Tribal

(In NASKAPI)
Neke Shutshiinan (We will be strong)
Neke mashiihanan nutum tshakuan kauapinimakuiiach
(We will fight everything they throw at us)
Ninan ou Naskapi iiyuch (We are the Naskapi people)

Told them all from day one
What matters, don't say done
Never fade away once
Born with the mic, and break some
This indigenous in the rez
Seen as a savage, and that's till the death
You don't wanna have it, I bet that'll be the one you regret
Still represent!

Tshe ke mamuinu, muk stahuikunoo
(We will come together, but only to get hurt)
I'm savage, I know and I been at it so long, I aint ever gone

Tshe kui shutshenu, mentshi awhuykoon
(We need to be strong, so I wont be hurt)
We savage, I know it, never ask if we're ever done

Can't you see me now?
Speakin up with no one around
Full blooded half breed blasting back with the rap that I been laying down
Nomads that can't be found, gotta be tribal with that sound
Neyhey nii ouu eeyou (Yes, I'm a Native)
Uan ou tshiuau, stiish michisamitnau (Who are you? I really don't know)
So, it's like that
Native with no life hack
Stolen everything about us
Now we fight back
Oh, It's like that
Home invaders side tracked
Rose from the ground up
To bring them down n fight back

Tshe ke mamuinu, muk stahuikunoo
(We will come together, but only to get hurt)
I'm savage, I know and I been at it so long, I aint ever gone

Tshe kui shutshenu, mentshi awhuykoon
(We need to be strong, so I wont be hurt)
We savage, I know it, never ask if we're ever done

I do it daily, going hard with this
Indigenous natives from the north
Climbing the highest peek we never quit
Back with all of them flows, never leaving out
My nation my home, believe in my name I gain
The strength again, beginning to break my goals
Don't wanna be falling, I creep and im coming up
Taking advantage we landed now lifting up
Every level so challenging and I keep battling
For the whole family gathering knowledge and more
Still everyday im at war, putting my
People naskapi nation on the atlas, tryna conquer the world

Tshe ke mamuinu, muk stahuikunoo
(We will come together, but only to get hurt)
I'm savage, I know and I been at it so long, I aint ever gone

Tshe kui shutshenu, mentshi awhuykoon
(We need to be strong, so I wont be hurt)
We savage, I know it, never ask if we're ever done

We the Naskapi Nation
A group of people, Indigenous
Connected to one another. Connected to an idea
We stay humble
We Tribal
