Текст песни LONO (feat. TRIBETheArtist & Chantal Stormsong Chagnon) - K the Chosen

They say that I can't
I say that I can
Locals only?
Now that ain't my plan
But they say

Locals only
Locals only
We don't want you round here (hell nah)
We don't want you round here
Locals only
Locals only
We don't want you round here (hell nah)
We don't want you round here
Locals only
Locals only
We don't want you round here (hell nah)
We don't want you round here
Locals only
Locals only
We don't want you round here (hell nah)
We don't want you around

Picture a playground
Little kids they just wanna play now
Cos they mamas are working for pay now
What you say now, what you say now, what you (uh)
First on the playground
Bell rings, big kids they come round
They decide that this land is theirs now
So defenseless, lil kids get pushed out
They take your resources, they breaking seesaws and
They left you the sandpit cos that pit was boring
And then they uncover the rocks that were hidden
All of sudden they have a new interest
They come back to your land
They got a new plan
Wanna play new game and put shovel in your hand
Big deeper and deeper, you wanna be the winner
All the lil kids begin to step over
The plot that is yours, you break out in war
Lil kids they dying, they die by the score
Big kids they seen this, they seen this before
But let it play out cos what matters more
The life of the poor?
Life of the people who were here before?
Or what we could make if we just ignore
What kinda future are we setting up for?

They say that I can't
I say that I can
Locals only?
Now that ain't my plan
They say that I can't
I say that I can
Locals only?
No that ain't my plan

Well, They say that I can't
I say that I will
I think it's bout time
We get us a meal
They holding back trillions
They took from the treaties
Then hold it in trust
But it's our money legally
Then force us to lock-in
Phenomenal rates
And who gets the interest?
The federal-state
Then short us our budgets
On purpose and place
And force us
To borrow our own money mang
And fucked up for us
We can't seem to make change
They say we get freedom
Just give up your claim
Greed is the reason
They take us away
And undercut funding
Grade 10 down to K
With No lawyers
No legal
No steak in the claim
No control of our assets
We're begging for change
Dang
And they say

Change
