Just Ain’t Right

Written by Rex Smallboy
Music by Tom Crier and Cam Buffalo

CHORUS x 2
There’s people dying on my reservation
And it just ain’t right
There’s mothers crying on my reservation
And it just ain’t right
Nobodies trying on my reservation
And it just ain’t right
Still things just don’t gotta be like this

VERSE ONE

Let me describe a tribe living a ghetto life
Just to live to survive it’s a fight
Suicide, something every ones tried
I feel the pain and the sorrow deep inside
For my tribe and the problems they hide
These kind of things go through my mind
As I find that my people decline with time
So I’ll kick another rhyme
I gotta do it, I’m gonna kick some reality
Not because I want to but because it’s a formality
How many people must commit suicide?
Before we open our eyes and try to realize
That things just don’t gotta be like this
Our native people don’t have to die like this
Say goodbye like this and be sadly missed
When they could have been alive if
They didn’t get pissed that night

CHORUS x 2

VERSE TWO

I lost my cousin its still hard to believe
I never thought that it could happen in this family
Sometimes I find myself pretending like as if he never died
That his mom never cried but still I feel it inside
I like to think about the times that me and him used to have
All the stories that we told the way he could make me laugh
So much that it would bring tears to my eyes
I never thought that he would take his own life
He didn’t seem like the type, I thought he loved life
Sometimes in this world things just don’t seem right
Everyday it’s a fight and every night it’s the same
Get high, get drunk and try to drown away the pain
