Oh spirit come back to me

Oh spirit come back to me

Oh spirit come back to me

Oh spirit come back to me

Oh spirit come back to me

Oh spirit come back, Oh spirit come back

Oh spirit come back to me

I Went from dark to light

& I gone from

Ok

Blacking out, passing out, losing bouts

Sobering centre ins and outs

Drunk tanked & nearly shanked

A Native of the lowest rank

With negative digits in the bank

Couldn't hold a job

Lounging like a slothful slob

Getting robbed

For the few possessions

Under dark possessions

Learning hard lessons

Always constantly stressing

Getting capped, Bannock slapped

Taking crap, Feeling trapped

Hands against the bars locked up

Scarred, bruised and mucked up

Shakey fiend with some caffeine

In a paper cup

Peaceful moments disrupted

By a system corrupted

Projectile vomitose erupted

Traumatized, Telling lies

With no sly, trustworthy alibi

Cutting ties, Not even trying to try

Crying up a big river

Pummelling my liver

Nowhere to go so I shook and shivered

As a another death note was delivered

Damn, Another sprayed R.I.P

Wallowing in my misery

Only me and my whiskey

But it wasn't there to hear me

Heal me

Through these self-made catastrophes

Pigs jacking and harassing me

Demanding to see my identity

But not my traditional name

Feeling embarrassed and ashamed

The native to blame In this wicked game

Of lame John Wayne's versus the Indians

People saying "Damnit Pindian!

When ya gonna get your spirit back again Cousin?"

Retrieving what I thought I lost and lacked

Back on da Red Road tracks

Cuz now I got the Spirits Back

Cuz now I got the Spirits Back

Cuz now I got the spirits back

Cuz now I got the spirits back

Cuz now I got the spirits back

Although they try to pull a land-jack

We out here reclaiming land back

Cuz now we got the spirits back

Went from a minus to a plus

From self serving only me to us

Cuz now I got my Son

Shining like Grandfather Sun

Far from done

P.I.N.D.I.A.N One

And I ain't taking muck from anyone

Like a phoenix rising outta the dung

& the roaches of an ashtray

Shout out to my Brothers Cretin & Ashtray

Saying "Fuck U Pigs!" Every night & day

Went from funds insufficient

To being self sufficient

Resilient, But far from excellent

& no I don't brag or boast

I'd Rather raise an IOTA with a toast

To all my relations of all nations

Here along the West Coast

From Heshquiaht to Ahousaht

Pacheedaht to Skidegete

All the way up to the land of the Tlingit

Secwepemcúl'ecw

Yalis to the Kingcome Inlet

All tribes & bands on a quest for alignment

Awalaskenis, we're here to make a statement

Triumphant over adversity

Went from a fool skipping school

To speaking at university

The city went from charging me

To paying me generously

To give back to my natives in the city

Yet I remain independent

Connected to the wolf clan of which I am a descendant

Moving through cycles like the moon shifts

From a full from a crescent

Learning ways of the past

To implement into the present

And Now

Far from fully healed

But uplifted is how I feel

Sharp as a hatchet made of steel

Provider with no need to steal

Used to be the type to swipe

All the brew out ya fridge

From the start of the binge

To the street, then the bridge

Creating an environment

Fit for my kids

Flipping triple dripped

Trippy limericks

From my tongue

Like twelve hits of acid

Shout out to my natives from lək̓ʷəŋən to Masset

I'm rising up for my bear cub and wolf pup

Til I'm in a cave or a casket

Cuz Now

Cuz now I got the spirits back

Cuz now I got the spirits back

Cuz now I got the spirits back

Although they try to pull a land-jack

We out here reclaiming land back

Cuz now we got the spirits back

And the spirits coming back to the kwakwa̱ka̱'wakw

And the spirits coming back to the Nuu-Cha-Nulth

And the spirits coming back to the Haidas

And the spirits coming back to the Gitxsan

And the spirits coming back to the tsimshian

And the spirits coming back to the lək̓ʷəŋən

And the spirits coming back, and the spirits coming back, and the spirits coming back to us

Oh spirits come back to me

Oh spirits come back to me

Oh spirits come back to me

And the spirits coming back, and the spirits coming back, and the spirits coming back to us

Oh spirits come back to me

Oh the spirits come back to me

Oh the spirits come back to me

And the spirits coming back, and the spirits coming back, and the spirits coming back to us

We got the spirits back
