letra de rez life - david strickland

[verse 1: christian nabinacaboo-corbeil]
now here we go into the mode of an unknown
alone, an aboriginal
a mode of only hoping what’ll make the money blow
but only music seems to soothe our soul when i’m low
then my bro told me to rap, i didn’t think that would go
how to do it, my mind was in the ruins
i was lookin’ for nothing till i started drinkin’ the fluid
the alcoholic movement got my grind groovin’ and movin’
my writin’ even fluent, it’s like the rap was my student

[verse 2: drezus]
lookin’ so d-mn cold outside
remind me of the popos (what you mean, man?)
when they beat my -ss that night (oh sh-t)
and threw me in a chokehold (d-mn, what the)
you can’t choke the life out me
natives stand too tall like the trees i breathe
they wanna cage us, lock us down, why do you hate us?
oh canada, why so hard on a native?

[chorus]
came from the gutter, i need a reserve
from the gutter
caught up in the rez life
came from the gutter, i need-, i need-
caught up in the rez life
he from the gutter, i need a reserve
baby, we caught up in the rez life
now we caught up in the rez life

[verse 3: allan nabinabinacaboo]
walking along this empty dirt road
feelin’ confused about the life i chose
is it ending, am i depending on the only unknown?
my name is pending, and i know it’s time for me to show
came from the gutter, i need a reserve
keep up like [?] and out with the words
as the world spins freely, no one around can hear me say
“i’m headed for that breakaway till the end of days”

[verse 4: que rock]
message like melle mel and the furious five
broken gl-ss everywhere and nippising survived the genocide
sand scrolls went from ten to five
had to divide us, man froze and he died
starlight tours, claim that’s a suicide, move aside
he k!lled [?] for grandmothers and grandfathers
from nip-ssing to my grandsons and granddaughters
thunder beams overseeing the land robbers

[bridge: reporter + sheelah mclean]
first nations people, from coast to coast
mobilizing against what they call “oppressive government policy”
our people are idle no more

[verse 5: joey stylez]
i just got home from war
let me tell you all about it
government officials and attorneys
do anything to keep the lies buried
i’ll roam from rez to rez
shout out to all of my neches
big ups to all the frontliners
[?]

[verse 6: h-llnback]
yo what you know about four families under one roof?
the truth that equals oppression here in native youth
now what you know about suicide?
and how high our rates climb in the age that our youth die
what you know about high crime rates and no employment?
drug addiction, alcoholism for their enjoyment
what you know about blind faith?
change will come, i was told to stay strong and leave it all in a song

[outro]
caught up in the rez life
came from the gutter, i need a reserve
i need a, i need
i need a reserve
