Lyrics

They couldn't hold me down
With a hundred thousand pounds
I needed more in life than just housing some nouns
I've been exploring why
The clouds brought food that drowns
The better we do, the faster we die
I felt the news, felt like a knife
Once again, they hating Jews, but being up against
It always been my kind of life
Couldn't place the faith, so they simplified
Real familiar, minorities being minimized
I found a special type of freedom
Indigenous knowledge
So much shit I couldn't see in the business
Of chasing civilization
Turns out I had stumbled upon
Decolonization
I am whitewashed half myself
I demystified my other white self
I feel proud to be alive, and I'm newly arrived
Nurturing a duly studious mind
We absolutely alike, but it's a dubious light
They push you rudely aside, assert you pseudo-mankind
Racist, judo flips, fine bases, crude lips lying
You can deny me entry, but not my ancestry
You can deny me entry, but not my ancestry
You're kinda, am I right?
Yeah yeah
You're kinda, am I right?
That's something you can not deny
Once we were held up, but that arm's length takes
Strange shape
Shifting between what we need and sovereignty
I mean, can we decide our own fate?
Not just by faith, but by fact
It's the jati, what is my blood?
When it's spilled, count to reach half
Count so you keep track
Quantum justify, the last of the line
Never mind the culture, she lives and grows
Depending on how you sculpt it
Learn discrimination by product assimilations
I connect past and present, strong for one named
Different nations
But we erase them, just a few generations
It's been made to collapse, this place for shame
But when the lines build back, we all could begin
All of a clan, sculpting within, we're tied to the land
This land of survival, must survive another trial
So trials ownership can provide no place to exist
For me or my child
Or the child's child's child
Why when people find connection
They cry foul, foul, foul
Original means nothing, when it turn into legend
Need someone to remember, so tell me this was destined
And see why I feel lesser
You can deny me entry, but not my ancestry
No where to go, no where to go
You can deny me entry, but not my ancestry
No where to go, no where to go
Humankind, I am I
Yeah, yeah
That's something that you cannot deny
You can deny me entry, but not my ancestry
You can deny me entry, but not my ancestry
Humankind, I am I
That's something that you cannot deny
Humankind, I am I
Humankind, I am I
Humankind, I am I
Humankind, I am I
Kind, I am I
