Rare U.K. 12" issue from 1998 of "Liesense Fi Kill" is a powerful piece of dub poetry confronting systemic racism and police brutality in the UK. The track directly addresses the disproportionate number of Black individuals who have died in police custody and the perceived impunity of the officers involved. Johnson deliberately spells the title "liesense" as a play on words, highlighting the "lies" often told during official inquiries and institutional cover-ups. Throughout the poem, he names real victims of police violence and directly calls out several British politicians (including Margaret Thatcher, John Major, and Tony Blair) and police officials, demanding accountability for a system that acts as though it has a "licence to kill."
