THE DIVIDE LYRICS
"There's violence in the streets silent when we speak
Climbing peak, only as high as the white’ll let us reach
Fighting with the east cause of the difference between
Upper class and lower class and community’s in need
“So let me tell you what you don’t know
It’s separation like MONO
Divided by a system built by the those that showed no
Remorse for the owners of this land in 1 6 0 0
Cause us warriors will bolt for you if you try to move quick
We weren’t always violent, But the truth is
You hold a man against a wall long enough he’ll move with
Spite under pressure like you were the excuses
Living In the shadows of history,
Living in the projects, what do they think of me
Living in 1700 paintings O’ what imagery
Trains through my land on a killing spree
“Say, Say when you pray
Say, say my name
Cause the divide is about to face
A repercussion and reset the world stage”
Say, Say when you pray
Say, say my name
Cause the divide is about to face
A repercussion and reset the world stage” - (say say bars with radio sound effect)
It’s like, why don't I ask for a hall pass?
Cause my family already dealt with all that
Catering to a man in a desk with a top hat
So when you try to say “well it ain't’ all bad”
go to 20th, go to 19th to see the biz’
Your people have done to mine and see if it’s mint
I reckon you’re scared to face it, so if i need to hint
Let me describe the oppression we livin in’
living without a roof, no food and facing minus 32
Survival by the game that will put you in a noose
Cause the way these chokeholds do, how are we to make a move
If forward, backwards, side to side will wind up in doom
It’s the labels, fables and broken promised tables
We negotiate with a ghost that feeds us by a ladle
Cause they document and choke us with cables
And our oppression thru generations is age old.
So,
“Say, Say when you pray
Say, say my name
Cause the divide is about to face
A repercussion and reset the world stage”
Say, Say when you pray
Say, say my name
Cause the divide is about to face
A repercussion and reset the world stage” - (say say bars with radio sound effect).
Poverty and substance bitter pills to swallow,
Our Culture erased, tipi’s left hollow.
One day you got a home, but you dont tomorrow
And they tell us, it’s just land that’s borrowed
Modern struggles, still face the storm,
But Indigenous youth, inners souls are torn
Cause we know we were deserving of more
But we’re still followed in stores"
