build a bridge - nahko and medicine for the people lyrics
[intro]
said prepare me for, for long battle
i am a witness, hold crystal bullets
i drop the hatchet, you won’t forget it
said prepare me for, for long battle
i am a witness, hold crystal bullets
i drop the hatchet, you won’t forget it
[verse 1]
said, mine eyes have seen nothing but trouble
you must make peace with them gods and the devils
i can be rude, boy, i am not subtle
i tend to sneak in and burst all them bubbles
we are the ones, we been waiting to rumble
i torch my enemies out with a candle
music is the weapon, make empires crumble
we bring them bankers and wealthy to tremble
[chorus]
what we know is what we’re owed
can’t be too careful, shoot flaming arrows
hitting them wicked, burning them bridges
said, what we know is what we owe
can’t be too careful, shoot flaming arrows
hitting them wicked, burning them bridges
[verse 2]
i said i rep the misfits, [not the?] society
we struggle with housing, drugs, and sobriety
we’re not from here, but born here respectively
immigrated ’cause america raped my country
my bridge ain’t built with no white-man money
i’m on indian time, you know you cannot rush me
i can be vicious, malicious, and ugly
a danger to darkness, you better run quickly
[chorus]
what we know is what we’re owed
can’t be too careful, shoot flaming arrows
hitting them wicked, burning them bridges
said, what we know is what we owe
can’t be too careful, shoot flaming arrows
hitting them wicked, burning them bridges, said
[bridge]
i’ve come to build a bridge
so come, let’s build
build, build, build
i have come to build a bridge
so come, let’s build
build, build, build
i have come to build a bridge
so come, let’s build
build, build, build
i have come to build a bridge
so come, let’s build
[verse 3]
i said, life was pretty crazy, i was nine months old
yeah, mama gave me up – fourteen years old
said, i don’t give a sh-t, grandmother, she was so bold
son of that rapist, mama’s body got sold
not to say poppa didn’t have a good soul
’cause he did give me the anger, i was born so cold
raised white-christian in a white neighborhood
there was no bridges for me and my indigenous blood
said i’m confused, ident-ty crisis
indigenous mastery is so timeless
now i’m building bridges so that it will all make sense
why i’m here with the music, so p-ssionate
gotta ride hard or die trying
said, i am a rain cloud, storm, white lightning
i am relentless stop at nothing
i’m el coyote, bridges building
building, building, building
building, building, building
building, building, building
[verse 4]
i said, i rock the one feather on me neck, said
must stay humble, never be like chief headdress
hang the flag upside down, i’m in distress
never take no t-tle out of deepest respect
welcome to aquarius, son, you’re a legend
guardian of the gate, it’s gate number seven
i tame that beast and i ride the dragon
i reincarnate as a wild stallion
[chorus]
what we know is what we’re owed
can’t be too careful, shoot flaming arrows
hitting them wicked, burning them bridges
said, what we know is what we owe
can’t be too careful, shoot flaming arrows
hitting them wicked, burning them bridges, said
[bridge]
i’ve come to build a bridge
so come, let’s build
build, build, build
i have come to build a bridge
so come, let’s build
build, build, build
i have come to build a bridge
so come, let’s build
build, build, build
i have come to build a bridge
so come, let’s build
build, build, build
[outro]
said, my people my earth, my country, my heart
in service forever, a mission to better
my p-ssion, my fist, my heart, open it
reclaim, recover, protect clean water
said, i’ve come to live in peace
so come, let’s live
live, live, live
i have come to live in peace
so come, let’s live
live, live, live
i have come to live in peace
so come, let’s live
live, live, live
i have come to live in peace
so come, let’s live
