[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, Cockburn 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 shits

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 flick 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 space

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 shit

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
