Told em forget dey truth, dug up the roots growing the trees. looked at the branches didn't see no fruit just pines and leaves. Indoctrinate my bloodline then ask me what's wrong wit me. Lunatics taking over the land and charging you to sleep. Got Directed towards the sky but told that knowledge make you deep. Puttin Holy water on ya head they said it was to powerful for you to drink. Told the census taker, correct they behavior, my people still ain't on that paper. Big families running businesses still tryinna slave us. Generations of indoctrinated schoolin kept it movin. Conquest and War who you think taught all that to us. On ah globe spinnin in ya mind they called it earth, should've called it water 70 percent takin up the turf. And I dwell on the Turtle, oldest culture in the dirt. Legends of the green thumb, my Ancestors crops never hurt. Had to change it up ah little for you, this ain't about how good I'm rhythmin. It's about gettin called non existent while ya culture steadily dying. In ah room with no lights on in the blackness is where you'll find us. Turned on my night vision glasses started grabbing for reminders. Let the truth marinate in the oven slow bake with no timer. Put it on ya plate with the juicies the taste ain't minor. Ain't saying no names but middle finger up to who ever is behind them. Addicts campin chantin bless you to the drug supplier. My people never gave up though, caught up in this minstrel show, Got every Culture but our own living were our Ancestors roamed. -CHORUS- So shine on em, the diamonds, the gold, stay blindin em, the jewelery, the clothes. So shine on em, StarChild shine. So shine on em, StarChild shine. Shine starchild, shine, It's alright, It's embedded in our DNA to do it. Even Michael Jackson told you history was ah lie on live television fam you should've listened to him. Don't wanna be late just to wait at the gate for the keepers. Shouting Indoctrinated words over their loud speakers. So shine on em, the diamonds, the gold, stay blindin em, the jewelery, the clothes. So shine on em, StarChild shine. So shine on em, StarChild shine. This ain't ah dream that we livin in, pay attention to the movies. kingdom of heaven blood shed, the priest carrying ah sword on duty. Mindless battles, armies clashin, everybody dying. Fires burning down villages, women and children crying. Got the nerve to call my people savages after all they did. Killin off the parents so they could indoctrinate the kids. My Ancestors are my relatives I wasn't around when they lived. Back when turtle Island was poppin 100 percent indigenous. Pull up to the spot, hop on da dock tie up the canoe. Night life, Ancient city lights outshine the moon. Told them my mind is an old relic they'll be finding soon. Ah treasure I unburied like the items you find in tombs. They didn't wanna dig us up because the truth would set us free. My Firmament is Heaven producing life don't wanna leave. Old buildings in ya city wonder how they got there. Rich foreign families claiming my Culture and they just got here. Fam I don't hate nobody just the system that they forcing on me. Misplaced my Ancestors missionaries steadily coming. To our shores no soldiers just books we couldn't read. Ah picture is worth ah thousand words so they changed the pictures we see. Ain't saying no names but middle finger up to who ever is behind them. Addicts campin chantin bless you to the drug supplier. My people never gave up though, caught up in this minstrel show, Got every Culture but our own living were our Ancestors roamed. -CHORUS- So shine on em, the diamonds, the gold, stay blindin em, the jewelery, the clothes. So shine on em, StarChild shine. So shine on em, StarChild shine. Shine starchild, shine, It's alright, It's embedded in our DNA to do it. Even Michael Jackson told you history was ah lie on live television fam you should've listened to him. Don't wanna be late just to wait at the gate for the keepers. Shouting Indoctrinated words over their loud speakers. So shine on em, the diamonds, the gold, stay blindin em, the jewelery, the clothes. So shine on em, StarChild shine. So shine on em, StarChild shine.
