God Save The King

The lyrics to "God Save the King," from the British hip-hop album Oi! You got a loicense for that?, celebrate British culture and identity through a rap perspective. The song boasts a unique blend of traditional British imagery (Buckingham Palace, the Thames, Beefeaters) with the artist's rap persona, positioning himself as a "rap royalty" figure. The repeated lines and references highlight a fusion of highbrow (Shakespearean sonnets) and lowbrow (Camden Markets, Soho streets) elements of British life. Ultimately, the song's purpose is to showcase a proudly British identity through a modern, hip-hop lens, emphasizing both the rich history and vibrant present of the UK.
