WHAKAKOTAHI

Ko wai nga Tangata Whenua i enei motu, whakarongo ki nga karanga o nga iwi Maori, he aha te mahi o te kawanatanga, I tahae koe ki nga taonga Maori, I mauria mai koe ki nga mate nga piro, Mai rano tae noa mai ki tenei ra, he aha te mea nui o te Ao Maku e ki atu, he Tangata, he Tangata, he Tangata

*1(... Planet earth 196.940,00 square miles, all over the planet earth and where ever they go they conquer the people, murder the people, take their land and then set up their own Government there after invading the peopleÕs land and then name it what they wanna name it ...)

Fuck New Zealand ya call me a kiwi / Aotearoa the name of the country / Maori are we Tangata Whenua / People of the land / Keepers of the fire Te Ahi Kaa / Indigenous people we are as you can see lets control our destiny / Shake a break the chains of fear and despair free / Realise it's we who live and breathe do you see / Rooted on earth like the mighty kauri tree / Etched in existence I am continually / Whakawhita te ora life shines the cause to be / Brother sister people rejoice thats you and me - Whakakotahi

Kua ngaro nga tamariki o Tane Mahuta, I whakaparu te moana o Tangaroa, I takahia koutou i runga i te mana o Papatuanuku, Kati to mahi, kati

*2(... To ask black people to forgive you for killing them wholesale in Africa, in the isles of the Pacific)

Nga Tangata Whenua whakarongo mai / Kia kaha kia mau ki to whenua / Kia toa kia mau ki to wairua /Mana motuhake time inaianei / So wake up / In the system man we have fe mash it up / Hell no I won't stop or even chill out / With the vision I'll go bug out / The imperialist colonialist all the unwelcome guests / Who lack respect we come fe make it correct / Put it in spec in view what we got ta do / Free our mind cleanse our bodies from their ways / You been told I've been told a long time ago / By the whiteman his ways are the ways to go / But I know his ways I'll neva follow / Righteous he is not thats what we got we got ta know - Whakakotahi

Nga Tangata Whenua o te Ao, whakarongo, Kia tu ki te whawhai nga mea kino o tenei Ao, Kia kaha, Kia mau ki nga taonga o koutou tipuna, Kia toa te ihi te wehi, Ka whawhai tonu matou ake, ake, ake, tonu e, Whakakotahi

So it's come to pass and we've seen evidently / Similar things in many continent and country / North to the south the east to the west / It's a plague fuck their conquest / Niggers junglebunnies coons they call us backward / Forward we vision truth come in this lesson / Them give us a white god through a white Jesus Christ / The bible and its virtue but look at what they do / They a raped our mother and continue to kill / But my spirit is strong we gwan do what we will / Life is to be lived for for truth to show improve / So do away with the mischief in this release we'll move / Forward neva backward

*3(...Greed arrogance, cause you to pollute the earth, pollute the air, pollute the water... )

Whakakotahi Pakeha - Waiho te Whenua, waiho te Moana, waiho Nga Tangata Whenua o te Ao Haere atu, Haere atu ki Engarani, kia tere, waiho te Atea, waiho Nga tamariki TIHEI MAURIORA!
