Oveye, oh
Oveye, oh
Oveye, oh
Oveye, oh (Uh-huh)
Oveye, oh (Yeah)
Yo, we stood at Standing Rock before it had a name
To erase the identity, all the names are changed
It don't matter where you are or where you stand
The fact remains that this is still native land
The tragedies are listed in history
How justice still hasn't been served remains a mystery
Blood flows from the schools to the slaughter
To the missing and murdered mothers and daughters
The war club was handed down for centuries
It had a purpose, will fulfill that eventually
But now instead of violence and casualties
I slay injustice with my mic ever so casually
But we can't even live, we can't even heal
New day, old wounds, same medicine wheel
If I tell you my pain, show you my scars
I hope you see a beaten human with a beating heart
You can cry at the social
No need to hide at the social
It's family ties at the social
All love at the social
We make it right at the social
We never fight at the social
Drummin' all night at the social
All love at the social
We come to heal at the social
Get in your feels at the social
Speak on the real at the social
All love at the social
We all live at the social
Have to forgive at the social
Get what you give at the-
Come through to the social
Come through to the social

Uh, they tell me to go back where I came from
Like I can just forget where my name's from
Like my mother's mother still has her mother tongue
Like every day we ain't lose another son
They continue to sell souls claiming they're here to help those
Locked away in these hell holes, only for whom the bell tolls
I guess they figured that we've had enough
I guess they've never been as metz
Don't insult me and tell me that you're colorblind
Take a look around and tell me what color you find
Which color is constantly colored in the lines
And which color's just tryna find a peace of mind
You think we just cause all the problems
You tell us that we caused them so we should solve 'em
But then we ask for help to resolve 'em
They take our identities and dissolve 'em
This is my truth, you can't take from me
It's not just how I feel, it ain't make-believe
Until you see the world through my black eyes
You can only speculate about our black lives
So gather 'round children, settle down
Time for you to talk about what is happening now
It seems what we once lost, we have now found
We got our voice back and we won't back down
This is for the fire starters, scorchers of earth
I pray when the heat is on, you don't lose your worth
To my land protectors, nature's bodyguard
I pray for your protection wherever you are
All my water warriors, biggest task at hand
Thank you for your guidance and doing what you can
To my air guardians, you are why we breathe
I pray you'll always stay, I pray you'll never leave
You can cry at the social
No need to hide at the social
It's family ties at the social
All love at the social
We make it right at the social
We never fight at the social
Drummin' all night at the social
All love at the social
We come to heal at the social
Get in your feels at the social
Speak on the real at the social
All love at the social
We all live at the social
Have to forgive at the social
Get what you give at the-

Uh, I feel light, I kinda feel like
Every little thing gonna be alright
And even if I don't feel like it might be
I can't shake the optimism deep inside me
I got a feeling like the more they try to hide me
Is the more this little light's gon' keep on shining
And if they can't put it out with the elements
I know that this is creator's divine timing
So when we gather 'round, when we settle down
When we look around at what is happening now
When we see how indigenous you can move the crowd
Making the message loud and the ancestors proud
Being quick to defend, not quick to back down
War club at the ready, it's a different bat now
Ready to make right all of the wrongs somehow
And we gon' remember all of the songs somehow
The drum unifies black and red family ties
The land is our mother, when she dies, so do I
If it's worth having, it's definitely worth the fight
And if it's worth losing, at least we can say we tried
I ain't one for giving up, I ain't giving in
I wanna right the wrongs of the world we're living in
No matter if you're atheist, Muslim, or Christian
We all want better for every single kin
No matter where you live, no matter color of skin
No matter your history, right now we begin again
If you value human life, we're on the same team
How many Martins gotta die before we reach our dreams?
The war cry is mothers fed up with gang life
The war cry is fathers locked up in a cell tight
The war cry is children too young to pay the price
The war is not over without a sacrifice
So gather 'round children, settle down
Tryna show you how it's gonna end somehow
Which side of justice you be on when you go?
If you're at the social, you already know
You can cry at the social
No need to hide at the social
It's family ties at the social
All love at the social
We make it right at the social
We never fight at the social
Drummin' all night at the social
All love at the social
We come to heal at the social
Get in your feels at the social
Speak on the real at the social
All love at the social
We all live at the social
Have to forgive at the social
Get what you give at the-
Come through to the social

Come through to the social
Come through to the social
