It Is Written - Nahko and Medicine For The People

Gathering the nations

Prepare my relations

For spiritual battle, battle

I have my doubts

But there’s no time for that now

Gotta recharge my channel

For medicate, resist, meditate

Keep righteous walking

Steady load and locking

There ain’t no stoppin'

This bullet, load it, pull it

Bullet, load it, pull it

Fully-loaded poet

It was changing so fast

I barely kept up with it

Calling on my spirit guides

I was up in Sitka

South-east Alaska

Forgot to ask her

If I’d survive the next chapter

Born in the 'Frisco, city of angels

Above the prophecies, up upon the table

Tangled in my spirit teacher’s angles

Middle finger to the Star-Spangled

And I know I’m ready

Big message, heavy

Gotta learn to carry

What comes to me directly, said

It is written

It is written

It is written

Gathering the nations

Prepare my relations

For spiritual battle, battle

I have my doubts

But there’s no time for that now

Gotta recharge my channel

For medicate, resist, meditate

Keep righteous walking

Steady load and locking

There ain’t no stoppin'

This bullet, load it, pull it

Bullet, load it, pull it

Fully-loaded poet

So I went to see my sister

Past, present, future

Help me remember

How to surrender

Oh, Yellowstone

Great mystery unknown

And if you blow

Poca River still flows

Puerto Rico

Part of my ancestry

Some day I’ll go

Part of my destiny

Minneapolis, cause it romances

Anishinaabe, sharing me the wisdom

I know we’re ready

Big message, heavy

Gotta learn to carry

What comes to us directly, said

It is written

It is written

It is written

Gathering the nations

Prepare my relations

For spiritual battle, battle

I have my doubts

But there’s no time for that now

Gotta recharge my channel

For medicate, resist, meditate

Keep righteous walking

Steady load and locking

There ain’t no stoppin'

This bullet, load it, pull it

Bullet, load it, pull it

(hey, hey)

Take your time with every little thing

Every little thing, take time

Take your time with every little thing

Every little thing, take time

Take your time!

Take your time!

With every little thing, take your time

Yeah, with every little thing, take your time, yeah
