Xavier Rudd, J-MILLA - Ball And Chain

- Ball and Chain is the 3rd and final song I’d like to share ahead of the release of my new album. An honour to have J-Milla write his piece for this song, he is a powerful young voice and I love what he did in this track. It's time to rise and shine, share music in a world that needs it and help each other carry the weight. Can’t wait for you to hear the rest of this record!
Bless

Lyrics:
I been ridin' waves child
Guilt through all my days child
How this place was settled
The murder and the shame
Secrets been exposed child
Truth we must uphold child
Constant fight for justice
To pave the way for change
Living in denial
Goin' through the same old cycle
Penal colony survival
Depending on ya ball and chain
System gonna customise ya
The man he gonna redefine ya
Gotta hunt like a night time spider
Depending on ya ball and chain
I’m a survivor full on energy provider
Sometimes you gotta improvise it
Depending on ya ball and chain
System gonna customise ya
The man he gonna redefine ya
Gotta hunt like a night time spider
Depending on ya ball and chain
Wisdom from the old school
Mixed up with the new school
To make up brand new colours
Paint the walls of change
Get among gotta do your time now
Gotta take it in your stride now
Gotta make what you can come alive now
Depending on your ball and chain
Everyday I lift my spirit up
But see my soul is getting heavy
Pressure on my back and I can barely hold it steady
In a cold world but daily I keep sweatin' cos I’m vulnerable locked in a system that’s so deadly huh
And now I’m racing to build a foundation
To raise a better life for the younger generation
Discriminations we have to change those and mix up all the colours to form a rainbow
Cos this ball and chain has incarcerated my freedom
Born into the system and wasn’t given a reason
Same cycle continues and follows the same sequence
Screaming for change and it’s bringing out inner demons
This ball and chain got me feeling some type of way
Ball and chain got me feeling like I'm a slave
It's like I’m swimming up and an anchors got me drowned
But still I survive and to keep alive I gotta Pray Pray Pray
And if such things were equal
We may find a need to
To mix up all the colours
Break down the walls of race
Get among gotta do your time now
Gotta take it in your stride now
Gotta make what you can come alive now
Depending on your ball and chain
I’m a survivor full on energy provider
Sometimes you gotta improvise it
Depending on ya ball and chain
System gonna customise ya
The man he gonna redefine ya
Gotta hunt like a night time spider
Depending on ya ball and chain

Xavier you will probably never read this but I just need to say that you have no idea how your music has carried me through some, if not the most difficult challenges and transitions in my life. Your music has kept me grounded in my heart space and I will forever be deeply grateful to you for that...Love and deep gratitude from my heart to yours
Beautifull !
I read it!
Mr Rudd abused me in highschool over several years and I have mental issues because of it…his day will come

For the abused you inflicted on many boys at st.Joseph’s College Geelong…
They could use you in Canberra right now Xavier, to lift those vibes, and assist the taking back of our country from The corporate takeover! You warned us years ago, another great song as per usual. THANK YOU 😊
Your right mate, it would be nice if Xavier was vocal on fighting back against the jab mandates & what our country is going through.
