lyrics

Live Cause I love My Life Today x3
I love My Life Today x2


I do not embrace ideas that we are disappeared
not in our chants and dances or embodiments of fear
i steer clear of explanations that start with extermination
connecting with my spirit is my self determination
i am self determined to be learned of our traditions
envision revitalized expressions of our wisdoms
the mythic pan-pacific image is capitalistic sickness
designed to confuse the youth to lose what is specific
to our language and our region and our ways of being
the truths not hard to find we just got to learn to speak
its in our bloodlines your bodies fluent just listen to it
intuit whats intuitive you were sent here to do it
pursue it knowing heart activates when we choose it
Our heart beat’s the heartbeat of ancestral music
we use this to elevate our deepest purpose
there is no greater teacher than who the earth is

Live Cause I love My Life Today x3
I love My Life Today x2
Live Cause I love My Life Today x3
I love My Life Today x2

im spittin you the rythym given to me in a vision
my living is driven by my ancestors ancient wisdom
ripping through the prisons of individualism
when i write this im make light prisms ya might listen
and find in yourself the meaning of existence
live life alive you could be missed in an instant
universe is persistent, no use in resistence,
between past life, next and this there’s no distance
remembering when entering a land that they are settling
i am obligated by the teachings of my memory
chenchu’le yan inafa’maolek cuz im blessed to be
here, queer with a past as sacred as my destiny
healing of the planet when im connected sexually
to my lovers ancestors of thousands of centuries
healers chanting infinite and limitless
taihinekkok yan taichi we live on… indigenous…
