Cowboys, Indians, Aliens & Ninjas

I was once a ninja warrior, raised as a Paiute boy
I used to fight off aliens, disguised as a cowboy
They invaded the Owens Valley
Resolved to get our paya
They marched our people out, they threatened us with fiya, uh-huh
They put us on the reservations, tried to douse out our spirits
But the nuumu are strong, resilient people of the land we feel it
And when the Ancestors talk, when the Ancestors talk, We listen, We listen
And when the spirit says dance, when the spirit says dance, we steppin
These days, these days, everybody wanna be an inspiration, yes
These days, these days, these days everybody
Everybody, everybody, everybody wanna be an inspiration, yep
To inspire the next generation of writers and thinkers, doers and shakers
Movers and makers, of big things, big dreams
Who bringin in a new world with old dreams
I was raised among the rule breakers and among the risk takers on the reservation taken
Learning ways ancient yet ageless as the present moment, hold it
In your awareness, don't be careless
We can never own it
Maybe they'll clone it
Or just record it
And thats as close as your children will get
Or your grandchildren not yet born
Good morning, Good day, and Good night
Alright
