lirik lagu tipene – āriki
intro
i’m walking with the āriki(the māori gods) x2
and imma bring the gods with me (10a producer sound bite)
chorus:
yeah, gotta aim for the stars, whaikōrero on the pae at the pā
talking with the āriki, i’m walking with the āriki
when i come imma bring the gods with me, āmene x2
verse 1:
yeah im’a māori 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(ancestors) in the urupā(cemetery)
my inspiration my whanau(family), hāpu(sub~tribe), tamāriki(children)
most of my life i kinda felt like something’s kinda missing
(echo: somethings really missing)
then i learned about my whakapapa(genealogy)
ngāti kahungunu(my tribe) ko tākitimu tōku waka(my canoe)
do the haka(war dance) with my brother, uncles and cuzzies
hundy it’s kinda buzzy, knowing your part of something the mauri(life force) 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
chorus
gotta aim for the stars, whaikōrero on the pae at the pā
talking with the āriki, i’m walking with the āriki
when i come imma bring the gods with me, āmene x2
verse 2:
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 your 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
chorus
gotta aim for the stars, whaikōrero on the pae at the pā
talking with the āriki, i’m walking with the āriki
when i come imma bring the gods with me, āmene x2
outro
gotta aim for the stars, whaikōrero on the pae at the pā
talking with the āriki, i’m walking with the āriki
when i come imma bring the gods with me, āmene x2
