Debwe

Need dollars and a dream, gotta do it clean
Street scholars intervene, speak proper to the teens
Protecting all our youth, offer them the means
Respecting all the truths we gotta let ‘em speak
Preach, tell the whole world what you see
Living on the rez or living in the streets
Reach, tell them all about the history
Pain and misery, followed by your victory
Healing the trauma, Breaking all the cycles
Dealing with problems, Done feeling idle
Feeling the bottom, stronger through the trials
Wielding the blossom, of you becoming idols
Endlessness, excellence, catch us in the element
Messages of medicine, time to make ‘em prevalent
Evident, elegance, match us up we eminent
Messages so eloquent, the kind to make you celebrant
Debwe, We’re gonna find a way now, (way now)
Today, We’re gonna find a way out, (way out)
Debwe, We’re gonna find a way now, (way now)
Today, We’re gonna find a way out, (way out)
Isn’t about I, Isn’t about me
What if we all tried to make it about we?
Envisioning our shine, a vision we all see
What if we all pried to make this about needs
Needing to be kind, needing to be free
Freeing our own minds, changing how we speak
Needing to be wise, leading our own peeps
Healing from old times, painting our own piece
Facing, Breaking, lateral violence
Open up your eyelids to lateral kindness
Shaping, Making, natural guidance
Notice the vibrance of everyone smiling
Everyone vibing, know that we’re chillin'
Make a rez classic, that’s how I’m feeling
Everyone riding, know it’s a given
To make the best happen that’s how I’m living
Debwe, We’re gonna find a way now, (way now)
Today, We’re gonna find a way out, (way out)
Debwe, We’re gonna find a way now, (way now)
Today, We’re gonna find a way out, (way out)
Say all my people gonna find a way now, (All my people gonna find a way now)
Say all my people gonna find a way out, (All my people gonna find a way out)
Say all my people gonna find a way now, (All my people gonna find a way now)
Say all my people gonna find a way out, (All my people gonna find a way out)
Debwe, We’re gonna find a way now, (way now)
Today, We’re gonna find a way out, (way out)
Debwe, We’re gonna find a way now, (way now)
Today, We’re gonna find a way out, (way out)
