Some of these songs deal directly with Native America or First Peoples, while the rest are only peripherally related or relate through connotation, but it's all about uplifting everybody everywhere as far as I'm concerned. One Love, y'all.
Lowkey Feat. Mai Khalil - Million Man March [Official Music Video] (Prod. by Big G).
I was worried when Lowkey used the "Gideon's spies" line that he was talking about a stereotypically Arabic view of the Zionist conspiracy and he does condemn Israel, but I found this book (click here) about Mossad, which I personally wouldn't put anything past, so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.
