Look at what you've done to us
Look at what you're teaching the children
You steal our mauna
That's what you've instilled in our [?]
Your world, your rules
Native girls are just your tools
Talk straight, only write the stories you relate to
[?]
You said going to college was necessary
You laughed when I pointed out
My culture is not yours to own
I see all that I needed was right here after all
I know that I am whole, without your words
That made me feel small
