Maria Tallchief ft. Calina Lawrence Lyrics

My syllables tap the beat

Like a ballerina

Sway in the Morning said

Your boy sound like a hyena

Tried to told 'em I was

Molded for this rap arena

Poetic flowing with my feet up

Like I was Maria

They're sipping on sangria

Claiming we're the alcoholics

They're simpin' really cause

We're capable of astronautics

And anything we put our

Native minds and grinds to

Just trust your heart Native child

And passion finds you

Stand tall like Maria

Fly like a firebird

Dream like your destined to

Then bow like a ballerina

Yolo, we might as well

Be some super Natives

Nothing to it but to do it

No superlatives

Life's a struggle yeah

We all go through it Native

Gotta bounce back and

Have a ball like a hooping Native

I come from actors and dancers

And prayers answered

I'm a seed planted from

Talented ancestors

The land blessed us

We the descendants

Natural adapters

Recognize our grammas dreamt this

Our gifts exist

We weave baskets like

Fingers of a pianist

Our

Feet manage to teach our kids to

Keep trying to

Leap and sing

And

Stand tall like Maria

Fly like a firebird

Dream like your destined to

Then bow like a ballerina

Yolo, we might as well

Be some super Natives

Nothing to it but to do it

No superlatives

Life's a struggle yeah

We all go through it Native

Gotta bounce back and

Have a ball like a hooping Native

Like the beautiful

Motion of fancy dancer feet

She toe tapped the floor

With elegance Maria Tallchief

I replicate your glow with

Bars I'm going hard free

Of inhibitions visions of

Excellency my eye sees

It's the essence of our

Spirits and it's in our blood

They invented wine and

Spirits fam we ain't the drunks

They had to give our people

Poison just to dim our shine

When you get back in touch

With you then you'll be true to thine

Stand tall like Maria

Fly like a firebird

Dream like your destined to

Then bow like a ballerina
