Save the villages, won't let a colonizer invade the premises I pray for those they slayed when they said they'd take no prisoners The way they depicted us, savages, merciless, tainted and primitive The faces of immigrants reclaiming equivalence awaken all listeners I'm peaceful, native indigenous as I give thanks to creator's omnipotence If a racist could taste his own ignorance the hatred is fatal and venomous Our original ways are sacred and different from what today's religion is Living today and won't trade our traditions for your mission embracing our lineage I pray for my native leaders, favorite teachers, sage and cedar Smoking through the bass and speakers thank the healers, sacred creatures Awaken dreamers bury arrow headed blade and cleavers For the tainted angel wingers with artificial facial features We ancient keepers seeds and roots will feed us through the trees and juice And bring you food like mama did between the womb and feed us too Two believers bring you proof and speak the truth to lead us through Between the seams, I see the sea no avatar, but I dream in blue We are the warriors, sheep herders, re-birthers and weavers Nomadic, notorious, earth nurtures the searchers and seekers She take you deeper through the portal with orca no snorkel Fifth world, I'm orbiting, reforming, reborn as immortal Award you, the invitation is cordial and formal Legend told orally my aura be turquoise and coral Absorb the story, never ending, we soar on a dorsal Over the borders, nature's order is gorgeous, resourceful Save the villages, won't let a colonizer invade the premises I pray for those they slayed when they said they'd take no prisoners The way they depicted us, savages, merciless, tainted and primitive The faces of immigrants reclaiming equivalence awaken all listeners I'm peaceful, native, indigenous, as I give thanks to creator's omnipotence If a racist could taste his own ignorance, the hatred is fatal and venomous Our original ways are sacred and different from what today's religion is Living today and won't trade our traditions for your mission, embracing our lineage I wrote this on a solstice, the ocean was floating higher Glowing vibrant, my homie and bro invoked the 49er Around an open fire, hoping no one would open fire Spark your lighter, get closer with warmer while we scorching brighter Your wood supplier by the cipher with a telescope I listened when the elders spoke that wisdom you can smell the oak I woke up, I rolled up, creator bless my body Diyin Dine'é godly respect the Anasazi We are the warriors, sheep herders, re-birthers and weavers Nomadic, notorious, earth nurtures the searchers and seekers She take you deeper through the portal with orca no snorkel Fifth world I'm orbiting reforming reborn as immortal Award you, the invitation is cordial and formal Legend told orally, my aura be turquoise and coral Absorb the story, never ending, we soar on a dorsal Over the borders, nature's order is gorgeous resourceful All lyrics written & performed by Christopher A.
