Indigenous Life
I come from a part of the world
Where the royal lineage's are considered a dying breed
Where missionarie's flood them with gho-spel mislead the people
And take all their land with greed
Sell them to a different kinda god
Where their souls can be bought and forget about their history
I man from a warrior line yes
A Tongan Fijian Ulukalala and Korana and Bati
Recognized the raising of my consciousness
When I migrated to the kingdom of Hawaii
Opened up my mind to the idea of strength and the unity
From my Samoan family
Imagine if we ever come together and we trace our roots
All the way back to the Maori's
Down to the Tokelau Island's the Marqueses and even down to Tahiti
I'm living the indigenous life
That's the life I live
I'm living the indigenous life
That's the life I spit
I'm living the indigenous life
That's the life I live
I'm living the indigenous life
That's the life I spit
What in the hell I'm trying to cover my shine it's getting 'arder
Got to roll with the punches and always keepin my guard up
Becau' them (moving)
Ready to steal (what you made)
You know what word I'm talking about
Grab a gun and den overcome the proof
And now recognize the name
Them not accept the truth
The pain behind the fame
Just stay between the lanes
Play beyond the game
You know what word I'm talking about, yo
This is not your o-ordinary
Seperate from the scary
The street's is my education
No say that ya must have degree
Or you even decree
We're not influenced by mission
I'ma get all youth born and raised
Give all day ah to our island praise
All o' dem who don't see my vision
This is not some boyhood phase
And I don't even blaze
Representing our Pacifican's
I'm living the indigenous life
That's the life I live
I'm living the indigenous life
That's the life I spit
I'm living the indigenous life
That's the life I live
I'm living the indigenous life
That's the life I spit
Indigenous a progeny
It's in Papua New Guinea
New Caledonia to the Kanaki
My Hawaiian Kanaka Maoli
Tangata Maohi, yeah
My native land of Fiji
Samoa muamua le atua
The kings and queens of Aotearoa
To Ha'apai to my Tu'i Tonga
Where the royal lineage's are considered a dying breed
Where missionarie's flood them with gho-spel mislead the people
And take all their land with greed
Sell them to a different kinda god
Where their souls can be bought and forget about their history
I man from a warrior line yes

That's the life I live
I'm living the indigenous life
That's the life I spit
I'm living the indigenous life
That's the life I live
I'm living the indigenous life
That's the life I spit
