HomeTiwahe- Pine Ridge, South Dakota.
This is for everyone around the planet
That wishes they were from somewhere other than where
They’re standing,
Don’t take it for granted.
Instead, take a look around,
Quit complaining and build something on that ground!
Plant something on that ground!
Dance and sleep on that ground!
Get on your hands and knees and watch the ants walk
Around the ground!
Make a family!
Make magic!
Make a mess!
Take the stress,
Fill your motivation,
And build your nest!
It sucks that you think where I’m from is whack,
But as long as that’s enough to keep your ass from coming back.
And with a smile and a hint of sarcasm he says
“I beg your pardon, but this is my secret garden!”
So if the people laugh and giggle when you tell ‘em where you live
Say “shh…”, say “shh..”
And if you know this is where you wanna raise your kids
Say “shh…”, say “shh..”
If you’re from the Midwest and it doesn’t matter where
Say “shh…”, say “shh..”
If you can drink tap water and breathe the air
Say “shh…”, say “shh..”
If the playground is clear of stems and syringes
Say “shh…”, say “shh..”
And if there’s only one store in your town that sells twelve-inches
Say “shh…”, say “shh..”
If no one in your crew walks around with a gun
Say “shh…”, say “shh..”
And if you ain’t gonna leave ‘cause this is where you’re from
Say “shh…”, say “shh..”-Atmosphere
Shhh….
