Abandoned

[Verse 1]
Look, I don't know if you know this
But I don't even know how I'm gonna get through
So I'm constantly ghosting
Like, let me go, leave me 'lone
'Cause I'm in my zone and I gotta stay focused
But I don't know where to go
I got nowhere to go, all I got are emotions
Sip the potion and that's how I cope when the door be closing
Nobody's on the other side
Lies get told, now they're rising the toll, making us wanna suicide
And I might get old, but I'm writing for my youths
Who been out here dying for the truth
Why don't you tell me why I'm different to you
And why we nеver make it to the morning nеws?
I need the food and I don't got no Flybuy card
All I wanna do is jump the fence from these dogs tryna bite my ass
Yeah, and I try so hard tryna keep on keeping on
Wanna be racist? Better sleep it off, but I stay woke
'Cause I know more than what they know
And I can't talk to these fake jokes who gotta 'stay real with it'
Steal my identity, all that I am and they say, "Deal with it"?
Try to create then erase my image?
But I am not what you made me to be, I am more
Fighting for peace, so I'm stuck in the war
Knees weak, 'cause I'm hoping to God
That he gives me the keys that'll open the doors

[Chorus]
I don't think they understand me
I'm takin' this stand for all of my family
They don't care about this land
The government a bunch of bandits
We've been abandoned
Strung a long way, too long for the crumbs
And now we comin' for the whole cake
Takin' no breaks till it's done, nah
I don't think they understand me
I'm takin' this stand for all of my family
They don't care about this land
The government a bunch of bandits
We've been abandoned
Strung a long way, too long for the crumbs
And now we comin' for the whole cake
Takin' no breaks till it's done, nah

[Verse 2]
I ain't in it for the fun, I ain't in it for the funds, I don't want none
All I wanna see in life is a better life for my son and I'ma get it done
Yes, indeed, that's a definite
Plant a seed, put the effort in
They be thinking that they're better than me
Yeah, that's the reason that they never been
I'ma take it to where it ain't never been
Cops kill us without hesitance
Lighter sentence for the white guy
Got Australia looking American
But we the original residents
And they gave us poison as medicine
They sell off all of our water
And then they set fire to everythin'
I can never trust them lads
All they wanna do is set us back
They don't even care what's on the other side
'Bout the loss of life or the genocide
I get on the mic, tryna weaponise
We ain't even really getting by
They got it wrong, now we don't belong
And all I wanna do is set it right

[Chorus]
I don't think they understand me
I'm taking this stand for all of my family
They don't care about this land
The government a bunch of bandits
We've been abandoned
Strung a long way, too long for the crumbs
And now we comin' for the whole cake
Takin' no breaks till it's done, nah
I don't think they understand me
I'm takin' this stand for all of my family
They don't care about this land
The government a bunch of bandits
We've been abandoned
Strung a long way, too long for the crumbs
And now we comin' for the whole cake
Takin' no breaks till it's done, nah

[Outro]
I ain't in it for the fun, I ain't in it for the funds, I don't want none
All I wanna see in life is a better life for my son and I'ma get it done
I ain't in it for the fun, I ain't in it for the funds, I don't want none
All I wanna see in life is a better life for my son and I'ma get it done
