Nahko and Medicine for the People - Tus Pies (Your Feet)

We humbly dedicate this song to those strong allies in our lives that have been anchors, beacons, and pillars through the ups and downs of life. To all our relations that have lost custody of keiki, to those who have grown up without real family, to those that have suffered and discovered a different kind of family, to those who come from those places and yet still live strong and walk in gratitude to reverse the negativity of that way, and for those that show up for us in our times of need and in our times of joy...we offer this portrait to you. It is no small thing to love and be loved in return.
To Pablo Neruda: I extend my eternal thanks. Without your poetry, Tus Pies would not have lived. Without your beacon, I would not have found my way or been able to show up for my loved ones.
And to the muse and dear ally who inspired my pen to paper and words to action, may you live strong and continue to hear your hearts prayer. With these tools on our side, we are awakening the true power within us as we cross mountains and valleys to reach our soul's resting place. EO.

If you are seeing this, YOU ARE A LEADER. You are the lighthouse. You are the compass. We have the responsibility to take care of our SELF 1st...then we can take care of others. Leaders eat last but leaders also can't lead if they are broken. Please shine bright. So many need us. Lets work!

This man has had to endure other peoples lies and hate, all undeserved. But in the true nature of a warrior, he fought through, found truth, fought for justice, alchemised that shit and turned it into the type of healing words this world needs. I feel you brother, I hear you bear. Thank you, not all medicine is sweet, some is tough. That tough love that comes out, is the most healing kind that I know. You wake people up. That scares them. They tried to quiet your voice! Big mistake, now we hear you louder than ever 💙🦋💙

I love you my dearest Michael James and God only knows i wouldnt be here today without His blessing me with you as my very own anchor in these raging seas that we call life. May Creator bestow us with many nations under His glory

[@itsokyoucanbreathe2008]

Thank you Nahko for such another amazing song. This one truly touched my heart, since I am also a father to a sweet daughter and you truly brought yourself here, I truly felt you. It was because of you I had a much easier landing back in Israel (10 years ago almost), and when I heard you on stage, I knew I am meeting a wonder. I had been following your work since, and am truly happy knowing we have such an amazing being with us, doing love's work. All the best, Uriel

Came to the comments to remind myself, it's not Travis against the world, it's Travis with the world. My dreams in life are to help others by illuminating my struggles and lessons learned into digestible segments. People are seasons, but the lesson there is there are opportunities to be the difference, spread the joy and happiness of overcoming whatever you're going through, and being comfortable that that is our purpose. You are not alone. Not at all. Yall are my people, a compass if you know what I mean.

[@houseofbase9491]

To all selfish mothers who believe they magically gave birth, they're alot of good fathers who are kept away from their children and who are also manipulated by the mother of their children. keep faith because the good will always surface, eventually. I myself have tried so hard to be there for my son in his early years and his mother just pushed me away, she didn't want me around.. this caused a kind of pain I just can't explain. Now people just see that im a dead beat dad because of it. The kind of tears this brings to my eyes are the ones that don't stop coming down when I think about it, but I believe in the good things coming. God bless you all..

[@Ladybugsong101]

Lǚ sòng probably everyone's situation is different..but it is tough times to be put in a position of having to be the breadwinner and the housekeeper..the doctor and the nurse and then have dad show up "chillin like a villian"..with only forever ending excuses..but he's got that distant love for sure..peoples priorities.. so many things on the back burner still trying to get famous..but I like nahko he can create what he feels

[@abernathyrah3513]

Did you watch the video? The story the video tells is the same as Lu shared, it isnt a video about a single mom being superman, its about a womens vindictive actions that destroyed his chance to be a part of his childs life.

[@Ladybugsong101]

Abernathy Rah I absolutely watched the video..and thought it was just about difficult dynamics between parents..reading this comment though and the phrase "dead beat dad". Someone's dropped the ball somewhere and there is this obliviousness that seems to occur. I care a lot about kids..support them...make sure they have food, clothes, shelter..if you want to be a part of their life file for visitation..very simple they come first.

[@houseofbase9491]

Ladybugsong101 filing for visitation isn't the same as raising your god given child in your own house hold. I spoke of the emotional aspect nothing more.

[@houseofbase9491]

Ladybugsong101 And I stated "dead beat" in a sense of "no good" because your place in your child's life should not go according to your emotional stand point in regards to his mother? so as soon as mommy wants another man you are no longer a full time father? again, I speak on an emotional level.
