lyrics

It’s the land that governs the man
without it - we got nothing
Our essence engrained in the snow
don’t degrade me I ain’t no westernised eskimo

money over everything
seems to be a common thread
can we have a talk instead
native to the corporate head
we are the guardians
protect for the future generations
we are the Land we are the sea
We are the first nation

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 arent 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
We must fight till kingdom come kingdom come
Shamans pray on the moon and the sun
chase away babylon babylon
Yes we will overcome overcome

1st verse again
