[Verse 1] They post a black square then they post a new jet, Caption says “This is stolen land” with a little regret. Then they buy another mansion up in Malibu, On the very same land they’re telling me is overdue. They fly private to the protest, land on sacred ground, Give a speech about the ancestors while their Rolex hangs around. They’ll hashtag the movement, then they’ll sell you the merch, While the property taxes on their compound still work. [Pre-Chorus] They’ll cry about the history, From a gated community… [Chorus] Stolen land! Stolen land! They’re standing on it with a drink in their hand. Stolen land! Stolen land! They’ll tweet about justice from their oceanfront stand. They’ll say “Give it back” with a tear in their eye, Then renew the lease on their hillside supply. Stolen land… But not their land, you understand. [Verse 2] The musician writes a ballad about colonial sin, Then collects the residuals from the country they’re in. They’ll dedicate a song to the people of the past, While their record label’s building on the same old contrast. They show up at the rally in indigenous design, Bought it wholesale from a vendor who ships just in time. They’ll speak on the mic about returning the earth, Then drive home in a car that costs more than the dirt. [Pre-Chorus] They’ll cry about the history, From a gated community… [Chorus] Stolen land! Stolen land! They’re standing on it with a drink in their hand. Stolen land! Stolen land! They’ll tweet about justice from their oceanfront stand. They’ll say “Give it back” with a tear in their eye, Then renew the lease on their hillside supply. Stolen land… But not their land, you understand. [Bridge] They’ll share the map with the arrows and the names, Then book the next tour through the very same plains. They’ll call for reparations while the streaming checks clear, And the foundation they started still meets once a year. It’s easy to lecture when the view’s this grand… Harder to move when you’re built on the land. [Final Chorus] Stolen land! Stolen land! They’re standing on it with a drink in their hand. Stolen land! Stolen land! They’ll tweet about justice from their oceanfront stand. They’ll say “Give it back” with a tear in their eye, Then lock the gate and wave us goodbye. Stolen land… Yeah, somebody else’s problem, man. [Outro] (This is stolen land…) (Please like and subscribe from my stolen land studio) Stolen land… Just not the part with my pool.
