LYRICS

(INTRO)

you know you always gotta find that part of you that..
that brings you up
testing you
but whatever it is you decide in life
you just gotta know to do it right, you  know
and you gotta know to believe in yourself

(JAYLYFE)

its just another day, I think about life
wanting how to express, so I jump on a mic
I tell em how it is, it's hard to do right
everyday it's a struggle, every night it's a fight
hoping that one day I could be in the spot light
dreams start to fade but I'm feeling alright
yeah I tell em myself, you ain't done yet
or maybe right but this is my life
so I write it in a piece or pen in a paper, talk about life
or talk rap, stay at home Dad, kids are asking me
where you going Dad?
say I'll be back, I won't take long
Momma saying I'm gone but I ain't gone
too busy rapping, that's why I write it in a song
just to make it happen, now I'm trying to stay strong
hoping that one day that I'll make it out
at times like I felt like giving up but..

(TOM POLSON)

gotta keep going, game plan on, never give up
always believing, always believing
this ain't the end, this is the start, we're trying to get up
always believing, always believing



(DAVID HODGES)

the world is a dark place I'm trying to bring the light back
don't want to lose hope, keeping on the right path
what's my identity? don't want to be a typecast
I use my third eye whenever my sight lacks
fight traps, I never wanna get caught
all in this together is our best odds
breath in, the anger's what I let off
music is my life so forever will my head bop
y'all guessed wrong if you thought that I would die slow
a rhyme flow, designed to let my mind go
divine soul, still praying with my eyes closed
wishing that my people who be struggling will find hope
and I know that my days are numbered
you can hear it in my voice got the pain and hunger
so I stay bright and make life realer than I ever thought
better off found in myself trying to set it off


(TOM POLSON)

gotta keep going, game plan on, never give up
always believing, always believing
this ain't the end, this is the start, we're trying to get up
always believing, always believing

(JAYLYFE) (CHANTS - GEORGE OTTEREYES)

there's always a part of you 
that's going to make you feel like it's never enough
like you don't fit it
but it doesn't matter
just believe in yourself man


(NAKONEE)

you see I'm just a Native with a dream
put in reality these dreams that I see
nothing last forever in these streets
especially your life trying to make it right
thinking twice before I make mistakes
you see it's funny these mistakes told me to write this song
trying to make it home but this road that I chose feels so long
inspired by the lights and the people back home
this business told me to never give it up
it may seem hard but never give up
forever a Cree is what I remain to be
trying to get out of this community

(TOM POLSON)

gotta keep going, game plan on, never give up
always believing, always believing
this ain't the end, this is the start, we're trying to get up
always believing, always believing

LYRICS

(T-BONE)

time to take the time to make these people rise and shine
through the music, now I know, to help em find a way to go
people losing hope again, time to lend a helping hand
help them when they feeling low, pick them up and help them grow
man, the people watching them struggle, no one gives a helping hand
that's why we gotta hustle, keep on moving down the road
even with a heavy load, through the stormy weather
someday we'll be better, and I know cause I've been told

(JayLyfe)

ain't no giving up this road, holding on to what I'm told
that's the thing we gotta show, learn to love and grow
give it all you got, that's what people wanna know
what you really feel inside, inside a heart that glows
we need to come out the comfort zone, thinking about the people  
living life alone, you ain't alone
now you stand strong, as it's written in the song
keep on living on, you keep on living on

(Selena Neeposh) - Alexandre Blacksmith (Trumpet)

we can find a way
searching for the road
I don't wanna change
I just wanna grow

cause we don't learn same
so learn who I am
Ill do what it takes
to follow out His plans


(David Hodges) 

I heard there is a way, so I'm a find it
but they try to keep my brain in confinement 
but I don't wanna be tamed, I'm a lion
aiming for the stars in outspace, I'm in alinement
there is no better feeling than the one of being loved love
my heart is overjoyed and it's beating like a drum
resonating in a world that is reaching for the sun
as we're shaking off the rust, can't believe what we've become
working together for the good and our common goals
shedding some light on those considered forgotten souls
taking it to places I never thought I'd go
trying to be a voice for the kids who are all alone
follow the road, that is leading me to greatness
hoping for my people, believing we will make it
so hold my hand, and we'll walk as a team
with this passion that got us to dream


