lyrics

who shot the young man?
it was the deputy
who was the gunman?
it was the neo nazis
who killed that woman?
and got away scott free
it was the sheriff
and he had skin like me
like me
take a look around
la-dee la-dee
what’s going down?
homie homie
who runs this town ?
not me not me
but I could look just like the boss, and

you should say his name
so you remember
you should say their names
so you remember
this for that girl Tina Fontaine
you will be remembered
they let that drifter walk away
we will avenge her
on the day Colton was slain
there was a messenger
and so I heard his name
and I will remember

Anesia Steve:

you should say their names
so you remember
one time for Tina Fontaine
so you remember
no we won’t forget, no we won’t forget
the missing and murdered
so we say their names
so we remember

Snotty Nose Rez Kids
by Snotty Nose Rez Kids

Lyrically one of the best Hip-Hop duos to come out of so-called Canada, ever. They have a Lil' Wayne type wit to their bars but with an edge only Indigenous Hip-Hop artists could wield. Rupert Common

Attachment Disorder
by HK - Higher Knowledge

HK aka Higher Knowledge brings that hood therapy. His experiences as a foster kid, gang member and now youth worker and community builder mean his lyrics are full of healing and retribution. Rupert Common
