Blak Matriarchy is a testament to Blak women… That through all the pain and trauma we carry we cannot be broken and we are still here! It’s a middle finger to all the people who discriminated against me and who were racist towards me growing up, a testimony to the strength I hold within myself and the power I feel as a Malyangapa, Barkindji woman.

LYRICS
(I am tired of begging and asking for our humanity. When is it enough?)
Can’t colonise my blak mind
I’m from the Dreamtime, I go back
They committed genocide through my tracks
They raped our mothers lessened by black
They brought the violence when they attacked
I ain’t here to start trouble, I’m just here to state facts
You can’t paint me how you wanna paint cracks
And I’m tied to my mob, got my mob on my back (HAHHH)
Waratahs are covered in blood
White-washing our history to cover it up
Proof is all in the pudding
Cuz this nation couldn’t give a fuck about us
But we survive’ unceded undivided
Our people stay fighting cause the flame is ignited
We stay righteous we cannot be silenced
Cause silence is violence, the reason we’re divided
And they choose not to digest the truth
Instead they just go ahead and dilute our youth
You only like the system ‘cause it just suits you
Give a fuck about the law, yeah I’d rather grass roots
Blak to the bone, blak to the busy!
Mob on my back, yeah they all rock with me
Bakaa in my blood, that river flow through me
I’m matriarchal bloodline 120
This is for blak matriarchs
This for my sisters who lived in the dark
This for my sisters who carry our past on their shoulders
This is for blak matriarchs
This is all of our women
This for all of our children
Couldn’t care less ‘bout the monarch
Ima set fire to the kingdom
I’m coming for them
All hail to blak matriarchs
I’m the pain and the proof
The history that lays out the truth
And they couldn’t walk a mile in our shoes
Tell us to go bush when they all introduced
Fuck it, we’ve been here for too long
Matriarchy blood, yeah I been built strong
Song lines deep, yeah it got me singing songs
Cause I can’t forget where I came from!
Barkindji country, Mungo man
Pass it to my kids, tell em this your land
I came from the dirt, go back in red sand
Desert river Nhuungku, I’m proud of who I am
Creator created me tough (HA)
And I’m calling out all your bluffs
Saying the past is all in the past
Well that dark past still lives in my mum
I stay radical I know the truth
Couldn’t kill my Ancestors, I’m the proof
I know I still got some screws loose
But my third eyes open and I’m looking right through
Looking at you
Nhuungku right here gonna do what it do
So my little blak seeds ain’t got to prove shit to you
Ngayti sent me gone bud what do?!
3% me hold it down for the few
This is for blak matriarchs
This for my sisters who lived in the dark
This for my sisters who carry our past on their shoulders
This is for blak matriarchs
This is for all of our women
This for all of our children,
Couldn’t care less ‘bout the monarch
Ima set fire to the kingdom I’m coming for them
All hail to blak matriarchs
(You know I have a culture, I am a cultured person. Don’t try and suppress me and don’t call me a problem! I have never left my country. I am not the problem.)
