lyrics

My kwe’s built hotter than a fire…
Hair real dark and longer than Elvira’s…
She’s My lady hawk… More fly than Michelle Pfeiffer…
I turn into a wolf at night… Just wanna bite her…
Grew up on the land… Guess I’m an outsider…
Call me Pony Boy and she’s a Night rider…
Glide in like a condor, man… I rise higher…
When she’s looking at me with the eye of a tiger…
Nish earrings… The nativest necklace...
I don’t take her to the club I take her to breakfast…
Glass beads shining makes a Darryl Hanna splash…
Dripping like Jenny Beals she’s doing a flash dance…
She makes deadly bannock... Wanna shove it in my face
I help her clean the mess up and she does the Jenny Grey...
See, my Kwe likes to dirty dance sober…
I told her "Nobody puts a Native in the corner"…

I love the way you knead that bannock…
I love the way you knead that…
I love the way you knead that bannock…
I love the way you knead that…
Girl, you know I knead that bannock…
Girl you know I knead that…
Girl, you know I knead that bannock…
Girl you know I knead that… (Neeee)

I really love the way she kneeds that…
Traditional corn flour… Bleached wheat’s bad… /
And even when she’s being “ever mean, ah”…
Probably deserve it.. So much love for my Creecat… //
She’s never mean… I’m being stupid… Jus kiddin…
Sweeter than a strawberry… Cuter than a kitten… /
Her auntie bun’s thicker than the stew we’re going to dip in…
Scented candles lit and playing music in the kitchen… //
I swear her bannock’s sacred… The sweetest ever…
Blessed with sage… Smudged with an eagle feather… /
Nobody does does it better… Not even close…
When she makes the dough I make a toast //
Forget frybread… That grease? Can’t have it…
See… I’ve been trying to beat that habit... /
Wood stove top is where she heats that bannock…
Got the whole spot smelling like magic… //

I love the way you knead that bannock…
I love the way you knead that…
I love the way you knead that bannock…
I love the way you knead that…
Girl, you know I knead that bannock…
Girl you know I knead that…
Girl, you know I knead that bannock…
Girl you know I knead that… (Neeee)

Spread your eagle wings…
Ever, don’t be shy…
Feel the wind beneath
your feathers, you can fly…
Spread your eagle wings…
Ever, don’t be shy…
Feel the wind beneath
your feathers, you can fly…
Spread your eagle wings…
Ever, don’t be shy…
Feel the wind beneath
your feathers, you can fly…
Spread your eagle wings…
Ever, don’t be shy…
Feel the wind beneath
your feathers, you can fly…

I love the way you knead that bannock…
I love the way you knead that…
I love the way you knead that bannock…
I love the way you knead that…
Girl, you know I knead that bannock…
Girl you know I knead that…
Girl, you know I knead that bannock…
Girl you know I knead that… (Neeee)
I love the way you knead that bannock…
I love the way you knead that…
I love the way you knead that bannock…
I love the way you knead that…
Girl, you know I knead that bannock…
Girl you know I knead that…
Girl, you know I knead that bannock…
Girl you know I knead that… (Neeee, that bannock)
(Neeee, just beautiful this mom)
