Levi Dozier - Black Snake (Lyrics)





I sing to them say
Black snake, treading through my land
Tainting our water, we affi take a stand
No Dakota access, oppression is at hand
With 200 different tribes we all chant them down, sing!
Black snake, treading through my land
Tainting our water, we affi take a stand
No Dakota access, oppression is at hand
With 200 different tribes we all chant them down!

Stand in solidarity against our oppressor
We’re the guardians of this here land
The ights have given you and I a blessing so fertile
But dem wan fi turn our luscious forest into sand
Cost come around, cost come around, why they na look forward?
Must be the keepers of earth and adore her
Water is life let us come help support her 
Cost come around, cost come around, why they na look forward?
Must be the keepers of earth and adore her
Water is life let us come help support her 
Why dem knock down? Ancient sites dem run round
Terrorize with gun sounds, dogs and horses thrust out
Attacking the protectors of the earth, see dem understand their worth
We a fight against the oil companies that poison dirt
Why dem knock down? Ancient sites dem run round
Terrorize with gun sounds, dogs and horses thrust out
Attacking the protectors of the earth, see dem understand their worth
We a fight against the oil companies

Black snake, treading through my land
Tainting our water, we affi take a stand
No Dakota access, oppression is at hand
With 200 different tribes we all chant them down, sing!
Black snake, treading through my land
Tainting our water, we affi take a stand
No Dakota access, oppression is at hand
With 200 different tribes we all chant them down!

Nuff dem pipe line bust, dem flammable mess cause fire
Why dem die when dem try and refine her?
Nuff dem dead see the poor coal miner
Nuff dem pipe line bust, dem flammable mess cause fire
Why dem die when dem try and refine her?
Nuff dem dead see the poor coal miner
With profits over people we all end up in the dirt
Lakota spoke about the black snake leave us inert
We all chant down dirty Babylon dem affi burn
Dem a oil kill the trees, dem a oil kill the birds
With profits over people we all end up in the dirt
Lakota spoke about the black snake leave us inert
We all chant down dirty Babylon dem affi burn
Dem a oil kill the trees, dem the birds

Black snake, treading through my land
Tainting our water, we affi take a stand
No Dakota access, oppression is at hand
With 200 different tribes we all chant them down, sing!
Black snake, treading through my land
Tainting our water, we affi take a stand
No Dakota access, oppression is at hand
With 200 different tribes we all chant them down!
