lyrics

Look what they did to me
Look how they got me scattered
Bet when you shot me down
You thought I wouldn't stand up after
But I'm not no coward
Its not in my blood to be
Can you say the same mothafucka?
Oh you're scared of me?
Yeah I would be too
If I was standing in your shoes
And we were toe to toe
A fucking native with an attitude
With way too much to prove
And ain't got shit to lose
Being silent I will refuse
You tried to break me
Tried to tell I'm mistaken
That the world is never changing
And there's no way I can make it
So embrace it
I am nothing I am nothing
Want me buried and forgotten
Still I stand and I'm not falling
Living proof is what I call it
Every step that I'm taking
I promise won't be forsaken
I will not fall or be shaken
My home I will be retaking
My life I will be reclaiming
My soul I will be saving
Right here I will be remaining
Resiliently remaining
I will remain

++Chorus++
We are the music makers
We are the dreamers of dreams
We are the silence breakers
We are the truth when it speaks
We won't be quiet we won't be forgotten

I'm related to the lighting
A cousin to the thunder
People plotting on the different ways that they can put me under
Convinced that when I"m gone the message that I serve will crumble
Or fall on deaf ears and never be heard of
But seven days to the night
I'm inevitably shot down
Thunder will call my name
While lighting touches to the ground
The dirt from where I lie will form in to a great red cloud
And from that storm I'll be reborn
Not body
But by sound
Shouts of the message
The lessons
Generations of knowledge that I have gracefully been given
Still living and breathing
Still songs I'll be singing
Until the chiefs decide it's time for me to go and be leaving
So let the words that I hears from wise man resonate
Go ahead and tell them that I said it
I'll have written on my grave
And tattooed on my chest
i won't be forgotten
I won't be forgotten

++Chorus++
