THICK SKIN

[Verse 1: Baker Boy]
Gimme that shivering feeling like ghosts
Now you see it clearer what they treat me like (Yo)
Invisible, hoping for a miracle boat
Cynical, hearing that ship sank low
We go bang, keep your iron fist
You never know when it's gonna happen like this
Could be living like a king, then behind a fence
But wait, I'm stepping off the bench, like
I'ma manifest a fantasy
I can't express the fullness of my empathy
It's catastrophic, you should be ashamed
We all know, it's easier with ignorance to shut it out
A God complex
You can't rob this, you can't stop this
And we will rise
Gimme that, gimme that, gimme that keys to a new life

[Pre-Chorus: Baker Boy]
Wasn't for the fame, I just needed to survive
Not a silent soldier, my pigment is my pride
I'm like red dirt, gold chains, blak knight, thick skin
Red dirt, gold chains, thick skin, thick skin

[Chorus: Baker Boy]
Five-oh pull up and we gon' scatter
(We gon' scatter, we gon' scatter)
But you know, the only crime was our skin colour
(Our skin colour, colour)
Wrong place, wrong time, least we together
(Together, together, together)
Red dirt (Red dirt), gold chains (Gold chains), thick skin (Thick skin), thick skin

[Verse 2: Baker Boy]
I'ma manifest a fantasy
I can't express the fullness of my empathy
It's catastrophic
Wait, wait, wait, wait
Nhätha bili nhuma dhu nhaburruny ŋäma
Wata-gum nhumali dhäruk nhaburrung dhurrwara-ŋur
Beŋur bili beŋur bili
Ŋunhu bala dhuwal bala
Dharrwa Dharrwa buma marrtji nhaburrung walŋa
Bäyŋu walala nhaburruny nhäma
Wäŋa-ŋur djäma-ŋur dhukarr-ŋur
Raypirri bäyŋu gotta have a thick skin
Get out, look up, no chance, no luck
My fam' they hunt, I dance, they done
You can't ever put a price on us
No, you can't ever put a price on us

[Pre-Chorus: Baker Boy]
Wasn't for the fame, I just needed to survive
Not a silent soldier, my pigment is my pride
I'm like red dirt, gold chains, blak knight, thick skin
Red dirt, gold chains, thick skin, thick skin

[Chorus: Baker Boy]
Five-oh pull up and we gon' scatter
(We gon' scatter, we gon' scatter)
But you know, the only crime was our skin colour
(Our skin colour, colour)
Wrong place wrong time, least we together
(Together, together, together)
Red dirt (Red dirt), gold chains (Gold chains), thick skin (Thick skin), thick skin
Five-oh pull up and we gon' scatter
(We gon' scatter, we gon' scatter)
But you know, the only crime was our skin colour
(Our skin colour, colour)
Wrong place, wrong time, least we together
(Together, together, together)
Red dirt (Red dirt), gold chains (Gold chains), thick skin (Thick skin), thick skin

[Outro: Thelma Plum, Emma Donovan, Kee'ahn, Jada Weazel]
I fought through thick and thin
I can't be broken
I know where I come from
When we walk, it's our song
I fought through thick and thin
I won't be broken
You can't tear my thick skin
We'll always sing our song
I fought through thick and thin
I can't be broken
I know where I come from
When we walk, it's our song
I fought through thick and thin
I won't be broken
You can't tear my thick skin
We'll always sing our song
I fought, I can, I know where I'm from
I won't be broken
You can't tear my thick skin
I know where we come from
I fought
Said we fought
Sing our song
Thick skin (Thick skin)
We'll always
