[Intro]
Sit back and look around you
Protect your inner child
I keep my spirit livin'
But I say watch for crocodiles
[Verse 1]
Three days in a bus to whip coast ways up north
The dry season got me itching
Come to the place, run down off a ban of liquor
Shit, I promise you ain't never seen a mission
Auntie Nat running Wongki Radio
Playing Fitzroy Xpress, know everybody listening
Come down to the water to the Martuwarra
Seeing all the saltwater croc heads glisten
I ain't been home in a minute
After all the rain falls, go fishing
When the pain comes, we stay with them
Minga boys knock heads if you trippin'
Got a foiled-up feed, ain't nobody doing dishes
King Brown gotta bite all the mobs, stay killin'
Hometown got a different feeling that I miss
Nobody more loving when you come northwest, yeah
[Chorus]
Sit back and look around you
Protect your inner child
Riverbank, sun seeking, red dirt, hundred miles
I keep my spirit livin', even as shit get wild
They say watch out for the sharks, but I say watch for crocodiles
Ooh, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
Ooh, nah, nah, nah
[Verse 2]
Old jolly swag man camp by the river
Songlines of our culture washed by the West
Waltzing to the stories of our people before they killed us and poisoned the rest
State of living, our mission is a testament to our mob caring for what's left
Stolen wages and generations must led to what says a rabbit-proof fence
Keep strength with intention (Oh, no)
Resilience tested (Oh, no)
Got to stick with the message (Yeah)
There ain't nothing I won't mention (Nah, nah)
Keep faith in our senses
Remember the lessons
They know that our culture's a weapon
Keep it tucked, power in every sentence, you know why
[Chorus]
Sit back and look around you
Protect your inner child
Riverbank, sun seeking, red dirt, hundred miles
I keep my spirit livin', even as shit get wild
They say watch out for the sharks, but I say watch for crocodiles
Ooh, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
Ooh, nah, nah, nah
