** LYRICS **
[Verse 1]
I'm just here to push limits
Shit-scared of heights but I stay on top of the game
Just to say I did it, show young black kids that you can live it
Free your mind with it, be proud of your pigment
I wasn't for a while, too many times vilified
For being a shade different
Started hating myself and all dark skin, playing myself
Charlie Sheen, Two and a Half Men
Remember after school, train station
Busta "Break Ya Neck" blasting from iPod Mini
Thankful class finished
So I could go and play Majora's Mask with my little brother
When cops come up and start asking me
"Where you from? What you up to?" "Oh, from Moorabbin?"
"That's half an hour from here, not from around here
Boy, what you selling? Where's your product?"
I hadn't even touched drugs at this point, except maybe a joint
But my skin fitted the description
So "oink oink" had to be deployed
Next day at school, told my friends
The facts of how they treated the boy
They said I'm being crazy
'Cause to them, black voice is white noise
That's the world that we're living in
[Chorus: Jordan Rakei]
We seem to forget the dark days of history, yeah
And time will manifest the endless possibility, yeah
Open your eyes to see the world is darker than it seems
So we dreaming on (dreaming on), enough with the crazy, crazy talk
[Verse 2]
Dave Chappelle taught me
The worst thing to call someone is crazy
Dismissing all the pain that plagues them in one word
Just to avoid confrontation with yourself
We prefer to sit on a chesterfield lounge
While microwaving a meal by McCain and
Watching Australian Idol contestant failing
While the house that we're in is in flames
All because it's the routine (I dunno know about that man)
So when they say, "Too deep"
I say, "But it's a reality, you're too deep"
'Cause I'm just using eyes, ears and news feeds
To get up to speed
Shit, only those that don't read between the lines abuse these
Therefore I don't lose sleep
'Cause I'm well aware that's the world that we're living in
[Chorus: Jordan Rakei]
We seem to forget the dark days of history, yeah
And time will manifest the endless possibility, yeah
Open your eyes to see the world is darker than it seems
So we dreaming on (dreaming on), enough with the crazy, crazy talk
[Outro]
Open your eyes
Open your eyes
Open your eyes
Open your eyes
Prelude is solid, too:
In a world of alt facts, that overthrow blacks,
queens in hijabs, queers that get bashed,
we sit down, kick back, we sip on six packs,
watch the world burn on telly and think
that's how it is
that's how it is
Dougall Norris love you for that, sir.
All of this is exceptional!
thats probably the best thing ive ever heard
Thank you so much but i think he might be saying "alt facts" instead of old facts.As a reference to the Trump era of alt facts.
Could be wrong though,
Sanjay Ramzan tooootally is. Cheers mate.
It would be so cool if they did a COLORS tour with some of these artists with a stage built around the same concept as in the show
Tyrez S that is such a good idea
In like the same way that Sofar does, small semi-private/intimate sized shows. It would be so perfect
Lorenzo Rizzardi Exactly!!! Small to mid sized venues. It would be so perfect. They could do a small national/international Tour
Tyrez S OMG HOLY YEEEES
Tyrez S YES
Still bumping to this in 2024
All the power comes from his afro
I felt like it was gonna be a good video when I saw that fro in the thumbnail tbh.
Chrispy them bomb from piano?
That's why his hair is so big; it's full of secrets!
HE HAS THE NUMBER 2 HEADBAND
Chrispy yes lord
This song is as smooth as butter
smoother
smooth. EXACTLY
+IndieCurrent #AGREED
Superbe
warm butter, yes.
"To them, black voice is white noise" POWERFUL!! Beautiful song
🔥🔥🔥
Jordan Rakei effortlessly pulls at my heartstrings.
REMI made it to Colors !!!!!!!!!!!
big big ting!!!
These blokes are Australia's national treasures and do us proud, no question. Awesome to see them in the one place to enable filming of this.
Dougall Norris stop stealing
jordan rakei's voice is hella soothing
Jordan Rakei yessssss
Their voices are UNREAL 😍
in love
black voice is white noise...WHAT. A. LINE!
Right!!!!!
White Boy Funny you say things like that with no repercussions. Black people get consequences for existing. I suggest you educate yourself and grow out of YOUR elementary state of mind. I feel bad for you because you see the world with an absence of being open-minded. Grow up
BLACK FOLKS ARE MUSIC
@@JacobHiraku thats a fool right there does he even know any black folk, shouldn't he be listening to bkack Sabbath!
dude yes
This is the best colours show I've ever seen
Yo I must've been high asf because I dont remember ever seeing this before. it's aight lol
MountMister watch more.
@@MountMister LMAOOOOOO! Fam ahahahah!
Agreed! this is what made me subscribe
Am i the only one who can't help but shed tears listening to this? It reminds me of days when i would try to relate my experience to others, only to realize that "to them black voice is white noise"
I feel so much sadness for my people. All of us dark skinned. All of us who feel different just existing in our own skin.
I love you all. If you ever saw me, even if you dont know me; i hope you now you can find refuge within me. I'll always take time for my people.
My goodness the way I blasted this in 2017
Remi, amazing artist. Always steps up and is in my eyes underrated. Melbourne represent, greatest city in the world. Remi and Jordan stalked the colors show and devoured it. Respect to all involved. Peace!
Good to see Jordan Rakei here but I hope to see him solo soon
Angel K he has an album??? 😂
Joyce Chahine he has several, actually!
1 album. A couple EPs. And I think she meant see him performing solo on this show.
Ah, I didn't clarify. I meant seeing him Solo on the Colors channel.
Angel K I agree! I'm surprised he hasn't done a session for them
Remi's lines and lyrics are the best!
So stoked my boy Rem got on colours
As soon as Rakei opened his mouth, I felt tears
Toni-Ann Ashea that was me 🙋🙏 the words are all that!! Honestly! 🔥

They both are so talented together and when they do their own thing, both should be on Tiny Desk!

@@georgehall7346 HUGE Thanks to you George!!!
This is so inspirational and mellow asf
Whatever is in the water in Australia, I want some. So many of my favorite artists are from New Zealand , or Australia.
TIGHT LINES. WOOOOOO
Dope...I appreciate quality music , which is hard to find in South Africa but thanks to UA-cam x all the other media's out there.
I think if it wouldn't be for Colors amazing sound engineering Jordan Rakei wouldn't shine as he does on this video! well done
I love this track.
Are we going back to the 90's? He took us there
that first verse!! holy sheeit
One of the best things I could hear in my entire life
Jordan killd it !!!!!'
I love
wow never heard anything like this! talent!
Ugh, I cannot find any more songs from Remi on UA-cam only some girl talking about herself ..
This was an experience to listen to. From voices to topic. Pure depth.
A year later...but try searching up “brain - remi” “my people - remi” “runner-remi”.
Yes.
Dope lyrics!!!! Awesome arrangement... I’m officially a fan
If only the album was mastered like this one !
Out here Bobbing my head💯
