Birthright (feat. Zia Ahmed, Mirande & Swadesi)
Who owns this land?
There is a green mark on it
Mi casa es su casa
Says the man who stole your land
Mi casa es su casa
Says the man who sold your land
Is this tattoo, henna or ink
Does it fade?
Who remembers all of the patterns that you've made?
Let's not talk about race
Let's not talk about class
Let's not talk about faith
Let's not talk about caste
The motherland
The fatherland
Tick box otherland
The farmer's land
His mouth is a crack
From the drought that attacked
Blood is thicker than water
Oil is thicker than blood
Water's quicker than both
And when you're hit with a flood
You'll get caught in the mud
And you won't be able to run
Does the ice stitch itself back together
Does the forest stitch itself back together
Does the land stitch itself back together
Do people stitch themselves back together
Higher and higher (we'll turn)
Higher and higher (we'll turn)
Higher and higher
Water and fire
Higher and higher
Water and fire
Higher and higher
Water and fire
A hundred degrees
Will turn into hunger and greed
What's the world gonna look like
From under the sea?
How did it all get so deep?
How did it get so deep?
High and higher
Water and fire
Higher and higher
Water and fire
Higher and higher
Water and fire
Higher and higher
Water and fire
There is a green mark on it
Mi casa es su casa
Says the man who stole your land
Mi casa es su casa
Says the man who sold your land
Is this tattoo, henna or ink
Does it fade?
Who remembers all of the patterns that you've made?
Let's not talk about race
Let's not talk about class
Let's not talk about faith
Let's not talk about caste
The motherland
The fatherland
Tick box otherland
The farmer's land
His mouth is a crack
From the drought that attacked
Blood is thicker than water
Oil is thicker than blood
Water's quicker than both
And when you're hit with a flood
You'll get caught in the mud
And you won't be able to run
Does the ice stitch itself back together
Does the forest stitch itself back together
Does the land stitch itself back together
Do people stitch themselves back together
Higher and higher (we'll turn)
Higher and higher (we'll turn)
Higher and higher
Water and fire
Higher and higher
Water and fire
Higher and higher
Water and fire
A hundred degrees
Will turn into hunger and greed
What's the world gonna look like
From under the sea?
How did it all get so deep?
How did it get so deep?
High and higher
Water and fire
Higher and higher
Water and fire
Higher and higher
Water and fire
Higher and higher
Water and fire
