1996 Lyrics

(Take that W and put it on it's side, Its whole different form of life, that's real shit)

I'm talking Hastings, Pender, Powell Street, and Cordova

Headed East you bound to see a human body rolled over

Headed West you start to see suits and heavy spenders

There's a very real divide between the Eastside and West-Enders

But we are all the same

We all filled up with blood

Some of us filled up with hatred but we should be filled with love

Some Youngins lost their life

Some mothers lost their sons

Some husbands lost their wife

Some children lost their mom

It feels like no one's safe

Why can't they just be found

There be missing women, toxic drugs, and violence in my town

And the government does nothing

We really on the ground

Then they lock up someone innocent so I'm yelling fuck the crown

That's why I be feeling pissed

Tokenism is a bitch

Last damn Residential School closed in 1996

Politics they got me sick 'cuz they claim they wit' the shits

They ain't never seen a body getting dropped off in a ditch

I'm talking Hastings, Pender, Powell Street, and Cordova

Headed East you bound to see a human body rolled over

Headed West you start to see suits and heavy spenders

There's a very real divide between the Eastside and West-Enders

But we are all the same

We all filled up with blood

Some of us filled up with hatred but we should be filled with love

Some Youngins lost their life

Some mothers lost their sons

Some husbands lost their wife

Some children lost their mom

It feels like no one's safe

Why can't they just be found

There be missing women, toxic drugs, and violence in my town

And the government does nothing

We really on the ground

Then they lock up someone innocent so I'm yelling fuck the crown

That's why I be feeling pissed

Tokenism is a bitch

Last damn Residential School closed in 1996

Politics they got me sick 'cuz they claim they wit' the shits

They ain't never seen a body getting dropped off in a ditch
