Won't get none of your CD's back Drag off your curtain rail from the wall Kick off your HDTV from the stand Run up on stairs into rooms Flip the mattress and search for the cash Make man look down the barrel of a mash

If we abolished the royal family and seized their assets we could pay of the national debt. We could destroy that corrupt, vampiric family once and for all. What have they done for us? Charles was best friends with Saville, and Andrew is an infamous pedophile. The Queen and Phillip use the blood of the young to extend their lives through monthly complete blood transfusions. The oligarchs harvest the blood of our generation to extend their dysgenic and worthless lives.
Westminster is full of crack addicts and pedophiles, the country is run by oligarchs, and the royals sit on estimated billions of pounds. They are useless now, and they have shown themselves to be the manifestation of every aspect of our societal decline: insouciance, corruption, vapidity, pedophilia, exhaustion.
WE have vigor WE have truth WE have ourselves
It is clear to me now. The royal family must be abolished, their assets must be siezed and they must be stripped of all power. The city of London must be restructured by a revolutionary vanguard, burning out the maggots of high finance. The UK is dead, true, I propose a cremation, so that from the ashes a new ideal can rise. An ideal that embraces modernity while gazing into the face of timeless sublimity.
Our generation will suffer ecological catastrophe, financial catastrophe, and demographic catastrophe. This convergence of catastrophes should be embraced, and then overcome. We must stride into the chaotic dawn of this new millennium with Promethean laughter, so that we may also step into the light of our destiny...
Come to the real thread and we can have a proper chat about this:
Brayden Richardson
I know but when you get all your best negros to rhyme over a beat it essentially becomes rap. British people are weird as fuck. I saw this one video of some "send" grime shit. I don't get it. It's this little white kid calling some girl a whore. Sophie aspen. Idk British people are weird you guys are flush with Muslim and Indians. At least here we have Mexicans which are cool normal people.
