Indigenous Life - Fiji

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
