war chant - dj free leonard lyrics
war chant lyrics:
in background:
chants of another language loosely being interpreted as:
“uh he ha, uh heya ho”
is repeated throughout the whole song
dj free leonard verse 1:
this is spoken
that’s why people feel me
reconcile broken treaties
truth comes off to the awoken
amidst all the rappin and smokin’
is the map on my app jokin’?
it shows no native boundaries
a relative found dreams
in a relatively dry pond
that’s why i’m so fond
of those defending the ground
ancestors died on
sacred burial mounds
construction equals turmoil, profound
a reconstruction using this coil
to s.o.s. “it’s about the oil, in the soil.”
the momentum was on
now the moment is gone
so, we make monuments in the songs
until the movement is won
(the words “is won” repeats two times after the first time it is said.)
dj free leonard chorus:
this hip*hop resistance
an instance to ill*strate
indigenous stance, so consistent
stop the pipeline through the dakotas
heard through the grapevine with my lakota’s
ear to the ground
like i’m laying down
i got your back
like a backpack
chest like a bullet proof vest
word to “chairman fred!”
pep love verse 2:
we travel along they lines
over rivers and cliffs
and belong to the land
that we’re livin’ within…
with bliss
we’re tryin’ (to) keep the movement movin’
in the belly of the beast
let the music soothe you
for the ghetto children
and the wilderness
we’d run over native graves
and villages
not a kick in the side of the city
quick is the ways of the wicked when the n*** get evicted
capitalism
colonialism
while i’m rappin’ to the rhythm
i know they want me in prison
who the f*ck is the bad guy?
they murdered up a bunch of motherf*ckers
just so they could let their flag fly
now i’m supposed to get on my feet and salute
when they sing a little song about the bullsh*t they do?
nah, i’d rather do a native war chant!
rain bullets over ballads
we take the world back
(“back” is echoed and slowly faded three more times.)
dj free leonard chorus:
this hip*hop resistance
an instance to ill*strate
indigenous stance, so consistent
stop the pipeline through the dakotas
heard through the grapevine with my lakota’s
ear to the ground
like i’m laying down
i got your back
like a backpack
chest like a bullet proof vest
word to “chairman fred!”
dj free leonard verse 3:
inspired today
by aim (american indian movement)
and hiero (hieroglyphics)
hooray!
histories lies vary
so, we (go) to the library
for an array of styles and stories
category indigenous injustice allegories
here in oaklandish
in between bizerkly(berkeley) and the city
like a sandwich
which is ohlone land
that remains languished
demand it back
like a loan… dude
with interest in the tune of the people
bring ‘em all home too
got my lance and shield
in the field of dreams
the stance art painting scenes
we never pacify mics
to the pacific heights
who can carry on?
pac’s fight
for all earthizens
in our foresight
dj free leonard chorus:
this hip*hop resistance
an instance to ill*strate
indigenous stance, so consistent
stop the pipeline through the dakotas
heard through the grapevine with my lakota’s
ear to the ground
like i’m laying down
i got your back
like a backpack
chest like a bullet proof vest
word to “chairman fred!”
