Lost Cause

Spirit of an ancient warrior and blood of a savage
Scar of the ancestor remember small pox blankets
Today our people vanish
Where are the braves? the people are saddened
The veils been lifting
The wheat is shifting
Violent children equals no hope for the missing
Guide innocent behavior
Cause every spirit come from our savior
Tree of life Kechi Manitou, our Creator
Use to lift alpines for bags of green and a bit of money
Living life like nothing was wrong and everything was funny
Sawing off a tooly while sipping on a 40
Waking up at night and thinking that its morning
Spray painting bikes and calling 2nds on drags
Drinking protein shakes and taking megabolic packs
B&E spree, and ended up in juvie
Found the red path now my past
Is so far away from me

I wake up in the morning thankful for my blessing
Another day on the res learn something new
See the lesson
I know we are all here for a reason I'm just trying
To share the message
Sometimes real pain comes along to test you
We go we grow we flow we hit road blocks
And sometimes I mean sometimes
We go too fast and end up in the ditch
But we alive yo, live like you were dying

Another cloudy day and rain coming down
At night the clouds fade and the stars come up
Sitting alone having a smoke
What's my next move maybe do a show
Always thinking of her and October
Day dream at times take my daughters out for supper
System gives us no chance
Odd jobs here and there still buried my plans
Something else came up we getting back the sacred sun dance
Sacred sweat lodge thank You grandmother bear clan
Swampy Aninew Turtle Island
This is who we be from the beginning
There's a fire inside and it's rising
Like a phoenix out the ashes
I put it out there and made some racket
I ain't afraid the flesh was never me
I come from Creator before my lungs could breath
Purification earth shaking
Skins waking empire breaking
People the clay with
Creator's sacred teachings

I wake up in the morning thankful for my blessings
Another day on the res something new
See the lesson
I know we here for a reason
I'm trying to share the message
Sometimes real pain comes along to test us
We go we grow we flow we hit road blocks
Sometimes and I mean sometimes
We go too fast and end up in the ditch
But we alive yo, live like you were dying

The backward language the warlike peoples brought here
Is double sided they hide it foggy and unclear
They say this is that and that is this
They get us to comply with witch craft while cuffed at the wrist
A summons is black ceremony agreeing to be dead
Shareholder of no rights infant tree need help
Give us alchemy, pills for health
They use enter the containers mentality entertainment
To cast spells
A witch writes the script with a holly tree pen
And they wait for a full moon to call evil to the documents
Then they get the lost souls with spirits to act
Spirits control the world you got to re-remember that
In the good book it says the dragons whores n' beasts
Will use sorcery
They stole Creator's sacred teachings and the sacred tree
Turtle Island, Swampy Cree Aninew Territory

I wake up in the morning thankful for my blessings
Good day tribe we alive good vibes best wish's
I know we here for a reason I'm just trying
To send the message
Sometimes real pain comes along and tests us
We go we grow we flow we hit road blocks
Sometimes and I mean sometimes
We go too fast and end up in the ditch
But we alive yo, live like you were dying
