Paroles de 'Koiki Mabo' par Edsong

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

Your clothes don’t tell me nothing

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
