Ode to Ignorance - Remi, Sensible J

I come from the land down under, I’m Australian

I come from the land down under, I’m Australian

I come from the land down under, I’m Australian where we’ve got men at work

Sudanese to Israeli

And this has got the ignorant acting a little Hilter-ish saying that any

immigrant should be detained’ed

Cause ho we’ve got skills, man, they want us in cages

They’re scared, they see beige skin and think we’re Hussein skins

If they’re found in the ground like him, then who’s saying shit?

Rather than Saddam, Remi’s straight John Blaz’n

Leaving casualties from Canberra my birth place

To Nigeria’s sand that my Daddy was raised in

I’m fucking racist propaganda in its face lips

So Tell McGuire cram it before I go ape shit

Though I guess it’s not his bad

That mindset is old, probably got it from his dad, copy and pasted

And just reiterated what ignorant racists

Have thought since my mother’s ancestors invaded

And that’s

Fuck foreigners.

Those Africans aren’t worth shit

Fuck the origins.

Aboriginals aren’t worth shit

Fuck foreigners.

Indian, Islander, Arabic, Asian if you’re not male and

caucasian you ain’t shit

I give them something stupid raw

No condoms when I give them food for thought

Tell’em I’m extra extra

Brought the big issue with me

I’ve got a real big issue with it

Sushi, sushi raw

A la carte food for thought

Tell’em I’m extra extra

Brought the big issue with me

I’ve got a real big issue with it

My white friends say I’m overreacting

Like Japan’s power plants when earth cracked it

I tell them I wanna send tsunamis

Waves of change obviously

Need to swell in to action

So I’m starting 'em up

Turn on the TV

Nah fuck it

Turn it off

It’s time warped like Michael Fox

But it’s not back to the futures

It’s back to when blacks were in nooses

The media makes it so we look like aliens

I mean when’s the last time you saw a black guy on Neighbours and

When the newspapers

Say migrants are taking over all of us

Fear’s the drug

Our dealer’s the Herald Sun

But let’s take a back step

Even if you can ignore all of the facts then

You can’t eliminate my experience

Of being made inferior

Or my dad’s cause of his accent

I fucking hated seeing him get knocked back when

Ever he went for jobs, just because of his black skin

They said he’s over qualified

I said he’s over colour-fied

They said I pulled the race card out of the pack man

You think I wanna play that shit?

This isn’t an arcade

This isn’t a game

This shit is degrading

Can’t take that shit

I fucking hate that shit

We’ve gotta cremate it

But they keep fanning the flames with

Fuck foreigners.

Those Africans aren’t worth shit

Fuck the origins.

Aboriginals aren’t worth shit

Fuck foreigners.

Indian, Islander, Arabic, Asian if you’re not male and

caucasian you ain’t shit

I give them something stupid raw

No condoms when I give them food for thought

Tell’em I’m extra extra

Brought the big issue with me

I’ve got a real big issue with it

Sushi, sushi raw

A la carte food for thought

Tell’em I’m extra extra

Brought the big issue with me

I’ve got a real big issue with it
