If I had my way I’d spend my life at home

Cuz every day I leave I remember I’m forever on my own

If you’ve never felt the need to leave a store with a receipt

It may be cuz no one made your skin synonymous with deceit

The looks I’d get from security guards as a kid left me scarred

Now clubs are making up excuses just to say that we’re barred

Makes me think have we moved that far from the past?

Cuz scars will last after stars have passed

This bizarre system of class only tarnishes our caste

At least I can make my art whilst having a blast

The pressures that you find are in your mind

Are really the pressures that you’ve heard are in your world

So what do you see when you take a proper gander

At all the propaganda around you?

You may just realize that it fully surrounds you

Billboards, billboards, build more, build more

Nowadays I can’t figure it out, what are houses for?

Must just be to make money whilst teasing the poor

The gap’s so wide between the poor and the boujee

Once saw a sympathetic rich girl give a homeless guy sushi

We may as well be standing in welfare lines, hoping we'll fare fine

Cuz let me tell you if the grass is greener then the air must be sublime

I said the air must be sublime

And I’d be lying if I said I didn’t think about this...

At least most of the time

But I’m glad that I’m sunkissed whilst you just seem to be mad that the sun missed you

I’m glad that I’m sunkissed but you just seem to be mad that the sun missed you

It’s hard half the time to blame bros that turned to crime

Feels like this system was designed so we make petty dimes

Cuz we don’t get the tools in schools, we all leave as fools

Would you play by the rules if the aim of the game was for you to lose?

Xenophobic rhetoric from some working classes

May as well be throwing bricks from their glass houses

Probably don’t know their own country’s history

Of those in power manipulating our misery

Hope I’m not the only one who feels like there’s something missing

I know people who've slept in places you wouldn’t even piss in

So many lives are on the streets that we are all just dismissing

I’m thinking back to days I didn’t have to worry reminiscing

Like...has life always been like this?

Growing up it seemed so perfect

Have things always been amiss?

Now alternative facts defile the minds of a nation

But don’t be fooled by lies posing as information

And beware of rich men in a poor man’s clothes

These culture vultures acting as if they don’t know

People keep all eyes on phones but they don’t show

The lives being destroyed, but we’re also annoyed

So we’re filling the void by just being employed

Don’t know what the future holds so we’re looking to phones

Guess you could say that we’re all paranoid androids of our own

Galaxy

Now you see why I could easily spend the rest of my life at home happily

Cuz if you looked in my mind what you’d find

Is I can’t help but notice these social paradigms

And I’d be lying if I said I didn’t think about this...

Honestly, it’s pretty much all of the time!

But I’m glad that I’m sunkissed whilst you just seem to be mad that the sun missed you

I’m glad that I’m sunkissed but you just seem to be mad that the sun missed you

Who would choose to be a victim of prejudice that’s been built?

Who would choose to live a life filled with nothing but guilt?

You shouldn’t feel have to feel ashamed no matter your shade

Glad I said hello to the cello back when I was 8

Got all the things I need and you can bet I’m gonna use it

Sitting here in my flat I’ll just be making music

Waiting patiently for the day the truth will unfurl

Racism isn’t the elephant in the room it’s the elephant in the world
