Lyrics

I'm walking with the ฤ€riki, I'm walking with the ฤ€riki And imma bring the gods with me Gotta aim for the stars, Whaikลrero on the pae at the pฤ Talking with the ฤ€riki, I'm walking with the ฤ€riki When I come imma bring the gods with me, ฤmene Yeah Im'a mฤori from the wops bay You try to tell me what to do man I say what bay? I must admit I had my days of Mr know it all Respect the past, make the future that's my protocol I go to war, let the world know who we really are Feel the spirit of my tupuna in the urupฤ My inspiration my whanau, hฤpu, tamฤriki Most of my life I kinda felt like something's kinda missing Then I learned about my whakapapa Ngฤti Kahungunu ko Tฤkitimu tลku waka do the haka with my brother, uncles and cuzzies Hundy it's kinda buzzy, knowing your part of something the mauri of this country And yeah, I started with nothing but, had plenty of spirit Lyrics is out of limits man I flow when I feel it from New Zealand Aotearoa represent Loud and proud and comfortable in my own skin, my own skin Gotta aim for the stars, Whaikลrero on the pae at the pฤ Talking with the ฤ€riki, I'm walking with the ฤ€riki When I come imma bring the gods with me, ฤmene So why you tryna be American There'll only ever be one Dr. Dre and Eminem Just look around at the country that you living in This is your whanau ain't no point tryna pretend to them You listening? That's a battle that you'll never win So think about what you're really showing your next of kin Like Richie Valens been international ever since La la bamba and he did it all in Mexican He kept it real coz he's proud of his cinnamon skin Setting the presidents driven by the vision where music is the medicine Someone's knocking at the door let em in Late night in the studio like letterman just tryna get it in And yeah I started with nothing but, had plenty of spirit Lyrics unexplicit outta respect for my parents From New Zealand Aotearoa represent Loud and proud and comfortable in my own skin, my own skin Gotta aim for the stars, Whaikลrero on the pae at the pฤ Talking with the ฤ€riki, I'm walking with the ฤ€riki When I come imma bring the gods with me, ฤmene
