This is for the survivors
from Native beats to Native Sons
For those who made it thru the stormy valley,
of the shadow death
Beyond the ocean, the bodies buried deep,
within the depths
We ride on their backs bloodied with whips, chains,
and covered with white cotton
A white man’s burden to raise,
the dark skinned savage,
a debt, not easily forgotten
Spill the blood, now!
Shed the tears, now!
Nurse their wound, later!
This is for the survivors!
The barefoot shackled masses,
skin to skin, bone to bone, blood to blood
poured into eternal darkness
We are carried on the backs bloodied with whips, chains
and covered with white cotton
A white man’s burden too much to bare,
the dark skinned savage,
a debt, not easily forgotten

(We post on a big hill
ready for the time of our lives
Big Wheel, Big heads
Big dreams, Big eyes)2x
Down the hill at Julian & Genesee
That big hill at Julian & Genesee
(Race down side by side
we swing, we slide
we laugh, we cry)2x
Victory a dance down below
Prideful we prance to the top
Who will yell go?
Will we be stopped?
(Who will go this time?
Who will go next round?)4x
We race to win
We race for pride
(The only race counting
is the race before we…go inside!)2x
The crowd magically appears to watch
One on the corner eyeing for the cops
At the bottom the prize of her smiling eyes
(It is now or never
It is do or die)2x
Line them up
Let them go
We count
Faster than before
No brakes to go slow
No feet here we go
Turn and strike hard
Turn or turnover
A kiss to crown the king
of the hill
A kiss will crown,
The first one down
That hill is not as steep as I remember it 2 B
That hill is not as steep as it use 2 B
That hill is not as steep as I remember
That hill is not as steep as my memory
Outro(Too little you, too little me)10X
