I think to recognize that the problem start with us

The non-aboriginal Australians

It begins I think, with the an act of recognition

Recognition that was wait until this position

We took the tradition of lands and smash the tradition wild life

They will look for any excuse to take home from you

(Take home from you, take home from you)

They will remove your house and exploit the land from you

(Everything, everything)

Your kids under they law, they just follow then

(They dress like then, they talk like then)

This land never belong to us, but we will rent to then

You gain money, but I control the bank

Because whoever feed you, controls ya

If you give then power they controls ya

Because whoever feed you, controls ya

If you give then power they controls ya

Who you talkin to, talkin to

Ngunguno

What you gonna do ngunguno

Your clothes don’t tell me nothing

Clothes chaser

We need to own the bank, so go get it

Crisis of identity, your body is they entity

Wake up moço come to me, Let’s change this reality, reality

They will come straight to you, because they want know

What you're planning

Then they invite you to they platform

To see what you planning

Let’s play the game too, na na na

Let's understand this game, na na na

Let’s play the game too, na na na

Let's understand this game, na na na

We brough the diseases and the alcohol

We committed the murders, we took the children from their mothers

We practice discriminations, and exclusion

And was our ignorance, and our prejudice

And our fail to Imaginate this thinks could be done to us
