I thought I’d share a song a day during NAIDOC Week
This one is titled “Strongest Mob”
Denni featuring Craig Everett
To understand is to listen..
You don't wanna muck with Madame Pakana
They wanna war, don't wanna talk about a massacre
You don't want it with payarrinina mangina
They had to use their lies and stories for dividing us
But we been fighting all this time, so you should honour us
Strongest mob on lutruwita, ain't nobody stopping us
[Verse 1: DENNI]
Let's take it back to when the kani begun
And it's still the same kani that I learnt from my mum
Proud Pakana, honouring my Nan on every sunny day
When they asking who's my mob? I tell 'em all, trawoolaway
It was their mission to destroy and now, that mission is mine
I'll still end up in the dirt whether I live or I die
So, I've been using my music to keep that fire alive
Like Mannalargenna did when the first ships had arrived
East side, green eyes, true warrior
Stronger woman, bigger shoulders than the lot of ya
They had to fight, try resist but never wanted to
I honour them and keep the pressure on for Tongerlongeter
My blood lines done time and it isn't right
This a product of invasion, cuz my skin is light
I know my mountain proud of old fellas sitting high
But my heart is black and I'm still watching them mangana fly
