Land Back (feat. Desirae Harp, AshEL SeaSunZ, Quincy Davis & Cheryl Angel)

Land back, land back
Decolonize the earth, where your mind at
Indigenous soul, pray we find that
All around the world in alignment
Land back, land back
Decolonize the earth, where your mind at
All around the world in alignment
See the new dawn on the horizon

Not for sale cuz creation free
Water, air and land not commodity
What the farmer seed, that's the pharmacy
Solidarity, the people sovereignty
Remember that food that we used to grow
In names in a language that we used to know
Indigenous stewards of the natural
Restore the sacred hoop for survival
Being a billionaire is not brilliant
Money print everyday more presidents
There's still reservations on the continent
We relatives, they still call us savages
Community the remedy
Your medicine, please share humility
Land trust, Shuumi tax of Sogorea Te
Sacred sites, all nations coordinate

Land back, land back
Decolonize the earth, where your mind at
All around the world in alignment
See the new dawn on the horizon

Ayin warp - come back to the land
Àt sii àt lisjan nonwen - and water and the Lisjan language
Tirini òokwe àt hinnan - wake up medicine and heart
Tirini šawe àt yišša - wake up song and dance
Ayin himmetka - come back together
Tirini nuunu àt muwekma - wake up story and people
Tirini numa àt tuppentak - wake up the truth and the roundhouses
Horše huššiš tuyuštak - good morning, tuyuštak

We're dependent on our Mother, we are not the owners
And for us to coexist we've got to get to know her
Language and the land shape each other over time
Native tongues wake up medicine deep inside
We were stolen from her lands now she wants us back
Native ceremonies help get us back on track
There is nothing that could keep us from our sacred places
Ancestors call on us, they recognize our faces
Real question is, do we recognize ourselves
Or do we fight over who suffered more from what was dealt
The solution is more than acquired wealth
What we need is a higher quality of health
Everybody benefits from growing native seeds
Every ecosystem thrives in diversity
Native voices rise up for the comeback
Give us back to the land and we heal that

Rematriation, repatriation
Reparation, regeneration
Worldwide liberation
Worldwide illumination
Rematriation, repatriation
Reparation and regeneration
Worldwide liberation
Worldwide illumination

Land back, land back
Decolonize the earth, where your mind at
Indigenous soul, pray we find that
All around the world in alignment
Land back, land back
Decolonize the earth, where your mind at
All around the world in alignment
See the new dawn on the horizon

Remember those seeds that we used to sow
Passed through the dreams that we used to know
Remember those ways of the natural
Giving all praise to the martial
Lineage, she can never be material
Object, no profit, no serial
Codes can be placed on the elements
We show nothing but respect to our relatives
That maintain life, that's so relevant
No corporations should be selling it
With their hands in the pockets of the lobbyist
We stand with the people, no politricks
Restoration, the new prerogative
Only take what we need and leave offerings
All the nations play a part in this
Set up ancient trade routes across continents

Ayin warp - come back to the land
Àt sii àt lisjan nonwen - and water and the Lisjan language
Tirini òokwe àt hinnan - wake up medicine and heart
Tirini šawe àt yišša - wake up song and dance
Ayin himmetka - come back together
Tirini nuunu àt muwekma - wake up story and people
Tirini numa àt tuppentak - wake up the truth and the roundhouses
Horše huššiš tuyuštak - good morning, tuyuštak
Ayin warp - come back to the land
Àt sii àt lisjan nonwen - and water and the Lisjan language
Tirini òokwe àt hinnan - wake up medicine and heart
Tirini šawe àt yišša - wake up song and dance
Ayin himmetka - come back together
Tirini nuunu àt muwekma - wake up story and people
Tirini numa àt tuppentak - wake up the truth and the roundhouses
Horše huššiš tuyuštak - good morning, tuyuštak

Land back is when people get smart
When they get smart they humble themselves
And they realize the destruction that they've caused
Maybe unintentionally
The mining, the dams, the pipelines
Has a cumulative affect
And that affect is devastating
And by returning the land to the people
Who were chosen by Creator to steward those lands
In our own way
We can reestablish the guidelines
So we can re-incorporate safety measures
So we can develop codes to protect these waters
It's not just about returning the land, it's much more than that
And then our future will be secured
