Lyrics
I was born under a birch tree
And I died in the alley
Brother, do you know
Do you know my story
I am strong and deeply woven
With my tongue pressed to my cheek
I have learned from hums and howls
From my family, how to speak
Territory, bought and sold
Forgiveness is in my blood
But my blood runs cold
Oh, the love in the arrow
Oh, the love in my braids
You should have seen me last century
Galloping across history's page
When I close my eyes
There's cracking concrete
And a wish for posterity
Look what I've evolved
Look what I've evolved to be
Living ghetto, could it be
Casting my addictions
Unto thee
White sage, evil out
Slum heart, bleed now
