"Funk of My Forefathers" by Inali-Wakan (Scott La Rock Original Song)

Another original song I wrote with an obvious Native American influence. I am part Iroquois, and though it is a small part, even if one drop of my blood is from this land - then I am from this land, and will respect this land as our Forefathers did. ~ Peace, Love & Light, Scott (Inali-Wakan)

"Funk of My Forefathers"
Music & Lyrics by Scott "La Rock" Fountain (copyright 2005)


The funk of my Forefathers echoes in this land
and it's not something you can take, or even understand
The funk of my Forefathers rushes past the trees
and if you listen closely, you can hear it in the breeze

(chorus)
Chanting...
[This chant is something you will understand or you won't]

Their "structure" won't let me go
I'm fighting for my life and I am fighting for my soul
and their "structure" is holding me tight
but I still dance around the flames and cry out in the night

(chorus)

The funk of Our Forefathers will never quiet down
and so I call to All the tribes:
Earth People, gather around...
take notice of the Spirit waiting to be found
put your ears down to the ground and you can still hear the sound

(chorus)


"Mitakuye Oyasin" is a prayer for All my relations,
and as we are all related, it is a prayer for you...
