(Hook)
Yeah, I’m Zuni Pueblo livin’, that’s the vibe I’m on,
Halona chicken plate, chili cheese fries gone,
Payday weekend, they headin’ to the Burque zone,
But I’m chillin’ on a mini vacay, peace of my own.
They talk about you whether sad or smilin’,
But I stay rooted where the sun stay shinin’,
Home for Shah-laa-ko, that’s where my heart stay,
Respect and love Zuni, every single day.
(Verse 1)
On the rez where the mountains kiss the sky,
Tradition in my soul, you can see it in my eyes,
Walkin’ through the village, smell that frybread fry,
Elders speak the language, and the young still try.
Yeah, gossip’s cheap, they talkin’ every season,
Happy or not, they gon’ find a reason,
But I move with love, I ain’t feedin’ that flame,
Culture first, that’s the rule of the game.
(Hook)
Yeah, I’m Zuni Pueblo livin’, that’s the vibe I’m on,
Halona chicken plate, chili cheese fries gone,
Payday weekend, they headin’ to the Burque zone,
But I’m chillin’ on a mini vacay, peace of my own.
They talk about you whether sad or smilin’,
But I stay rooted where the sun stay shinin’,
Home for Shaa-la-ko, that’s where my heart stay,
Respect and love Zuni, every single day.
(Verse 2)
When November hits, that Shalako flow,
Sacred songs rise where the prayers still grow,
Generations deep, that’s how we roll,
Zuni strong heart, can’t sell that soul.
From holiday lights to them summer nights,
We keep it real, keepin’ culture in sight,
So let ‘em talk, I’ll still do me,
Speak Zuni proud, that’s legacy.
(Outro)
From the mesa tops to the village streets,
Where the drums still echo and the people meet,
We carry that fire, never let it fade,
Zuni Pueblo pride — that’s how we’re made.
