Sunrise (feat. Jahkota)

Sunrise, ceremony. Thank the ancestors who came before me We survived genocide that's a true story. And the fact that we're alive is a testimony It's a new dawn, it's a new day. Shout out to the matriarchs who are leading the way! We were born resilient, true say. Too many suffer in this world, that's why I pray Thanking the creator for this water that I drink, life moves so fast, then it's gone in a blink You can learn more about me from my tattoo ink, I always live my truth I don't care what haters think The good live and die way too quick. Love or hate... You pick! Kinda like seal oil, I'm too slick Music is my passion, fire to my qulliq Sunrise, Ceremony Woke up this morning to the Arctic sun, from a beautiful dream that my mind had spun Sun kissing my face with its loving grace, feel the warmth of the love in my kids embrace I went to sleep happily, under stars wrapping me, surrounded by my family, center of my gravity I love this place, they love this place... the snow, the stone, it's their land, it's their home base When I think about where I'm from, land where the dogs have harnesses on We mark our faces for the flames of the sun, soot from the qullik as ink for our tunniit The return of the sun, the sound of the drum, this is where I'm from In the brink of the early morning sunrise, Iglulik skyline, pink and purple intertwined
