F*ck it I'm Navajo, this road has already been paved Native land, these are all my Diné We not hiding anymore, shoutout to my shicheii Aight, f*ck it, let's get it I don't wear Yeezys, I wear mocassins You say this is your land, but don't ever mock a sin I came from a tipi, how the f*ck I'm not gon' win? My Nizhoni Pocahontas' hair blowin' in the wind I'm straight off of the reservation, I don't need no reservation Indian boarding schools? I'd rather have no education My cousin's Ute, he a different tribe, but he still embracive Different name, different station, man this is my situation I hear my ancestors talkin', I know that they're listening I'm not a computer, you can't wipe away my history Why are all the natives gone? This ain't no fuckin' mystery Let me paint a visionary of my people's misery Thanksgiving was trickery, heads and hands in pillories Just like the guillotine, I'll put down this delivery F*ck your genocide, were the biggest tribe alive Tried to make us slaves, f*ck that We'd rather fight or die I'm Navajo, this road has already been paved Native land, this is all my Diné We not hiding anymore, shoutout to my shicheii I will stand upon this ground, I will never betray I don't wear Yeezys, I wear mocassins You say this is your land, but don't ever mock a sin I came from a tipi, how the f*ck I'm not gon' win? My Nizhoni Pocahontas' hair blowin' in the wind I knew something was bad when I saw twenty-thousand eagles Flyin' around my head , it dawned upon me there was evil The blankets we're lethal, diseases gave to our people The fucked up part was morally it wasn't legal Why are women missing? 'Cause they tried to erase us That Christopher Columbus story fake, it was made up How you gonna find something that's already claimed, huh? Land of the free, but you kept our spirits caged up You're an O.G.? Well I'm an aboriginal My natural plants peyote, this is our medicinal Earning my feathers, an honor badge, It seem traditional If pilgrims in my village, I stand my ground like it's principle My grandpa was a code talker, he had that Native tongue In the mountains like a skin-walker, they tried to make us numb The wolf is my son, but he howls to the moon still You feel the breeze through willow trees like a cool chill Navajo, this road has already been paved Native land, this is all my Diné We not hiding anymore, shoutout to my shicheii I will stand upon this ground, I will never betray I don't wear Yeezys, I wear mocassins You say this is your land, but don't ever mock a sin I came from a tipi, how the f*ck I'm not gon' win? My nizhóní Pocahontas' hair blowin' in the wind