(Selena Neeposh) - Alexandre Blacksmith (Trumpet)

we can find a way
searching for the road
I don't wanna change
I just wanna grow

cause we don't learn same
so learn who I am
Ill do what it takes
to follow out His plans



(Joy Kitchen) 

Because of you my eyes shine with a sparkle
Because of you, you brighten up my world with a grin and glance
Because of you, you are my joy of every day
Because of you, there's love in my mind and soul
Because of you my world will never end
Because of you I will never be alone again
So because of you, I will always love you forever
Forever you are mine and forever I am yours
Forever you are mine and forever I am yours


(Selena Neeposh) - Alexandre Blacksmith (Trumpet)

(CHORUS)

Who's REZ is this?
The REZ is mine, the REZ is mine, the REZ is mine
Who's REZ is this?
The REZ is yours, the REZ is yours, the REZ is yours
Who's REZ is this?
The REZ is mine, the REZ is mine, the REZ is mine
Who's REZ is this?
The REZ is yours, the REZ is yours, the REZ is yours

(ILL KIMMI)

22, I think my mind is blown
torn to the fact that the world is cold, so gone
my positive mentality is told
watch yourself now
cause you're now only going to be on your own
that's how people see themselves
it's you against the REZ
you and you alone, some say we drifted apart
I can say you never called my phone BUT
questions become flashbacks and memories
and that's when I begin to feel attached 
to these old flames that burning me
hurting me, wounded so bad I need the surgery
you heard of me, walking down the street with a herd of thieves
snatching your heart when you walk away like you never heard of me
please heat felt within these words
you had your try now it's my turn
let me amaze you with a lyrical sense
picture perfect with a different lens
you can take your camera out and we could pretend that we
never had a beautiful beginning just a nasty end
which lead to becoming perfect strangers
rather than distant friends

(CHORUS)

Who's REZ is this?
The REZ is mine, the REZ is mine, the REZ is mine
Who's REZ is this?
The REZ is yours, the REZ is yours, the REZ is yours
Who's REZ is this?
The REZ is mine, the REZ is mine, the REZ is mine
Who's REZ is this?
The REZ is yours, the REZ is yours, the REZ is yours

(ILL KIMMI)

ever since my teen years, I've been into this rap biz 
but never took it seriously, thought I'd be better without it
now I'm 22, spitting rhymes like a habit
yeah, gotta a music note...tatted
say Kimmi got talent, take it, further grasp it
people in the past, which could look passed it
so that's what I'm going to do, live life my way
never according to you, but you don't gotta assume
too naive and a fool I was told
the only way out is the only way through

(CHORUS)

Who's REZ is this?
The REZ is mine, the REZ is mine, the REZ is mine
Who's REZ is this?
The REZ is yours, the REZ is yours, the REZ is yours
Who's REZ is this?
The REZ is mine, the REZ is mine, the REZ is mine
Who's REZ is this?
The REZ is yours, the REZ is yours, the REZ is yours

(DAVID HODGES)

rolling through the rez of Ouje, I'm so game
music for your soul like Coltrane, oh wait
Im blowing up the spot with propane, the flow great
this is hip-hop like back in the old days
go Dave, let me take it for a second
you're ill Kimmi, I'll even place on the record
we on fiyah, straight up blazing up the session
we chasing what is destined, great enough to get it
calling the shots like snooker pool, looking cool
this is fresh out the oven like we cooking food
making classics, check what my crew can do
we here live up in Ouje-Bougoumou
back then you couldn't get me to spit
now I'm Up North asking y'all quick..Who's REZ is this?

(CHORUS)

(Angel Baribeau)

Where did it wrong
I'd really like to know
why'd it take so long
to learn to let THINGS go
I say now
but they say later
I say this loud, I'm motivated
reaching for the stars, I'm trying to make it... 

