Cultures what we cultivate the people give it health
If you say the cultures dying you're talking about your self
I'm not about to witness mores tree die up in this jungle
So I pray I can stay humble as I sit and watch you tumble
And we can laugh it off... like this barely even happened
Cuz I know the wound is deep for generations it has been
About the loss and the pain of depravation
For four hundred years of surviving devastation
But how long will that short of amount of time define us
Our historys much longer than a bout with colonizers
Im tongue tied up
When I hear these words escape
From the mouths of people born and living in this age
Where we can speak our language and not get taxed or beaten
Do you know what has been sacrificed so we can have our freedom?
We can speak our language and not get taxed or beaten
There is no reason we should not exercise our freedom

Cultures what we cultivate people give it health
If you say the cultures dying you're talking about your self
Cultures what we cultivate people give it health
Cultures what we cultivate people give it health
If you say the cultures dying you're talking about your self
Cultures what we cultivate people give it health
When you say the cultures dying we just killing ourselves

If we don't do the work to clear up all the hurt
We just pass it on to our children who really don't deserve
More excuses for the nooses we tie around our selves
The truth is we can do this our ancestors here to help
I can hear them crying out people tell me they have seen
Spirits in the form of feathers and grandma's chanting in dreams
I know this is their message asking us to just believe
But I am not a priest and definitely not here to preach
Just trying to craft a medicine to set our people free
From the pain and the piniti we converse with the aniti
And learn to trust our selves and the signs from i gunifi
It is not always easy often confronting and painful
When something tests our faith then we just get more faithful
And grateful for our saina cause we know they will
Have our backs and tell us to carry on
Every moment we feel weak we just be getting strong
Hu Guaiya hao Guåhan yan I islas Marianas
The future coming towards us is truly beyond what
We can imagine now Na'lå'la' I Taotao
Hita sesu kuma'hulo' kulan Pulan yan Atdao
Hita I Manmatao ni lumangak i Chaochao
I Muna'lå'la'la' i pengga'-ta yan i fino' håya i hila-hu

Ta na'famta i pengga'-ta ya humolo' i taotao
Annai ta lå'la' gi pengga'-ta i chinalek pumaopao
Ta na'famta i pengga'-ta ya humolo' i taotao
An ta lå'la' gi pengga'-ta i chinalek pumaopao
Ta na'famta i pengga'-ta ya humolo' i taotao
An ta lå'la' gi pengga'-ta i chinalek pumaopao

I chose to lose the narrative of loss
So i carefuly dig through the memories buried in the plot
Of land my umbilical is tied to
As a young kid i knew/until i read books
With a negative look on my survival
Academic papers filed to
The aisles of authentic native disappearance
So i took to the pen with creative adherence
To the principles of fireworks in my words i learned
To let the saina guide first as i worked
I heard voices in the noises so i turned
To prayer as the process my inner light burned brighter
To enlighten my search
Im pontan in the cipher emerging from the infinity
Finding a new earth cause forever i have been at sea
Purging all the hurt and in service of the divinity
My purpose is to surface mistaken for lost memories
The beginning of our people did not quite begin with me
I am the sprouting seed but my father is the giving tree
My mother is the earth where my roots have grown so large
And i listen to her song for as im sailing through the dark
Charred and battered by the past is one story I could tell
But the breathe of my ancestors still strongly fills my sails
Charred and battered by the past is one story I could tell
But the breathe of my ancestors still strongly fills my sails

Cultures what we cultivate the people give it health
We simply live our culture and let spirit heal ourselves
Cultures what we cultivate the people give it health
We simply live our culture and let spirit heal ourselves
Cultures what we cultivate the people give it health
We simply live our culture and let spirit heal ourselves
Cultures what we cultivate the people give it health
We simply live our culture and let spirit heal ourselves

Cuz we can not afford no more dying in these jungles
The trees humble witnesses to human power struggles
And after all thats happened they stand in dignified prayers
Rooted in reciprocating breathe with clean air
The earth is the only mother that we share
So we give thanks for everyday that we can be here
We hear the sweet music of every creatures movement
Breathe deeply with awareness of human induced confusion
Let go of the ego and be in tune with natures crooning
Infused in every color shade we take in as we're cruising
Steadily remembering melodies with this net i weave
Sharing whats been shared with me of turtle islands remedies
Cultivating inner peace reveals there are no enemies
Emptying my bloodline from poisons from the centipede
