I am proud to see our young people following their dreams. I hope the best you young man.The Creator has blessed you with a talent dont lay it to waste. Walk your journery well.
I love this track, ever since Tru Rez Crew came to Christian Island on Solidarity day long ago...our rez radio still plays it regularly! Keep hitting the world with your lyrical evolutions!!!! Please:-)
This is dedicated those among us Who rose above us because they Chose to love us And when we didn't push ourselves They were first to shove us Sent from the skies gave birth the the strongest.
i played this song when my brother passed away, he was 14, and he was from poplar river mb, before he was geting out of the chruch i played this song for him every body in that chruch liked it thank god for this song,,,
Man I love tru rez crew I found their first album at my local pawn shop I'm going to get their second album pretty soon I love them there are underrated as fuck
Natives never die we multiply... honor the past embrace the future. You will never go wrong wit that. One mo thing, good to C a vid wit no lyrics N pics of peeps smokin weed N drankin. Stay Tru. HOPI frm AZ
This is a strong song, hook and everything. I'm no native but i'd love to see natives shine. I moved from Toronto to Edmonton and have just recently began to have more opportunities to interact with natives. Our history is a sad one but i believe you as a people can persevere. The youth need role models and leaders, theres a lot of baggage this life gives us all but its whether you succumb to that or rise above it. keep your heads up, unity, strength in numbers, and intellect as your weapon
The accent on entrepreneur is dope as hell. There was certainly a discussion before putting it to release. Homie must have said " let it slide that is me" . Madd respect
This is the first song I've heard from this group 6 years ago and will forever be my favorite. The lyrics are powerful, keep strong. You guys are amazing.
The woman singing the hook is Lucie Idlout from Nunavut -- there's one or two vids from her solo album here on YT, you can find her CD for sale on MapleMusic.
Must be easier to find in Canada, then. I've never managed to find the actual CD in the states, I was even checking through all the CD booths at the big pow-wow this summer. Good to hear it's still in print! :)
we are the generation that has opened there eyes keep it going no more broken confused lost people the mission shead the poison from are temples we will be one again hey give god the glory
love to see the people getting the wind behind there back and standing up and taking whats urs aint no one gonna do this but us and i like to see this stuff but dont quit my brothers all my native brothers keep real talk in ur songs show the world we can do it and do it better we came and seen and lived and some still living in the struggle but we can make it as the songs say my people DONT LOOK BACK on yesterday or 500yrs ago let rise above the pain the creator never moved we did !! joe oneida
Good song guys. Remember that native pride doesn't mean that you put othhers down. We should be above that by now. Keep up thhe good work guyz. From your native Brother, Shane Skye, I'm going to be bumpin this shit in florida where I live. Your words will be heard farther than you think.
I'm a lucky one: I worked very hard and got myself out of poverty...I donated to Native American scholarship Organizations...I'll still remember what my Parents and Grandparents went through, I do it for them...If we all "Unite" and "Help" eachother we'll all be "Lucky Ones" .
i just love this song! seriously! from the first time i heard it and that was years ago- i think and i still like it today! its our own 'classical' hiphip song!
I met these guys way back at an event of some sort. Played their CD over and over in my lil Diskman. hahah. Thats how long ago this was. YEARS AGO. Still love these guys. ♥
@CareerWolf, I don't know if the first album's still in print, but their new one is on iTunes. The band's here on YT as tru2darez, I've got links to their website, MySpace page, and YT channel up there in the info pane -- drop them a note and they may be able to tell you where to get the earlier one.
Great job guys! Excellent delivery, excellent tracks, and I'm looking forward and not looking back! Not many on your level!!! Hope to see you at the GRAMMYS soon!!
Man the key to that is push yourself as much as you can don't settle for less search online get numbers all that when one says no keep going never stop on your dreams on what you want
Hi FancyCole -- Derek Miller is Mohawk and Lucie Idlout is Inuk; I don't know the individual affiliations of the Tru Rez guys but they're from the Six Nations reserve which is home to individuals from the various Haudenosaunee nations.
