First Nation

[Intro] Bow to the mountains Cleanse in the river flow Let your ancestors know That you are here to stay Wash in the sun's light Casting shadows on your birthright Tell you ancestors That you are hear to stay [Verse 1] It's the land that governs the man Mana whenua Without it we got nothing Our essence engrained in the snow Don't degrade me I ain't no westernized Eskimo Money over everything Seems to be a common thread Can we have a talk instead? The nativе to the corporate head Wе are the guardians Protect for the future generations We are the land We are the sea We are the first nation [Verse 2] My brothers, my sisters to the north of the turtle Viva America I hear you I feel you I see you Same shit happened to me too We were beaten for speaking our native tongue While you were sent to schools of elimination Find the root we find the cause Separate us till we aren't a force There ain't nothing more dangerous Then a native man who knows who he is They pushed us for centuries But we’ll remain till the end of days I am the land The land is me I am the first nation [Bridge] We must fight We must fight, we must fight Till kingdom come, kingdom come Shamans pray Shamans pray On the moon and the sun Chase away Chase away, chase away Babylon Babylon Yes we will Yes we will Overcome, overcome [Verse 1 (Reprise)] It's the land that governs the man Without it we got nothing We got nothing We got nothing We got nothing [Outro] Bow to the mountains Cleanse in the river flow Let your ancestors know that you are here to stay Wash in the sun's light Casting shadows on your birthright Tell you ancestors that you ain't going nowhere You ain't going nowhere That you ain't going nowhere That you ain't going nowhere That you ain't going nowhere That you ain't going nowhere
