Where I Come From
Let me tell you where I come from
I am from my ancestors, the Great Spirit
From South Dakota to Minnesota
From the Good Buffalos to the Hairychins
I rep it to the fullest
For this who I am
Sage and medicine bags
Prayers to dreamcatchers
I am who the wise women raised
From a crazy family
Addictions and drop-outs
Diabetes and amputation
This is where I come from
I’m not ashamed because
I’m going to be the one who’s gonna change
Minnehaha Falls has memories
Good times with me and my family
Cook-outs and birthdays
Frybread and wild rice
Hearing the beat of the drum at powwows
Reminds me why I’m proud to be Lakota
