Indigenous peoples are those groups protected in international or national legislation as having a set of specific rights based on their historical ties to a particular territory, their cultural and historical distinctiveness from other populations. The legislation is based on the conclusion that certain indigenous people are vulnerable to exploitation, marginalization and oppression by nation states formed from colonising populations or by politically dominant, different ethnic groups.
A special set of political rights in accordance with international law have been set forth by international organizations such as the United Nations, the International Labour Organization and the World Bank. The United Nations has issued a Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples to guide member-state national policies to collective rights of indigenous people—such as culture, identity, language, and access to employment, health, education, and natural resources. Estimates put the total population of indigenous peoples from 220 million to 350 million.

Truth Hurts x 4
I got reason to believe that you've been fooling around
And the way you feel the passion if the, the things you did
It don't matter to me
For what it's worth just don't lie to me
Coz that aint what I need right now
Baby, everything we built on trust, you're tearing it down
Coz I know the truth hurts
[CHORUS]
Truth Hurts
Tell me the truth now
Whatcha been doing and who you been doing it with
Truth Hurts
Where you been going, how you been puttin' your thing down
Truth Hurts
Whatever you was workin', I hope that it was worth it baby
Truth Hurts
I got reason to believe that you've been fooling around
Girl I'm really tryin' hard, I wanna stay
I wanna move on and put it in the past
Coz you claim that you aint doin' nothin'
Must be my insecurity
That's got the best of me right now
What I know I can't hold inside of me is gon' drive me insane, coz I know, truth hurts
[CHORUS]
Truth Hurts
Tell me the truth now
Whatcha been doing and who you been doing it with
Truth Hurts
Where you been going, how you been puttin' your thing down
Truth Hurts
Whatever you was workin', I hope that it was worth it baby
Truth Hurts
I got reason to believe that you've been fooling around
ba, ba, ba, ba, ba...ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba. (sing it with me now)
ba, ba, ba, ba, ba...ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba.
Truth Hurts
I got to see you babe
I been keepin' from you baby
Coz I know that you're
gonna tear up the place, punch me in the face, pull the I quits out, think you need to sit down.
I've been blaming you, and I'm the one that's doing wrong, I'ma go on
A guilty conscience is the real reason I wrote this song...
[CHORUS]
Truth Hurts

Whatever you was workin', I hope that it was worth it baby
Truth Hurts
