OUR PEOPLE Songtext
von 3%

You know I′m just tryna make it alright
But maybe we're just gonna try to be someone
Go and let the system burn to kingdom come

Too accustomed to the westernised
Laying on a bed of lies
Or bed of knives, dress better night
That fairytale titled "Better Times"
Fictional glass slippers and pumpkins, you ain′t know nothin'
Young Hercules done heard it from Pegasus, they up to somethin'
My homies rollin′ beanstalks

Giant golden geese talk
Wolf in sheep clothes and the magic beans never been bought
You can suck my Moby Dick
Not playin′ with these little pigs
The apple filled with little drips of poison, you don't need to kiss
Wake up ′fore it's too late to notice they changed the narrative

Sugarcoat the lies with all of these funny characters
Manipulate the masses and never tell ′em the half of it

And that's only the half of it


I′m here with all of my people (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Locked up with all of my people (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
So let me hear you scream if you're with me (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

They locked us up and then they threw away the key
It's the stolen generations haunting trauma that I see
And that′s the part of history on which we never speak
Always moving backwards, keeps the future out of reach, uh
Let′s separate the men from the boys
They drop that money on the market and they failed to hear the voice

I shouldn't talk like this
My country fuckin′ sick
Three percent, the new Pemulwuy
We don't fuckin′ list
Do as you're told or that′s cuffs on the wrist, huh

You're ten years old and that's cuffs on the wrist, huh
They stole the land in the name of their kings
Now look at how they act when you mention Alice Springs


You know I′m just tryna make it alright
But maybe we′re just gonna try to be someone
Go and let the system burn to kingdom come
But now I'm not gonna see my daughter cry
From all the shit that I′ve had holdin' me for life
Gonna let it hold on to us one more time
No, I

I see my people always locked up, locked up, locked up, locked up
Why my people always locked up, locked up, locked up, locked up?
Free my people always locked up, locked up, locked up, locked up
Here my people always locked up, locked up, locked up, locked up

I′m here with all of my people (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Locked up with all of my people (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
So let me hear you scream if you're with me (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Free all my people

From valleys to the skies
You made land full of lies
Made up story, a disguise
Make out everything′s alright
See you're makin' more shit up about us
But I′m here with all my people so speak louder
When you next come around talkin′ this shit aloud
Know we're loud, black and proud and we ain′t backin' down
I got all my brothers standin′ near around us
So hold on to your shit, we're gettin′ riled up

You know I'm just tryna make it alright
But maybe we're just gonna try to be someone
Go and let the system burn to kingdom come
But now I′m not gonna see my daughter cry
From all the shit that I′ve had holdin' me for life
Gonna let it hold on to us one more time
No, I
