Find My Way

I'm just caught up in a rat race, I'm just tryna find my way (find my way)
It's a race against time cause tomorrow could be my last day (my last day)
I'm just caught up in a rat race, I'm just tryna find my way (find my way)
It's a race against time cause tomorrow could be my last day (my last day)

I'm surrounded by trouble everywhere that I go
We were born into the struggle and that's all that we know

See I know you don't care about what I'm gonna say
But hey I've got something that I can't hide away

Rich in culture but we still live poverty
You see my people do the work but my people are never profiting

Yeah my aura kinda left you shook
I'm just another statistical number because of the way I look

I really hate it when you mispronounce a Maori name
Shit It hurts real deep man and that's a different pain

My nan went to school got whipped up with a cane
She was told to never ever speak that marry shit again

My people died fighting for our language man
While we were fixing what you stopped you went and took our land

And you make us out to be the biggest crook now I'm shook
Just look at all the land that you coloniser took

I'm just caught up in a rat race, I'm just tryna find my way (find my way)
It's a race against time cause tomorrow could be my last day (my last day)
I'm just caught up in a rat race, I'm just tryna find my way (find my way)
It's a race against time cause tomorrow could be my last day (my last day)

We know the system wasn't made for us
We're like clothes brands the way you people label us

You know me I never settle for nothing
Yo I'm sick of being used as a messed up puppet

The only thing to break silence is police sirens
You look at me and straight away think that I am violent

Its a fight among poor tryna get the crown
While the rich sit tall we bring each other down

People double lock the door when you leave the car
They hold tight to their purse when they walking past

Cause how I dress yo you called me a thug
Yeah you classed me as a drunk that was high on drugs

They look at me like a terrorist
I had no one to vent to, so my music was my therapist

Too be honest no one gives a shit
Even though I'm from here I get treated like a immigrant

I'm just caught up in a rat race, I'm just tryna find my way (find my way)
It's a race against time cause tomorrow could be my last day (my last day)
I'm just caught up in a rat race, I'm just tryna find my way (find my way)
It's a race against time cause tomorrow could be my last day (my last day)

Ohh lord i am innocent forget the system
You might as-well show me where the prison is

It's hard for us yo to be a happy citizen
A never ending race I don't know where the finish is

I was born into this mess I had no choice
You can take away all of my rights but not this damn voice

If only you would listen
Sorry I wasn't made for this white man system

But me I rebel set me free from the cell
They call it heaven on earth but to us it is hell

Living happy I guess its yet to come
The race is still on so I guess we better run

Or the cats gonna get us better hit the gap
I'm on my search for the cheese tryna miss the trap

I pray better nights and better days
Caught up in this race tryna find a way
I'm just caught up in a rat race, I'm just tryna find my way (find my way)
It's a race against time cause tomorrow could be my last day (my last day)
I'm just caught up in a rat race, I'm just tryna find my way (find my way)
It's a race against time cause tomorrow could be my last day (my last day)
