Lyrics

(TAUPARAPARA)
Tangi hotuhotu ana te whatumanawa mo taku Turanga makaurau e haehae nei te pakihau o te ika tapu a Maui Tikitiki a Taranga

(SAM VERSE )
Tangi hotuhotu ana te
whatumanawa mō taku makaurau
E haehae nei te
pakihau o te ika Māui (2X)

(PRE-CHORUS)
Ko Tūranga Tāne, ko Te-Wai-Ruapani-i-te-Ora.
Ko Tūranga Wahine, ko Papawharanui Puhi Ariki.

(CHORUS)
Haramai ki ahau ki Rongowhakaata, he iwi ruku i te pō, i te ao,
te kaitieki tangongitanga. (2X)

(KEIDIS VERSE )
I'm feeling good, I'm feeling great.
But I got a lot of things up on my plate.
Oo I wanna run away, I wanna see that place.
Oo I wanna run away, not gonna leave no trace.

(KEIDIS RAP)
I’m flippin the script, I’m turning back time with this. (time with this)
I’m licking my lips while I’m writing these rhymes and shit. (You buying this?) If there was anywhere I could be I would be kicking it back with my brother, my mama and my sisters, my uncle t. They all got me. I feel like I’m feeling my family.

(KEIDIS VERSE 2)
If there was a anywhere that I could.
I would be kickin it with uncle t.
My mama and my sisters yea they all got me.
And my brother he be feeling the beat.
I wanna go home To the place i belong I wanna go home
Where my heart is longing for
(CHORUS/LAST CHORUS.)

(Tauparapara Na Loise Moeau)
Tangi hotuhotu ana te whatumanawa mo taku Turanga makaurau e haehae nei te pakihau o te ika tapu a Maui Tikitiki a Taranga

“My heart sobs for the many important things that scar the chest of Maui's sacred fish.” For me this tauparapara is expressing a deep emotional connection to important things, places, and the people.
