Blood quantum

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Hayatheus] They couldn't hold me down With a hundred thousand pounds I needed more in life than just housing some nouns I've been exploring why The clouds brought food that drowns The better we do, the faster we die I felt the news, felt like a knife Once again, they hating Jews, but being up against It always been my kind of life Couldn't place the faith, so they simplified Real familiar, minorities being minimized I found a special type of freedom Indigenous knowledge So much shit I couldn't see in the business Of chasing civilization Turns out I had stumbled upon Decolonization I am whitewashed half myself I demystified my other white self I feel proud to be alive, and I'm newly arrived Nurturing a duly studious mind We absolutely alike, but it's a dubious light They push you rudely aside, assert you pseudo-mankind Racist, judo flips, fine bases, crude lips lying [Chorus: Hayatheus and YVHIKV, Both] You can deny me entry, but not my ancestry You can deny me entry, but not my ancestry You're kinda, am I right? Yeah yeah You're kinda, am I right? That's something you can not deny [Verse 2: YVHIKV] Once we were held up, but that arm's length takes Strange shape Shifting between what we need and sovereignty I mean, can we decide our own fate? Not just by faith, but by fact It's the jati, what is my blood? When it's spilled, count to reach half Count so you keep track Quantum justify, the last of the line Never mind the culture, she lives and grows Depending on how you sculpt it Learn discrimination by product assimilations I connect past and present, strong for one named Different nations But we erase them, just a few generations It's been made to collapse, this place for shame But when the lines build back, we all could begin All of a clan, sculpting within, we're tied to the land This land of survival, must survive another trial So trials ownership can provide no place to exist For me or my child Or the child's child's child Why when people find connection They cry foul, foul, foul Original means nothing, when it turn into legend Need someone to remember, so tell me this was destined And see why I feel lesser [Refrain: Hayatheus and YVHIKV, Both] You can deny me entry, but not my ancestry No where to go, no where to go You can deny me entry, but not my ancestry No where to go, no where to go Humankind, I am I Yeah, yeah That's something that you cannot deny You can deny me entry, but not my ancestry You can deny me entry, but not my ancestry Humankind, I am I That's something that you cannot deny Humankind, I am I Humankind, I am I Humankind, I am I Humankind, I am I Kind, I am I
