lyrics

It’s the weekend… I know what you’re thinking…
I know way too much about that hole that we sink in /
Ice hits the glass… All alone with the clinking…
Flash backs haunt my soul when I’m blinking //
38 hanging from a rope thanks to Lincoln…
Luxury cars avoid the roads that we link in /
Riding through streets with my mind on the geese…
That would glide to my blind where I’d hide with my piece by my //
side… Like when I’m gliding up creeks…. Got my
sights nice and clean… Truth hides in the trees... /
Fine dining we feast… Moose hide for our sheets...
Sleeping real deep… Moon shines on our dreams //
Heads high like tide when it rises our streams...
To divide they proceed to feed lies to our feeds...
I smell the greed... Know it Hides deep beneath
story lines on TV… But my mind holds the key //
The gangrene’s getting hungry…
It eats…
It’ll start at your feet and creep up while you sleep…
You’ll wake //
up and you’ll be nothing but meat…
At a corporate feast on a plate…
What’s at stake is your peace…
The greed…
It’ll rob you of sleep…
End up with a dead horses head getting blood on your sheets….
Me…
I’m a Cree…
My style covered in grease…
And I’ll never stop hunting the beast //
