Hoodlum

[Intro]
Tryna label me a hoodlum
Tryna say I got no good blood in my veins (What they know about me?)
(What they know about me?)
I'mma say I'm a good man (I'm a good [?])
My melanin got you feeling some kind of way
I guess my colour and my lingo equivalent to a pistol (Blap)

[Verse 1]
Yeah, can't even shop at the mall (No, no, no, no)
Stigma's got my people not shopping at all
We start emerging then emergency call
The feds suppress, "What's the urgency for?"
Shopping centres we cannot enter (Nah, nah, nah)
An open letter for society's sake
Innocent people that society rape
If it's required then they hiding the tape
Roles reversed, ain't waste time, they providing the name
It's a god-damn shame
Treated like aliens, people and power equal fake alias
Justice system is failing us [?] Australia
The news done got us screwed
They feed you lies, you call it truth
I win, you lose
No need for proof
At three percent of Australia, what's the ultimate failure?
Everything I said is exactly what they gon' say to ya
I told you the truth hurts
Guess my colour and my lingo equivalent to a pistol (Blap)

[Chorus]
Tryna label me a hoodlum (Hoodlum)
Tryna say I got no good blood in my veins
I see my fair share of unfair, look at what you done here (Oh yeah-yeah)
I'mma say I'm a good man (Good man)
My melanin got you feeling some kind of way (My melanin, my melanin)
I guess my colour and my lingo equivalent to a pistol (Blap)

[Verse 2]
Run, run for cover (Run)
This is Australia, no Don, no Glover
They won't play this on the radio
I play this every single day just to let my neighbours know that we won't go
Down without a fight
A simple act of human rights
[?] mother told me not to harm another human sacrifice
I'm pro-black, not anti-white
[?] my nana, white woman, tuck me in at night
Ya heard we went from owners to slaves
They took our children away
They said, "Sorry" but they still taking children
[?] they swept it under the mat, expect us not to react
When we react, media says, "Attack of the blacks"
At three percent of Australia, what's the ultimate failure? (What the failure?)
Everything I said is exactly what they gon' say to ya (What you say?)
I told you the truth hurts
Guess my colour and my lingo equivalent to a pistol (Line 'em up, blap)

[Chorus]
Tryna label me a hoodlum (Hoodlum)
Tryna say I got no good blood in my veins (Tryna say I got no good blood)
I see my fair share of unfair, look at what you done here
I'mma say I'm a good man (Good man)
My melanin got you feeling some kind of way (Line 'em up)
I guess my colour and my lingo equivalent to a pistol (Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa)

[Post-Chorus]
Tryna label me a hoodlum (Hoodlum)
Tryna say I got no good blood in my veins (Tryna say I got no good blood)
I see my fair share of unfair, look at what you done here
I'mma say I'm a good man (Good man)
My melanin got you feeling some kind of way (My melanin, my melanin)
I guess my colour and my lingo equivalent to a pistol

[Outro]
It's a god-damn shame (Shame, shame)
God-damn shame
God-damn shame
It's a god-damn shame
I see my fair share of unfair, look at what you done here
Look at what you done
Look at what you done
It's a god-damn shame
I see my fair share of unfair, look at what you done here
