lyrics

They’re thinking they know… But I know better…
They don’t want to go with a go getter…
I kill it… They feel it but won’t ever
admit it… I’ve been in the cold weather with a
headdress made of crow feathers…
Been building a village of bones…. tell them
the ill have been filling my cold cellar…
Truth: spilling it til their exposed (Tell em)
Trappin these actors in snares like rabbits..
These bears I track with ain’t scared to scrap
and we carry hatchets and spaids…
Chop up, bury rattling snakes…
Axe to the face of the real that blazed these trails…
You’re ship has been sinking…
But you didn’t notice…
Too busy “raising sales”…
Money ain’t the motive but it’s been rolling in in waves…
While I make this moola with my braves…
Wetum boys out making change
while heads are rolling off the stage…
There's no royalty… It’s fake…
They take more than our rivers and lakes… They def-
orest… Our cities inflamed…
Even our soil is living in chains…
