Miracle

[Chorus - Maimouna Youssef]
We need a miracle
Spirit of the Ghost Dance
Light up this prayer grass in my hand
Take it to the most high
We need a blessing tonight
Stand by our side, side as we fight
Screaming out "water is life!"

[Verse 1 - Supaman]
Hey yo, all around the world
My sisters and my brothers hurt
So I start this verse with the
Heartbeat of Mother Earth
I say a prayer and put it down for what's it worth
For those who oppose, who only see color first
For my two sons, my daughter and wife
And the father of lights
I started to fight, started with mics
Ready to die like a martyr tonight
With my fist in the sky saying "water is life"

And yo
It takes the nation and millions to hold us back
This is treaty land, we see the scams
And yo, we know the facts
Evil collapses and cowers in fear
The hour is near; let the world unite with the power of prayer
Yeah, our family rise, defy gravity
We gonna keep on rhyming and climbing and shine happily
A masterpiece with my whole body glistening
Ay yo, we still here, is there anybody listening?
From Flint, Michigan
To my Egyptian friends
Minnesota, all around the world, are you listening?

[Chorus x2]

[Verse 2 - Maimouna Youssef]
[...] Wakan Tanka
We in the belly of the beast with these wicked monsters
When we trying to keep the peace then they take us under
Is it better a Beretta underneath my bomber?
We was pleading to the governors and the Obamas
We ain't even want a lot, just some clean water
Just a little bit of life for our sons and daughters
If a penny for your thoughts, then I'm throwing quarters
Cuz they never think about the all people poorer
Only rich and the white get the right to water
If we feud or if we fight, we become the martyrs
Throwing federal charges at Lakota laywers
I salute the true courage of our red warriors
Against all odds, my people pushing forward
Wished we had've met the Pilgrims at the border
With a travel ban, pushed them back into the water
Put a sign up on the rock saying "Don't loiter"
Or maybe a tall wall would have been in order
Cuz we gave them liberty and they gave us slaughter
No land of the free for my forefathers
Now we're praying for miracles with tobacco offers
To a power that's higher than any man-made office
As the prophecy unfolds, as the wins and losses
God trumps all self-proclaimèd bosses
In the end, when they squandered all the earth's resources
They will learn their children cannot eat their coffers
A miracle

[Chorus x2]
