Lyrics

Chorus

Toitū Te Tiriti - The treaty endures
Toitū te manawa - The heart endures
Toitū ēnei iwi - These tribes endure
Toitū te whenua - This land endures
Toitū Te Tiriti - The treaty endures
Toitū te manawa - The heart endures
Toitū ēnei iwi - These tribes endure
Kia ū ki te kaupapa - fixed on our purpose
(x2)

Verse 1
My money young but I’m sippin’ old fashioned
Think they in front but I already lapped ‘em
They wanna know how I cashed in
‘Cause I mahi hard and I got that passion
Parties I’m crashin’ old politics still Māori bashin’
Still girl wanna give me that gash’n
‘cause I’m the Don like Don McGlashan
Come anchor me
Think we sold the land for some blankets? please
Land back ‘till the land is free
You can’t ever take away my language g
Whakangaro i tō mōrikarika - Get outta here with your wickedness
Whakangaro i tō kino e hika! - Get outta here with your negativity
(ō) kupu whakaiti nā e kī rā - Your belittling words don't mean sh*t to me


Pre Chorus
Don’t come for me and my ancestors please
Find out and see how my ancestors be


Chorus

Toitū Te Tiriti - The treaty endures
Toitū te manawa - The heart endures
Toitū ēnei iwi - These tribes endure
Toitū te whenua - This land endures
Toitū Te Tiriti - The treaty endures
Toitū te manawa - The heart endures
Toitū ēnei iwi - These tribes endure
Kia ū ki te kaupapa - fixed on our purpose


Verse 2

I been having mood swings mood swings
Might go cop me some new things
Share it with the whānau youthlings
That’s just how we do things
mood swings mood swings
Might go cop me some new things
Share it with the whānau
(You know the kaupapa)
Swear I was born impatient
Swear I was born to say shit
I hear they try call just hatin’
Tell ‘em I’m on vacation
Bro I’m in Cali I’m fornicating
She want me to shoot on location
On my waka I’m navigating
I already know I’m a chief
I don’t need your validation
And we done with waiting
Like how you turn my people to cons
We need to have a conversation
First you come for the patch of land
Then you come for the patches man
Pack ‘em up in the back of vans
Make another broken family damn

Pre Chorus

Don’t come for me and my ancestors please
Find out and see how my ancestors be
