I′m sorry, but I'm going back to the Nat. Ams

Sorry, not sorry ′cause I'm feeling scammed

Native Americans, I thought they were the Indians

Back in school, they didn't talk about dominion

There′s a big tube Oil barrons wanna have

With some supports sticking down into a holy grave

I′m not taking sides or alienating anyone

I'm just looking for the truth (boy), now give me some

I thought the days of Pocahontas, George Wash′, Andrew Jackson were over

I see the mean in 2016

It's still the average when I got sober

Or wise to what got obscured from my eyes

Even now, they′re fighting in October

An even stalemate, to my surprise

Can only wonder what'll be when it′s all over

Will the barrons build it through there or not

Will the tribe be steadfast, or bend over (Yoga!)

Only way to make sense of today

Is to both perspectives, cover

Oil barrons first, then the Nat. Ams

Green light, like a three leaf clover (Bugs Bunny)

Oil barrons often get it from their parents

Shoot crude, we don't mean to be rude

It's just that gas makes the world go round, Eric

Dude, we all wanna see what we can do

Is it too much if we get rich off of it, too

Coming from me, you got a simple point there

Only thing is that discrimination, it impairs

A little bit of your judgement, just know as you collect

A human life is worth more than a check

Thank you oil barrons

Your candid and honest perspectives are much appreciated

You′re great businesspeople

Nat. Ams., what you gotta say?

Well, there seems to be a misunderstanding

Happiness and money don′t seem too demanding

Filial piety, I see it in the eye of thee

We wanna honor our ancestors too, I see

All that they gave we remember at the grave

And that is why this land, they can't have (You know)

We were like the slaves that were seldom bought or sold

13th suggests that was getting old

Haven′t I told y'all that evicting us, corralling us

Are two things that′ll just lead to you battling us

Little rocky way to make your case (Egoes)

With all this aggression, we be losing pace

Wanna see a victory, we can't a taste

Water cannons spraying, along with the mace

At face value, it seems

Like we got no shot. Gunshot. Sp(oil) ain′t clean. Whatchu tryna say to me as you taking my

Mugshot? ("Ugh" shots.) Divergents on the scene, Take my picture like Shailene

Woodley. Would we -- (would we) Would we

Like a pipeline on our spine? "Or

Should we, should we (nawh) should we

Change our minds? And if so, what for

Could be, could be (is) could be

That we so-called Indians are people, too. And

Surely, surely (very) surely

Want this land as much as you do

All of this may seem like a moot point. What I'm saying is

This thing may still matter if -- Oh, they changed it

Good job Barack. You helped to save your legacy

I know you know why I'm saying this

So you shouldn′t be surprised when you′re playing it

You'd be kinder to our current president

If he was not black and had fairer skin

Even the fact that we call it "fairer skin"

It′s deeply rooted, discriminatory preferences

It's not a white man′s problem, it's a blind man′s problem

And all I'm tryna say is

Y'all

Let′s solve it

Geez

Blasphemy!
