White Lies

[Verse 1]

Young killer, 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

Killing 'em, I'm killing 'em, I'm watchin' them fall

All of y'all can suck 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 fuck you got to be angry at?

Not the loss of lives, not the genocide?

I just think it's fucked you still believe in these white lies

Tell me who the fuck are you?

Got the nerve to vote King Kunta number two?

We know it word for word, yeah, Australia love Kendrick

But when I talk about the same shit 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?

[Chorus]

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 kill 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 death, 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 no accident, our people planned it

We found a way when we didn't have a choice

Took away our language, never take away our voice, uh

Labeled a dyin' race, removed us without a trace

Hate and discriminate, forced to assimilate

But we gon' be alright, open up your eyes

Time to black out all these white lies (White lies, white lies)

[Outro: John Barton and Lang Hancock]

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 Hancock

Those that have been assimilated 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
