Tribal Nations Kinryu Native Preacher Yo, life on the reservation Growing up we never had much But we're thankful for what was given Against all odds, overcoming limits and restrictions Trying to find some happiness in this polluted system Making good out of a bad situation My people's all survivors We refuse to be your victims We heed the elders wisdom That everything you received is to be earned and not given Buck the system and break free of this mental prison It's war against alcohol and drug addiction Having our spirits in chains like we're incarcerated Constantly feeling like we're suffocating in this sufferation There's no loyalty in this condemnation Only damnation from a condemned nation My people's all praying Asking God if he can save them I believe he can Cause yo, I'm one of them Trials and tribulation So many fighting to win So many fighting to make it Once in a generation Come some newfound hope To awaken and inspire the native nation Trials and tribulations So many fighting to win So many fighting to make it Once in a generation Come some newfound hope To awaken and inspire the native nation Life on the reservation Some felt the love of their parents' touch While others the pain when their parents' ended splitting up It takes a village to raise these babies up And yet we're still falling out of touch Especially when depression is affecting us And our families until we're just Trying to find some happiness Living with the effects of past traumatic experiences With pain inflicted on us But ain't nothing like my native peoples Even though we may be at our low We managed to push through this evil With faith and hope We pray through the sacred smoke Cleansing the mental, purifying the soul Breaking the holds in order to bring in the new for spiritual growth Once in a generation There comes some newfound hope To awaken those who we have given up our either let go Trials and tribulation So many fighting to win So many fighting to make it Once in a generation Come some newfound hope To awaken and inspire the native nation Trials and tribulation So many fighting to win So many fighting to make it Once in a generation Comes some newfound hope To awaken and inspire the native nation Life on the reservation Where the struggle ain't nothing new Where I heard the elders prayers come through Where the ancestors lifted my spirit Whispering we believe in you Saying help to break the chains of oppression And add to the sacred hoop Cause all this destruction your attempting to do Has already been done by others before you It's nothing new Even under the cover of darkness The creator sees right through It's time to make a difference Cause there's something better for you I know you're feeling the same Cause through me they speak to you So step into the light Where Warriors sacrifice Giving a hope and a future to the young lives All while preserving the wise To show and teach the next one right Don't be distracted by the world and it's flashing lights Your spirit contains the same inside Trials and tribulation So many fighting to win So many fighting to make it Once in a generation Come some newfound hope To awaken and inspire the native nation Trials and tribulation So many fighting to win So many fighting to make it Once in a generation Come some newfound hope To awaken and inspire the native nation
