Lyrics

Looking at my skin
Why do they begin
Can you tell me why
Baby I don’t break
They can’t take my light and I’ll tell you why
They can spray their gas
Into the peaceful mass
But we won’t take it, not gonna take it
Say they can call the po’
But that won’t work much more
Cuz we won’t accept what it is that they think they know
Nah we won’t accept what it is that they think they know
We won’t accept what it is that they think they know
Be bold and brave Stand up and fight
Cuz the end is in sight
Children are at stake
What can we create
Without our family
They can slam the door
On those that they call poor but I won’t take it,
not gonna take it
People callin’ CPS
Cryin’ wolf on those with less
But I won’t accept what it is that they think they know
No I won’t accept what it is that they think they know
Said I won’t accept what it that they think they know
Stolen generations
Since the plantations seeds were sown and they’re too far grown
This is systemic
And it’s endemic
The time’s come to say
That we’ll cut the root despite dispute
And it starts right now

To raise our kids up strong
Let them know that they belong
We need education
a strong foundation
Historically declined
Jobs, houses, clean environs
We gotta change it, we gonna change it
Cuz we won’t accept what it is that they think they know
Nah we won’t accept what it is that they think they know
We won’t accept what it is that they think they know
