Gurrumul - Take Me Home lyrics

[Verse 1: Briggs & Trials] 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 d**h 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 [Hook:] 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 [Verse 2: Briggs & Trials] 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 pa** 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 [Bridge: Briggs & Trials] 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) [Hook:] 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 [Outro:] Play me out brother (Yo Cleverman!)
