Troy Kingi First Nation Lyrics

[Intro]
Bow to the mountains
Cleanse in the river flow
Let your ancestors know
That you are here to stay

Wash in the sun's light
Casting shadows on your birthright
Tell you ancestors
That you are hear to stay
[Verse 1]
It's the land that governs the man
Mana whenua
Without it we got nothing
Our essence engrained in the snow
Don't degrade me
I ain't no westernized Eskimo

Money over everything
Seems to be a common thread
Can we have a talk instead?
The nativе to the corporate head
Wе are the guardians
Protect for the future generations
We are the land
We are the sea
We are the first nation

[Verse 2]
My brothers, my sisters to the north of the turtle
Viva America
I hear you I feel you I see you
Same shit happened to me too
We were beaten for speaking our native tongue
While you were sent to schools of elimination
Find the root we find the cause
Separate us till we aren't a force
There ain't nothing more dangerous Then a native man who knows who he is
They pushed us for centuries
But we'll remain till the end of days
I am the land
The land is me
I am the first nation

[Bridge]
We must fight
We must fight, we must fight
Till kingdom come, kingdom come
Shamans pray
Shamans pray
On the moon and the sun
Chase away
Chase away, chase away
Babylon Babylon
Yes we will
Yes we will
Overcome, overcome

[Verse 1 (Reprise)]
It's the land that governs the man
Without it we got nothing
We got nothing
We got nothing
We got nothing
[Outro]
Bow to the mountains
Cleanse in the river flow
Let your ancestors know that you are here to stay

Wash in the sun's light
Casting shadows on your birthright
Tell you ancestors that you ain't going nowhere
You ain't going nowhere
That you ain't going nowhere
That you ain't going nowhere
That you ain't going nowhere
That you ain't going nowhere
