dallas woods - colorblind lyrics

[verse 1]
i will not apologise for bein’ 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 dreamin’ is where my heart be
black excellence, final form in my melanin
writings on the wall, the evidence is evident
have your say, o+kkk, irrelevant
black lives matter, i really don’t think you gettin’ it
slaves to gold medalists, aria’s, grammy’s, oscar’s
lawyers, filmmakers, designers, models, and doctors
give hope to youth and put money up in your pocket
melanin is priceless, don’t let them make a profit
pigment is different, you cop it, gotta 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 everythin’ that couldn’t see
black power
[chorus]
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?
seein’ colorblind, 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?
knowin’ there’s a war goin’ on outside

[verse 2]
don’t play the devil’s advocate, i ain’t havin’ 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, mister land grabber, give us our land back
and for what? blood money, quick buck
the root of evil, there gon’ never be enough
we gon’ never see a change ’cause they never listen up
screamin’ murder at the top of my lungs, look what you done
over four hundred hundred victims, convictions: 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 f+ckin’ cell
take a life, you pay the price, put ’em in a f+ckin’ cell
they don’t practice what they preach, so there’s no love for police
if they wanna close the gap, then put them in a f+ckin’ cell
[chorus]
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?
seein’ colorblind, 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?
knowin’ there’s a war goin’ on outside

[interlude]
black lives matter

[bridge]
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

[chorus]
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?
seein’ colorblind, 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?
knowin’ there’s a war goin’ on outside
[outro]
hey, tell me can you hear me?
black lives matter
hey, tell me can you hear me?
tell me can you hear me?
justice is pendin’
black lives matter
