Risk it
Nahko And Medicine For The People
[Verse 1]
Every cell is transforming
And returning to original concepts to construct
And then I started to shape-shift
And the animals within me grew tails and talons
I hitched a ride on the back of a whale
To the darkest of the ocean and ate off the bottom
And then I traveled dimensions
In the places I rode upon elephants and zebras
Elephants and zebras

[Verse 2]
Well I dream of my future big time, yeah
What it would be like to always have clean water
And if we left the trees standing
And they filtered the air and we breathed it in deeply
So I traveled across Native America
I saw the sickness taking form in all its small children
Well if I could give to my people, yeah
Well a piece of my peace will be with you always
If I could give to my people, yeah
Well a piece of my peace will be with you always
Be with you always
Be with you always
[Pre-Chorus]
I never thought I needed medicine
But I was spiritually dying, I needed some healing
So I opened my mouth and took a dose of the music
Then I sat and prayed for guidance now teach me to use it
I pray for guidance, now teach me to use it
I pray for guidance, now give me the music

[Chorus]
And it definitely matters how you look at it
And it definitely matters how you look at it
So if you think you can risk it, well
What an opportunity to be free of it
Said if you think you can risk it, well
What an opportunity to be free of it

[Verse 3]
I heard the herd, yeah, the wild horses
I we're blazing new trails to uncertain territories
I take a toke and reflect with coyote
And we're dreaming up new ways to bring all the outcasts home
I take my place in the choir
And we're singing new songs of freedom and progress
And we’re delivering the babies, yeah
And we’re birthing up the next seven generations
Said we’re delivering the babies, yeah
And we’re birthing up the next seven generations
Seven generations
Seven generations
[Pre-Chorus]
I never thought I needed medicine
But I was spiritually dying, I needed some healing
So I opened my mouth and took a dose of the music
Then I sat and prayed for guidance, now teach me to use it
I pray for guidance now, teach me to use it
I pray for guidance now, give me the music

[Chorus]
And it definitely matters how you look at it
And it definitely matters how you look at it
So if you think you can risk it, well
What an opportunity to be free of it
Said if you think you can risk it, well
What an opportunity to be free of it

[Outro]
Mouthing off
Such aggressive behavior
I'm sounding off
Holding my temper
It comes in waves
My enemies swim close to me
My heart's displaced
Connected to such bravery
My hunger waits
I cannot swallow, I cannot swallow
I am all over the place
My spirit bellows, My spirit bellows
I am on my way
My body follows, my body follows
Written on my face
Well do not follow, do not follow me
