Rez Life in Rosebud. this is MY American Indian Movement. |
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. |
