My Native People Lyrics by Hellnback

#Fourteen91

2018

[Spoken Word: Hellnback]
My native people, my dear native people
Treated second-string to them people in charge of them steeples
Religious attributes regurgitated among every reservation to avoid the fact that we struggled to be deemed lower-classes and segregated
Tribes destroyed and separated
Women and children forcibly fornicated
Harper issued an apology on behalf of the white people to whom which she is related
I bet they feelin' vindicated like saying sorry will wash it all away
Like every sin that was committed against my ancestors can be blamed on the priest having a bad day
"Blame it on the era," I don't buy that one bit
'Cause the things that I'm speaking on happen still present-day life shit
Stories still swept under the rug that colonialism has provided
You dyin' at alarmin' rates who will never know the joy of buyin' a car and racking up the mileage
Whose stories stopped before they can understand growing up's true meaning
For the ones who will never experience the reality of true feelings
This is for the ones who died while watchin' other tribal members dyin'
For the ones who died protecting their families from the hate and all the lies
For the elders whose pain we'll never fully understand till we see it through they eyes
This is for the brothers and sisters who stand fist-high on the frontlines
Who agree to mace and rubber bullets in the place of handshakes and highs
[?] put our cold voices on some cold ice
I'm never 'fraid to walk alone
'Cause every step is a path my family can follow
'Cause if I don't go first, how they can gauge if the puddle is deep or if it's shallow?
The better tomorrow is buried underneath hard work, blood, sweat, and the other
Sometimes you have to separate yo'self from the pack like
Head down, focused on the music and not a skin color or even the steps of your past brothers
Stay to yourself, quiet, kept, humble, but always on target
Like the one that's put on your back as soon you place product on the market
This is for those natives who hate other races, not understanding that whenever they do that it's reverse racism on everybody that's standing in front of them, man
For the ones who never made it
And I don't mean the big leagues, I mean the ones who froze in the woods tryna get back home to they mom and family
