WAKANYEJA - Our Future
Every word, written by AI.
Intro - Kids Chant & Hand Drum
Wakanyeja! (We are here!)
Tokeyahci! (The first!)
Wounspe Tipi! (Where we learn!)
Sicangu! Let's go!
Verse 1 - Kid Anthem, singable
Good morning, relatives, we walk through the door,
Shoes off, hearts open, ready to learn more,
Unci Maka makes our lunch, fresh from the land,
We wash our hands, we say wopila, we understand.
We don't just read it, we speak it true,
Lakota words, old and new,
A, B, Č, E, G, H, I — we sing it strong,
This is where we belong.
Chorus - All Kids, big and simple
We are Wakanyeja, sacred little ones,
We are the sunrise, we are the suns!
We speak Lakota, hear our voice!
Sicangu Oyate, we are your choice!
Wakanyeja, we will rise!
With our language, we will fly!
[Verse 2 - Rez Rap Flow 1 - for the older kids / youth]
Yeah, uh,
2020 they opened doors in Mission town,
Rosebud reservation, we don't mess around,
Four pillars hold the house up, listen how it sound,
Language fluency, identity, wellness, academics — we profound!
Critically endangered? Nah, we bringing it back,
Sage and the teachers put the language on track,
First fluent generation in a long time,
Every word we speak is a climb,
From the buffalo range to the classroom map,
Wolakota buffalo, we connected like that,
Holistic health, mind, body, spirit in sync,
Wicozani — we healthy, what you think?
[Pre-Chorus - Call & Response for classroom]
Teacher says: Lakhol'iyapi? (Do you speak Lakota?)
Kids shout: Han! We speak it!
Teacher: Tiospaye? (Family?)
Kids: Strong! We keep it!
Teacher: Oyate? (People?)
Kids: We are! We live it!
Chorus - All Kids
We are Wakanyeja, sacred little ones,
We are the sunrise, we are the suns!
We speak Lakota, hear our voice!
Sicangu Oyate, we are your choice!
Wakanyeja, we will rise!
With our language, we will fly!
[Verse 3 - Lakota Language Heart - slower, proud]
Tȟuŋkášila oh hear our prayer,
Unči Maka oh feel us there,
Inipi, sweat, we clean and grow,
Wotakuye, relatives, all we know.
Wacantognaka — generosity,
Waoahola — respect, you see,
Wowahum — humility, we stay small,
Woksape — wisdom, hear it call.
We learn to bead, we learn to drum,
We learn where we came from,
Oceti Sakowin, seven fires bright,
Sicangu Rosebud, our guiding light.
Bridge - Whisper to Shout Build
(whisper) We were quiet... they said we'd fade...
(louder) But we listened... to what our grandmas prayed...
(shout) NOW WE SPEAK! NOW WE SING! NOW WE LEAD!
[Verse 4 - Rez Rap Flow 2 - Fast, empowerment]
Yeah,
Put some moccasins on the future, watch us run it,
Lakota immersion, yeah, we never done with it,
Pre-K to 2nd grade, but we thinking 12th grade,
Thinking college, thinking leaders that we already made,
Language Bowl champs, top five, four spots, we took it,
Rapid City heard us, whole Nation looked — we shook it,
This ain't just a school, this a movement in a Tipi,
Children first — Wakanyeja Tokeyahci!
You wanna help? Come support, understand,
Three times the cost cause we feed from the land,
Locally sourced, tribally grown, that's real,
Every dollar helps a sacred seed to heal.
Final Chorus - Double, with Drum Break
We are Wakanyeja, sacred little ones, (WAKANYEJA!)
We are the sunrise, we are the suns! (TOKEYAHCI!)
We speak Lakota, hear our voice! (WOUNSPE TIPI!)
Sicangu Oyate, we are your choice!
Wakanyeja, we will rise!
With our language, we will fly!
(One more time — louder!)
We are Wakanyeja, sacred little ones,
We are the sunrise, we are the suns!
Outro - Kids Chant Circle
Wakanyeja ki Tokeyahci... wounspe...
Wakanyeja ki Tokeyahci... wounspe...
Mitakuye Oyasin — we are all related.
We are here. We are Lakota.
How this trap song was made.
“WAKANYEJA - Our Future” is an AI-generated Trap song with vocals, 4:16 long. It was created in Octa from one short text description: the lyrics, melody, vocal performance, arrangement and mix were all generated from that idea, then published by @Tig to the Octa community in October 2026.
Listen for the 808 sliding between notes under the kick and the hi-hats rolling in triplets; the melody stays sparse so the low end can carry the song. The lyrics on this page are the exact words the AI wrote and sang for this track.
The prompt behind it
“Indigenous trap, powwow step, Native American flute hip hop, Lakota Immersion School anthem blending traditional powwow drumming, cedar flute, and 808 trap percussion, featuring children's voices with a young girl singing and rapping”
