[Intro]
[Chorus]
When I grow older, they're going to know my name,
Standing on shoulders of our greats,
'Cause I know where I belong, I'ma show, I'm black and strong,
Standing on shoulders of our greats.
[Verse 1]
Yeah, I'm Cathy hunting Gold, (Hunting Gold),
Uncle Mackey in my soul, (In my soul),
The greatest story never sold,
Got a price on my head 'cause fortune favours the bold,
Look, (Look),
I'm shooting through the ceiling, black and proud, the only feeling,
I instill into my children, and I see the future path,
I done my part and now I'm chilling,
I invested in the mob, I let my people in the building,
I didn't fold, I didn't quit, (I didn't quit),
I can see the torch, now it's lit, (Now it's lit),
Even when my back against the wall, (Against the wall),
I chose the fire, then I rise above it all, (Rise above it all),
Was used to having no fixed address, (No fixed address),
Now there's coloured stones on my neck, (On my neck),
Off the pain that I felt, 'cause I told my younger self.
[Chorus]
When I grow older, they're going to know my name,
Standing on shoulders of our greats,
'Cause I know where I belong, I'ma show, I'm black and strong,
Standing on shoulders of our greats.
[Post-Chorus]
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 shots,
Adam Goodes what you got, show em where I'm from,
I do it for the mob, yeah.
[Verse 2]
Yeah, I'm the calm before the storm, (My mob),
The history never taught, (My mob),
I'm the first to make it possible, (My mob),
Just to prove that it's possible, (My mob),
I'm the flag with my fist up, (Fist up),
A storyteller in my native tongue,
The footprints that they walk in,
I'm the shoulders that they stand on,
I planted seeds, never know a shade, (Ooh-ooh),
So my mob can always say today,
I'm the blood that was spilled, warriors 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.
[Chorus]
When I grow older,
[Chorus]
When I grow older, they're going to know my name,
Standing on shoulders of our greats,
'Cause I know where I belong, I'ma show, I'm black and strong,
Standing on shoulders of our greats.
[Bridge]
My feet won't fail me now,
With my mob all around,
If I fall down, they'll leave me up so I can stand my ground,
My elders they surround,
And I can make them proud,
For all my people,
So I'll sing it loud.
[Chorus]
When I grow older, they're going to know my name,
Standing on shoulders of our greats, (Oh, yeah),
'Cause I know where I belong, I'ma show, I'm black and strong,
Standing on shoulders, (Ooh-ooh), of our greats, (Of our greats).
[Outro]
I'll dream for you, and I speak for you,
'Cause our voices are still standing true,
And tomorrow, is ours to make,
Lift our voices, this one's for the greats.
