John Trudell Rockin' The Res
Listen to the skies, listen to the sound.
Something on the land,
Something going down.
Downpressers speeding by life,
fevers heart burning rivers to cross.
Walls of Babylon material noise
thinking they've touched the moon.
Freedom takes a rocket blast.
Just another day like yesterday.
Rockin' my heart, rockin' the Rez,
Woman like you, times like this.
All that's real connect to you
Happy medicine making me smile.
Seeing you laugh getting so near
Rockin' our hearts, Rockin' the Rez.
Carrying on like he ain't been gone,
War-maker's back, back in town.
His notion of taking care of us
not the same as, not even close...
Not even close to our notion of taking care of us.
Nowhere to ride, nowhere to run,
got no job and prices going up.
War-maker' back in town.
Just another day like yesterday.
Rockin' my heart, rockin' the Rez,
no chance we're gonna ever give up.
Together we'll dance
our personal dance.
Swee starts surrendering
only to each other.
These days holding the night.
Rockin' our hearts, rockin' the Rez.
Startin warst with the stars and
working on offing Earth,
what kind of future is that?
Some weird kind of living.
Who needs that lie?
Pretending we aren't stars too,
really isn't very bright.
Earth Stars
with jail break in our hearts.
Just another day like yesterday.
Rockin' my heart, rockin' the Rez,
woman I want, woman I need.
Times when times do get hard
you sure are some comfort.
Rising up love, living on carries on.
Rockin' our hearts, rockin' the Rez.
Rockers Hearts, Rocking Rez.
