[FAUXE]

Who said that I must fear what’s inside?

My whole life, my people, they try to divide

If we knew our stories, then we will not hide

We bask in our glory, my heart’s open wide

It’s a narrative gaslighted, sedative so sweet

But ma sticked me in Styx sinking in my whole feet

They build the pipelines from the schools to the prisons

To the wombs tying tubes, ever heard of the HOPE scheme?

A circus pipe dream -

That aid isn’t given out likе Turkish ice cream

And I bet thеy intercepted and read those letters in Syed’s trail

Wait shhh! Trigger happy cafe shop owners got the cops on speed dial!

All you see is crime in the city

The rich plunders the poor shamelessly

Haven’t they filled up on greed?

I’m not fat just fed up with a system that

Minoritized us we ain’t minorities

I wrote this song in dedication to the day

I couldn't hit the $20 minimum at the ATM

When I tried put flowers on my uncle’s grave

I’ve seen the worst days

It’s those who have the least who give most to mutual aid

The inertia to change is manufactured like the taste of Nasi Lemak burgers

That we are allowed to line up for and

That's not a public assembly

Unless it's vigil for a state sponsored assassination;

And the gallows the only place we get representation and

No I didn’t learn this at SINDA STEP tuition

This an education from being systemically profiled

I vowed never to make their assimilation worthwhile

Baby don’t worry

If maybe I fall

Down but I’ll be coming back

And baby don’t worry

If maybe I fall

Kacang tak lupa kan kulit

Takkan bahasa yang indah akan hilang

Hati tetap rasa sulit

Sentiasa mencari budaya aku yang tenang

Nusantarya warrior soul

How many secrets can you keep can your past withhold?

How many regions you amassed to now be told

The ancestry of a man who’s casket closed

Planned obsolescence of this mans adolescence

Brand’s chicken essence, Anti-depressants

Magazine’s tell our stories then say no browsing

That make no sense like spending half a mill on public housing

These are our stories

We cannot run

Half a mill on public housing?

I never thought I’d be alive to see 25, everything monetised
