64 Bars Dallas Woods Lyrics :

at age 7 found connection with the place i call home
were muddy water and fresh air was our favourite cologne
Bastion cockburn ranges cambridge golf the 5 rivers  
that sight alone reminds ancestors are still with us
fresh fish for dinner, goanna turkey for dinner
hunt in packs coz we don’t want that juwadi to get us
walking down the highway the tourist are taking pictures
i do now but back then i really never use to get it 
how beautiful and lucky we are to call this place home
come to think about it thats why we never  stayed home 
always out and about remember St Joes days 
mango tree were we ate grassles  oval we play 
final bell lions park the next stop
salty plums sugar tamerine  and pop rocks 
the boys play football  the girls play hop scotch 
any beast drive past we yell make it drop drop 
wheels spin budoof when we was little kids 
hat fights turn real when we little kids 
street lights meant home when we were little kids
dark time still not home yeah we were little shits
true god! fast forward a few years 
state school familiar faces and new peers 
went from wearing blue to  a orange uniform 
that moment there a unit formed 
cliff kid for life Wyndham boy till i die
no text message just flick your hand in the sky 
thats hi thats bye what now e rite
english kriol 2 worlds hand signs 
cajup, young men always up to something 
day break at the bakery doing nothing 
cruising round  town with the bros  music pumping
or tryna find us a wifey window jumping
teenagers with no favours all we had was the night 
the way u earn your stripes is the way u handled a fight
we knew the protocole so to the elders polite 
respect ur elders or they knock out ur lights its a cultural right 
my big bros got a licence thats dangerous
my big bros 18+ thats dangerous 
all we got is open road thats dangerous 
full tank full esky were they taking us 
now thats the question that they wanna know
kiss my mum and nan tell em that  i gotta go 
country music playing as soon as we hit the road 
hate country music were I’m from not a single soul
well school didn’t finish it wasn’t good with listening 
knew it was for me common sense was kicking in
clear as day I’m different I’m hoping in the way
traveling the country while my buddas finish tenth grade 
4 states in ten days economy no leg space
homesick but living in the moment was my best trait
the thing i seen at the age of sixteen type of things u consider a dream 
mr work hard play hard same routine 
sometimes a little too hard but whats life with out battle scars 
id make it home every once in a while 
and every single time welcomed home with a smile
my friends be growing up quick 
a few of them having kids 
i lost a few on the way that feeling really is shit 
for that reason won’t quit 
wyndham made like this 
turned a boy to warrior 
like the river a king 
a little message for the next gen head up high
coz u can’t make a difference if ur never gonna try peace out

Dallas Woods

At a young age Dallas Woods developed the uncanny ability to find humour in the most unlikely places. Poverty, suicide, abuses of all kinds are a common theme in his life yet its relentless exposure has provided him with the mettle to cut-through society’s demons so he can apply words to his tsunami of feelings and thoughts. Dallas writes with a wealth of humility, knowledge and experience; it’s his coping mechanism.

A Noongar man raised in the E.K. [Wyndham – East Kimberley] Dallas is a quintessential underdog who dropped out of school at age 14; he was raised without a father figure and ran AMOK headed straight for the justice system. Luckily for him in 2007 the Indigenous Hip Hop Projects came through town at a formative moment and spotted this wayward kid’s talent and cheeky knack for word play. 
Dallas would pop up in break-dance cyphers during after-school sessions and completely blew the minds of the Indigenous Hip Hop Projects [IHHP] facilitators with his energy and dance moves that “were literally electric”. Wanting to join the IHHP family, despite there be now room for him to join the gang on tour, Dallas’ mother offered their family car for Dallas to go on the intensive 3 week dance tour. Prison was no longer the only option. In those three weeks ‘Halls Creek’ [Kimberley WA] Dallas’ work began to make an impact. Seeing his value as a mentor particularly with at risk kids whom Dallas has an amazing ability to connect with he was engaged as a key IHHP facilitator. He went on to win the East Kimberley Young Achiever Award at the age of 15 in 2009.  In 2016 he was on the song-writing team for the NIMA award-winning track titled Break the Silence raising awareness for White Ribbon. Since this time Dallas has visited over 250 communities and earned a feature role on Move it Mob style [ABC 3]. 
In 2014 he met Danzal Baker [aka Baker Boy] at an IHHP artist camp in Melbourne, soon after they worked together for the first time on a job in Gove / Dhalinybuy NT. Dallas took Danzal then 17 y.o under his wing empathising with how he was missing home.  It was here that Baker Boy was inspired to start rapping in his own style, started writing songs for the first time with Dallas and ignited the journey that catapulted him to where he is now. The two are staunch friends and continue to write together including Baker Boy’s new single Mr La DiDaDi.  
Dallas decided to move on from the physical demands of dance and started to hone his skills as head MC for IHHP; he was a natural. A Master of Ceremony with the ability to hype an audience beyond the norm. A few steps further Dallas releases his debut track 9 x out of 10, continues to write and perform with Baker Boy and has plans in the works to release an EP to coincide with his support slot on Baker Boy’s national tour this May and June.
