lirik lagu dallas woods - chapter one
[intro]
two, four, five, six
yes please
[verse]
yeah, uh
at age seven, found connection with the place i call home
where muddy water and fresh air was our favourite cologne
bastion, c~ckburn ranges, cambridge gulf, the five rivers
that sight alone reminds us ancestors are still with us
fresh fish for dinner, goanna, turkey for dinner
hunting past ’cause we don’t want that juwadi to get us
walkin’ down the highway, the tourists are takin’ pictures
i do now, but back then, i never really usеd to get it
how beautiful and lucky we arе to call this place home
come to think about it, that’s why we never stayed home
always out and about, remember saint joe’s days?
mango tree where we ate while we played, grass~less oval we play
final bell, lions park, the next stop
salty plums, sugar tamarind and pop rocks
the boys play football, the girls play hopscotch
any beast drive past, we yell, “make it drop, drop”
wheels spin, budoof, when we was little kids
had fights turn real when we were little kids
street lights meant home when we were little kids
dark time, still not home, yeah, we were little sh~ts
true god, fast forward a few years
state school, familiar faces and new peers
went from wearing blue to an orange uniform
the moment there a unit was formed
cliff kid for life, wyndham boy till i die
no text message, just fl!ck your hand in the sky
that’s hi, that’s bye, what now? be right
english, kriol, two worlds, hand signs
catch, catch, catch up, young men always up to somethin’
day break at the bakery doing nothin’
cruisin’ ’round town with the bros, music pumpin’
or tryna to find us a wifey, window jumpin’
teenagers with no favours, all we had was the night
the way you earned your stripe is the way you handled a fight
we know the protocol, so to the elders polite
respect your elders, or they knock out your lights, it’s a cultural right
my big bro’s got a license, dangerous
my big bro’s eighteen plus, dangerous
all we got is open road, that’s dangerous
full tank, full esky, where they takin’ us?
now that’s the question that they wanna know
kiss my mom and my nan and tell ’em i gotta go
country music playin’ as soon as we hit the road
hate country music where i’m from, not a single soul
well, school, didn’t finish it, wasn’t good with listening
knew it wasn’t for me, common sense was kickin’ in
clear as day, i’m different, i’m hoping in the best way
travelling the country while my bruddas finish tenth grade
four states in ten days, economy, no leg sp~ce
homesick, but living in the moment was my best trait
the things i’d seen by the age of sixteen, the type of things you consider a dream
mr work hard, play hard, same routine
sometimes a little too hard, but what’s life without battle scars
i’d make it home every once in a while
welcomed home with a smile
my friends be growing up quick
a few of them having kids
i lost a few on the way
that feeling really is sh~t
for that reason, won’t quit
wyndham made me like this
turned a boy to a warrior like the river a king
and you know that’s the way that it is
so here’s a message to the next gen’, head up high
you’re never gonna make a change, if you never gonna try
[outro]
dallas woods
representin’ the e~k, e~k, e~k
you know what it is, thank you very much
much love, peace out
