Troy Kingi - Colour of My Skin lyrics
[Troy Kingi - Colour of My Skin lyrics]
Colour of my skin colour of my skin
The footings of your house sit
Upon a stolen wealth
Survived so long on tall tales passed down
The history books always overlooked the
Freedoms that you took
One people pushed out to make
Way for holy things
Another brought in to take
Care of future kings
One day your empire will come
Sinking into the sand
'Cos you’re not for the land
It’s all about equity in the hand
When the final fish is caught and
All the rivers are gone
When the sky is beaten you’ll finally
See that money can’t be eatеn
I know my ancestors were
Takеn from other lands
Fought endlessly for equality
Yet I’m still judged by the colour of my skin
What’s more important the people or the flag?
Go off and go burn your Nikes
There’s some super dark stuff that
Nobody wanna talk about
As long as I got my 2nd amendment
People killed while others watch
From golden clouds
Ain’t ask for nothing but a chance
To make their mama proud
We are statistics now just numbers
In a native crowd
I fight the greed so those who
Went before can get some peace
When the final fish is caught and
All the rivers are gone
When the sky is beaten you’ll finally
See that money can’t be eatеn
I know my ancestors were
Takеn from other lands
Fought endlessly for equality
Yet I’m still judged by the colour of my skin
When the final fish is caught and
All the rivers are gone
When the sky is beaten you’ll finally
See that money can’t be eaten
I know my ancestors were
Taken from other lands
Fought endlessly for equality
Yet I’m still judged by the colour of my skin
Stand Up come on and raise 'em up
Gotta be more common sense
Then a nuclear defense
It's power to the people
'Cos we were all made equal
The few at the top
Yes, we have to chop them off
You got to use your voice
Shout scream come make some noise
We see the rich get richer
But we get clearer picture
We are the majority so here’s some clarity
United we are powerful
No monster could ever overthrow
When the final fish is caught and
All the rivers are gone
When the sky is beaten you’ll finally
See that money can’t be eatеn
I know my ancestors were
Takеn from other lands
Fought endlessly for equality
Yet I’m still judged by the colour of my skin
When the final fish is caught and
All the rivers are gone
When the sky is beaten you'll finally
See that money can't be eaten
I know my ancestors were
Taken from other lands
Fought endlessly for equality
Yet I'm still judged by the colour
The footings of your house sit
Upon a stolen wealth
Survived so long on tall tales passed down
The history books always overlooked the

One day your empire will come

When the sky is beaten you’ll finally