(Joylene Brien)

if I fall I'll catch myself
if you need, just ask for help
I'll carry you on my shoulders

if you fall, I'll  pick you up
if you need, I'll give you love
we're fighting it 'til it's over

CHORUS
(Angel Baribeau & Entire Group)

You wrote the words and now I'm free
I was broken and you fixed me
the love inside my family tree
is carved for all eternity

Remember me, I'm on my way
to fulfil my destiny 
we believe in what we say 
stand as one community

OH OH
You will never let me go
OH OH
You will never let me go

(Roger "Cool Breeze" Neeposh)
there's no place like my hometown
when I leave this place feels like I'm going down
no other space that can give me a frown
and at the same time a smile, it's been a long while
that I've seen a sunny day, hey what can I say?
this is the REZ that I love the most
the family showing love and the people round me
Lake Mistissini is the place for me

(Patrick Loon)
I ain't no quitter but it's hard to be together
I promised that I'll love her, always and forever
and that's faith girl, and she knows it
she means the whole world to me and I'll show it
there ain't a doubt that you make me happy
we can't be together and I could say that sadly
cause I'm good man, with a good heart
let's go back girl, is how we could start


CHORUS
(Joylene Brien & Entire Group)

You wrote the words and now I'm free
I was broken and you fixed me
the love inside my family tree
is carved for all eternity

Remember me, I'm on my way
to fulfil my destiny 
we believe in what we say 
stand as one community

OH OH
You will never let me go
OH OH
You will never let me go

(DAVID HODGES)
I just wanna be heard, I just wanna live life
always try to encourage, show world what I think like
that's why I'm lending these thoughts
inventing these songs, as I'm testing the odds
blessing by the God, who has giving me a way
used sing in my room, my Momma thinking I was strange
it's the same melody, now I'm singing it for change
so I put the music on when my spirit is in pain

(Kenneth Longchap)
in Mistissini, this is where I'm born and raised
big rock, big shock, this is more than game
started out as a small place, look at it now
big race, big place, yeah I'm repping it loud
I'm just young guy, trying to look fly
got my head high as I'm reaching for the sky
Kenneth on the mic, and I'm hitting the track
we'll never let it go, as we bringing it back 

CHORUS
(Angel Baribeau, Joylene Brien & Entire Group)

You wrote the words and now I'm free
I was broken and you fixed me
the love inside my family tree
is carved for all eternity

Remember me, I'm on my way

OH OH
You will never let me go

entertaining the world elevating my rep
this is music to most, I'm influencing those
who are choosing the road filled with truth that is 
using a movement to grow, and I'm proving to show
that I'm taking it all, it's too soon to be bold

I know how you feel bro, just stand strong
life may be hard even though it feels wrong
it's gonna be fine when the sun comes out
the clouds go away, bring the power now
for another day, recharge my batteries
like the energizer bunny, gotta keep it happening
I can't stop, won't stop, I keep going
I gotta fight for another day and keep growing

(Gary "Maestro" Jolly)
I used to shovel yours, now it's your turn to take this
I turned what you gave me into greatness
when you gonna face that you're not going to make it
now I'm on top on the spot and all the stages
the Northstars are famous, they know what our name is
and cause of you I'm someone and you're nameless
I'm living my dreams and it feels amazing
I guess all I'm trying to say is

HOOK
you cant tell me how to live my life
I'm doing me and I think it's right *and I think it's right*
so boost me up and help..  give me flight
well all right then, well all right then

nobody will be bringing me down 
hands up as I'm singing this loud *as I'm singing this loud* 
all smiles, for the different and proud
well all right then, well all right then

(Tyra Tanoush)
I'm a do my best and work my hardest
at something that I wanna be, I gotta put my heart in
but haters keep bringing me down, I'm chained up
I can't be free unless I push way up
can't stop me, I'm a reach my goals, 
stand proud and be and feed my soul
they call me nobody, I don't care what they say
cause I'm a wolfgirl, here to tear up the game

(Elton "Eltonio" Salt)
well I'm just chilling out here, spitting the truth
releasing all of my knowledge, spreading it with the youth
telling everyone of them, you're a solider, so what I told ya
so let's go down in history as the best
but the world doesn't understand greatness, pretending why
everybody wants to be famous, don't ask why
cause I'm in this to win this
it's only fair that I'm in this cause I'm destined for greatness

