Death of an Honest Injun

from HONEST INJUN EP by TJ Felix

/

lyrics

I get culture shock everytime I walk
down gentrification way
doors are all locked & the intersections blocked
wen the Injuns come out to play

see the color drain from us all
wen its not ur pain
u work on ur aim, I'm against the wall
as u pick my brain

blessed by mortality
dont mess w my unreality
dont resent me for needing relief
just write me out of your history

there's ppl that look like me
in those books u read
but they don't walk these streets
paper cuts me bloody
but pages dont bleed

I'm needy for ur love, babe
ur greedy for control, babe
I'm bleeding on ur rug, babe
death of an Honest injun
oldest story ever told

I'm grieving with my drugs, babe
u make me doubt my soul, babe
I saw u give all those cops hugs, babe
death of an honest injun
oldest story ever told

I'll burn every bridge built by white men
swim across the river
& try to make it home again

death of an honest injun
oldest story ever told
cash in my scalp cowboy
just like them days of old
death of an honest injun
heart is tatters, land is sold
come on & take a chance on love
nothing matters but the lives we hold
