Kokum

I think about you at night And I remember everything Even when I get high It's hard to shake lately I've been lost in my mind Searching for these answers but I'm scared to ask why Sitting In a sweat I'm just praying you sit with me I brought you to my sun dance to keep our living history Alot of people won't get what I talk on the mic And those that I can save Really, I hope you're doing alright For any native needing something help get through this fight I know that feeling I get it I know what it's like On your hands and knees praying That you need help "Splashing on the rocks" I'm not feeling myself If there's a Red Road for Red I hope this is the route Talking to deaf ears while puffing the loud Question these quiet years once and a while Sitting at your grave site Missing your smile Kokum use to say when times was hard Everything would be okay (Ahkamaymoh) She would wipe my tears tape up my heart Now all I do is pray (Ahkamaymoh) When I do wrong, I can hear her ask Thought you knew better than that (Ahkamaymoh) All I want is change if I could bring you back Cause lately I'm stuck in the past (Ahkamaymoh) Legit I forgot how to speak it It's crazy hear it come through the speakers I remember we had to keep it a secret Till I started coming home with these notes from my teachers I just tried to make some friends Told me they don't play with dirty natives I'm not like them Crying in your lap But back to school I went I hope you know I understand Why I was sent Because Every native out here might not live Without any type of education Can't blend in And for my young natives second guessing it Don't quit When we stand together it's the best chance we win I watched nokum raise everybody else's kids And nokum I'm sorry know we haven't spoke since The lessons you left me I could never forget I keep my head held high Until I see you again. Kokum use to say when times was hard Everything would be okay (Ahkamaymoh) She would wipe my tears tape up my heart Now all I do is pray (Ahkamaymoh) When I do wrong, I can hear her ask Thought you knew better than that (Ahkamaymoh) All I want is change if I could bring you back Cause lately I'm stuck in the past (Ahkamaymoh)
