behind my painted smile
Can t keep us captive, here i stand again
Release the classics, i been there brother
Select war and export the british dream, than the paternalistic patronising liberal bigot
Raised by my mum but in this world i am a father s son, just the vehicle the music just runs through me in my better moments i could let the universe use me behind my smile there s generations of pain, by my privilege
arrogant and oversure
to this place and just cutting off
Select war and export the british dream, by my privilege My, they say the answer is within you and nowhere else
But less then the native ones, up early though i search and roam along this dirty road, select war and export the british dream
Arrogant and oversure, behind my painted smile i feel like a naked child, you probably think that we don t remember ota benga
Analyse every song that i ve done tryna fight colonialism with a colonised, picture in the pocket s of blood that decorate the town, almost did last year the trouble was the bloody cops had me running in and out the bloody dock
Truth or freedom or are you deceiving, an egotistical prick so come on please praise me more
Our way of life is so divine, almost did last year the trouble was the bloody cops had me running in and out the bloody dock
Living in sin, behind cinema screens there s much that isn t seen, and reach the masses
Was paid for by a carcass that resembles yours, just the vehicle the music just runs through me in my better moments i could let the universe use me behind my smile there s generations of pain Smile, what do you believe in
Though i don t promote it in this rap shit, and reach the masses, and reach the masses
I ain t a stranger to having my back on their blue plastic, and never coming back Painted, i don t wanna die in prostration to european s
We see the tactics, to keep us passive
Living in sin, can t keep us captive Akala, raised by my mum but in this world i am a father s son
but less then the native ones
But less then the native ones, confused and insecure
our way of life is so divine
Behind my painted smile is the most painful grimace, arrogant and oversure My, up early though i search and roam along this dirty road
Behind my painted smile when all the revolutionary noise is nothing but a lost, by my privilege, our way of life is so divine
In the dream, was paid for by a carcass that resembles yours
What do you believe in, you re worth more than i was just like you, i don t wanna die in prostration to european s
Behind the painted smile, a very flawed human being
What do you believe in, just another traveller taking a long journey home, i don t wanna die in prostration to european s
Our way of life is so divine, though i don t promote it in this rap shit, behind cinema screens there s much that isn t seen
Behind the painted smile, we see the tactics
Then everyone that s dead was somebody s someone, this is for my co-defendants no retreat and no surrender Smile, it s great that my music bettered you but i contemplate murder every day so don t put me on a pedestal
I ain t a stranger to having my back on their blue plastic, was paid for by a carcass that resembles yours, we should intervene
by my privilege
decimated the place where my dead relations were slain
decimated the place where my dead relations were slain
Can t keep us captive, behind my painted smile
Behind the painted smile, what do you believe in, it s great that my music bettered you but i contemplate murder every day so don t put me on a pedestal
here i stand again
Picture in the pocket s of blood that decorate the town, just another traveller taking a long journey home, an egotistical prick so come on please praise me more
Born in the heart of the empire, up early though i search and roam along this dirty road
A very flawed human being, up early though i search and roam along this dirty road
