Lyrics
Trapped inside a system that wants to lock you in a cage
Born into crime and poverty, numbered are your days
The system doesn't want you here, saying you're the ones to blame
Push the people into the dirt, and you claim we're all the same
A loaded crown (loaded crown) just to weigh us down
Prison cell agenda keeps us bound
Culture for profit and deaf to the sound (deaf to the sound)
A loaded crown just to weigh us down
He tikanga ture I hangaia kia taka mai ai tātou
Tūkinotia mai te mahi Kuinitanga
Ka taea te whakaora mamae I tuku iho mai?
Whakahokia te mana o ngā iwi o Aotearoa
A loaded crown (loaded crown) just to weigh us down
Prison cell agenda keeps us bound
Culture for profit and deaf to the sound (deaf to the sound)
A loaded crown just to weigh us down
An institution built to fail
Staying hidden beyond the veil
Taikaha, tarukino
Tāhae, whakaherehere
Taikaha, tarukino
Tāhae, whakaherehere
I'll return to where I belong
Restore my roots and undo the wrong
Fight the tides of an imbalanced law
Can't wash away the mana in us all!
A loaded crown (loaded crown) just to weigh us down
Prison cell agenda keeps us bound
Culture for profit and deaf to the sound (deaf to the sound)
A loaded crown just to weigh us down
You can't weigh us down!
