It Is Written Songtext
von Nahko & Medicine for the People

It is written
It is written
It is written
Gathering the nations
Prepare my relations
For spiritual battle, battle
I have my doubts
But there′s no time for that now
Gotta recharge my channel
For to medicate, resist, meditate

Keep righteous walking
Steady load and locking
There ain't no stoppin′
This bullet, load it, pull it
Bullet, load it, pull it
Fully-loaded poet


It was changing so fast
I barely kept up with it
Calling on my spirit guides
I was up in Sitka
South-east Alaska
Forgot to ask her
If I'd survive the next chapter

Born in the 'Frisco, city of angels
Above the prophecies, up upon the table
Tangled in my spirit teacher′s angles
Middle finger to the Star-Spangled
And I know I′m ready
Big message, heavy
Gotta learn to carry
What comes to me directly, said

It is written
It is written
It is written
Gathering the nations
Prepare my relations
For spiritual battle, battle
I have my doubts
But there's no time for that now
Gotta recharge my channel
For to medicate, resist, meditate


Keep righteous walking
Steady load and locking
There ain′t no stoppin'
This bullet, load it, pull it
Bullet, load it, pull it
Fully-loaded poet

So I went to see my sister
Past, present, future
Help me remember
How to surrender
Oh, Yellowstone
Great mystery unknown
And if you blow
Poca River still flows

Puerto Rico
Part of my ancestry
Some day I′ll go
Part of my destiny
Minneapolis, 'cause it romances
Anishinaabe, sharing me the wisdom
I know we′re ready
Big message, heavy
Gotta learn to carry
What comes to us directly, said

It is written
It is written
It is written
Gathering the nations
Prepare my relations
For spiritual battle, battle
I have my doubts
But there's no time for that now
Gotta recharge my channel
For to medicate, resist, meditate

Keep righteous walking
Steady load and locking
There ain't no stoppin′
This bullet, load it, pull it
Bullet, load it, pull it
Fully-loaded poet

Take your time with every little thing
Every little thing, take time
Take your time with every little thing
Every little thing, take time
Take your time!
Take your time!
With every little thing, take your time
Yeah, with every little thing, take your time, yeah

It is written
It is written
It is written
It is written
Yeah, it is written
Yeah, yeah, it is written
Oh, oh, it is written
Oh, oh, it is written

It is written
Oh, oh, it is written
