Blak Matriarchy

Lyrics

[Intro] I am tired of begging and asking for our humanity When is it enough? [Verse 1] Can't colonise my Blak mind, I'm from the Dreamtime, I go back (Ayy) They committed genocide through my tracks They raped our mothers, lessened my black (Ayy) They brought the violence when they attacked I ain't here to start trouble, I'm just here to state facts (Tell 'em) You can't paint me, how you wanna paint cracks? And I'm tied to my mob, got my mob on my back, ha Waratahs are covered in blood White-washin' our history to cover it up Proof is all in the pudding 'cause This nation couldn't givе a fuck about us We survive uncedеd, undivided Our people stay fighting 'cause the flame is ignited We stay righteous, we cannot be silenced 'Cause silence is violence, the reason we're divided And they choose not to digest the truth Instead, they just go ahead and dilute our youth (Fuck 'em) Only like the system 'cause it just suits you Give a fuck about the law, yeah, I'd rather grassroots (Uh) Blak to the bone, Blak to the busy Mob on my back, yeah, they all rock with me Barkaa in my blood, that river flow through me I'm matriarchal bloodline one-twenty [Chorus] This for the Blak matriarchs This for my sisters who lived in the dark This for my sisters who carry our past on their shoulders, this is for Blak matriarchs This is all of our women, this for all of our children, couldn't care less 'bout the monarch I'ma set fire to the kingdom, I'm coming for them, all hail to Blak matriarchs [Verse 2] I'm the pain and the proof (Tell 'em) The history that lays out the truth (Tell 'em) And they couldn't walk a mile in our shoes Tell us to go bush when they all introduced Fuck it, we've been here for too long Matriarchy blood, yeah, I been built strong (Yup) Song lines deep, yeah, it got me singing songs 'Cause I can't forget where I came from Barkindji country, Mungo Man Pass it to my kids, tell 'em, "This your land" I came from the dirt, go back in red sand Desert river Nhuungku, I'm proud of who I am (Ah) Creator created me tough, ha And I'm callin' out all your bluffs Saying the past is all in the past, well, that dark past still lives in my mum I stay radical, I know the truth Couldn't kill my ancestors, I'm the proof I know I still got some screws loose But my third eye's open and I'm looking right through, looking at you Nhuungku right here, gonna do what it do So my little Blak seeds ain't gotta prove shit to you Ngayti sent me gone, bud, what do? Three percent, me hold it down for the few (Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy) [Chorus] This for the Blak matriarchs This for my sisters who lived in the dark This for my sisters who carry our past on their shoulders, this is for Blak matriarchs This is all of our women, this for all of our children, couldn't care less 'bout the monarch I'ma set fire to the kingdom, I'm coming for them, all hail to Blak matriarchs [Outro] You know I have a culture, I am a cultured person Don't try and suppress me and don't call me a problem I have never left my country I am not the problem
