Bit of conversation This how we do it in kamileroi nation Throw ya dubs up, reppin all of my relations You can feel it round the campfire light You can hear the clapsticks when you close your eyes Get ya friends and ya family and hold them tight Stay strong we gonna be alright My country where the songlines are Where dhinawan touch the stars Sunset see the red light glow My heart beats to get back home My country where the songlines are Where dhinawan touch the stars Sunset see the red light glow My heart beats to get back home We dealing with the kinda stuff that'll get ya down That stuff what ya do when ya bored livin in a small town That sadness is all around us Yep trauma & pain gets pa**ed down cuz Copy what ya mum & dad does and what ya brothers do Yep it's my family and my friends that I look up to – Shapes my values - makes me who I am Black superwoman or black superman Black fella spray paint on the back of your right hand Used to hold a spear now ya holdin a mic stand Used to follow lore now ya follow the white man Used to read stars now we follow the nav man, a black man Gotta read the signs ahead – choose the right path Got young fullas lookin up to you bred Watching your every step, every path you tread Every choice you make you better make it your best My country where the songlines are Where dhinawan touch the stars Sunset see the red light glow My heart beats to get back home My country where the songlines are Where dhinawan touch the stars Sunset see the red light glow My heart beats to get back home This is our time, it's time to make a choice This a song for my people, stand up and raise your voice This a message and it's special for the little girls and boys Speak the truth, be fair dinkum and make some noise Pull yourself out of the drain, get up out of the gutter Continue the story of your great great barji and ya darthar Show the love and respect one another Don't let it go in one ear and out the other Love ya my dhagaan Love ya my brother
