Give It All Songtext
von Nahko & Medicine for the People

It′s made a fractured line
Looks like it's from God
Maybe God was my dog

Time to pull out my paints
Brand new canvas, get things straight
There are no lines here
Double rainbows make Great Lakes
Koda spoke Anishinaabe
She is a keeper

Let her open
Everywhere I see is stress
Wonder what we gon′ lose next
Well it won't be sweet love 'cause

It′s my lesson, it′s my teacher
Malcolm X or Martin Luther
And I am neither
Perfect world what is this
Does it even exist
And would I live there?


If I can learn to be alone
I will always have a home

Give it all you got
Give it all you got
All you've gained and all you′ve lost
And that's a lot
Yeah, that′s a lot

Know the road like dharma bums
From the Catskills toward San Juan
With just an atlas

Well it was magic
Thank you Paul for those directions
Over the bridge or Indian Ocean
Those troubled waters, no longer silenced

In the dream in Uluru I heard brumbies singing to me
And casting lines to Palestine

Aotearoa my Wairua
It's nice to know life like that
From the mauna Standing Rock
There were moments I got lost
Denominators, so fuck the haters


Pa′a ka, down Ecuador
Standing room on the jungle floor
Can't take our language
Can't drink the oil

Lost a baby, lost a friend
Some days my family′s lost again
To the trauma to the war
That′s how I learned to be alone
Coming from a broken home
That's how I learned to be alone
Coming from a broken home

Give me all you′ve got
Give me all you've got
We′ll make stories, we'll make love
And that′s enough
Yeah, that's a lot

We'll make stories, we′ll make love
And that′s a lot
Yeah, that's a lot
