Born On the Rez (feat. Dennis Banks)

I was born on the reservation in 1973

On a trail of tears exiled in the land of the free

In the spirit of Crazy Horse

And our people buried at Wounded Knee

Across the waters of San Creek

Winter winds blow cold

From Cheyenne River to the Standing Rock stronghold

Where Sitting Bull lives on

And the struggle of our people unfolds

Mní Wičóni Water is Life

Mní Wičóni Water is Life

Ghost dancers thread the prairies of my mind

Dancing through history on smoke singles of time

As we fight for our lives against the black snake Dakota access pipeline

I was born on the reservation on a fateful Bigfoot ride

Hotchkiss cannons rang out unarmed men, women and children died

The Cannonball and Missouri rivers of tears our people cried

Mní Wičóni Water is Life

Mní Wičóni Water is Life

Mní Wičóni Water is Life

Mní Wičóni Water is Life

I was born on the rez in 1909

In a prison of unjust men who’s laws are not mine

In the spirit of Goyaałé Geronimo and water protectors on the front-line

Mní Wičóni Water is Life

Mní Wičóni Water is Life

I was born in Oceti Sakowin camp in 2016

During the largest spiritual resistance the world’s ever seen

My people they named me Mní Wičóni

Mní Wičóni Water is Life

Mní Wičóni Water is Life

Mní Wičóni Water is Life

Mní Wičóni Water is Life

Just got back from Standing Rock….
