Story behind the song
Reservation & Urban Indian Communities are facing new problems alien to our culture. Gang's, Drugs, and Slowly losing our identity are major concerns for our Native American people. It's not easy being a 2012 Native sitting in a Native American History class seeing how good things used to be, to the way they are now. I hope this song makes you wonder, provokes thought, so we all can start working towards Revitalizing our Original Peoples Culture
Lyrics
What you think was gonna happen putting Indians in a city?
mixxing and mingling, now life is really gritty.
the city's doing a project, housing for the Natives.
Urban Environment for little Tribal babies.
putting gas on a fire, Warrior's for hire.
Corporate culture, what ever you desire.
be careful indian boy, keep it under control.
cuz be before you know it, the devils got your soul.
And they knocking at your door, its time for you to go.
don't be looking at your bro cuz he can't help you anymore.
you did it on your own, you and Tyrone,
addicted to the substance made you break into a home.
benefited for the gang, everybody slangs,
everybody's pain is everybodies pain.
listen what I'm saying, tobacco when I'm praying,
We just trying to make it out without going insane.
Pull em out the tribe, put em in the system.
assimilate the bastards, nobody will miss them.
take away the language make em pay to get it back.
let em mingle with the muks, I bet you hear em on the track.
I bet you see em on the block, I bet you see em in the Pen,
I bet you see em on the ave, the vicious cycle never ends.
is what I heard from a friend at the bottom of the barrell,
eating on an apple, at the end of an arrow.
Did you see me on that hat? let me catch you a good dream.
decapitate my likeness you can use it for the team.
did it all for the cream, the American Dream,
Killing the community is easier than it seems.
we're dwindling in numbers, exactly how they planned it.
thinking aint illeagal yet so try and understand it.
You're a (Ghetto Boyee) remember where you from,
you need to re-connect to the language and the drum.
