The Message - Litefoot

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

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

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.»

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
