Warrior People Songtext
von Nahko & Medicine for the People

Warrior people
Warrior, warrior people

I am indigenous original resistance
I′m gonna need assistance if I'ma make a difference
Used to be restless, now I am relentless
I teach my children who to trust and how to listen

Are you listening
Are you, are you listening
Are you listening
Are you, are you listening
Are you listening
Are you, are you listening
I teach my children who to trust and how to listen

I am an Indian, I′m Puerto Rican
I'm Filipino, I live in Hilo
Went to the heavens, came back a stallion
Now I am ridding into the storm
The storm, the storm, the storm, the storm
Thunder beings carry me home


I am a raven, I am a buckskin, I am a killer whale, I am a lion
I am a panther, I am coyote
I'm just a human being on another fucking journey

I′m on a journey, what about the journey
I′m on a journey, what about the journey
I'm on a journey, what about the journey
I′m just a human being on another fucking journey

Well, I will learn to be peaceful, but I keep my knife at my side
I will pray for compassion, woah, but if war comes to my door you know
I will be blasting warrior mentality, my responsibility, bringing it to my people now
Holler if you feeling me

Feeling me, feeling me, feeling me, feeling me, yeah
Feeling me, feeling me, feeling me, feeling me, yeah
Feeling me, feeling me, feeling me, feeling me, yeah
Feeling me, feeling me, feeling me, feeling me, yeah

I am an Indian, I've been betraying, sold my heritage so I could get a reservation
Can you blame my situation, my situation, I come from a long line of people in displacement
I am an Indian, I′m on a mission
These times definitely call for certain kinds of patience
I'm changing, it′s amazing
Every day is a new day for this Indian in training


I am a hustler, got all kinds of customers
People need their medicine, this music promotes consciousness
Past, present, future, tense, all the healing elements
Everything you do in life is definitely relevant

Warrior people, warrior, warrior People
Warrior people, warrior, Warrior People
Warrior people, warrior, Warrior People
Making the best of peace with the strength of an eagle

Warrior people, warrior, warrior People
Warrior people, warrior, warrior People
Warrior people, warrior, warrior People
Making the best of peace, yes, ambitiousness is lethal

I will learn to be peaceful, but I keep my knife at my side
I will pray for compassion
But if war comes to my door you know
I will be blasting warrior mentality, my responsibility, bringing it to my people now
Holler if you feeling me

Feeling me, feeling me, feeling me, feeling me, yeah
Feeling me, feeling me, feeling me, feeling me, yeah
Feeling me, feeling me, feeling me, feeling me, yeah
Feeling me, feeling me, feeling me, feeling me, yeah

I have two mothers, two beautiful mothers
One of them is brown and one of them is white
One of them taught me to be peaceful
One of them taught me how to fight
Now I put the two together and I know wrong from right

I have two fathers two beautiful fathers
One of them is brown and one of them is white
One of them taught me how to sing
One of them taught me how to write
Now I put the two together and I know wrong from right

I am a white man, I raped my children
I am a black man, I killed an African
I am a woman, I am a Muslim
I was raised Christian, now I am forgiven

Saved my native wisdom, I follow my traditions
I teach my children who to trust and how to listen
Are you listening, are you, are you listening
Are you listening, are you, are you listening
Are you listening, are you, are you listening
I teach my children who to trust and how to listen
