Labels / Divisions

I was born black
I was born white
Petu veenappo thanne labelled, ah
Peru kettaalariyaam where I belong
Matham, jaathi, vargam, initialed along
So you can discriminate by looking at
Now I wish everyone was colour blind
Groups and categories and divisions
Putting us under, divide and separate
Kannundaayalathu pora
Ava kond kaananam naam

Anthamaathiri pulamballe ketta
Pottum ninte chekittathu thotta
The system is a fucked up mess
Veezhcha down to the abyss
Going on like a bottomless pit
Gotta fix this mess, shit's already amiss

Ota udaline, ota kulathine daivangalkku nee panku vach
United we stand, divided we fall
We never were united at all
We made religions and gods
We pledged allegiance became a part
We formed in groups and sects and so
Literally tearing the race apart
In pieces, then we demanded for peace and
Religious harmony, shit harming me
Preaching and you forced me to believe in it
Injecting it in little brains even 'fore they start thinking it
Making you a slave to it
Don't shit on me, don't kill me
Unity become a formality
Screw your god and goddess
Don't need no borders
Feed them homeless, yeah
You don't get hurt when a person dies
You get hurt knowing the books were lies
That's 'cause you can't handle that
That is what the truth is called

Yeah, switch up the beat man
Jay Stellar, yeah
Rakz on the mic, yeah
