Lost in the trap... An elder once told me all is not fair Protect what is yours, what's left we can share We're honourable people, Creator, I swear If all you have is your word, would you use it for prayer? They eat from your table, then feed you the scraps They come with offerings to cover their tracks Egocentric intentions, it won't be their last Let the ancestors guide you, don't get lost in the trap An elder once told me, our youth is our future Low and behold, My elders my Luther With a vision I listen because traditions aren't written Through the depths of their deception, a red future has risen They say knowledge is power, I hold my strength in my fist If they can see colour... can we co-exist? We want no favours... they want our space We are power, we want no bait
