UNORTHODOX.
[Tongan students' association President
Head Boy of Scots College
And is also of Tongan & Kiribati Descent
Can you tell us a little bit about yourself]
Only sibling born in this land of milk and honey
Dreams of education, to be making better money
Rents back in the kingdom
So my fahu raised me, never phased me
That I'm always gon' have this pressure on me
And i grew up in a place
Where its rare to see a brown face
Was working twice as hard just to reach the ground base
Maybe my struggle different
Yeah i get it
Maybe i should stick to the books and the academics
But if i did
Then I'd be ending like everybody else
Not living up to potential
Slowly losing myself
No generational wealth
No stories for them to tell
I'm tryna put shoes on the shelf
Not just food on my shelves
Ono fitu ono
686
19, with bright dreams
Forever making hits
104 day ones, we ain't never gon' miss
Even w no seatbelt
I'm staying locked with the clique
I'm the last to get picked for the team
Cause I swear they always underestimating me
Head down, always working
While they all sleep
Young toko bringing a sound that's unique
Cause I'm
Breaking the mould
Taking them all
I ain't never gon' fold
Never settle for the minimal
Unorthodox but I'm still a young dox
On a mission to remain an individual
I give all the props to the man above
For the many gifts and talents he done placed upon
Know my family never understood at all
I love my poly's but I swear they always fiening for the drama
Judging from afar but never tryna help each other
They blaming others for their problems
Never Tryna solve 'em
Should be navigating stars
Not just tryna sink the vaka
Stay in your damn lane
Don't wanna see a young polynesian make change
Let em talk cause they stay, doing the same thang
If you can't handle the sideline, you can't handle the game
Im that, skinny toko but my name holds weight
I pray the Lord forgive me for my mistakes
They love to hate and underestimate
Kai ke fiu, they could never come and take my plate
I'm the last to get picked for the team
Cause I swear they always underestimating me
Head down, always working
While they all sleep
Young toko bringing a sound that's unique
Cause I'm
Breaking the mould
Taking them all
I ain't never gon' fold
Never settle for the minimal
Unorthodox but I'm still a young dox
On a mission to remain an individual
I'm the last to get picked for the team
Cause I swear they always underestimating me
Head down, always working
While they all sleep
Young toko bringing a sound that's unique
Cause I'm
Breaking the mould
Taking them all
I ain't never gon' fold
Never settle for the minimal
Unorthodox but I'm still a young dox
On a mission to remain an individual
Tapu tukulolo in my tapestry
I know these people stay mad at me
But I've doing been it for the family
So, so, so
Don't hate me cause I'm different
Set apart and gifted
Straight out the box
You know a toko ain't thrifted
Ain't nobody levelling the way that I be writing my writtens
Let the fakes walk, good riddance
