Tribal

Neke Shutshiinan

Neke mashiihanan nutum tshakuan kauapinimakuiiach

Ninan ou Naskapi iiyuch

Told them all from day one

What matters, don’t say done

Never fade away once 

Born with the mic and break some

This indigenous in the rez

Seen as a savage and that’s till the death

You don’t wanna have it, I bet that’ll be the one you regret

Still represent

Tshe ke mamuinu, muk stahuikunoo

I’m savage, I know and I been at it so long, I ain’t ever gone

Tshe kui shutshenu, mentshi awhuykoon

We savage, I know it, never ask if we’re ever done

Can’t you see me now

Speaking up with no one around

Full-blooded half-breed blasting back 

With the rap that I been laying down

Nomads that can’t be found 

gotta be tribal with that sound

Neihey nii ouu eeyou

Uan ou tshiuau, stiish michisaimitnau

So, it’s like that 

Native with no life hack

Stolen everything about us 

Now we fight back

Oh, It’s like that

Home invaders side tracked

Rose from the ground up

To bring them down and fight back 

Tshe ke mamuinu, muk stahuikunoo

I’m savage, I know and I been at it so long, I ain’t ever gone

Tshe kui shutshenu, mentshi awhuykoon

We savage, I know it, never ask if we’re ever done

I do it daily, going hard with this

Indigenous natives from the north

Climbing the highest peak we never quit 

Back with all of them flows, never leaving out 

My nation my home, believe in my name I gain 

The strength again, beginning to break my goals

Don’t wanna be falling, I’m creeping and I'm coming up

Taking advantage we landed now lifting up

Every level so challenging and I keep battling 

For the whole family gathering knowledge and more

Still every day I’m at war

Putting my people Naskapi nation on the atlas

Tryna conquer the world 

Tshe ke mamuinu, muk stahuikunoo

I’m savage, I know and I been at it so long, I ain’t ever gone

Tshe kui shutshenu, mentshi awhuykoon

We savage, I know it, never ask if we’re ever done

We the Naskapi Nation

A group of people, Indigenous

Connected to one another

Connected to an idea

We stay humble

We Tribal
