lirik lagu nitv - change the date

[intro: urthboy]
really?
tryna tell me we ain’t going to budge ’cause it’s hurting our feelings?
we don’t want to think about a couple hundred years of k!lling?
drive it like we stole it, never give an inch, f-ck, are we kidding?
that ain’t wentworth falls that is just them white tears spilling, what side are you sitting?

[verse 1: nooky]
this might fall on deaf ears because we’re accustomed to it
another death here, in custody, nothing to it
but it’s murder, come on now, let’s tell the truth
go and have a look at what they did to miss dhu
we said in oh-twelve that a change is gonna come
five years later, i think it’s f-ckin’ overdue
tell ya what i’ma do, i’ma steal the endeavor
give ’em armageddon and i’ma tell ’em “get over it”
(hoo!) now who lining up for them benefits?
my people died, now who benefit? i might burn a flag for the h-ll of it
i’ve been through h-ll and back, i’m in my element
talk about anzacs but ignore what’s relevant
push out the blacks, leave ’em all in the deficit
i’m tryna live but there’s to much death in it

[verse 2: tasman keith]
murder murder, murder they drew
black blood, white page and they’re burnin’ for who
never converted so my verses always versing with you
mission fill the prison livin’ with the blackest of views, ah
on janaree two-six
i’m pullin’ up with the emb-ssy on my seventy-two sh-t
my summary could book some
whole mob deep change, what son it’s all a shook one
all they took from, all the crooks run
captain cook dead, who i am, mistook one
i am the dry land and the lap lap
demand the man to stand face to black facts
fade to black tracks, make the whack lack
days celebratin’ for a nation with outback
sick of f-ckin’ waitin’ for reparation, we pacin’
invasion and stolen children keep a country so complacent

[bridge: jeswon]
some say what’s in a date?
some say what’s in a name?
australia day, invasion day
homie that’s one and the same
and i ain’t pointing no fingers
i ain’t throwing no blame
just saying that we can do better
you know that it’s time for a change

[verse 3: kaylah truth]
annual – black family at the march
while my white fam celebrate on the charge
got the j’s on the tunes, holiday’s an excuse
barbecuin’ and booze, patriots comin’ through
do i start the convo? or will it k!ll the mood?
the flag and the date, who does it include?
seperatin’ us like a hogwarts hat
we need action not magic! signed, serious black

[verse 4: l-fresh the lion]
it started on the twenty-sixth
see we all a bunch of immigrants
but if you african, arab, asian or indian
they say you gotta join the party to be citizen
and carry the legacy of invasion
huh, man, i ain’t celebrating
there no justification or persuasion
other than, understand the date needs changing

[verse 5: sally]
so we say we think forward but we choose to back
the dudes reppin’ king george and the union jack
we’re so used to distorting the truth from fact
and beginning our story with a blue flag
if you put a few snags and a goon sack in ’em
then everybody loves their opinion
but when your brothers and sisters sayin’ something’s amiss
it’s no ifs, no buts, just listen

[break: ozi batla]
why not break in to your neighbour’s house
and wait on his couch
and make a cup of tea
and watch some tele while he’s out
and see how that goes down
see how that goes down

[verse 6: tuka]
kiss the scars of our black histories past
words to warriors, bless their resistant hearts
jan twenty-six, white man missed his mark, check it
i am not fan of it  in fact
i will not stand for this ’cause on this day
one love got ripped apart
dismantled then put on display

[verse 7: birdz]
they love it when i talk about my pain
hate it when a brother see change
change the date, i’d rather change the game
’cause ain’t sh-t changed since the day they came
black lives turn to black matter
clap sticks clap to the rhythm of a c-cked back hammer, clap bang
here go another officer
locking up another one of us like a popular fun thing to do
another genocide on the barbecue
they say that their party is a far cry from apartheid
but they still find it hard to divide the two
and i’m an a.b. original baby
wave that flaggy, yay-yea
now eat that sh-t and pay me
lest we forget invasion

[verse 8: erica]
i remember when i was a young kid, learned how to read and write
i learned history and long division
but it took a long time ‘fore i figured out
that we got a history of long division
and listen, i didn’t know then ’cause they didn’t teach me
if i don’t know now, you know who’s to blame
there isn’t a reason to keep on like this
stand up, choose a new date

[outro: hau]
you can try tell me ’bout everything, everything that you’ve thought up
’bout not changing dates, but if anything you are coming up shorter
i know this will come at a price-uh, but it’s only a small sacrifice-uh
as soon as the others open their hearts and open their eyes we will rise up!
