lyrics

Neke Shutshiinan
Neke mashiihanan nutum tshakuan kauapinimakuiiach
Ninan ou Naskapi iiyuch

Told them all from day one
What matters, don’t say done
Never fade away once
Born with the mic and break some
This indigenous in the rez
Seen as a savage and that’s till the death
You don’t wanna have it, I bet that’ll be the one you regret
Still represent

Tshe ke mamuinu, muk stahuikunoo
I’m savage, I know and I been at it so long, I ain’t ever gone
Tshe kui shutshenu, mentshi awhuykoon
We savage, I know it, never ask if we’re ever done

Can’t you see me now
Speaking up with no one around
Full-blooded half-breed blasting back
With the rap that I been laying down
Nomads that can’t be found
gotta be tribal with that sound
Neihey nii ouu eeyou
Uan ou tshiuau, stiish michisaimitnau

So, it’s like that
Native with no life hack
Stolen everything about us
Now we fight back

Oh, It’s like that
Home invaders side tracked
Rose from the ground up
To bring them down and fight back

Tshe ke mamuinu, muk stahuikunoo
I’m savage, I know and I been at it so long, I ain’t ever gone
Tshe kui shutshenu, mentshi awhuykoon
We savage, I know it, never ask if we’re ever done

I do it daily, going hard with this
Indigenous natives from the north
Climbing the highest peak we never quit
Back with all of them flows, never leaving out
My nation my home, believe in my name I gain
The strength again, beginning to break my goals

Don’t wanna be falling, I’m creeping and I'm coming up
Taking advantage we landed now lifting up
Every level so challenging and I keep battling
For the whole family gathering knowledge and more
Still every day I’m at war
Putting my people Naskapi nation on the atlas
Tryna conquer the world

Tshe ke mamuinu, muk stahuikunoo
I’m savage, I know and I been at it so long, I ain’t ever gone
Tshe kui shutshenu, mentshi awhuykoon
We savage, I know it, never ask if we’re ever done

We the Naskapi Nation
A group of people, Indigenous
Connected to one another
Connected to an idea
We stay humble
We Tribal
