Kokum
I think about you at night
And I remember everything
Even when I get high
It's hard to shake lately I've been lost in my mind
Searching for these answers but I'm scared to ask why
Sitting In a sweat
I'm just praying you sit with me
I brought you to my sun dance to keep our living history
Alot of people won't get what I talk on the mic
And those that I can save
Really, I hope you're doing alright
For any native needing something help get through this fight
I know that feeling I get it I know what it's like
On your hands and knees praying
That you need help
"Splashing on the rocks" I'm not feeling myself
If there's a Red Road for Red
I hope this is the route
Talking to deaf ears while puffing the loud
Question these quiet years once and a while
Sitting at your grave site
Missing your smile
Kokum use to say when times was hard
Everything would be okay (Ahkamaymoh)
She would wipe my tears tape up my heart
Now all I do is pray (Ahkamaymoh)
When I do wrong, I can hear her ask
Thought you knew better than that (Ahkamaymoh)
All I want is change if I could bring you back
Cause lately I'm stuck in the past (Ahkamaymoh)
Legit
I forgot how to speak it
It's crazy hear it come through the speakers
I remember we had to keep it a secret
Till I started coming home with these notes from my teachers
I just tried to make some friends
Told me they don't play with dirty natives
I'm not like them
Crying in your lap
But back to school I went
I hope you know I understand
Why I was sent
Because
Every native out here might not live
Without any type of education
Can't blend in
And for my young natives second guessing it
Don't quit
When we stand together it's the best chance we win
I watched nokum raise everybody else's kids
And nokum
I'm sorry
Know we haven't spoke since
The lessons you left me I could never forget
I keep my head held high
Until I see you again.
