about

This song is about the Mi’kmaq Lobster Fishermen in Nova Scotia who are exercising their 1752 Treaty Right to fish. The commercial Lobster Fishermen from Digby, Nova Scotia attacked the Mi’kmaq Fisherman and burnt their boats, buildings and vehicles. While the Non-Indigenous fisherman were committing hate crimes against the Mi’kmaq People, the RCMP and the DFO sat idly and watched.

lyrics

All Eyes on Mi'kma'ki

Digby Nova Scotia the only thing they boasta
Racists motherfuckas ova on the East Coasta
About to roast the, RCMP
Helping out the trash from fucking Digby
The world is watching, can’t you see?
All motherfucking eyes on Mi’kma’ki
Mikmaki, yeah that’s our land
Can’t you fucking understand?
Keep your motherfucking hands off our boats
Or we’ll put our hands on your fucking throats
We’ll call you Gorgie and make you motherfucking float!
Make’em float

Set the traps, sink the lines in deep
My peeps, march in the streets
Set the traps, bring the whole damn fleet
All eyes on Mi’kmak’i

Set the traps, sink the lines in deep
My peeps, march in the streets
Set the traps, bring the whole damn fleet
All eyes on Mi’kmak’i

So we head to the streets, numbers multiply
Fight against the government genocide
Shoot at us but we’ll never die
You’ll never take away our indigenous pride
Never by your laws will we abide
And don’t deny,
That your racism is so systemic
More dangerous than the current pandemic
Truth & Reconciliation, pathetic
Treaty fucking 1752
We’ll Fish whenever the fuck that we want to
We’re not given a fuck about the DFO crew

Set the traps, sink the lines in deep
My peeps, march in the streets
Set the traps, bring the whole damn fleet
All eyes on Mi’kmak’i

Set the traps, sink the lines in deep
My peeps, march in the streets
Set the traps, bring the whole damn fleet
All eyes on Mi’kmak’i

So set the traps, bring the whole damn fleet
Mi’kma’ki up on they feet
No better place for our peeps meet in the streets, you can’t compete
You can meet us there with your racist team
Be a Facebook meme Raven Augustine!
You don’t wanna to meet my cousin Toby
If you think that I’m playing then you really don’t know me
Piss us off and have a bad outcome
When I’m rolling up with Mista Malcom
How come, you gotta be so damn greedy?
We’re protected by the motherfucking treaties!

Set the traps, sink the lines in deep
My peeps, march in the streets
Set the traps, bring the whole damn fleet
All eyes on Mi’kmak’i

Set the traps, sink the lines in deep
My peeps, march in the streets
Set the traps, bring the whole damn fleet
All eyes on Mi’kmak’i
All eyes on Mi’kmak’i
All eyes on Mi’kmak’i

Row row your boat gently down the stream
Fishing Nova Scotia ain’t no dream
And it seems that they gotta team
Racist fucking cops and their laser beams
All eyes on Mi’kma’ki
All eyes on Mi’kma’ki
