We Dem Savages (Outro)

I know you heard it in the movies, read it in comment sections Seen it in the old cartoons, hell, you might of been told from your grandparents They're savages, untamed, uncivilized Ill-mannered vulgar heathens But those are all just received ideas, 'cause in my eyes, a savage is the most brave You have to be strong, resilient, and persistent To survive the tribulations thrown in our direction We have stories that need to be heard for us to grow But for some of us it's difficult to tell a story When the past continues with attempts to silence your voice, you know? They tried to wipe us out Take our languages, our culture, our traditions, our future We're still here, and guess what? We're waking up We the seventh generation and we're in a time where the First Peoples are rising up And strengthening our identities through movements That make us stronger with every move we make Some find their strength in protecting the land Providing for their families, dancing like our ancestors Weaving like our grandmothers, painting our hand drums and singing our songs And we're no different We find our strength in hip-hop by exposing the past We were forced upon and embracing our culture, traditions, and languages We rise in unity with our brothers, sisters and allies alike Call us what you want, but we them savages --- We Dem Savages (Outro) - Snotty Nose Rez Kids
