Jimblah - Treaty 2015 [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[VERSE 1: JIMBLAH]
From the top of the [?]
Let me clear my throat
Half of these cats ain't know...
Bred by the system to crush our hopes
A young black king come and claim his throne
Take what's mine to the back of boat
[??]

[?] I tried to be nice, but damn
[??]
[??] for the talk and the tokenism
And the politics. And the white supremacists
Navigate
Yeah, I heard that. Let’s be real. You hear me…
See I been quiet and I been torn between both worlds
And I been at war
And the front line is your picket fence
Where my battlefield is your privilege

I said…
If this the price of genocide
Do you expect me to just walk up
Live a lie
Forget it all?
Well our country is war torn, our all, your ore
I bring them walls down like Jericho
Show ‘em what we fightin’ for I said
A YO
I let you hear that War Cry

Treaty (3x)

[VERSE 2: NOOKY]
I just awoke from a sleep
Smallpox on my sheet
Took a sip from Myall creek, look at me
I'm Australia's nightmare
Every lie
Every truth
I'm the freedom
I'm the news, why hide from the proof?
I'm the blood
The earth, sea, the fight, the fuel, the dream
So who wanna Waltzing Matilda with me?
Young, black and angry
I dare you to doubt me
Put my life on the line and pay Pemulwuy's bounty

Take a handout? I’d rather cut off both hands
And let my blood flow back to the land
Rejuvenate the bones upon which we stand
Overthrow regime
Turn castle to sand
Too many promises be broken fam, and I’m fuckin’ fed up
I’m sick of hearing these lies
That’s why this anger inside has got me feelin’ like
Crashing the Freedom Ride into the side of parliament

I don’t know where to start
(I don’t know where to start)
It’s hard to reach out (It’s hard)
Cuz we’re worlds apart
I got a heavy heart
That’s why my broken past is stuck in the dark with the Stolen children
I don’t want a part of this hopeless system
The beds are burning
The world is turning
I carry that burden ‘till the day that I die

Treaty (3x)

[VERSE 3: JIMBLAH]

From a place where the fire protects
To the end of the earth, Imma let that burn
Put a system in check, that's my word
See the government, schools, TV, laws
All of it white, the fuck you thought they'd

Become dignified in the masses of war
Corrupt unjust and leave this cause
Freedom's gone. You hear our call?
That's your flesh and blood
We at War

Front page now we tearin' it down
Media trynna play that shit out
I feed them lies to the fire inside
I look to the stars and I rock smoked signs

Terra forms like that old landscape
Like days before, gonna bring that change
Unified, frightens us both black and white
Cuz we are one

[BRIDGE: ELLIE LOVEGROVE]
Sing to save our soul, tomorrow came
Heaven knows it's far too late
If this life of mine ain't worth the price
Take these chains off my eyes

Give it back

(Treaty 7x)
