lyrics

Don’t Scare No White People


Momma taught me to fall in love with my brown skin.
I was pissin’. I was peein’ while my amero-european father
Told me how this land was stolen.
By his ancestors from my ancestors.
But they all my ancestors anyway.

First nations be the only nation I been reppin’ since the very day.
You ain’t get you ain’t get it you ain’t get it but its in your DNA.

Before the British were the British
They were Druids and Brytons within indigenous communities.
I’m a deity, feel my enjun, vrmm, vrmm, that’s enjenuity.

Happy turkey day
Call it happy oil day
Happy world in turmoil term-oil
Tilting on a global stage.
Pilgrim— just another word for pillager— thanks.

Might as well celebrate we ain’t got no clean water day.
Happy Flint Michigan. America been Africa anyway.
Don’t you know its so KKK.
Ain’t nobody waiting on a ghost dance from Donald Duck or the EPA.

[Bridge]

Water is life
You can’t eat that money homie.
Water is life.
We in the fifth world homie.
Water is life.
You can’t eat that money homie.
Water is life.
My voice ancient ceremony.

Indigenous people…
Indigenous people…

[Chorus]

Don’t scare no white people!
Don’t scare no white people!
Don’t scare no white people!
Don’t scare no white people!

Don’t scare no white people!
Don’t scare no white people!
Don’t scare no white people!
Don’t scare no white people!

[Verse Two]

Oye, this is coyotito
Atzlan stompin’. Turtle Island. Vibin’ wit my people.
I’ll take you down to the kiva just to show what’s really real.

From the trash bin burnin’ that’s my steeple.
To the rez dog on your mommas lawn that’s a very regal beagle.

From the Koa Trees to winter freeze on the sangre de cristos.
Aint no equal, all I know is….


[Chorus]

Don’t scare no white people!
Don’t scare no white people!
Don’t scare no white people!
Don’t scare no white people!

Don’t scare no white people!
Don’t scare no white people!
Don’t scare no white people!
Don’t scare no white people!
