[00:21.187] |
Certain things make me stop for a minute |
[00:23.735] |
And thank my lucky stars that I got inderpendance |
[00:26.551] |
Where I walk, what I talk what I drop in each sentence |
[00:29.075] |
Never been did like david hicks and got locked without sentence |
[00:31.650] |
And thank god in remembrance, all them lives that were ended |
[00:34.177] |
We got freedom, so many died to defend this |
[00:36.858] |
Pops is no killer but had to put a knife to appendix |
[00:39.368] |
And our forefathers tails, bare a striking resemblance |
[00:42.198] |
So when I try to refresh this, put it right in perspective |
[00:44.733] |
Hearing their stories, have enlightened my senses |
[00:47.393] |
And enabled me to cherish every waking moment |
[00:49.876] |
We in that lucky country where your brains your main opponent |
[00:52.557] |
I made that focus outward cause to cope in our hood |
[00:55.237] |
Is easier than impoverished lands that go without food |
[00:57.785] |
On the reg(regular) we celebrating |
[00:59.433] |
It's a credit to this nation, just complaining for house prices |
[01:02.140] |
Petrol, inflation. |
[01:03.568] |
|
[01:08.136] |
This nation |
[01:13.372] |
We raised in |
[01:16.117] |
How to speak |
[01:18.642] |
Speak your mind |
[01:20.055] |
Celebrate |
[01:21.290] |
We ain't raised in |
[01:22.772] |
A place we're survival is the prize |
[01:24.291] |
|
[01:24.849] |
The grass is always greener, yeah that sounds about right |
[01:27.304] |
Unless the fence that you describe is topped with razerwire |
[01:30.180] |
You fight for the sake of it, or ninety nine percent |
[01:32.503] |
Just trying to make a shake of it |
[01:33.976] |
And yo you must be mistaking if you |
[01:35.444] |
Can't see your stake in it is greater than the vast majority |
[01:38.227] |
And you can stand there growling at authority |
[01:40.559] |
Cause we still got a democracy, and what that means |
[01:42.916] |
Is you can say what you feel |
[01:44.411] |
And they can't put you under lock and key |
[01:46.114] |
So many disappeared, so many lived in fear |
[01:48.370] |
But you know that here man, your brains the opponent |
[01:50.881] |
So many blown opertunities in the land of plenty |
[01:53.359] |
So many cats that let there souls run on empty it gets tempting |
[01:56.710] |
To let it all slide, make fate the fall guy |
[01:58.805] |
And join the could have been's, should have been's or would have beens |
[02:01.513] |
In the backstreets of broken dreams and if it feels hopeless |
[02:04.455] |
Man, drop that wish list and refocus |
[02:06.388] |
|
[02:11.372] |
This nation |
[02:16.254] |
We raised in |
[02:19.231] |
How to speak |
[02:21.824] |
Speak your mind |
[02:23.005] |
Celebrate |
[02:24.589] |
We ain't raised in |
[02:26.040] |
A place we're survival is the prize |
[02:27.307] |
|
[02:27.983] |
Got pride in my birthplace but shame also resides |
[02:30.466] |
Many roads here paved with betrayal and genocide. |
[02:32.929] |
Dad made his way here, he was craving a better life |
[02:35.421] |
Didn't want another air raid waking him in the night |
[02:38.116] |
But things changed right, Its all a little stricter |
[02:40.628] |
Policies mixed with the riddles of a mini hitler |
[02:43.156] |
Our diggers stay allied it really is the bigger picture |
[02:45.816] |
Over lies they die its really so the rich are richer |
[02:48.611] |
That shit'll twist ya, but still im a patriot |
[02:50.997] |
I pay for taxes, these multinationals don't pay for shit |
[02:53.938] |
The earths tombstone, they engraving it |
[02:56.478] |
We used to swim in these rivers now we afraid to fish |
[02:59.102] |
Not a doomsayer but still we got to brace for this |
[03:01.911] |
Make a switch or modern life, could be an ancient myth |
[03:04.612] |
Take a trip and witness that beauty outside |
[03:07.167] |
This place is tatted on my heart, enough proof of my pride |
[03:09.624] |
|
[03:14.580] |
This nation |
[03:19.582] |
We raised in |
[03:22.738] |
