Wanachida! Through the pain, I found peace Cold concrete in the deepest of the deep of the belly of the beast It's where I found my sleep The colonizers couldn't tame my soul I'm a human being and I was whole when they found me in my homeland Now it's stolen And what they took, they replaced with a book (Talilo) I'm finding my way and I got to be brave and I look in to the mirror to be saved Navigate my hate when I’m on this base am I gonna be dying today? I don’t know fa sho Sabi nang Nanay ko (my mother told me) Na ito ay si Marcos (this is Marcos) Wanted a war to be off of the shores, on course to Vietnam Generation scars that kill the songs inside of my shamanism heart Taking my prayers to the other gods that aren’t mine Cuz I been so blinded by the sight of my eyelids on islands I never know why I've been seeing my people confide in America lying on top of the genocide of our people Ang mga kastila (the Spaniards) Sinubukan na kunin ang aming kultura (tried to take our culture) Wala ka sa amin (you got nothing on us) Dumura kami sa libingan mo (we spit on your grave) May tattoo pa rin ako (I still have tattoos) They don't know Our sun drops rays on the blood lines The guns that killed our parents are brought with us on the frontlines And this happened more than one time 7 thousands islands divided but we are one tribe in prayer (Toni Hill) My people, my people, my people We’ll make it through, hold on to faith We’ll make it through, my people say We’ll make it through, stand firm fist raised We’ll make it through... (Mic Crenshaw) The Reagan era The the way they portrayed us explains The images your imagination conveys The banging and gangs Rodney king and the riots in LA The state was oppressive, abusive Repressive and ruthless Fluent in the language of violence I saw a lot of cats dying Trying to shine off the refined product provided They were buying from government supplying Rights of passage, life just passes Sometimes tragic like the fabric just opens up Growing up to know enough The way death kept showing up Throwing us away No one gets to stay beyond a legacy Police blowing us away every day That’s a heavy price to pay Every life they take Something's got to give, something's gotta break For Creations sake, I pray (Quincy Davis) Growing up with no role models The only motive we know is be down to ride full throttle Memories of my tribe getting high rolling A year later just like the big homie I’m overdosing Not to death but to psychosis Feel the weight of these demons on my soul is too heavy to hold on, I’m hopeless Feeling hideous this world is insidious And my city is covered in clouds dark as obsidian Living with no lineage or roots I can hold onto But I know my truth Used to look up to the dealers Now I’m looking up to healers And look into my shadow where the fear is... Transformed to love Til' there’s nothing left and I’m fearless Shedding blood praise the Great Spirit Ceremony of life in service to Creation Do we hear the call of Mother Earth and Seven Generations? (Toni Hill) My people, my people, my people We’ll make it through, hold on to faith We’ll make it through, my people say We’ll make it through, stand firm fist raised We’ll make it through, and find our way My people... My people, my people, my people We’ll make it through, one life We’ll make it through, one tribe We’ll make it through, one life We’ll make it through, one tribe

(Verse 1) I grew up lookin up to the dealers, now I’m lookin up to the healers now I’m tryin to hustle this medicine in my music can you feel it? livin the change is feelin the pain sometimes, but you don’t have to feel it again… from years past them nightmares are still in my veins, engrained into my memory the difference is, now I look into mirror and see no enemy I chose to play this game that’s more competitive than it’s ever been with snakes so venomous, that spit that poisonous rhetoric but I transform it into the medicine that make me a better man I’m all in, God couldn’t give me no better hand, I trust that but I never was one to trust no devilish reverend blazin up blunts with bible passages laced wit amphetamines pass it around the casket of my past, R.I.P, give my sentiments turn my back, moving forward, now to life I give my reverence on stages, blazin mics it’s a marvelous sight to see these visions manifest from the pages, as the novelist write (Chorus) when the nights get cold shadows reaching for ya soul we will be that light house, light house to help ya find ya way home (Verse 2) I know one day I’ll blow up, I wonder if it’s my time yet? these dreams been on consignment, but that devil is in the fine print land of smoke and mirrors, what’s left when that smoke clears? what’s left when you have no fear? I represent for the seers, not deceivers or true believers, release my truth to the ethers connect wit the souls, reflecting back the truth you already know so I will meet you halfway, we’ll find that pathway, through the dark on the rise that Phoenix flies, it all started from that spark yeah death I been so close and that breath of the reaper’s cold but now that door is closed, and it’s life I chose I write these flows for thosestanding at that crossroads remember you never alone feelin the winds of change ahead of us blowin strong we gotta rise as one, and we know that enemies close temptations I been facin’ gotta leave it alone, stay in my zone remember to jus breathe slow, let that energy flow represent this journey, giving that remedy from my soul (Chorus) © Quincy Davis

Collaboration between Pacific-Northwest artists RXN, Mic Crenshaw and Quincy Davis shedding light on their personal struggles with addiction and temptation in various forms on their life-journey. This video speaks to the larger question of what is missing in a society that offers various forms of synthetic-light as a short-term “fix” to deeper symptoms causing mental and emotional anguish. This is a disconnection sickness that is not born of a pathogen like the disease and famine of the past. There is no pill or new technology that can fix this problem. Modern-society insures our bellies are full but our spirits are starving. Special thanks to Bridger Middle-School and Susan Bartley for the sponsorship and support in the production of this video.

We live in the right time and right place To meet the need of the evolution If we understand that, then we will be up to it and we will meet that need Because we cannot control what's going to happen in the future But how we use our individual and collective coherency Will influence the evolutionary outcome of what this reactionary, non-thinking, exploitive, manipulative beast has in mind We cannot out fight them There may be times to fight, but we cannot out fight them Because they invented that kind of death Through history, since they invented that kind of death Every provocation has been to get us, at some point, to try to out fight them And so to me, it's like no, in reality we've got to out think them We're surrounded in a reality where you have to have permission to think That's called chain of command They don't have permission to think Only a few get to think. See, this starts to equalize out the numbers So if you really, really think about it, the guerrilla warrior of the future...

After a year-long break he picked up the pen again and began writing.
