MY A.I.M. CREED

and so there my life began
the moment I stepped back in
the reservation land
since I was a kid

I am trynna win
all that we can
because when there is nothing left
we will lose ourselves again.

Seven Generations since
and we try to feel all of this
and those of us that do
we are the strong
we are the few.

caught up in the speed of time,
they have their life and I have mine.

I do all I can
to bring it all back,
not the language
not the land,
because I can"t
and I can"t restore the traditions

even though I am right there with them.

the role that I try to play
is to be aware of all our pain
and to do something about it
even though we sometimes doubt it

we are meant to hold our eyes
on the skies
to live beyond our physical lives
even though we all try to hide
inside our addictions
we must not let our hearts die
with them

Our Spirits man! Our Spirits!

...that is why. that is why.

and I feel bad for being a hypocrite
I smoke weed, fuck, drink
and all that other shit
but there is one thing I try to keep alive
I try to keep myself strong and built inside

...that is why. that is why.

I think it"s really fucked up
how our brothers, cousins, and uncles
always seemed to get jumped
just because of vengeance and greed

can"t you see? can"t you see?
It"s violent thoughts
that bring such tragedy

bear with me while I try to preach
a young unknown musician
giving a speech

so we can eventually gain
all the tools that we really need

so that when we die




...we will succeed.
