Текст песни Aphelion - Mr Gee , Fold

So where's our hope meant to come from?
Because we're lost if we place our hope in you
We're lost if we sit around and wait for you to change
Your system, your world, your mind, your rage
Hoping that one day we'll be seen as
Human

And where's our justice meant to arrive from?
If this world is soaked in White supremacy
Saturating its ancient laws
Submerging all, like an infernal stream of thought
Forever flowing through time

Drowning us at birth
Seeping into our graves
Placing tender droplets upon our foreheads
Baptising our shame
Because our freedom
Our freedom was once a crime
Our freedom was once denied
Our freedom was once despised

And you can't seem to abolish that very thought
From within your mind
No matter how hard you try
You fear the equality of truth
Will burst your riverbanks by changing its tides
Are we so difficult to love?
So easy to hate?
Is it commonplace to devalue our lives?
Under the pretence that we devalue your space?

All ghettos are man-made
Orchestrated with a smile
All racism is mapped
We just navigate its sick design

So spare me your liberal cries
Or carefully painted protest signs
Because I know that today's ally so woke
Can float with tomorrow's white flight
It's just a matter of time
As we all sink into this difficult history
400+ years underwater and I'm still struggling to breathe

So what happens to a dream deferred?
Does it now explode into nothingness
Without a question, without a word
Without a thought or the idea
That it will ever be heard?

A well meaning gesture
Drenched by the pressure of
Your system, your mind
Your rage, your world
Hoping and praying that one day
We'll be seen as
Human

My position is that
We have a great deal to be angry about
Furious about, you know
They're still lynching negroes in America
And I feel as our African friends do
That we need all ideologies which point toward
The total liberation of the African peoples
All over the world
