[Chorus: DENNI]
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
Milaythina to the muka, we niyakara
They had to use their lies and stories for dividing us
But we been fighting all this time, so you should honour us
Nita and nawnta from a line of warriors
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
[Chorus: DENNI]
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
Milaythina to the muka, we niyakara
They had to use their lies and stories for dividing us
But we been fighting all this time, so you should honour us
Nita and nawnta from a line of warriors
Strongest mob on lutruwita, ain't nobody stopping us
[Verse 2: Craig Everett]
Let's take it back to when the kani begun
And it's still the same kani that I teach to my son's
I was young and schools taught us that we didn't exist
But they couldn't lie to me I remember who my father is
Too many pakana still look at the cost
So, I travelled milaythina and was meeting the mobs
Had to get back to me roots, try to find what was lost
Change the history books, we had to prove to them dogs
That ever since me, old fellas walked on the milky way
I knew that I was gonna see my culture live another day
I see it on a different level and it's here to stay
Got the culture back, it's never gonna go away
In the muka getting tucka, with my nita, that's my brother
Shucking oysters in the summer, singing Boom Shakala
I been tracking from the stars when I'm looking up
Dig it then I grind it, then I paint it when I ochre up
[Chorus: DENNI]
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
Milaythina to the muka, we niyakara
They had to use their lies and stories for dividing us
But we been fighting all this time, so you should honour us
Nita and nawnta from a line of warriors
Strongest mob on lutruwita, ain't nobody stopping us
