Savages man, we comin'
Look out
We comin'

War paint in the sunrise
Getting braided up as my paint dries
The blood falls from the red sky
My lady's singing that war cry
We'll break them up like mannequins
Look them in the eyes they're panickin'
Draped up in a bear hide
We ain't Indians, we savages
Don't believe me? Check my status
This battlefield's my canvas
And it might not take us platinum
But that hand drum is my anthem
We go (bang bang)
On the 808s
You know we coming when you feel the bass
No deal with the devil, no soul to sell
We were red when we broke through the gates of hell
Savages, savages
Native to the land you've inhabited
Home of the braves and the ancestors who walked the land you've damaged
Man, we hail from the side of that atlas
That practiced throw weaves on baskets
Carved masks on cedar plaques
We live by the law of the land
Don't take what you can't handle
Don't break what you don't understand
Goddamn! We back again
Kill the Indian, save the man
Put the knife on my back and I go berserk
I don't make friends, I make feelings hurt
Ill-behaved, man, I'm on my worst
No new friends, I put family first (woo)
Underneath the mask, I'm a monster (ugh)
On my people's back, I'ma conquer
But before I reconcile, man
I'll add this to my profile
My grandpa was a savage before savage was in style

Savages, savages, homie we dem savages
That's how they gon' label us
Thanks to all the cameras
We savages, savages, homie we dem savages
Forgotten languages
Goddamn, ain't that a bitch?
Savages, savages, homie we dem savages
That's just the way we live
So my kid's kids will be some
Savages, savages, homie we dem savages
Do you know what a real savage is, boy?

I get my strength from the spirits
My Uncle Bob's in the building
He told me wake up and get 'em
And when you catch up, just kill 'em
My arrows hit with precision
My sparrow sing with tradition
Screaming, "Creator come get me
This earthly body's like prison!"
Till I am free
Show me all my enemies so I can see
I'll line them up like barber shops
They'll get his work for free (work free)
Get 'em, let them rinse off in the river
Breastplate covers up my heart
Programmed just to go and give 'em
Mama need me, I deliver
Papa quit, I ain't no quitter
Threw the war club from the right palm
Dropped the body in December
When the snow fell like some feathers
Minus twenty with no sweater on
Revenge kept my body warm
I offer it up as body to them

Savages, savages, homie we dem savages
That's how they gon' label us
Thanks to all the cameras
We savages, savages, homie we dem savages
Forgotten languages
Goddamn, ain't that a bitch?
Savages, savages, homie we dem savages
That's just the way we live
So my kid's kids will be some
Savages, savages, homie we dem savages
Do you know what a real savage is, boy?

No redneck with the red skin
Far from Cleveland, but an Indian
That's casino and them moccasins
With two braids my sister did
Look rez boy savage, Macho Man Randy with his glasses
Ice cold, I need a winter jacket
Matter of fact, I'm getting a little ashed
Even if the boat is sinking, I ain't never jumping ship
Some claim to be down with Minay
But you feel a certain type of way every single time that
Purflex on that pipeline, look at the world through my eyes
This long hair's to show my pride and it's "F*ck you" if you don't like mine
Yeah, man, you don't want no prob-a-lems
Why? 'Cause I get that from my dad and them
Oh yes indeed, when I'm in need
Of stress relief, I roll some weed
That's Indian M-E-Ds
When I chief, homie can't you see?
We S-A-V-A-G-E-S
And P.S., my name Young D
With the blood of my blood
And the flesh of my flesh
DMX you can bet that, we them

Savages, savages, homie we dem savages
That's how they gon' label us
Thanks to all the cameras
We savages, savages, homie we dem savages
Forgotten languages
Goddamn, ain't that a bitch?
Savages, savages, homie we dem savages
That's just the way we live
So my kid's kids will be some
Savages, savages, homie we dem savages
Do you know what a real savage is, boy?

Savages, savages, homie we dem savages
Man, you don't want no prob-a-lems
Savages, savages, homie we them savages
That's how they gon' label us
'Cause I get that from my dad and them
Savages, savages, homie we dem savages
Forgotten languages
Goddamn, ain't that a bitch?
We savages, savages, homie we dem savages
That's just the way we live
So my kid's kids will be some
Savages, savages, homie we dem savages
Do you know what a real savage is, boy?