(David Hodges)
I used to be afraid, to share myself and speak my brain
looking back now, I never thought I'd see the day
no time to focus on the haters cause I got a dream to chase
and if it starts bring me down, I hit the track and free the pain
can't be effected, trying to maintain the confidence
this is food for thought and your plate is filled with awesomeness
never change how you want to live, be brave cause you're called to win 
and feeling great is the consequence

(Isaiah Wapachee)
waking up with the feeling like a different plan
hoping the day goes good thinking of a plan
but then again everything seems to go wrong
so I dropped out of school, couldn't hold on
thought it was cool, hung out with the wrong group
getting in trouble with the 5-0, bending rules
waking up in a cell, so I wanted out
so I decided to change my whole life around

HOOK
you cant tell me how to live my life
I'm doing me and I think it's right
so boost me up and help..  give me flight

leaving something...something..
something for the new generation


(DAVID HODGES)

I put my hand out and ask if you want it
let's create a life, choose the path of an artist
I wanna be free, and the plans are always calling
but I'm falling from the struggle, and I'm asking for my God
to give me grace, I keep the faith, my mind's about to hit the wall 
I hear so many voices and I wanna share them all
so tell me if you're lonely, it is time to get involved
let's bring the world together, everybody stand tall,
listen let's have a ball

(Neesha Shecapio)
I'm afraid of change, afraid of growing up
but it's all the same, my home has showed me love
though I gotta leave, I have these dreams to fulfil
before my world is done and gone

even though I'm scared, nothing is holding me back
I know where I'm from, my elders been on the path
they've been through the storm, fighting for my future
now I'm here, showing what we have


(Neesha Shecapio) HOOK
when the road gets rough
these eyes get low
my soul needs love
so I will show 

I'm a small house 
ready to open the door now
finding my way out


(Shaidean Mianscum) 
the river pulls me back
underneath the waves
I'll keep swimming on
hoping I get saved

do you hear me now?
I feel so afraid
I am screaming loud
do you know my name?


(Neesha Shecapio)
cause I'm a light if I just let my colours show
I look up to the sky and I just want to go
I feel like flying when the Heavens touch my soul, my soul

cause I've been given life, and it won't go to waste
built up on a rock, and that's how my home is made
and when I'm falling that is when I'll hold my faith, my faith


(Neesha Shecapio)HOOK
when the road gets rough
these eyes get low
my soul needs love
so I will show 

I'm a small house 
ready to open the door now
finding my way out

(Ronita Kitty)
I'm a young girl, with big dreams
wanna go far, wanna see things
the world is big, gotta live free
wanna share my heart, do you get me? 
blue skies, gotta go with it 
dark times, so I put a little hope in it 
my soul singin', wanna open de door
I know we've been chosen for more

(David Hodges)
I'm a young guy here, with a big heart
but sometimes I fear, I don't think smart
wanna light up the dark world and give sparks
but when I lose my drive, gotta switch cars
live hard, never give up, reach high
paint pictures that's how I see life
climb mountains taking a steep stride
I'm awake, let me show what I dream like 


(Neesha Shecapio)HOOK

when the road gets rough
these eyes get low
my soul needs love
so I will show 

I'm a small house 
ready to open the door now
finding my way out

finding my way out
finding my way out
finding my way out
finding my way out


when the road gets rough
these eyes get low
my soul needs love
so I will show 

I'm a small house 
ready to open the door now
finding my way out

my God is an awesome God
He reigns from the Heavens above
whenever I feel troubled and lost
He saves me with the message of love
I'm alive and I'm blessed enough
people doubt, and they question us
I've been left and shunned, in the depths of scum
gotta get me up to repent and flush
my sins out, so when I think bout 
back then, I'm happy that this is how I live now
switched routes, staying in the right lane
find light in the Lord gotta bright faith
life saved, eternally grateful
I am weak, and I know that I've shamed You
but You want my heart, and I really wanna try
give it all to You, give You all my life

when nights get dark, I feel like I'm lost and afraid

(Claude Weapinacappo)

