Warpath Lyrics

[Verse 1]
First
You should know that I have risen through the fire in colorful buckskin
The object of my desire is the color of my skin
So divided are my kin
Watch me turn the tables, till we eatin' like some kings
In beautiful headdresses, the culture is so impressive
I'm just hopin' I absorb it when He passing me the message
Cause baby, it's depressing livin' in this mess we call a home
We should take it back to chokers restin' on the collarbone
Arrowheads ride alone, the enemy like Styrofoam
Piercing through the strongest armor, death and genocide the former
And still I stand, a singular red man
With Jupiter-sized heart, forever reppin' my clan
The eagle's an old man, watchin' over my plans
Talking real sh, baby
No fakey here for the fans
I'm shoutin' out Bobby Jones, my Auntie, my Mushem George
I'm drawing all of my strength from my people here before me, man

[Chorus]
Big Chief in the building, everybody take your place (hooh!)
Remove your feelings if you wanna ride with me (hooh!)
We about to go to war right now, no petty ass beef (hooh!)
And when it all go down, who's gonna ride with me? (hooh!)
And when it all go down, who's gonna ride with me? (hooh!)
And when it all go down, who's gonna ride with me? (hooh!)
And when it all go down, who's gonna ride with me? (hooh!)
And when it all go down, who's gonna ride with me?
[Verse 2]
Blessed is the man with sons who walk beside him
There's not enough leaders out there, we should be ridin'
They left our people broken, but homie, don't play the possum
Learn to grow yourself, the set
'Cause you can bet there's nothing promised
They sayin' I'm a problem, they call me public enemy
But they don't understand that, I hold it down for my family
And I hate it when they say that I won't be sh cause I'm Native
Cause in my mind we the strongest, we were built up for the ages

[Bridge]
Ay, give me back mine 'fore I take that
You don't want that, where my rays at?
Put them up power, the blade of the sweetgrass
Put a prayer up
If you ain't gonna ride, get back with your weak ass
No room for the weak, or the type of speech that brings us down
Need them soldiers to be strong, when the bad man come to town
Ride out

[Chorus]
Hooh!
Big Chief in the building, everybody take your place (hooh!)
Remove your feelings if you wanna ride with me (hooh!)
We about to go to war right now, no petty ass beef (hooh!)
And when it all go down, who's gonna ride with me? (hooh!)
And when it all go down, who's gonna ride with me? (hooh!)
And when it all go down, who's gonna ride with me? (hooh!)
And when it all go down, who's gonna ride with me? (hooh!)
And when it all go down, who's gonna ride with me?
[Outro]
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
