T-Shirt (Live AF Version)

Well string them feathers in my long hair

And put me on a plain t-shirt the fans will wear

It won't be in loving memory

But just so you can sell to aid your utilities

But let me see that quantum

Cause it looks to me

You've never laid eyes on a CDIB

So what the hell you tryna represent?

Is it the genocide of our kind or your lament

There's no Cherokee fiddle but the cowboys

Are still tryna pull off stepping out in leather and turquoise

I've never known a headdress to be an iron on

At least y'all ain't forgot whose land you're standing on

Can't teach a man to live life or how to make it out alive

Without em taking all you had to survive

But we're still kickin' live in the flesh

After all your wasted time used to oppress

Been known as a savage

By the ones who ravaged

And tore through the home that we have made

Back when a pale face

Could be so out of place

In what they call America these days

Oh can't you see

That without me

You'd have a plain white tee

We're a mighty voice

Heard through the land

You call us names but we're the one true American

And we had our freedom

Well long before

Lead was spread in our yard from a British war

Oh I'd be ashamed

I'd feel so blue

To treat a man like he ain't the shit on your shoe

I can say this country

Is built on the lies

And all the broken promises you try to hide

Been known as a savage

By the ones who ravaged

And tore through the home that we have made

Back when a pale face

Could be so out of place

In what they call America these days

Oh can't you see

That without me

You'd have a plain white tee
