Unlock the System

I just wanna know, what is peace?

Can someone educate us all?

Because all that it seems

Is that no one even knows what it means

I mean, I could be wrong

But society is telling me that freedom isn't actually free

I hate to say it, but it's hard being black in these streets

And when we tell 'em, they don't want to believe

'Cause we're locked up in a system that we can't even see

Well, I guess my last song went right over your heads

'Cause I was sending out a message but the message wasn't read

Reconciliation is what we all got to spread

So what more needs to be said for this to get in your head

It's like

If your white, you're right

But if you're black in this country, it's an everyday fight

But, for real, I just wanna know why

It's like the system that we're in is going back into time

I'm sick and tired of the pain going on in the streets

We're trying to make a change but they won't let us speak

There's innocent black people who were murdered by police

And no one's giving a, well, that's the way it all seems

That there's a whole lot of things that were never discussed

The media never reveals what happens to us

But when a wombat was killed, man, they made it a fuss

But let a cop shoot a brother, they never did lock him up

How would you feel if you had a stereotype?

How would you feel if the police pulled you up at night?

How would you feel being judged in your everyday life?

How would you feel, nah, stuff that

How would you feel if a cop ran straight through your house

And shot your son in the head and left him dying by the couch

Dragged his body outside as he was crying out loud

And left your family tortured as they all surrounded?

Now, I just want to see a change

We protest in our country to stop all the pain

But negativity still comes our way

We need to unlock the system 'cause right now it's not safe

But I really do take in hand

There's a lot of white mob on this land that do as much as they can

To give back, and yes, I understand

That's why I love my white folks 'cause they do give a damn

Now listen, we need to look out for each other

But even better, we spread love for one another

'Cause there be some days, on my mind I really wonder

How we're going to make a change for the way they see our colour

'Cause some nights I can't sleep

I just want to make it so us indigenous people can eat

So I preach, like, every day of the week

So, hopefully, sometime we can live our life in peace

And that's real

So I preach, like, every day of the week

So, hopefully, sometime we can live our life in peace

Say

And that's real

And that's real

So I preach, like, every day of the week

So, hopefully, sometime we can live our life in peace
