JCAL - White Lies lyrics

[Produced by JCAL and Palace] [Verse 1] Young k**er, iller than your average figure Read between my lines, white lies, middle finger Rap singer, never been a drug slinger My culture land ya in the zoo like Ben Stiller Stereotypes, man, I heard them all k**ing 'em, I'm k**ing 'em, I'm watchin' them fall All of y'all can s** my balls through draws Pause, I ain't never been like that I articulate my ideas through fat facts In fact, scratch the fact that I'm black, I'm back to basics Face it, I know you think I'm tasteless Stick my balls in your mouth, tell me how it's tastin' Argh, your type of angry black The f** you got to be angry at? Not the loss of lives, not the genocide? I just think it's f**ed you still believe in these white lies Tell me who the f** are you? Got the nerve vote King Kunta number 2? We know it word for word, yeah, Australia love Kendrick But when I talk about the same sh** you get defensive? We ain't racist, we're so acceptin' Till our blackness in your face, make you feel threatened Got you second guessin', which begs the question Is it ignorance or blind eyes to oppression? [Hook] White lies, white lies, white lies Real eyes realise real lies Black lives, lost lives, yellow lines Traced around where the black body lies Why lie? White lies k** minds Blacked out, white facts got you blind It's time, it's time For black truths to replace white lies [Verse 2] Step into our shoes, glance through our eyes Black is beautiful, don't believe otherwise Otherwise white lies will poison your mind I got bigger things to rap about than getting dollar signs Bigger dicks to rap about than my own centimetres Bolt, Jones, Howard, Abbott, a dick for each season The knowledge that you push, what you're trying to preach Andrew, with luck, you'd get struck by Bolt, that's my freedom of speech History that we teach has been bleached Whitewashed, rape slaves all forgot That's enough, we need to stop, we need to stop And we still hate cops, yeah, we still hate cops They want us to be Rice Bubbles but we Coco Pops Want to tear down our trees for parkin' lots We tired to d**h, we on our last breath But every journey starts with a single step And yes, we could never forget The debt they hung around our ancestor's neck The culture that they forced to forget Is coming back stronger again Uh, let's not even pretend Uh, yeah, where do we even begin? The strength in our blood is embedded within The strength in our will to survive got us living this life Where can achieve anything that we like Yeah, and I've been thinking a lot About what we forgot and what we still got Joining dot to dot but trying to tie the perfect knot To hold all my thoughts in a single spot Demanding the answers that ain't been handed What's been laid down for me will never be taken for granted Granted, we have have to play by their antics But look and learn your history, try to understand it The seeds for this change has already been planted It's not accident, our people planned it We found a way when we didn't have a choice Took away language, never take away our voice, uh Labeled a dyin' race, removed us without a trace Hate and discriminate, forced to a**imilate But we gon' be alright, open up your eyes Time to black out all these white lies [Sample: John Barton and Lang Hanco*k] I wonder if you'd believe this as a solution to the "Aboriginal problem"? Herd the worst of the Aborigines into one area, then put a chemical in their water that sent them sterile. In time, there'd be none of them left. Well, that solution has been put forward by none other than one of the premier's closest friends, West Australian mining magnate, Lang Hanco*k... Those that have been a**imilated into, you know, earning good living or earning wages amongst the civilised areas, that have been accepted into society, and they have accepted society and can handle society, I'd leave them well alone. The ones that are no good to themselves and can't accept things, the half-caste (and this is wear most of the trouble comes), I would dope the water up so that they were sterile and would breed themselves out in future, and that would solve the problem...
