A Broken Silence

This Nation

VERSE 1

Certain things make me stop for a minute

And thank my lucky stars that I got inderpendance

Where I walk, what i talk what I drop in each sentence

Never been did like david hicks and got locked without sentence

And thank god in remembrance, all them lives that were ended

We got freedom, so many died to defend this

Pops is no killer but had to put a knife to appendix

And our forefathers tails, bare a striking resemblance

So when i try to refresh this, put it right in perspective

Hearing their stories, have enlightened my senses

And enabled me to cherish every waking moment

We in that lucky country where your brains your main opponent

I made that focus outward cause to cope in our hood

Is easier than impoverished lands that go without food

On the reg(regular) we celebrating

It's a credit to this nation, just complaining for house prices

Petrol, inflation.

CHORUS

This nation

We raised in

How to speak

Speak your mind

Celebrate

We ain't raised in

A place we’re survival is the prize

VERSE 2

The grass is always greener, yeah that sounds about right

Unless the fence that you describe is topped with razerwire

You fight for the sake of it, or ninety nine percent

Just trying to make a shake of it

And yo you must be mistaking if you

Cant see your stake in it is greater than the vast majority

And you can stand there growling at authority

Cause we still got a democracy, and what that means

is you can say what you feel

and they can’t put you under lock and key

so many disappeared , so many lived in fear

but you know that here man, your brains the opponent

so many blown opertunities in the land of plenty

so many cats that let there souls run on empty it gets tempting

to let it all slide, make fate the fall guy

and join the could have been’s, should have been’s or would have beens

in the backstreets of broken dreams and if it feels hopeless

man, drop that wish list and refocus

CHORUS

This nation

We raised in

How to speak

Speak your mind

Celebrate

We ain't raised in

A place we’re survival is the prize

VERSE 3

Got pride in my birthplace but shame also resides

many roads here paved with betrayal and genocide.

Dad made his way here, he was craving a better life

Didn’t want another air raid waking him in the night

But things changed right, Its all a little stricter

Policies mixed with the riddles of a mini hitler

Our diggers stay allied it really is the bigger picture

Over lies they die its really so the rich are richer

That shit'll twist ya, but still im a patriot

I pay for taxes, these multinationals don’t pay for shit

The earths tombstone, they engraving it

We used to swim in these rivers now we afraid to fish

Not a doomsayer but still we got to brace for this

Make a switch or modern life, could be an ancient myth

Take a trip and witness that beauty outside

This place is tatted on my heart, enough proof of my pride
