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
Build build build
Said prepare me for, for long battle
I am a witness hope is steel bullets
I drop the hatchet you won't forget this
Said prepare me for, for long battle
I am a witness hope is steel 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 subtle
I tend to sneak and burst all them bubbles
We are the ones we been waiting to rumble
I torch my enemies out 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 arrows
Hitting them wicked, burning them bridges
Said, what we know is what we owe
Can't be too careful, shoot flaming arrows
Hitting them wicked, burning them bridges
I rep the misfits, not society
We struggle with housing, drugs and sobriety
We're not from here but born here respectively
Immigrated cuz America raped my country
My bridge 'aint built with no white man money
I'm on Indian time you know you cannot rush me
I can be vicious malicious and ugly
A danger to darkness to better run quickly
What we know is what we're owed
Can't be too careful, shoot flaming arrows
Hitting them wicked, burning them bridges
Said, what we know is what we owe
Can't be too careful, shoot flaming arrows
Hitting them wicked, burning them bridges
Said, I've 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
Build build build
Said, life was pretty crazy I was 9 months old
Yeah, momma gave me up at 14 years old
Said, I don't give a shit grandmother she was so bold
Some of the rapist mommas body got sold
Not to say poppa 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 and my indigenous blood
I said I'm confused, identity crisis
Indigenous mastery is so timeless
Now I'm building bridges so that it will all make sense
Why I'm here with the music so passionate
Got to ride hard or die trying
Said, I am a raincloud storm white lighting
I am relentless stop at nothing
I'm el coyote bridges building
Said, I rock the one feather on me next head
Must stay humble, never be like chief headdress
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
Guardian of the gate it's gate number 7
I tame that 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 arrows
Hitting them wicked, burning them bridges
Said, what we know is what we owe
Can't be too careful, shoot flaming arrows
Hitting them wicked, burning them bridges
Said, I've 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
Build build build
Said, my people my earth, my country, my heart
In service for ever, 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 let's live
Live live live
Said, I've come to live in peace
So come let's live
Live live live
Said, I've come to live in peace
So come let's live
Live live live
Said, I've come to live in peace
So come let's live
Live live live
