 Struggling with Ancestor? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!

The story gets told, as the wind turns cold, I begin to shudder
Sitting at my desk, heart sink into my chest, I can feel it flutter
Think I hear my Ancestors
We walk the same path as our Elders, the spirit never left us,

I went looking for some answers, I found Lessons
By the riverbed, is my reflection
Brad Steadman guide me to a direction
Walking this River to comprehend my connection

The road back, what a blessing,
gonna take me a while to convey the message
I can feel your presence, no question 
that Warrior spirit not to be messed with

I know you can hear me now
I know you can see me now
I know you can feel me now
I know that you're with me now
show us the way 

.. been a coupla times, I got your sign, that's
Why I'm, able to shine, stay on my grind, ay
Life ay, keeping confined, Monday to Friday 
Criticised, Pay em no mind, to what they might say,

Visitors, I hear your call, come from the fireplace
9AM in the morn', wake on a Bright Day,
I take pride in these high, spi4rited words,
The time, tick on the clock, my mind, free as a bird,

And it's like that, Karma comin' Right Back, tell me where the
Mic's At, Tell me bout your Cotton farm, tell me bout your
Buy Back, Politicickin putting up a fight, then we
Fight Back, If you love the Country you would care about the

Fish Traps, Celebrate our people, Celebrate
Resilience, unlearn your Evils, Mother from the
Philippines, come to build, Family, Gadigal
Country, call it Ground Zero,

Every single town, is a crime scene, bloody and gory, 
Policy can tear us all apart in its glory,
80, 000 years, one, hell of a story,
It's Ours to tell, no one telling' it for me,
Nothin I'm saying on these, tracks are new, we
All gotta do what we each have to do
Learn your past at least that's truth, cause
All of these rivers they lead back to you
