Litefoot The Message
[Verse 1]
Tomahawk! Still leaving scalps on the ground
Still rolling though towns with my rag top down
Who want to come test, Native America's best
Who wanna get rolled by fools with tactical vests
A good day to die, just got better for me
It's a whole new year but damn, outlook is bleak
Every negative poll, got us first place listed
Trying to be optimistic- but how you battle statistics?
Undo government abuse, tribal genocide
Thousands of treaties with nothing but lies
Call me militant. Man your missing the point
Everything I spit's historically's on point
If it don't sound good, I know ya wanna stay asleep
But in your dreams, you seein the cavalry creep
Wake up call! Rally up all of the troops
Tell em fight till the end & do what they gotta do
[Hook]
My people, listen to the truth in the verse
C'mon people, even if the words I speak hurt
Knowledge, the key to unlock your cell
Enlightenment, the very opposite of hell
My people, get up off your knees
Native people, we're our own worst enemies
Wisdom, all you need to overcome
The light, stops the dark from coming on
[Verse 2]
Politikin the message
Yo, the letters is real
The Creator told me, “tell all ya people the deal
Fire off a few rounds with your lyrical arrows
Say what you gotta say - even if it scares those
Weak hearts, that's playing the fence
Let the spirits handle that Make ya blows make dents
Speak your words clear, then you blast 'em with truth
Rap it to a beat and tie in your cultural roots
That's your medicine LITEFOOT, go do my work
Even if it hurts, you still do my work
I make you the promise, I'ma get your back
You answer to me, go on and never look back
Your rewards come later, don't sweat any haters
I got something for them, between me and them
LITEFOOT, that means your FEET have LIGHT
On the darkest of nights, you see my path alright.”
[Hook]
[Verse 3]
A decade strong, a CD stripe each year
Steady bring the word to many thousands of ears
Stand tall my people, you can do your thing
Don't you listen to fools, disrespect your dreams
You see me player, I'ma handle my game
There ain't thing you can do, you better bet on the name
I'm thinking of those, who rode against black boots
So I'm rapping for those,who gave their life for the truth
The battle is only over when you give up the fight
So the war is still on, until the end of my life
I'ma be that example of a warrior for you
I'ma be about everything's right & true
I want you to know we ain't promised a deal
You don't get caught up thinking, you got time to kill
Every moment that pass, stays gone forever
Every second God gives, better treat it like treasure
[Hook]