I say it's time we learn and give it what it needs

(Christian "Wizard" Stewart)
there is love in the air, AND I CAN"T REALLY HELP IT
but I can tell you bout a trap that I fell in
cause I'm the type of guy that wants to feel a rush
sitting around and doing nothing ain't enough
I've seen so many older guys, acting REZed out
but those the type guys.. that I forget now
cause I just wanna rise, and be a better man
not looking at tomorrow, today's a better plan
I'm just a young guy that's 16, with big dreams
and if I die tonight, I want y'all to miss me
so that means,.. I wanna make you feel good
I had a rough past.... but I'll still look
learn as my journey keeps walking on
I have a great Dad, I have an awesome Mom
wanna discover where I'm from.. and make it real
I wanna be remembered, it's time we paint the hills

(Roselyn Matches) Hook
You are not alone
I have seen the same
we're all in need of hope
don't want to feel this pain
let's take back what is owned
paint the hills with grace
and share what is untold

(Roberta Hughboy)
the truth has slipped your ears
*hold on*
fallen off the edge
*hold on*
conquering our fears
*hold on*
all the years we've spent
*hold on*

(David Hodges)
so much hatred in this world, I feel we'll fade to dark
unless we're changing what we're seeing in our lives
I want plant this flag on up the hill, and make my mark
my heart is overwhelmed with thoughts so I speak my mind
these demons in my head, I say leave me alone
I'm praying to the Lord that you could save me still
life's a metaphor, so I relate and read these poems
I wanna be remembered, it is time we paint the hills,

(Roselyn Matches) Hook
You are not alone

not here alone, I got my friends with me

I see it in your eyes that you are growing proud and humble
I have heard about your past and oh how you've struggle
but deep inside, there exists a broken heart
that's hoping for today's youth to outgrow the scars
I know it's hard, but please take this as a gesture
one step at a time, we're striving for the better

(Jonathan Louttit)
it's hard to accept what kids are growing up to be
dropping out of school it's they got their degree
to be on the streets being pulled by the weak
used by your peeps like a sign that says "Free"
I'm like a wolf in the cold just searching for meat
so I can feed my pack in this endless grief
sometimes it's hard to speak what I keep inside
so I just lay it down on the track with rhymes

(Christian Monias)
can't see me, I've been lurking man, I'm straight up from the woods
I gotta run it while I'm hunting, I gotta do what I could
just to live in this cold, its so cold out here
you gotta live your life with no regrets and no fear
they'll tell you that you gotta keep your eyes open
keep your heart in the moment, always keep your mind flowing
never let them take you down, be ready to strike
howling at the moon like we own this night

black waterfalls that haunt my dreams
there are zombies in this world and they taunt my needs
things are not really going how I want them to
I will fight for my love all I want is you
singing mends the heart now I feel at ease  

(David Hodges)
life is hard every day I hustle
can you relate with pain and struggle
there is a light down the caves and tunnels
I won't go quiet, you can take my muzzle
breathe in, breathe out, tryna feel air
speak truth, let us show em that we still care
look death in the eyes with a real stare
from the heart, is something to reveal there?

I'm strong enough to overcome what kept me in a dump

I gotta figure out just how to live this life
struggle every day, never give up that fight
I'm trying to get it right, I gotta find the light

Words from the author.

This vision and these words came to my spirit during a counselling session I had on March 1, 2014. What you read is different from what you hear in the recording. I wrote this vision when I returned from my counselling, it’s the original piece. The recording was done a week or so later, and what you hear, it was a first time I translated it into Cree, a one-time recording, it’s the original piece. It almost doesn't sound like me in the beginning, but this is real and it’s dedicated to all the Youth of Eeyou/Eenou Istchee; the Nishiiyuu Grandchildren. 

“For the Nishiiyuu Grandchildren”

Today, my spirit travelled. It travelled to my childhood camp. I see the rising of the sun, over the peaceful looking cabins.  The various colours of the leaves on the trees on the ground bring out the beauty of this traditional place where I spent the first few years of my life. There is no one around, it looks empty, yet it feels so rich; rich in tradition, culture, history & strength.

