big son (jonas gott) - our people lyrics

Loading...

(chorus)
we live in a world
where everywhere you look is colour
so why does this colour
make people judge one another
we’re all different
we all come from a different place
no ones the same
in both body shape and face
this song here is
about a minority
who over time
have been given authority
so let’s stop treating our people
like their inferior
and if you’re white
it doesn’t mean your superior

(verse 1)
i’m sick of racism in our world
why can’t we just get along and gel
i understand not everyone is white
but who has the right to say that
you ain’t right
i don’t condemn violence
but now we must fight
just like my brother blue face screaming yeah aight
but don’t worry i already see the light
on our darkest days
and our darkest nights
see i’m tryna reach a new height
which our modern society
strongly dislikes
but don’t worry by the end of this
everything is gonna be alright
i’m not preaching for the fame
this isn’t fun
but i need to change the game
because you can’t keep putting
blame to name
and i have one question for you
how would you feel
if you weren’t treated the same

(chorus)
we live in a world
where everywhere you look is colour
so why does this colour
make people judge one another
we’re all different
we all come from a different place
no ones the same
in both body shape and face
this song here is
about a minority
who over time
have been given authority
so let’s stop treating our people
like their inferior
and if you’re white
it doesn’t mean your superior

(verse 2)
you see i’m taking bout our indigenous
who are getting treated a little different
i know there skins a little darker
unlike marvel heroes, peter parker
all my cousins are getting locked up in jail
we don’t live in the states
we can’t pay for bail
they don’t make it through school
it ain’t no fairytale
but people have the nerve to say
they’ve failed
not just in school but in life
so all you racists go k!ll yourselves
with a knife
i’m sorry for sounding so dark
but what i’m saying
needs to leave a mark
if you haven’t realised
they’ll stop being dangerous
once we stop treating them
like they are dangerous
why can’t we just love instead of hate
so then one day everything will be great

(chorus)
we live in a world
where everywhere you look is colour
so why does this colour
make people judge one another
we’re all different
we all come from a different place
no ones the same
in both body shape and face
this song here is
about a minority
who over time
have been given authority
so let’s stop treating our people
like their inferior
and if you’re white
it doesn’t mean your superior

(verse 3)
take a look at my uncle nicky winmar
an afl legend and an all star
pulled up his jersey
showed his skin was black
white faces looking at him
like he’s whack
it’s not just that
let’s look back
in the history books
filled with facts
1967 finally put on the map
not a world map
but a map of rights
in a society
dominated by whites
our first people knew
it was the time to fight

(chorus)
we live in a world
where everywhere you look is colour
so why does this colour
make people judge one another
we’re all different
we all come from a different place
no ones the same
in both body shape and face
this song here is
about a minority
who over time
have been given authority
so let’s stop treating our people
like their inferior
and if you’re white
it doesn’t mean your superior

(verse 4)
you see they’re getting told
to go back to the zoo
with every other monkey
ape and baboon
and they cop this stuff
on a regular basis
and i’m here for them
because i’m not a racist
what i’m sayings
on a whole nother level
i feel like our world is run by the devil
i hope one day our
playing field will be level
our traditional custodians
deserve a medal
