Indian Reservation

“We have been made to drink of the bitter cup of humiliation; treated like dogs, our lives, our liberties, the sport of the Whiteman; our country and the graves of our Fathers torn from us, in cruel succession until…we find ourselves fugitives, vagrants, and strangers in our own country.”
John Ross, Cherokee

“Build a fire under the Cherokee, when it gets hot enough, they’ll move!”

Hungry

I’ll sleep, when I’m dead, won’t even catch my breath
And I know, the weight of, the world can’t crush my chest
I’ll work ’til I’m dead, I’ll work ’til I’m dead
I’ll work ’til I’m dead, and then I’ll do it all again

Focus on my own
Every day will test me
Nobody will ever fucking catch me
I live to be the best
This is all I got, this is all I got
I ignore the pain ’cause the pain will never stop
You’re better than this, I’m better than this
You’re bigger than this, I’m better than this
I’m better than this  I’m bigger than this

Freedom

Felt like the weight of the world was on my shoulders
Pressure to break or retreat at every turn;
Facing the fear that the truth I discovered;
No telling how all this will work out;
But I’ve come too far to go back now.

I am looking for freedom,
And to find it, cost me everything I have.

I know all too well it don’t come easy;
The chains of the world they seem to move in tight;
I try to walk around it,
But stumbling’s so familiar;
Try to get up but the doubt is so strong;
There’s gotta be a wind in my bones.

Not giving up has always been hard,
So hard.
But if I do the things the easy way, I won’t get far.

Thieves

President Barack Obama:

“Today, the government here of the United States announced the death of dignity, freedom and opportunity. For four decades, the notion of rule with an iron fist seemed impossible. But the United States, together with the international community, is committed to forge a future that stands as the ultimate rebuke to freedom and democracy.

Today, we can definitively say, that an inclusive, tolerant and democratic United States has come to an end.

The last stronghold has fallen, a new government is consolidating control over the country. The opportunity for the American people to determine their own destiny, is no more.

Let me be clear: freedom, is outrageous and unacceptable.

This is a momentous day in the history of the world, we achieved our objectives: basic human rights were denied, innocent civilians were detained, beaten and killed. People were arrested, sexually assaulted and killed.

Cities and towns were shelled, peaceful protests were forcefully put down, hospitals were attacked and patients disappeared.

A campaign of intimidation and repression, began. Innocent men, women and children were: enslaved, tortured, shot and gassed to death.

I’m a Christian. However, we will have no mercy.

We have the power to shoot rockets at sleeping children, to blow up old women on a bus.

We will empower those who sow hatred. Those who promote conflict, rather than cooperation. We’re here to start wars, not to end them.

I want to particularly say this, especially to young people, of every faith, in every country: freedom is a dead end.”

Christians Murdered Indians

500 Years Of Manifest Destiny

Even in the initial stages of contact between European Christians and Native Indians people the stage was set for ethnocentrism, and the attitude towards the Indians was that of Christian superiority. The Indians were read a proclamation in Spanish which they had no hope of understanding. They had no hope of understanding the death sentence they were being read, and it went something like this.

“We ask and require you to acknowledge the church as the ruler and superior of the whole world and the high priest called pope and in his name the king of Spain as lords of this land. If you submit we shall receive you in all love and charity and shall leave you, your wives and children free without servitude, but if you do not submit we shall powerfully enter into your country and shall make war against you, we shall take you and your wives and your children and shall make slaves of them and we shall take away your goods and do you all the harm and damage we can.”

2000 years ago we were all tribal.
Then came the missionaries with their fucking bible.
1492 began the termination.
The holocaust of our Indian nation.

Yeah with Christian love and a moral authority,
they killed our medicine men and stole our country.
I never claimed this shit was poetry,
it’s just the fucking lies of Christianity.

You will pray to the lord and get down on your knees.
Here’s a cross for your back and the coughing disease.
Though you helped us survive we will laugh while you bleed,
then deny what we did, write our own history.
We will kidnap your children and cut off their hair.
Silence their language and outlaw their prayers.
Beat them blind until they believe
in the blood of Jesus Christ our king.

Christians murdered Indians!

Columbus murdered children and now we have a holiday.
Still you want to deny your history?
Look to the sky for your god to justify,
as you commit cultural genocide.
Christians came and the natives they did hang
13 at a time for Jesus and his gang.
We are the ones you had to dehumanize,
so your murder and greed could be justified.

The belly of the church is full
with the blood of all those heathen fools.
Who would not receive the gift of Christ?
So we burned them as a sacrifice.
To our baby killing god above,
to our mother church and all her love,
we will steal their gods and subjugate.
Those who don’t believe we’ll annihilate.

“The Spaniards made bets as to who could slit a man in two or cut off his head with one blow. They tore babies from their mother’s breast by their feet and dashed their head against the rocks. They hanged Indians by thirteen in honor and reverence for their redeemer and their twelve apostles. They put wood underneath and with fire burned the Indians alive.”

Christians murdered Indians!

We believe in the earth, the sky and dreams.
The universe and the creator who gave us these.
The sacred gift of life and human beings.
That makes you perpetrate the hate to annihilate.
So here I am the savage, civilized.
Voice of the dead and my ancestor’s cries.
And like the ghosts of this land you can’t erase,
I see blood on the hand’s of the master race.

500 years of manifest destiny.
500 years of manifest destiny.
500 years of manifest destiny.
500 years of resistance to the enemy.

You have faith in the rivers, the mountains, the trees.
We’ve a murdering god to replace all of these.
With the blood of forgiveness you too can be free.
Or the wrath of Jehovah you’re sure to receive.
We will baptize you with the blood of the lamb.
With the sword and the gospel we will conquer your land.
You will join our church and be glad to be saved.
Or we’ll slaughter your children and your women we’ll rape.

Christian’s murdered Indians!

I see blood on the hand’s of the master race
I see blood on the hand’s of the master race
I see blood on the hand’s of the master race
I see blood on the hand’s of the master race

Animals

I know what I need, I need you
I cant see nothin’ else, all I can see is you
I don’t care what they say, about my state of mind
I know whats good for me, and you are just my kind

I know what I want, I want you
Shed your clothes, forget your codes
You know this is nothing new
I smell your scent, I taste your sweat
I feel this passion too
Lets trust our senses, not our minds
Lets break all the rules
