First Offence - Government Decides

Excellent British Hip Hop 'Rap' group from Manchester, late 80's early 90's.

Government decides moving anti-clockwise
not funny besides masses gonna get wise
soon might break ties starting to organise
don't care who dies country divides
getting sick of lies not scared of reprise
you only get one life but it ends by knife
don't roll my dice wait for grim scythe
apathy is rife haven't got my slice


Those who go without and even the devout
are starting to shout about heredity handout
they draw the line we redefine
they bring decline we bring the crime
work as a team soon people scream
the system's not clean
democracy supreme
ban it off the screen avoid the obscene
not the A-Team propaganda machine


Downtrodden backlash where is my cash
immigrants here fast Italian moustache
curry to ghoulash ethnic mishmash
gates must close now time to say ciao
blacks talk loud front the crowd
strong white sound drags them down
they've led the pack we're fighting back
we move forward they move back
equality preached has been breached
must be bleached my double speech
it's not right black v. white must see the light
escape the night aim...... fire
we've reached the time to shout our rhyme
avoid pantomime use our mind truth
in advance take your chance
we need a stance not just a dance


A great band which in my opinion compare to the likes of Public Enemy 3rd Bass De La Soul Rage Against The Machine Tim Dogg. White rap at its ultimate best. Refreshing beats and lyrics dealing with contentious issues such as race religion and politics. Samples include Lou Reed Rolling Stones The Beatles James Brown. True Working Class Heros !!!

[RedBryn]

The voice of blue collar Salford........sadly stitched up by middle class, trendy-lefty journalists at the NME!

These lads deserve more respect. Gone, but NEVER forgotten: The MIGHTY First Offence.
