That's That Shit (Billy Hoyle Remix)

Ode to Ignorance appears on REMI's award-winning album 'Raw X Infinity

LYRICS:

I come from the land down under, I'm Australian
I come from the land down under, I'm Australian

I come from the land down under, 

I'm Australian where we've got men at work Sudanese too Israeli 

and this has got the ignorant acting a little Hilter-ish saying that any immigrant should be detained'ed.

Cause Though we got skills, man, they want us in cages, 

they're scared, they see beige skin and think we're Hussein skins. 

If they're found in the ground like him, The whose saying shit?

Other Than Saddamn Remi's Straight John Blaz'n

Leaving casualties from Canberra my birth place 

Too, Nigeria's sand that my Daddy was raised in, 

I'm fucking racist propaganda in it's face lips, 

So Tell McGuire cram it before I go ape shit.

Though I guess it's not his bad,

That mind set is old, probably got it from his dad, copy and pasted. 

And just reiterated what ignorant racists 

Have thought since my mother's ancestors invaded 

and that's

Fuck foreigners. Those Africans aren't worth shit.
Fuck the origins. Aboriginals aren't worth shit.
Fuck foreigners. Indian, Islander, Arabic, Asian if you're not male and caucasian you ain't shit.

I give's something stupid Raw

No condom's when I give's food for thought

Tell'em I'm extra extra,

Brought the big issue with me

I've got a real big Issue with it

Sushi, Sushi Raw

A la carte food for thought,

Tell'em I'm extra extra

Brought the big issue with me

I've got a real big issue with it

My white friends say I'm over reacting

Like Japan's power plants when earth cracked it

I tell'em I wanna send tsunami's

Wave's of change obi/ously

Need to swell in to action

So I'm starting 'em up

Turn on the TV

NAAAAHHHH FUCK IT

Turn it off

It's time warped like Michael Fox

But it's not back to the futures

It's back to when black's were in nooses

The Media make's it so we look like aliens,

I mean when's the last time you saw a black guy on Neighbours and

When the News papers

Say Migrants are taking over all of us

Fears the drug

Our dealers the Herald Sun

But let's take a back step

Even if you can ignore all of the fact's then

You can't eliminate my experience

Of being made inferior

Or my dad's cause of his accent

I fucking hated seeing him get knocked back when

Ever he went for jobs, just because of his black skin

They said he's over qualified

I said he's over colour-fied

They said I pulled the race card out of the Packman

You think I wanna play that shit?

This isn't an arcade

This isn't a game

This shit is degrading

Can't take that shit

I fucking hate that shit

We've gotta Cremate it

But they keep fanning the flames with

Fuck foreigners. Those Africans aren't worth shit.
Fuck the origins. Aboriginals aren't worth shit.
Fuck foreigners. Indian, Islander, Arabic, Asian if you're not male and caucasian you ain't shit.

I give's something stupid Raw

No condom's when I give's food for thought

Tell'em I'm extra extra,

Brought the big issue with me

I've got a real big Issue with it

Sushi, Sushi Raw

A la carte food for thought,

Tell'em I'm extra extra

Brought the big issue with me

I've got a real big issue with it

For Good (featuring Sampa The Great)

'Substance Therapy' is the second single lifted from the upcoming 'Divas & Demons' album by REMI

Remi on "Substance Therapy" says, "depression is a demon in a scream mask, brandishing a hunting knife. When I take drugs, or drink it's the equivalent of giving that motherfucker the coordinates to my house. It just makes everything so much worse. This is basically the sound of coming down."

And from Sensible J, "this joint is supposed to sound hectic and anxious, to match the lyrical content from Rem. Very repetitive with the lil sample chops, and heavy bass stabs done on a Moog "Lil Phatty" by the man Dutch (peace bro!) When Rem added the "Blow your money" singing, I had to step up and add some changes to the bass notes. This beat has been sitting around for 3-4 years, and I'm glad it's going on this release. The drums have changed 3 times (shout out to DJ Manchild for the bday 45 and the open drum break on it! shhhhhhhh)."


Substance Therapy

'Lose Sleep' is the third single taken from the upcoming album 'Divas and Demons'.  OUT 16th September through House of Beige Records and available to pre-order now.

Remi’s words on “Lose Sleep”:
 
“Since our last record, a lot of young mixed race Aussie kids have come to me talking about how much they can relate to the racial struggle in our music. I don’t think that’s a good thing, but I’m proud that these kids feel a little less alone, because of some songs we didn’t think anyone would hear. It also became inspiration for me to continue opening up about my experience. Often you can feel like one crazy beige kid in a sea of ignorance shouting about equality. These kids helped change that for me. 
 
The most beautiful thing about a lot of musicians I know is how much the social climate effects them. Jordan Rakei is one of those musicians. Even though we were literally continents apart when he worked on this joint, with very little background on the song, Jordan was able too match the tone and message immediately. Partially because his voice sounds like liquid gold, but mostly because I know he gets it. It’s very apparent across his discography (if you haven’t heard it, get it) that he cares for our planet and the people in it. Thanks for being one of the good guys my brother.”

This video goes out to family. Whether blood or not.

This video goes out to all the cats who have held me down and rode with me through whatever.

This video goes out to all the people who have had their identities written for them and are in the process of reclaiming their narrative.

This video goes out to my black family who were there through every step of this process; creating, supporting and sharing.

This video goes out to my extended family who helped to bring our creativity to light.

This video was made by a community for community and I take very little credit for how it came together.
