Artist: Plan B Song:   Ill Manors Album:  Ill Manors [Intro]             [Verse 1] Let’s all go on an urban safari We might see some illegal migrants Oi look there’s a chav That means council housed and violent He’s got a hoodie on give him a hug On second thoughts don’t you don’t wanna get mugged Oh shit too late that was kinda dumb Whose idea was that stupid He’s got some front ain’t we all Be the joker play the fool What’s politics ain’t it all Smoke and mirrors April fools? All year round all in all Just another brick in the wall Get away with murder in the schools Use four letter swear words cause we’re cool We’re all drinkers drug takers Every single one of us burns the herb Keep on believing what you read in the papers Council estate kids scum of the earth Think you know how life on a council estate is From everything you’ve ever read about it or heard Well it’s all true so stay where you’re safest There’s no need to step foot out the ’burbs [Pre-Chorus] Truth is here we’re all disturbed We cheat and lie its so absurd Feed the fear that’s what we’ve learned Fuel the fire let it burn [Chorus] Oi! I said Oi! What you looking at you little rich boy? We’re poor round here run home and lock your door Don’t come round here no more you could get robbed for Real because my manor’s ill My manor’s ill For real Yeah you know my manor’s ill my manor’s ill! [Verse 2] You could get lost in this concrete jungle New builds keep springing up outta nowhere Take the wrong turn down a one way junction Find yourself in the hood nobody goes there We got an eco-friendly government They preserve our natural habitat Built an entire Olympic village Around where we live without pulling down any flats Give us free money and we don’t pay any tax NHS healthcare yes please many thanks People get stabbed round here there’s many shanks Nice knowing someone’s got our backs when we get attacked Don’t bloody give me that I’ll lose my temper Who closed down the community centre? I killed time there used to be a member What will I do now until September? School’s out rules out get your bloody tools out London’s burning I predict a riot Fall in fall out who knows what it’s all about? What did that chief say? Something bout the kaisers? Kids on the street no they never miss a beat Never miss a cheap thrill when it comes their way Lets go looting no not Luton The high street’s closed so cover your face [Pre-Chorus] And if we see any rich kids on the way We’ll make ’em wish they stayed inside There’s a charge for congestion everybody’s gotta pay Do what Boris does rob them blind [Chorus] Oi! I said Oi! What you looking at you little rich boy? We’re poor round here run home and lock your door Don’t come round here no more you could get robbed for Real because my manor’s ill My manor’s ill For real Yeah you know my manor’s ill my manor’s ill! [Bridge]          We’ve had it with you politicians          You bloody rich kids never listen          There’s no such thing as broken Britain           We’re just bloody broke in Britain What needs fixing is the system Not shop windows down in Brixton Riots on the television You can’t put us all in prison! [Chorus] Oi! I said Oi! What you looking at you little rich boy? We’re poor round here run home and lock your door Don’t come round here no more you could get robbed for Real because my manor’s ill My manor’s ill For real Yeah you know my manor’s ill my manor’s ill!

Cette chanson dépeint la réalité difficile de la vie dans les quartiers populaires, où l'inégalité sociale est manifeste. Elle évoque les stéréotypes négatifs associés aux jeunes de ces milieux, tout en critiquant la perception extérieure qui ignore les véritables enjeux. On y retrouve une notion de colère face à une société qui semble abandonner ces zones, soulignant à quel point les systèmes en place souvent échouent à adresser les véritables problèmes rencontrés par leurs habitants. Le contexte de ce morceau est ancré dans une critique sociale forte, mettant en lumière les frustrations des jeunes face à l'indifférence des élites et des politiciens. Cette chanson se révèle être un cri du cœur pour ceux qui se sentent incompris et marginalisés, incitant à réfléchir sur les causes de ces tensions et sur les injustices systémiques qui demeurent.