In spirit, I hear a message, it comes from the winds of the north and it’s from my grandparents, my great-grandparents…the ancestors that enriched this traditional territory…and these are the words that I hear:

“Nuushim-nan… We are very sorry for the void that you feel. The void you've carried in your life; you've searched for attention, to feel loved & to feel protected. We are part of the blame because of this void. 

You see Nuushim-nan, some terrible things happened to us & our people. Things caused by the white system of the residential schools. These hurtful things we've passed on to our children, our grand-children & great-grandchildren. These are part of the reasons why you felt the lack of attention, the lack of protection and the lack to feel loved. Nuushim-nan we are very sorry for this, forgive us.

Nuushim-nan, you see where you are. Look at the beauty of this place. Carry this with you, for it’ll give you strength when things get hard for you.

Nuushim-nan, you know the love this place has, the love we have for you. Carry this love with you wherever you go. Let this love guide you. You were made with love Nuushim-nan.

Always remember we are with you. Fill this void with this unconditional love. You can stop now, stop trying to fill this emptiness by searching for attention, love & protection in the wrong ways & places. All you need to do Nuushim-nan is look deep within yourself. You will find love in you. Give your heart the attention it needs & tend to it with your spirit. Because it is in spirit that we have a strong connection, & it’s that connection you have with us and with the land that will give you strength. And it’s that love & connection you have with our Great Spirit that will forever protect you, because you are Nishiiyuu.

HEYA HEYA HEYA x 2

(Jade Mukash)
You will be my journey
and I will find my way
to the purest sunsets
the land, the trees, the bay

(Davina Cooper)
once I finally get there
I won't forget to breathe
knowing you're my river
live your legacy

(Crystal Snowboy, Jade Mukash & Brent Masty)

walk on snow, yeah we walk on ice
the wind will blow when the timing's right
duh duh duh duh
carry the drums through the darkest night

keep our land, don't lose that fight
squeeze your hands and use that might
duh duh duh duh
carry the drums til the morning light

(Jade Mukash, Brent Masty & Maggie Sandy Jr) HOOK

You could be my legend
and I could tell your tale
You give me the current
and I will always sail
to you I make this promise
our land we'll fight to keep
cause we are all Nishiiyuu
Nishiiyuu and me

(Mariah Wapachee) 
remember where you from
stay connected to your roots
OH WHAP OH WHAP OH WHAP
always do what you love
and you'll never be the fool
OH WHAP OH WHAP OH WHAP
keep heading to the sun
light the world with what you do
OH WHAP OH WHAP OH WHAP 
carry on the drums
play the rhythm of the truth
OH WHAP OH WHAP OH WHAP

(David Hodges)
I'm retracing your steps as you sharing stories
I'm living in your future, you prepared it for me
you gotta know your past to represent your heritage
the Eeyou Istchee, let's tell these people where you live

(Shawn Masty)
Ashkw wash ashkw wash nii in chishchaytan
In tan ka iish itshkuutimashuuyan
Muk tan, muk tan ka iish nitshkiman
A tik'ch in taych in tan cha iishpimshkuushiiyan

(Jade Mukash, Brent Masty & Maggie Sandy Jr) HOOK

You could be my legend
and I could tell your tale
You give me the current
and I will always sail
to you I make this promise
our land we'll fight to keep
cause we are all Nishiiyuu
Nishiiyuu and me

(Jade Mukash BRIDGE)
the light we set for others
will help them understand
a history to discover
don't let them take a glance

it's in your skin, it's in your hands
it's in your eyes, it's in your past
it's in your blood, it's in your soul
it's in your heart, don't let it go...

Brent Masty Guitar solo

(Jade Mukash, Brent Masty & Maggie Sandy Jr) HOOK

You could be my legend
and I could tell your tale
You give me the current
and I will always sail
to you I make this promise
our land we'll fight to keep
cause we are all Nishiiyuu
Nishiiyuu and me
