we stuck it through with love

Intro ​(Start with a deep breath) Ten years deep. They said we wouldn't make it. They tried to break us, but we still standing. Listen. ​Verse 1: The Fight and The Healing ​Half Chicano, half Scot, I’m a product of the grind Got the hustle in my blood and my woman on my mind She my queen, Southern Ute, Jicarilla in her veins Registered on the Rez, but she deals with physical pains Quadriplegic in the chair, but her soul is running free Ten years down the line, yeah, she rides or dies with me Before the courts, before the cash, I was battling the lean Opiates and blue pills, trying to keep my spirit clean Withdrawals hitting hard, sweating bullets in the dark But she held me through the fire, gave my soul a brand new spark We broke the chains, threw the poison in the past Resilience in our veins, yeah, we made the healing last. ​Chorus ​Ten years in the trenches, man, we stuck it through with love They were throwing dirt, but it was blessed from up above Through the prejudice and courts, yeah, we stood up on our own Now we sitting on the hill, built a kingdom for our throne Yeah, we stuck it through with love Through the mud, through the blood, man, we stuck it through with love. ​Verse 2: The Families Align ​Both sides of the family, they used to stand apart Disowned us at the gateway, tried to tear us from the start They said a man like me couldn't handle the ride Said the stress of the chair would tear apart our pride But you can’t deny the time, and you can’t deny the scars Now we sitting at the feast under Colorado stars Her elders looked at me, said we gained a new son My people looked at her, said the battle has been won Look at her strength as she sits in that chair Gained a new daughter, now the love is in the air The hate turned to respect, now the family is whole Two cultures, one bond, deep inside the soul. ​Chorus ​Ten years in the trenches, man, we stuck it through with love They were throwing dirt, but it was blessed from up above Through the prejudice and courts, yeah, we stood up on our own Now we sitting on the hill, built a kingdom for our throne Yeah, we stuck it through with love Through the mud, through the blood, man, we stuck it through with love. ​Verse 3: Lift the Order ​We beat the system's lies, beat the poison in the vein Now we standing at the border of the land we gotta claim Got an exclusion order hanging, trying to keep me off the rez Separating me from where my woman’s spirit lives They want to lock the gates, want to keep me in the dark But they forgot the Scottish fire and the Chicano spark With the ancestors watching and the eagles in the sky We gonna get the order lifted, look the judges in the eye No more addiction, no more eviction, we earned our place Two warriors standing tall in the Creator's holy grace. ​Outro ​(The trap beat completely stops. There is a moment of silence, followed by the steady, rhythmic thump-thump, thump-thump of a single hand drum. The man begins to sing, raw and melodic, letting his voice carry the final blessing) ​(Hand drum beats: Thump-thump, thump-thump) Hey-ya-ho-ya... Hey-ya-ho-ya... ​(Singing clearly over the drum) I'm finally back home. I got to come home. They kept me apart... Now I'm sitting here with my heart. ​(One final, echoing strike on the hand drum) (Silence)
