talon simon - rez kid wonder (poem) lyrics
[verse]
what does your imagination say when i mention aboriginal?
“oh
i studied those in middle school
ain’t they just face paint, feather caps?
weather dances, leather bags?
savages?”
never that
we fed the cats that came from the boats
that never were the first to cross the ocean
the notion
that we were uncivilized
in pre-americano eyes
was carefully revised for them history books
making us look like those savages you read about
i’m here to oppose the rows of those who water down facts
our women are being stolen and now we’re trying to fight back
but kicked under the table
are a people made of fables
breaking locks off the stables
cut the throats of the indians so they ain’t able to tell their stories to the next millennium
we would make em all forgotten
but we like their moccasins
sports teams is how we’re memorized and desecrated
nothing’s sacred
now you’re painted red with a headdress
yelling nonsense
cheering offense
a bleached conscious
makes it for the sake of the sport
while they’re making the sport
residential experiments from colonial arrogance
a history of context made irrelevant
they were busting baby’s heads
shooting lead at the pregnant mamas
raping daughters
and saying what they did was modest
and necessary for
future penitentiaries housing slavery
i can’t forget the tragedy
and act like it had to be
i have to stay strong
i have to stay a warrior
when the church attacks your people
is it in the glory of?
i’m not here to get crossed
so i forgave the game and moved on
m-sses in elsi and cartoons is what i grew on
but can we let the tides settle?
stop all these wars causing tipsy mind levels?
my devil is heaven sent
these teachers are evidence
said you just an indian
dirty and an idiot
biggie said mo money mo problems
and all this paper chasing got us breathing carbon
autumn won’t fall
spring won’t blossom
winter will stall
and summer will be coughing
