Wairua Lyrics by Tipene

Heritage Trail

2021

I wanna be somebody don't wanna be nobody
All my boys acting crazy making babies at the parties
I'm focused on my dreams gotta get out this scene
Coz a man without a dream can't relate to what I mean
But I know I'm not alone, right now I'm not alone
Mind is my weapon in my hand's a microphone
Yeah I know I'm not alone, right now I'm not alone
Mind is my weapon in my hand's a microphone
Wairua wairua wairua
Aye I make em feel the Wairua
Wairua wairua wairua
Aye I make em feel the Wairua
For the life of me I gotta do what's right for me
It's hard to tell who really wants to help
Wanna tautoko or they just in it for themselves
Walking around running their mouths
And now that I cracked it Baye what you wanna say now
I came from that place where the system fails
And we ain't supposed to make it
I was supposed to be chained to the day-shift
Working for my payslip
Man just to provide the basics
Midnight I put pen to pages
I grab my dream by the scruff of the neck and take it
I wanna be somebody don't wanna be nobody
All my boys acting crazy making babies at the parties
I'm focused on my dreams gotta get out this scene
Coz a man without a dream can't relate to what I mean
But I know I'm not alone, right now I'm not alone
Mind is my weapon in my hand's a microphone
Yeah I know I'm not alone, right now I'm not alone
Mind is my weapon in my hand's a microphone
Wairua wairua wairua
Aye I make em feel the Wairua
Wairua wairua
Aye I make em feel the Wairua
Walking with my tupuna they legendary
I feel like a part of me and they never scare me
Your wisdom of the universe became hereditary
You listen to me when I thought
No one would ever hear me
Karakia on a daily give thanks and amine
With nan's ahua that wisdom to calm many
I heard it in whaikorero they used to talk you up
I learned about the mohio gift from a tohunga
All I knew was versions form the peeps that brought me up
The mauri of Hawaiki nui our euphoria
I'm a descendant yes and I feel the presence of the ariki
Encouraging me to rise when I find it hard to see
I wanna be somebody don't wanna be nobody
All my boys acting crazy making babies at the parties
I'm focused on my dreams gotta get out this scene
Coz a man without a dream can't relate to what I mean
But I know I'm not alone, right now I'm not alone
Mind is my weapon in my hand's a microphone
Yeah I know I'm not alone, right now I'm not alone
Mind is my weapon in my hand's a microphone
Wairua wairua
Aye I make em feel the Wairua
Wairua wairua wairua
Aye I make em feel the Wairua
Take a look around tell me what did I see
All my tupuna walking right beside me
Take a look around tell me what did I see
All my tupuna walking right behind me
Wairua wairua
Aye I make em feel the Wairua
Wairua wairua wairua
Aye I make em feel the Wairua
