This is my message to the Government and to Adani and anyone else who wants to try kill us off. Day 858 still here.

lyrics

You're preaching to the choir
Any reason why your over reaching coz seems wild yeah
it's been a while
I'm over teaching people
It's 2023 and me style yeah
Activated my DNA
And Packed away my fears you can see it on my face ay
I'm inundated with data
From past lives
Hearin shots from the mounted police carbines
Ya can't hide the genetic trauma
It's a far cry to deny
The systemic rorters
Grandfather dies
Just so yours can
Benefit off it
So let's address
The benevolent elephant
In your office
Coz it's about to break the chains
Then take up a rampage
Like an attict
Running through the upperhouse
Painted up causing a panic
I'm a pain in your vains
Glad to be tagged apart of you
Like I was some body baggage

No way no no no way
I ain't dying today
I think.
you've just made a mistake
I ain't dying today
Nooo way
Come in then dig your own grave
I ain't dying today No way
Won't hesitate to say
I ain't dying today

Sometimes I wonder
Why I should I even try.
If you've seen my life
You'd give up
But it seems I'm bound
To this sacred ground
Coz it takes my crown
To get up
And I will not fall
Imma risk it all
For the biscuit coz
Have your crumbs
To stand in my truth
In their way and refuse
Make them pay for their dues
Here I come
The cloth that I was cut from
Costed us enough
To be accosted by cops
Then become a hostage
To government ops.
No option they tell us
So I forage for what was lost
before elders fill up the coffin box.
Imma Send a message
N put 'em in a rock and hard place
I'm a black male
These cats tailed it
From my case
You're on your ninth life
End of the timeline
Taking the limelight
I ain't dying alright

No way no no no way
I ain't dying today
I think.
you've iust made a mistake
I ain't dying today
Nooo way
Come in then dig your own grave
I ain't dying today No way
Won't hesitate to say
I ain't dying today

It was your choice
You started this
Laryngectomized
Voice to parliament
Both sides funded from mining
So let's finally get to the Uluru statement from the heart of it.
make us apart of you
To make us part with it
Legitimising land grabs
Now I'm advising you to Stand back
Or become a part of a system that continues to diminish their victims
Where our permission was never given
They broke their own rules
For moving past Brisbane
And they think
we don't think though
Labor party is being funded from Rio tinto
And they would Juuken Gorge this whole continent bro
coz if I was afforded
The opportunity
I would sink boats
Caught in a lock
Russian to kill
Colonialism
Call it unorthodox
corporate dogs
Crushin the will
Of our women and children
Calling on DOCS,
You cornered the fox
pullin ya own pin again

No way no no no way
I ain't dying today
I think.
you've just made a mistake
I ain't dying today
Nooo way
Come in then dig your own grave
I ain't dying today No way
Won't hesitate to say
I ain't dying today.

No no no I ain't dying
No no no dying today
No no no I ain't dying today..
