lyrics

“New numbers from stats Canada show Manitoba once again leading the nation, and its not for something we can be proud of. We have the highest homicide rate of any province in the country. And as (Indiscernible) reports the numbers show a stark & troubling contrast between Aboriginal Manitobans and the rest of the population”


In the city of the frozen
Gotta keep up your composure
Seen the bottom seen the lowest
But still my eyes out here are open
In the city of the frozen

In the city of the frozen
Gotta keep up your composure
Seen the bottom seen the lowest
But still my eyes out here are open
In the city of the frozen

Gotta stay in control of your conscious
Following your dream gets cold better watch where you go
Yah it’s hard to get a hold of the concept
Sometimes we feel lost with no target
Told my fam that I’m an artist
When I first saw that the wave was starting
Peel back my heart for my father
Swear to god that imma change up the order

On all these finer things
I don’t deserve it
Yet know that I’m working
And I will not hide away
Put my feet in the dirt and I stand for a purpose
Gotta stay focused the time is near
Don’t pretend I’m not wide aware
Go and tell me this fight is fair
We been down for 500 years
Still surrounded by unaware

See the passion is a green light
Put aside the problems of the fake one
You living for a real life
Gotten used to these chains but they still tight
Does it feel right how the story goes
Or is it stuck in head
Can’t believe we ain’t plunging yet
That’s the truth
Hard to swallow when all of your choices in life turn around and come after you

So we on the move
Tell me young king what you gonna do
When they want one thing demons hunting you
All the love they take it ain’t nothing new
And if you want some change gotta suffer through
When the drums gets played that’s the thunder boom
When you love this weight what you gonna choose
Thanks for reminding me bury this pain this pain I got nothing to lose

In the city of the frozen
Gotta keep up your composure
Seen the bottom seen the lowest
Still my eyes out here are open

In the city of the frozen
Gotta keep up your composure
Seen the bottom seen the lowest
Still my eyes out here are open
In the city of the frozen

“There still has to be a Social Intervention. There has to be.”
“Winnipeg has now matched its worst ever year for murders. Two people were killed over the past weekend bringing to Thirty Four, the total of people killed in cases that are considered homicides”

Locked from the bottom
yeah you gone but not forgotten
I remember days we had empty pockets
Hold it high stay standing strong if we fallen
The truth will rise and we gone ride till the morning
All These finer things
I got no regrets
Our focus is so direct
We ain’t folding yet
got a bone to pick
No way I’ll be alone again
Stand tall and I won’t pretend
Hope you don’t either
Run like the game like you don’t need her
Life a bitch but you gone feed her

What’s the final vow
Got to here from a problem child
Ain’t no life you can ride around
Got the fuel In the right amount
Rising up just to settle down
All my stress I’m gone let it out
Had to it take different route

How we living ain’t with it
The sharks in the water ain’t vicious
Unless you been talking bout business
people improperly fishing
I can’t sit around and just watch as we kill it
You gotta reach down get inside of your feelings
You take all the plains for the buildings
But you can’t erase what we building
It’s all in good faith for the children

In the city of the frozen
Gotta keep up your composure
Seen the bottom seen the lowest
Still my eyes out here are open

In the city of the frozen
Gotta keep up your composure
Seen the bottom seen the lowest
Still my eyes out here are open
In the city of the frozen
