Dead Man Walking

Eyes wide open, I'm a dead man walking Past life scars, I'm reborn from a prophet I perished in this life just so I could start it new But now that I've rebuilt I still have no clue what to do I pray to the universe, I'm hoping for some guidance The system held me down yet I still remained defiant Red skin tones melted down onto my bones The demons wrecking homes have a darkened blood flow Shapeshifting all of their humanity aside In house and overseas, genocide arise Slowly burned alive from the outside in Yet we're the bad guys when all try to do is defend? Nah, it all ain't making sense Antlers reaching out from their soul hungry heads Sitting up high in their thrones made of gold If it was all in my control then I'd never ever fold Eyes wide open, I'm a dead man walking Past life scars, I'm reborn from a prophet The only thing I know that I'm doing right is music So influencial I'm the hiphop Kubrick Punk at heart, I gotta preach it from my chest If they layed my fam to rest I wouldn't stop til they're dead Every last one, I don't give a f*ck From the river to the sea, all these years been enough Native genocide, man ain't a damn thing change USA Junior just been taking center stage I remember hearing about all the native tubes tied Think about what was done to those Tuskegee lives It seems reality remains disappointing The pleads for relief disgarded as purloining Anishinaabe, from my birth to my death The Creator's wisdom can't be severed from my head
