LYRIC
Sorry, I apologize. I didn’t mean to be ignorant… arrogant
I just thought it redundant — indigenous people
I mean I thought
I thought we were the people
No, wait… I mean
I thought we are the people?
We are the people
I don’t know if you found it
But, I found it abundant in being redundant
Indigenous people
I thought we were all people
And, indigenous all of us
Why create some sort-a fuss
Make people scream and cuss
Then add the S
Indigenous peoples
Is that racist by definition?
Guess you got me there
I realize once I classify people into peoples
That’s some sort-of racist declaration
And, that’s not what I suggest
I suggest we be less racist
’cause we are the people
We are the people
This is where you come in
The people
One, two… that’s at least me and you
