Learning By Earning

Learning By Earning
~
Ever hear your path ahead of you was a path that’s wide open
Not only that, but have caring teachers who take the time to show it
Listened intently as they told you things don’t always stay true to form
What you have to remember is the steps you give here are always yours
Many walked before [...]

Qualifications

Qualifications
~
We’re not model citizens in the sense of doing things we’ll always treasure
Tough times don’t usually last, but when they do we handle pressure
Because life usually happens from all directions and always all at once
At one point offering hugs and kisses then switch up to a kick and punch
Some of what becomes of time, experience, [...]

Out Of Breath Guests

Out Of Breath Guests
~
They showed they had a helping hand but never even offered it
Just handed us a lot of words we don’t even want to bother with
Talking this and that about standing and falling for whatever
Props used like music, bibles, drums, smoke, candles, and feathers
Happy to claim better vocabulary skills to keep it real
Glad [...]

A Well Placed Break

Sunday, May 27th, 2007

A Well Placed Break
~
A day, or maybe a night where we felt good for an entire week
A time like this we saw before but wasn’t sure about the next time we’d meet
Now there’s no need to seek any reason to breathe easy; it’s already here
Some talk about praying for natives, but some already got into [...]

Sights and Sounds Of ‘The Wow’

Sunday, May 27th, 2007

Sights and Sounds Of ‘The Wow’
~
Delicate steps, with elegant twists, turns, dips, and hops
Paired alongside defined stomps, turns, and stops
Everything happens with the drop of the beat, setting hearts free
Accompanied with the voices where some might take the lead
Many listen and watch the loss of worries carry in the night
A sincere offer of enjoyment for [...]

Personified Strength

Personified Strength
~
Down more than most natives I had the chance to interact with
Stood your ground more than those accustomed to back tracking
On top of that attractive, and demand respect like you give it
Rather than talk about what you want to do you actually live it
A perfect vision of the past in that you know those [...]

Exceptional Acceptance

Exceptional Acceptance
~
No worries or hurries to take a break out of a good night’s sleep
Never giving up after being able to position us in the lead
I’m there for whatever you need even if it’s relief from me
I’ll be there to accept your smiles, tears, laughter, and screams
Being truthful and beautiful are two ways you already [...]

Young Natives (both versions)

Sunday, May 20th, 2007

Young Natives (original)
~
Still waiting for patience hoping it’s worth it
Because where I come from we’re taught early what dirt is
That and cursing like it’s predetermined what our fate is
I’ve rarely seen respect given when someone looks at a native
No explanation for our reservation way of living
Too many things describes what we seem to missing
So we’re [...]

Positioned and Ready

Sunday, May 20th, 2007

Positioned and Ready
~
Crazy natives on the rise and it’s evident in our eyes
Lose ourselves along the way and still sound off with war cries
Never see a warrior hide, instead blind you with speed and intensity
If this is our final stand, than that’s how it was meant to be
Still striving for that memory yet to make [...]

Entanglement

Saturday, May 19th, 2007

Entanglement
~
Five fingers for two hands running to explore so much of you
Couple that with two lips and a tongue soon to come through
All for a pair of eyes that lost their cool this time out
No misdirection, we’re both inventive in gaining ground
Both bound to take this round until the nonexistent bell sounds
Where I’m trying to [...]

A Breath Of Fresh Air

A Breath Of Fresh Air
~
You shook what I once thought was solid and protected
To you forever is how I see myself indebted
Not looking for the test in being shown genuine interest
The time I have for us is about to be called endless
No need to investigate any further on what is shown
My one motive is about [...]

These Days Rollin By

Thursday, May 17th, 2007

These Days Rolling By
~
This is how I make the days go by on the in and outside
Watching others seize the ways to make the most out of time
If others agree or not isn’t what we set out to go find
Just looking out for the ones we want and need to keep close by
Who can hold [...]

Self Banishment

Tuesday, May 15th, 2007

Self Banishment
~
I needed one quiet night to think of how I can let you go
That’s the night I cried when thoughts of you got a stronger hold
The next morning awoke and spoke your name to a missing response
Racing everywhere at once to escape knowing you were really gone
Too late in knowing who I want after [...]

Internal Influence

Tuesday, May 15th, 2007

Internal Influence
~
Once tried to talk to god but there was too many stipulations
So I went back to talking to my ancestor natives
The same ones waiting on me to bring teachings out
When they let me know I’m entirely rested once I lay down
Now is about the time I break out the results I’ve made
I have nothing [...]

Seeing Eye To Eye

Monday, May 14th, 2007

Seeing Eye To Eye
~
Visual slaps in the face are needed from time to time
We’re doing too good when others only see us getting by
We’re living life in our own set of hard living guidelines
Anytime and any place is how we stand ready for another highlight
Fighting life by the horns when another charge is on it’s [...]

Warrior To Warriors

Sunday, May 13th, 2007

Warrior to Warriors
~
I’m waiting for us to regroup and exchange our own truths
If I had  my way, than that day would be done instead of coming soon
Until then I’ll keep including your strength of presence in my thoughts
For now catch me stomping, walking, or even halting before I drop
There’s no questioning what I brought from [...]

Patiently Honest

Sunday, May 13th, 2007

Patiently Honest
~
Please forgive this heap of worries that are mine by my own choice
Please understand my heart not leaving caused the pain in my voice
We’re two hearts aching in their own ways for their own reasons
Each in the other’s corner as long as one of us is still breathing
No, I don’t want to see you [...]

Family Conviction

Friday, May 11th, 2007

Family Conviction
~
I didn’t forget what I swore when tears poured those times
Offered the sacrifice of the light that’s called my life
Wondering if I’ll ever find what I need to help unwind
Why is home a place that didn’t wait for you to hit your prime
Each time I try to say good-bye my tongue gets tied
Every time [...]

Strengthened Bloodlines

Sunday, May 6th, 2007

Strengthened Bloodlines
~
We had our disagreements but that’s not the end of the line
As long as when it comes time we both keep aligned
Keeping each other in mind when blinding lights appear
Take the wheel for a moment if you might need me to steer
I’ll spearhead the movement to concluding your time of need
We’re side by side [...]

Natives On Natives

Natives On Natives
~
We don’t come from the streets we just stay on these backroads
Still trying to find our way for everyone we can’t hold
There’s those we hold close because of those we helped and watch grow
Then found out those same ones don’t have a lot of time loaned
So we stand bold, even if we’re alone [...]
