Bigger Than School Stuff

Tyrone, all our families used to speak

that language here

And then slowly people stopped

They lost it.

It got taken away or they forgot it

or it got covered up by that shame

We’re lucky we still go it

But if we make people shame for speaking that language,

they’re not gonna speak it

And then we won’t have it anymore

And our mob will get really lonely for that language

Like lots of us already are

And this country, our country that we’re on here,

It gets really lonely for that language too

Do you understand?
