The lyrics to Vini Vici's "Great Spirit" contain a series of spoken lines, most of which are in Lakota, an indigenous language of the Sioux people. The chorus is primarily made up of the phrase "Wakan Tanka," which means "great spirit" in Lakota. The lyrics reflect elements of Native American spirituality, mentioning "tunkasila" (grandfather spirit) and "hanhepi-wi" (moon lodged in the throat). The song expresses a sense of reverence for the natural world and the forces that govern it. The repetition of the phrase "oyate" (meaning "people" or "tribe") emphasizes a sense of tribal unity.
