Troy Kingi - First Nation lyrics
[Troy Kingi - First Nation lyrics]
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
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
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
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
It's the land that governs the man
Without it we got nothing we got nothing
We got nothing we got nothing
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
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
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
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

But we’ll remain till the end of days
I am the land the land is me

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
