[Chorus]
Crown Land, how dare
Man, you willing to stop my life
Better back it up unless you want some
Don't let the blood on your hands with the blood in the sand
Be determining the hunger of a youngblood
[Verse 1]
Yeah, our sister girl needs our help
Man, our system ain't just, it's designed to melt
In this sunburnt land where the cold heart's felt
We're doubled up from jacks with cards they dealt
We mask the pain in a mask that yells
And you deliberately neglect all our past, I can tell
Suddenly, through a subtle note of music
An untold story of some brother boys bruises
All these other white noises, useless
In a faraway land every second dude's clueless
Sovereignty never ceded or purchased
Despite what it is, brother, don't be nervous
Untypical singalong, it's working
Rhymes with thought, cultural hooks with a purpose
Learning history before it's history
His knee, his neck, inconsistency
The time it takes to hear this song
That's half the time it took just to make him gone
There is no justice, just us
Love is building up in my lungs for my mother
Brother, I'm sorry
Another day scrubbing stuff
Gotta trust
Father, protect us
Yes, son, don't worry
[Verse 2]
We challenge the mind, we challenge the time, we thinkin' of a better life
My mission's a vision to get my spirit off the mission and create a high
You planted a seed and now the flowers bloom just as you create your spite
Now a mother and daughter can peep into kitchen, see a brother cookin' right
[Verse 3]
How is your loyalty?
Yeah, you take back all the things you wish you never said
How could you lie to me?
Hmm, you think black when your money's at a deficit
[Verse 4]
Blacked out, fam, I feel like we made it
Say they ceded a country, my people seein' you claimin'
Create the discussion, don't comprehend they sayin'
My sovereignty is a subtlety, we ain't screaming through payment, you heard
It's your life untold
Look in the mirror and see your life unfold
Praying to your father while your highness takes a seat
We lookin' to the sky, feed the fire through our feet, Lord
[Chorus]
Crown Land, how dare
Man, you willing to stop my life
Better back it up unless you want some
Don't let the blood on your hands with the blood in the sand
Be determining the hunger of a youngblood
[Verse 5]
Yeah, I found an alias for our country Australia
Hypocritical, inconsiderate failures
Too divisive? Don't lie, you like us
That's why you haven't skipped this track yet, don't deny it
Deep down I know you wanna buy us
Play it to your friends like "I know these guys
And yeah, I went to school with a couple black friends
So I think understand what their pain is"
Tell the truth, yo, you don't know shit
Yo, you don't me and you don't know him
What you know about being up in school class
Every motherfucker look at you, telling you you're half-caste
Hit me up now like, "Please, man, forget the past"
Let me think about that
Yeah nah
[Chorus]
Crown Land, how dare
Man, you willing to stop my life
Better back it up unless you want some
Don't let the blood on your hands with the blood in the sand
Be determining the hunger of a youngblood
[Chorus]
Crown Land, how dare
Man, you willing to stop my life
Better back it up unless you want some
Don't let the blood on your hands with the blood in the sand
Be determining the hunger of a youngblood
[Bridge]
Girl, my problems
Girl, you found them when I let you in
And I seen it in your eyes you know me, bae, bae, baby, yeah
Seen it in your eyes you know me
[Chorus]
Crown Land, how dare
You willing to stop my life
Better back it up unless you want some
Don't let the blood on your hands with the blood in the sand
Be determining the hunger of a youngblood
[Chorus]
Crown Land, how dare
You willing to stop my life
Better back it up unless you want some
Don't let the blood on your hands with the blood in the sand
Be determining the hunger of a youngblood
