When I ride out it's for the tribe now
I left the old me in the rearview
No staining pockets or aiming rockets
We're buying land back with a good view
I hear them talking I see them watching
They want me to fail I'm too in tune
But when I ride out it's for the tribe now
I left the old me in the rearview
From robbing other broke folks and burglarizing corner stores
To then becoming grown folks raising kids who warrant more
I've come a long way now people give my songs play
Share my story with the youth so they don't do the wrong things
Share my story with the men so they can feel the hope
Share my story with the women so they see the growth
On behalf of Native men can I apologize
It ain't the warrior way to play our ikwe's all them lies
I've been guilty as charged and I can't change the past
But I can put a foot forward to be a better man
Generational trauma a major dent in our armor
It took our fathers away all that remains is our mama's
So when they succumb to drugs and shack up with the thugs
Who put their hands on them it's cause they didn't know love
Youngins don't know better so they resent moms abandonment
Absent dads get no blame cause they weren't in the establishment
(the cycle)
When I ride out it's for the tribe now
I left the old me in the rearview
No staining pockets or aiming rockets
We're buying land back with a good view
I hear them talking I see them watching
They want me to fail I'm too in tune
But when I ride out it's for the tribe now
I left the old me in the rearview
If you wanna change the world go home and love your family
That's gangsta that's frontline and not too shabbily
Importance of relatives can never be understated
Whether chosen through related experience or blood weighted
Love is love but blood ain't love cause blood ain't
Always thicker than water it snubs if just slapping gums
Even fans become fam giving daps and hugs
Trading cash for cuts and giving raps a buzz
Recognize reciprocation when it slaps and thumps
When the words convey a message from the mans above
Transmitted through the thunderbirds when lightning claps debug
Write to the beat of raindrops when tapping glass so tough
Give my thanks to og aimsters and our ancestors
They paved the so we could pray surviving massacres
Love our families and graduate with bachelor's
Degrees so we hold keys no longer passengers
When I ride out it's for the tribe now
I left the old me in the rearview
No staining pockets or aiming rockets
We're buying land back with a good view
I hear them talking I see them watching
They want me to fail I'm too in tune
But when I ride out it's for the tribe now
I left the old me in the rearview
