Текст песни Build a Bridge - Nahko & Medicine for the People

Said prepare me for, for long battle
I am a witness, hold crystal bullets
I drop the hatchet, you won't forget this
Said prepare me for, for long battle
I am a witness, hold crystal bullets
I drop the hatchet, you won't forget this
Said,
Mine eyes have seen nothing but trouble
You must make peace with them gods and the devils
I can be rude boy, I am not settled
I tend to sneak in and burst all them bubbles
We are the ones who've been waiting to rumble
I torch my enemies house with a candle
Music is the weapon, make empires crumble
We bring them bankers and wealthy to tremble

What we know is what we're owed
Can't be too careful, shoot flaming aarows
Hitting them wicked, burning them bridges
Said, what we know is what we owed
Can't be too careful, shoot flaming aarows
Hitting them wicked, burning them bridges

I said,
I rep the misfits mouth of society
We struggle with housing, drugs and sobriety
We're not from here, but born irrespectively
Immigrated, cuz America raped my country
My bridge ain't built with no white money
I'm and Indian-Tom, you know you cannot rush me
I can be vicious, malicious and ugly
A danger to darkness, you better run quickly

What we know is what we're owed
Can't be too careful, shoot flaming aarows
Hitting them wicked, burning them bridges
Said, what we know is what we owed
Can't be too careful, shoot flaming aarows
Hitting them wicked, burning them bridges
Said,

I have come to build a bridge
So come, let's build
Build, build, build...
I have come to build a bridge
So come, let's build
Build, build, build...
I have come to build a bridge
So come, let's build
Build, build, build.
I have come to build a bridge
So come, let's build

I said,
Life was pretty crazy, I was 9 months old
Yeah mama gave me up, 14 yrs old
Said, "I don't give a shit", grandmother, she was so bold
Sold into rape, my mama's body got sold
Not to say papa didn't have a good soul
Cuz he did give me the anger, I was born so cold
Raised white-Christian in a white neighborhood
There was no bridges for me in my indigenous blood
Said, confused, Identity crisis
Indigenous mobster, we are so timeless
Now I'm buildin bridges so that it will all make sense
Why I'm here with the music so passionate
Gotta ride hard or die trying
Said, I am the rain cast storm white lightning
I am relentless, stop at nothing
I'm a coyote, bridges building, building, building, building
Building, building, building
Building, building, building

I SAID,
I rock the one feather round me neck
Said, must stay humble, never be like chief head dress
Hang the flag upside down, I'm in distress
Never take no title out of deepest respect
Welcome to Aquarius, son you're a legend
Gaurdian of the greatest gate, number seven
I tame the beast, and I ride the dragon
I reincarnate as a wild stallion

What we know is what we're owed
Can't be too careful, shoot flaming aarows
Hitting them wicked, burning them bridges
Said, what we know is what we owed
Can't be too careful, shoot flaming aarows
Hitting them wicked, burning them bridges
Said,

I have come to build a bridge
So come, let's build
Build, build, build...
I have come to build a bridge
So come, let's build
Build, build, build...
I have come to build a bridge
So come, let's build
Build, build, build.
I have come to build a bridge
So come, let's build

Said My people, my Earth
My country, my heart
In service forever, a mission to better
My passion, my fist
My heart, open it
Reclaim, recover, protect clean water
Said
I've come to live in peace
So come lets live
Live, live, live
I have come to live in peace
So come lets live
Live, live, live
I have come to live in peace
So come lets live
Live, live, live
I have come to live in peace
So come lets live
