letra de raci$t / our world - l-fresh the lion

[part 1: raci$t]

[intro: l-fresh the lion (screwed vocals)]
power, money, wealth, greed
divide and conquer, plant the seed
i’m a racist
i’m a racist
power, money, wealth, greed
divide and conquer, plant the seed
i’m a racist
i’m a racist

[verse: l-fresh the lion (screwed vocals)]
(power) i got the world inside my hands
a system, i’m the centre, created to over stand
(money) global affairs, it’s only fair
i’m the judge, jury and executioner of this land
(wealth) acc-mulate, acc-mulate, acc-mulate
hah, you better cough it up ’cause i move with super weight
(greed) i gotta have it, i’m a take it, force of habit
destroy nations across the atlas, cause displacement, wreaking havoc
(divide) i size ’em up, regions i divide ’em up
make ’em need what i have got but kick them if they climbing up
(conquer) this the tactic, find some people call ’em backwards
their whole culture is too savage, so i take control and manage
(plant the seed) make ’em do my bidding, some will think that they are winning
but they’re written out of history books right from the beginning
(i’m a racist) all praise the power, for the good, there’s nothing greater
and if you don’t -ssimilate then you must be a traitor
(i’m a racist)

[part 2: our world]

[verse 1]
we are not alone in this world of ours
a suitable sight to behold, i call it home
where dreams are seeds planted, nourished by love and understanding
so a beautiful reality’s grown
minds gets blown wide open when they travel the globe
here’s hoping there’s a round ticket for the average soul
to come to understand, the many ways of life for man
and that it’s by pure luck we get to call a country our own
but some have their roots so uprooted they have to leave it
even if their hearts aren’t in agreement
but the goals to survive working overtime during holiday seasons
you see, my parents were too busy for grieving
if only you could see them…
what they give back to the land that feeds them
sown with their own hands: opportunities for their children to exercise their freedom
realise our potential and strive for great achievements
to be grateful, i don’t need a reason
born in south west sydney, i’m thankful to be breathing
a son of two migrants who arrived as strange visitors
in a foreign land and became willing partic-p-nts
their culture kept them strong while people dissed their differences
celebrating vaisakhi while treating us to christmases
now our smiles are on display as framed images
hanging above the desk where i write this as a lyricist
this is our world

[chorus]
it cannot be taken from me
it cannot be taken from me (this is our world)
it cannot be taken from me
it cannot be taken from me (this is our world)
it cannot be taken from me
it cannot be taken from me, ’cause basically
this is our world
this is our world

[verse 2]
ignorance breeds fear so i’ve been told
and fear makes your heart go cold
but there’s countless stories that go untold
which make me realise that there’s so much in this world i’ll never know
sh-t, in this world i’ll never know
there’s so much in this world i’ll never know
so i take a look around, soak it in and double down
there’s much complexity involved why do we dumb it down?
i get up early morning, yawning as i awake
resisting divisions that make my mental break
fantasising ’bout a world where equality is realised
and there’s equity for those who’s motherlands are colonised
history repeats so lion don’t you sleep
your future’s been predicted in a tirade of tweets
tryna succeed in a system not designed for me
the proof’s in the every day if you decipher what you see
some lives are valued more and others are valued less
there’s rich and white on one end, on the other’s indigenous
tell me that ain’t some wickedness
nothing will change if we stay focused on our own lanes and self-interests
i don’t do politics so i can’t spin it less
living in a divided world tryna be division-less
shouting at deaf ears in a nation of indifference
surrounded by man-made walls, we’re all prisoners
trapped in a cycle of comments sections and statuses
void of any comp-ssion, facts or -n-lysis
tryna gather up the energy to make it through the savageness
this a one way train, i smile and wave at the p-ssengers
surely there’s another way, another path
i was taught love always wins ’cause hate can never last
and a story can soften even the hardest of hearts
if that’s the case, maybe victory’s within our grasp
this is our world

[chorus]
it cannot be taken from me
it cannot be taken from me (hey, this is our world)
it cannot be taken from me (yeah)
it cannot be taken from me (so this is our world)
it cannot be taken from me
it cannot be taken from me, ’cause basically
this is our world, yeah
this is our world
