Lyrics:
So what you know about the life of a native
Growing up thru generations most hated
Everyday my people get discriminated
Based on the stereotypes you done created
Nowadays you have the audacity to pass us off
As a lower class nowadays you laugh at us
But now is the day where we finally had enough
From this day forth now are the days we're standing up
Verse 1
To many years you oppressed us suppressed us
Infect us with your disease and left us
Millions of my people dead now you expect us
To forgive and forget like it don't affect us
You can try change history and hide
That it wasn't genocide but read between the lines and
You will find war crimes masterminded
Now you wonder why our people turn to suicide and
Have a hard time searching and finding
Who they really are cause their constantly reminded
Of the time when you came uninvited
Entered are homes and took our young kids crying
Away from their families the tragedies
Left scars so deep no apologies
Will ever cover up the pain that you caused us
Now is the day where you'll see my people stand up!
Verse 2
Now are the days you'll commend and respect us
Gone are the days you apprehend and offend us
Pretend to us you're a friend but forget trust
We all know the scheme that you hide in your agendas
We all see thru the deceit and the lies
A smile in disguise but your eyes can't hide it
But now is the time that we'll speak and we'll rise
All you want is our demise but we can't stay silent
Through our chiefs and our elders we are guided
Divided we fall but together stand united
For our earth and our water we will fight it
Our mother earth is crying and now you cant deny it
We are not the enemy that we're said to be
We're thinking of the generation that's ahead of me
So we'll continue to take the earth back for all of us
White Black or Brown well together we should stand up!

@@OccupyBlackMedia yes all native people can't you see the beauty in that or can't get past what you definition of native is.
They tried to erase indigenous people but look who's still standing. You can't get rid of a people with this kind of spirit.
The natives are beautiful people their suffering is not ignored, I respect them wholeheartedly.
Nice song my uncle loved this song but he died
Sorry my brother
You have a new Fan, and I am from the 306 as well
Much love but
Sadly we are ignored....

Proud to be a NATIVE ✊🏽 💙 Thank you for making sure they dont forget cause we havent forgotten what they did to our ancestors!
Revenge wars? Only Blue hearts? Yeah I think you forgot what your ancestors was fighting for! Maybe you should go ask the code talkers! Because it wasn't nothing to do with being Proud or revenge! It was simply PEACE for US ALL! 💜
The natives are beautiful people. The few that I have met were very kind to me. They had a great sense of humor and were strong willed. I'll give the shirt off my back. Much love from Mississippi. Remember tough times don't last, but tough people do.
Amen 🙏
and know we would do the same for you ❤
Just don't give us too much alcohol after midnight. Or before.

Oct 2023 and the land is crying to be healed 💙
Make America 500 Nations Again
Our two Peoples met over a thousand years ago in the Northeastern portions of Canada/USA. While there was peace and trading, it eventually ended in bloodshed, and my People retreated back to Greenland and Iceland. It's an amazing history to embrace, especially knowing the majority of people still believe Christopher Columbus "discovered" the Americas in 1492 when there were people already living here. Regardless of our initial contact and their dire results, know now that today in 2021, this Germanic/Norse Heathen tribesman embraces and supports two local Native powwows and attends both annually with my wolfdog, Beowulf. I remind myself that we are all more alike than we are different. This current age of division has an unseen puppet master attempting to turn us all against one another based on something as silly as the colors red, white, black, brown, and yellow. Let's come together and end this war, and strive again for peace among People, all People: Americans, Europeans, Africans, and Asians. The only color that matters is that we all bleed red. This can be what unites us As One. I wish to redeem my ancestors who met you 1,000 years ago. Peace will always be superior to war. I will beat my drums in your honor and to recognize the history of our Peoples and the alignment that should've been, could've been, and would've been, if only we understood one another through language and culture. Most of those barriers have been removed in 2021, so there should be nothing stopping us this time around. I will always be the first to offer my hand to help those who seek friendship. And I will always stand up for, and am willing to die for, those who are being abused or taken advantage of in any way. I am a Warrior first. My People were Warriors known by names such as Viking or Teuton. My ancestors were some of the rare few who stood up to the Roman Empire and were never conquered. Their blood runs through my veins. And my blood charges me to act, to help, to defend, and to attack in defense of others. Africans bestowed upon me the boon of my nickname: "The White Lion." I am Kevin (Kveldúlfr - "Evening Wolf"), the son of Roger (Hróðgeirr - "Famed Spear"), eldest brother of Roger II (Hróðgeirr - lil "Famed Spear") and Jason (Jósteinn - "Horse Stone"). I am proud of my heritage and I embrace the educational process of sharing with, and learning about, all other cultures, traditions, and heritages. Let us stand together. Let us stand up for Our Peoples. AND let us stand against anyone who opposes us, our Tribal Paths, or our continuation of our Old Ways and Old God/s and Spirits. I will stand with all of you! We will not be silenced, and Our Peoples will never be erased, no matter how hard the Oppressors attempt to replace us with what they call "civilization." Let us bleed red together arm-in-arm, arms in hand as the Warriors we are meant to be like those Warriors who came before us! The war for Peace begins with us, as we are the first line of defense of our Old Traditions. We should not want our future generations to become the last line of defense. We need to fix things now while we still have breath in our lungs and "fight" left in our fists, always remembering that our combined mind-power is victorious Absolute over their might-power 100% of the time. I await Óðinn to throw his spear Gungnir overhead of all opposing participants as the signal, and symbol, to begin the inevitable redemption of our ancient Ancestors.

This popped in my feed this morning while I was driving my kids to school and I turned it up and replayed it all morning. The pain my brothers and sisters went through hits me to my core every time . It’s constantly on my mind even though I’m from mexica , and and our language died with my great grandfather but I’m trying to reconnect and learn as many languages I can can learn to pass it on . I really have hope for the future generations especially with these songs , I stand strong to this cause for the future generations!!!!! Subscribed!!
