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
