No Way, No How

There's no way, no how That anything could ever hold a native down There's no way, no how That anything could ever hold a native down There's no way This land was once our own when were all a team This land was called Kanata which really means clean And each and every one of us only had one name Yeah we were living peacefully until that one day The sailors came along, with all the sticks that thunder What did we do that's wrong? The Chiefs were left to wonder They took it all away The faces of the pale They tried to take away our pride but they failed There's no way, no how That anything could ever hold a native down There's no way, no how That anything could ever hold a native down There's no way Look at our Native Elders! How can you hurt em more Removed them from their family And even worse with force Our land was good enough But still they tried to take what's best To try discourage our tradition was a failing test Which lead to punishment And some were left to deceased So many others lived but abused, mentally The residential schools, my Natives still tear We made them look like fools 'cause were still here There's no way, no how That anything could ever hold a native down There's no way, no how That anything could ever hold a native down There's no way Now what you see today is conjunction in the air Effecting on our Natives Corruption everywhere All kinds of sickness spreading Who's gonna choose to fight before this further happens Or even suicide But how can you neglect it Our women are abused. There feeling unprotected and Feeling so confused And all these other murders, the're uninvestigated But still our spirit stays death can't even take it There's no way, no how That anything could ever hold a native down There's no way, no how That anything could ever hold a native down There's no way I know you feel it in your hearts and you know that its Real (that it's real) How does it feel (how does it feel), to survive (survive), still alive (still alive), never die (never die) You know why because There's no way, no how That anything could ever hold a native down There's no way, no how That anything could ever hold a native down There's no way,
