Dallas Woods - Colorblind

I will not apologise for being the descendants of cultures you tried to wipe out
Mother tongue and kriol gets spoken daily in my house
Bullay my buh dem wadjilas mental kardi
Noongar that’s my bloodline the dreaming is where my heart be
Black excellence final form in my melanin
The writings on the wall the evidence is evident
Have your say o kkk irrelevant
Black lives matter I really don't think you getting it
from slaves to gold medalist ARIA’s, Grammy’s, Oscar’s,
Lawyers, filmmakers, designers, models n doctors
Give hope to youth and put money up in your pocket
Our melanin is priceless don’t let them make a profit
Pigment is different you cope it got look out for coppers
They power trip on the daily they take a life and they rob us
Look at you look at me everything that they couldn't be
We about to bring to light everything that couldn't see.. Black Power

Hey tell me can you hear me, Am I alone
Tell me why you fear me I need to know
long story short, how you sleep at night seeing color blind no peace of mind
Hey tell me can you hear me, Am I alone
Tell me why you fear me I need to know
Long story short, how you sleep at night? knowing there's a war going on outside

Don't play the devil's advocate, I ain’t having it
see that’s privilege, that’s arrogance
There's a truth but you can't handle it
had a system but you dismantled it
hey Mr land grabber give us our land back
and for what blood money quick buck
the root of evil there gone never be enough
we gonna never see a change coz they never listen up
Screaming murder at the top of my lungs Look what you done
over 400 hundred victim’s conviction none
Hide behind your policies give us fake apologies
Hit us with the runaround disrespect and run us down
Overdue and understatement 'Put em in a fucking cell'
Take their lives and pay the price 'Put em in a fucking cell'
They don’t practice what they preach so there is no love for police
if they wanna close the gap then put them in a fucking cell

Hey tell me can you hear me, Am I alone
Tell me why you fear me, I need to know
Long story short how you sleep at night? seeing color blind ain't no peace of mind
Hey tell me can you hear me, Am I alone
Tell me why you fear me I need to know
Long story short, how you sleep at night? knowing there's a war going on outside

(Scratch performance) Black lives Matter

If the world was colorblind my enemy would be a friend of mine
It's common sense, it's black or white
Are you an ally? It's time to pick a side
If the world was colorblind my enemy would be a friend of mine
It's common sense, it's black or white
Are you an ally? It's time to recognise

Hey tell me can you hear me, Am I alone
Tell me why you fear me, I need to know
long story short how you sleep at night seeing color blind ain’t no peace of mind
Hey tell me can you hear me, Am I alone
Tell me why you fear me I need to know
long story short how you sleep at night knowing there's a war going on outside
