Our Greats

When I grow older

They gonna know my name

Standing on the shoulders

Of Our Greats

Cause I know where I belong

I’m a show ‘em, black and strong

Standing on the shoulders

Of our greats

Yeah, I'm Cathy Hunting Gold

Uncle Mackie in my soul

The greatest story never sold

Got a price on my head coz fortune favors the bold look..

I’m shooting through the ceiling Black and proud the only feeling

I instill into my children.

And I see the future’s path I done my part now I’m chillin...

I invested in my mob I let my people in the building

I didn't fold I didn't quit, I can see the torch now it’s lit

Even with my back against the wall

I chose to fly and to rise above it all

I was used to having no fixed address

Now there coloured stones on my neck

Paid off all the pain that I felt coz I told my younger self

When I grow older

They gonna know my name

Standing on the shoulders

Of our greats

Cause I know where I belong

I’m a show ‘em, black and strong

Standing on the shoulders

Of our greats

I’m Patty Mills with the rock

Cathy Freeman off the blocks

Lionel Rose against the odds

Show ‘em what I got,

All thanks to the mob (yeah)

I’m Kiah Simon from the box

Ash Barty with the shot

Adam Goodes what you got

Show em where I’m from

I do it for the mob (yeah)

Yeah I'm the calm before the storm

The history never taught

I'm the first to make it possible

Just to prove that it's possible

I'm the flag with my fist up 'fist UP'

A story teller in my native tongue

The footprints they walk in

I'm the shoulder that they stand on

I planted seeds never know its shade

So my mob can know its shade today

I'm the blood that was spilt warrior never yield

Gonna make a change today

That's why we celebrate our greats

and the ones who paved the way

They could never take your voice away

We the echoes of their voice today

When I grow older

They gonna know my name

Standing on the shoulders

Of Our Greats

Cause I know where I belong

I’m a show ‘em, black and strong

Standing on the shoulders

Of our greats

My feet won't fail me now

With my mob all around

if I fall down they'll lift me up so I can stand my ground

My elders they surround and I can make them proud

For all my people so I sing it loud

When I grow older

They gonna know my name

Standing on the shoulders

Of Our Greats

Cause I know where belong

I’m a show ‘em, black and strong

Standing on the shoulders

Of our greats

I dream through

And I speak through you

Cause our voices

Are still singing true

And tomorrow

Is ours to make

With loud voices

This one’s for The Greats
