'd only get in this country so i made a track to get it off my chest in a non-naming way lol
Lyrics
Take Back Verse 1: In our society we’re ruled by politicians who could Be employed as actors and convince Hollywood The Peace Process just a script for tragedy 20 years still goin now they’ve made into comedy But it’s really just a mockery of democracy I live in a split city I refuse to let it kill me This is history, fundamentally, we’re reliving it Our hate does not belong in the 21st century My generation didn’t fight the troubles Paint the murals, feel the bombs shake buildings to rubble Still yet we act like we were born With the bitterness in our blood Spose the parents are to blame Things int ever gonna change Bridge: What’s it gonna take to make you see? Arrogance’ll be the death of you (x2) Chorus: Take Back (Your memories I don’t need em) Take Back (Your words don’t need to hear em) Take Back (Your fighting over grass + mud) Take Back (Your hate don’t belong in my blood) (x2) Verse 2: Throw away your Kit-Kat wrapper The break is over Allowed ample time to assess the situation If you’re not capable Don’t attempt to rule a nation Where people can’t civilly address their problems Without someone getting shot in attempt to solve em The brits government are fools but stormonts hardly any better We’re a terminal lost cause who refuses to get better And there’s innocent people played in this mix too Progress to certain bigots is impossible to do So then we’ve got stale mate, inciting religious hatred Rioting n back to square one, on n sling your hook We want this done Bridge Chorus Verse 3: I know this songs been done before me Doubt this’ll be the last Tell me how it helps Daily reliving your past If you’ve no choice fair play But don’t try n make things worse Getting involved in paramilitaries you’ll end up in a hurst Each moments a new chance to try n change the state Voice your feelings know 90 odd % will relate It isn’t rocket science to focus on the future Do you really want these feuds to go to the grave with you? I’m not here to rant I’m here to be obvious Think it’s pretty safe to say we’ve all had enough I’m all for world peace but what bout peace on our own streets Can’t help others if we can’t stand on our own two feet Bridge Chorus
