Anishinaa Bae

Don't betray your destiny
Spirit Plate is coming

Along time ago there was this beautiful bae
Named Winona
And I'm gonna explain
This tragic love story to ya
She gave birth to the greatest teacher
But let's go back to before she was a leader

There was these two sisters
That's living on the moon
Started fighting over one piece to make them cute
One shoved the other off and fell to the earth
Fell in the Great Lakes, molded up the dirt

Given the place, it's shape, fall straight to the underground
Down to the bottom of the water
Discouraged, didn't wanna live life ain't longer
Medicine bag emptied all over
She got nothing to offer

She feeling really lonely
In the water really deeply
She can't really feel a thing
This heart break has a sting

Then the bear saw what happened
He felt she was saddened
He kept asking if she'd leave the deep end
He could teach her how the earth worked
And learn the secrets
He didn't leave her abandoned
He offered friendly attachments

She's always gone, cuz she floats with the wind
She don't care, she just tryna live
She said good bye to her windy bae
Because in life we all die one day

Her name was nokomis his name was bear
He told her be careful theres some powerful spirits down there
Them serpents aren't too nice and you fell from the sky
That's an opposition of your relatives in your life

So she left the depression and sadness and went with Mukwa
That's the bears real name, and his people loves ya
The great grandfather with a great grandmother
The bear and the nokomis shared life with each other

And of course she fell in love with him
Fixed her the greatest lodge she ever been in
Beautiful life style fix, combined gardens
Half spirit, half being from within, the bond started

She pregnant all of a sudden
Lots of thunder and lightening
The serpents felt it too
And they don't like it
Everyone felt the power from the great grandmother
Now it's time to give birth to nenabozho's mother

She's always gone, cuz she floats with the wind
She don't care, she just tryna live
She said good bye to her windy bae
Because in life we all die one day

And when Wenona arrives, she the baddest bae alive
From the water in the ground to the lightening in the sky
She brought the gifts of fasting to the people
From the stars and the earth, that's her strength, against the evil

Her daddy was the bear and her mother was from the moon
Wenona grew up fast, no one tells her what to do
So she fell in love with that western wind when he comes through
So sweet to him they become each others boos

Deep love, but her parents gave her a warning
It's super hard to love when that wind starts storming
Wenona got pregnant by the western wind
And this is another story of how it all begins

She got abandoned, gone with the wind badly
She carried 4 babies gladly
Brought nenabozho to this planet
Appeared as a rabbit
Protected in the cedar basket
And that's what happened
Anishinaabae magic

She's always gone, cuz she floats with the wind
She don't care, she just tryna live
She said good bye to her windy bae
Because in life we all die one day

She got abandoned, gone with the wind badly
She carried 4 babies gladly
Brought nenabozho to this planet
Appeared as a rabbit
Protected in the cedar basket
And that's what happened
Anishinaabae magic

She's always gone, cuz she floats with the wind
She don't care, she just tryna live
She said good bye to her windy bae
Because in life we all die one day
