Three Rivers Dave

[Intro]
Look

[Verse 1]
Imagine an island where the party never ends
Where it's less about money and it's more about friends
Where the vibes can't dun
It's less about fundin' and more about fun
Tropical sun, that's life in the '60s comin' from the Caribbean
You know Ian, Delroy, Vivian, Winston
Who got drafted to England
Windrush babies from Kingston to Brixton
To say they're the life of the party, you're wrong
My Jamaicans the entire party, you can't see?
Big Notting Hill carni, you can't see?
And the ride's fiber glass, G, you wan' see?
Imagine a place where you raisе your kids
The only place you live says, "You ain't a Brit"
Thеy're deportin' our people and it makes me sick
Cah they were broken by the country that they came to fix
It's like

[Interlude]
They came at the invitation of the British Government
Their passports were stamped 'indefinite leave to remain'
But for some, who were children then, that was a false promise
Thirty-seven years of paying taxes and I got a letter saying I was an illegal immigrant
I came here to England at the age of ten and I've lived here all my life
