WELCOME TO MY WORLD

Restitutions, red future

Her war cry

Cease and desist

Our mothers, our daughters, our sisters

Grandmothers heard them crying

Now matriarch's rising, and rising, and rising

R-I-S-I-N-G

Red future

Red future

Red, red future

Welcome to my world, the darkness live within us

I see death between my fingers 'cause I'm capable of killing

If the Lord is my witness, why he cool with killing children?

We livin' in a state and it's run by supervillains

We disposable civilians, they kill us off for billions

How you claiming free speech, where we can't afford opinions?

Damn, our women still go missing, orange ribbons for our children

Man, this ain't no poppy wearing shit, we gon' need convictions

Yo, we living in a system where nothing's ever given

Your people fill our lands while our people fill your prisons

You been checking your financials, we checkin' all the landfills

And nothing's ever given, it's why we built this for the children

Yo, I ain't superstitious, but religion built division

They done paid us a visit, introduction to extinction

When we say land back, we ain't asking for permission

Put yourself in my position, red future been the vision

Come and see

I live my life out here like it's the last dance

I do this for the family here that never had a chance

You already know I got the world all in my hands

And my crown, a cedar headband

This for all the dogs like Toronto mans

And I ain't worried 'bout the word of mouth, we standin' tall

It's like a high body count, baby, fuck 'em all

I risk it all for my nation, no hesitation

Fuck the segregation, this for all of my relations

This the native delegation, we need re-representation

When you're leading by example, your whole life a demonstration

Know your worth, yeah

So much work for the better, not for worse

Every gift come with a curse

So be careful, evil lurks

The truth'll come to surface

We move here with a purpose

Our generational service

Unlearning everything that wasn't meant for me, that shit was hurtin'

'Cause we done put the work in

Creator, I think it's workin'

It's for the children, you're worth it

Red future

Red future

The future is no longer rescinding or lending pieces of her

Countering assumption, oh, the gumption of her shine

Overrides it with her DNA

No repeal, no revoking

Red tumoth smudged cheeks, she stands! she sings!

Annulling the colonial contract

Disavowing assimilation

Claiming space, building nations

Red future

Red future
