Take Me Home - A.B. Original, Gurrumul

You can’t contain my authority, restrain the minority

Take the hand, everybody would follow me

From a long line of leaders and warriors

I pathed the path through the face of intolerance

Through the face of a colonist, half-arsed apologist

Celebrating death on Australia Day

More they making a change, more they staying the same

In a blink watch an officer turn into a coroner

You ain’t got the balls to walk these corridors

Rip the claws in Namorrodor’s jaws

«Everything's getting heavy,» no doubt brother

And if things don’t change somebody’s getting buried

You wanna take us home?

(Yeah)

Where it at though?

I don’t know

Where it at though?

I don’t know

They put a bed in a cell and they call that home

You wanna take us home?

(Yeah)

Where it at though?

I don’t know

Where it at though?

I don’t know

And when I find out, leave it all behind and then I go

Yeah, I stay clever to the man

Hip to the game, watched every claim

Saw them speak up, watch them detained

Again, again, again, again

They claim brotherhood, but never act how a brother would

Put it on my name, we ain’t the same, get it understood

And pass a nulla nulla to the other fulla

See, love is cool, but love is blind

You got pride in what son?

Leaving kids behind

Until they die and the rest getting locked up

Nah, we making change, no question

Call myself Trials 'cause my people don’t get them

Take me home

Take me home, where I live

Where I love, where I fight, where I feel

Take me home, where I live

Where I love, where I fight, where I feel

Take me home, where I live

Where I love, where I fight, where I feel

Take me home, where I live

Where I love, where I fight, where I feel

Take me home, where I live

Where I love, where I fight, where I feel

Take me home

(Yo Cleverman)

You wanna take us home?

Where it at though?

I don’t know

Where it at though?

I don’t know

They put a bed in a cell and they call that home

You wanna take us home?

Where it at though?

I don’t know

Where it at though?

I don’t know

And when I find out, leave it all behind and then I go

Play me out, brother (Yo, Cleverman!)
