Maria Tallchief (feat. Calina Lawrence)

My syllables tap the beat
Like a ballerina
Sway in the Morning said
Your boy sound like a hyena
Tried to told 'em I was
Molded for this rap arena
Poetic flowing with my feet up
Like I was Maria

They're sipping on sangria
Claiming we're the alcoholics
They're simpin' really cause
We're capable of astronautics
And anything we put our
Native minds and grinds to
Just trust your heart Native child
And passion finds you

Stand tall like Maria
Fly like a firebird
Dream like your destined to
Then bow like a ballerina

Yolo, we might as well
Be some super Natives
Nothing to it but to do it
No superlatives
Life's a struggle yeah
We all go through it Native
Gotta bounce back and
Have a ball like a hooping Native

I come from actors and dancers
And prayers answered
I'm a seed planted from
Talented ancestors
The land blessed us
We the descendants
Natural adapters
Recognize our grammas dreamt this

Our gifts exist
We weave baskets like
Fingers of a pianist
Our
Feet manage to teach our kids to
Keep trying to
Leap and sing
And

Stand tall like Maria
Fly like a firebird
Dream like your destined to
Then bow like a ballerina

Yolo, we might as well
Be some super Natives
Nothing to it but to do it
No superlatives
Life's a struggle yeah
We all go through it Native
Gotta bounce back and
Have a ball like a hooping Native

Like the beautiful
Motion of fancy dancer feet
She toe tapped the floor
With elegance Maria Tallchief
I replicate your glow with
Bars I'm going hard free
Of inhibitions visions of
Excellency my eye sees

It's the essence of our
Spirits and it's in our blood
They invented wine and
Spirits fam we ain't the drunks
They had to give our people
Poison just to dim our shine
When you get back in touch
With you then you'll be true to thine

Stand tall like Maria
Fly like a firebird
Dream like your destined to
Then bow like a ballerina
