Zack De La Rouda - Rewild or Die

My Ancestors

Yeah
It's Rewild Or Die
I am mad
I am mad on behalf of my ancestors
On behalf of my ancestors
Yeah, I'm mad on behalf of my ancestors
Yeah, I'm mad on behalf of my ancestors

I am mad on behalf of my ancestors, yeah
On behalf of my ancestors
Yeah, I'm mad on behalf of my ancestors
I am mad

I'm mad on behalf of my ancestors
Cause my grandparents' grandparents' grandparents' grandparents
Had more love for this damn planet
Than a hundred of us young dumb ungrateful bastards
Messing with our heritage
I'm unabashedly angry
At the way we smash what they gave freely
I ain't really a conservative
It's not traditions that I wanna preserve
I'm tryna stop killing
All the people who used to live their lives here -
Raised a couple babies till eventually they died here
They're basically the reason you and I are here
And I ain't chilling while we kiss 'em all goodbye
I'm on blast on behalf of my ancestors
Cause they ain't worked very hard
But they was hard working as nothing
And I'll be damned if they all gon get eradicated
If they wanna ask why I'm mad then I tell 'em

I am mad on behalf of my ancestors
On behalf of my ancestors
Yeah, I'm mad on behalf of my ancestors
I am mad on behalf of my ancestors

On behalf of my ancestors
Yeah, I'm mad on behalf of my ancestors
On behalf of my ancestors
I am mad on behalf of my ancestors

Look
They assumed that when they would be erased
They would leave a legacy for the ones who'd come after 'em
They always gave for the next seven generations
We take our ancestor's land without asking 'em
We make large dams, pave all the ground -
We was running of gas, now we're drilling in the tar sands
We working jobs to get paper for bills.
Our ancestors didn't have money, and they still lived well
The planet struggles but we ain't budging
We let the shit hit the fan like it's nothing and we say "fuck it."
This is the desert before the deluge, and the rain's coming
I gone mad, bout to break something
But lately I'm learning, cause I been advocating
For my ancestors' murderers' deaths
That's in the past, though, and the world's still turning
So now I'll be happy on behalf of my kids

I'll be happy on behalf of my kids
On behalf of my kids
I'll be happy on behalf of my kids
I'ma be happy on behalf of my kids

I'm mad on behalf of my ancestors
And I'ma be happy on behalf of my kids
I'm mad on behalf of my ancestors
And I'ma be happy on behalf of my kids
