Lyrics Warrior People - Nahko and Medicine For The People

Warrior People

Warrior people
Warrior, warrior people
I am indigenous original resistance
I’m gonna need assistance
If I’ma make a difference
Used to be restless
Now I am relentless
I teach my children who to trust and how to listen
Are you listenin'
Are you, are you listenin'
Are you listenin'
Are you, are you listenin'
Are you listenin'
Are you, are you listenin'
I teach my children who to trust and how to listen
I am an indian
I’m puerto rican
I’m filipino
I live in hilo
Went to the heavens
Came back a stallion
Now I am riding into the storm
The storm, the storm, the storm, the storm
Thunder beings carry me home
I am a raven, I am a buckskin
I am a killer whale, I am a lion
I am a panther, I am coyote
I’m just a human being on another fucking journey
I’m on a journey, on a journey
I’m on a journey, on a journey
I’m on a journey, on a journey
I’m just a human being on another fucking journey
Well, I will learn to be peaceful
But I keep my knife at my side
And I will pray for compassion
But if war comes to my door, you know I will be blastin'
Warrior mentality, my responsibility
Bring it to my people, now holla if you’re feelin' me
Feelin' me, feelin' me
Feelin' me, feelin' me, yeah
Feelin' me, feelin' me
Feelin' me, feelin' me, yeah
Feelin' me, feelin' me
Feelin' me, feelin' me, yeah
Feelin' me, feelin' me
Feelin' me, feelin' me, yeah
I am an indian, I’ve been betrayin'
Sold my heritage so I could get of reservation
Can I blame my situation, my situation?
I come from a long line of people in displacement
I am an indian, I’m on a mission
These times definitely call for certain kinds of patience
I’m changin', it’s amazin'
Every day is a new day for this indian in training
I am a hustler, got all kinds of customers
People need their medicine
This music promotes consicousness
Past, present, future tense
All the healing elements
Everything you do in life is definitely relevant
Warrior people
Warrior, warrior people
Warrior people
Warrior, warrior people
Warrior people
Warrior, warrior people
Makin' the best of peace with the strength of an eagle
Warrior people
Warrior, warrior people
Warrior people
Warrior, warrior people
Warrior people
Warrior, warrior people
Makin' the best of peace, yes ambitiousness is lethal
I will learn to be peaceful
But I keep my knife at my side
I will pray for compassion
But if war comes to my door, you know I will be blastin'
Warrior mentality, my responsibility
Bring it to my people, now holla if you’re feelin' me
Feelin' me, feelin' me
Feelin' me, feelin' me, yeah
Feelin' me, feelin' me
Feelin' me, feelin' me, yeah
Feelin' me, feelin' me
Feelin' me, feelin' me, yeah
Feelin' me, feelin' me
Feelin' me, feelin' me, yeah
I have two mothers, two beautiful mothers
One of them is brown and on of them is white
One of them taught me to be peaceful
One of them taught me how to fight
Now I put the two together and I know wrong from right
I have two fathers, two beautiful fathers
One of them is brown and on of them is white
One of them taught me how to sing, one of them taught me how to write
Now I put the two together and I know wrong from right
I am a white man, I raped my children
I am a black man, I killed an african
I am a woman, I am a muslim
I was raised christian, now I am forgiven
Saved by native wisdom, I follow my traditions
I teach my children they are loved and are forgiven
Are you listenin'
Are you, are you listenin'
Are you listenin'
Are you, are you listenin'
Are you listenin'
Are you, are you listenin'
I teach my children who to trust and how to listen
