Testo Don't Run

They don’t wanna see us make it
Say we’re all dumb
Put us in the same category as a bum
You ain’t need to trip on it though your the 1
Whenever you see em coming stand up don’t run
They don’t wanna see us make it
Say we’re all dumb
Put us in the same category as a bum You ain’t need to trip on it though your the 1
Whenever you see em coming stand up don’t run

Stand tall
Don't back up go forth make sure
If its war take charge no remorse get results
Be smart the world is yours
King, queen, that’s what you are
Media outlet spread manure
Assigned to confuse us
And keep us in the sewers
But we’re the real guardians of the whenua
Pay attention to the history of the government
How can a European discover this
Place when we were all ready here a dozen hundred years first Why in schools they try drum this is
I know right they left us with no rights
As soon as we smarten up they switch up their tones like
Why can't we move on, get along
If you really want change give us all that we want
They don’t wanna see us make it
Say we’re all dumb
Put us in the same category as a bum
You ain’t need to trip on it though your the 1
Whenever you see em coming stand up don’t run

Waiho rā Kia tū takitahi ana ngā whetū o Te Rangi

Be the leader, cause we need you
Keep your mind solid
Strengthen your mind with knowledge
Defy what ever the odds is
Show ‘em a god/goddess
The power of our culture is too hard to withstand
For them they can't hold us
So be a Dame Whena Kupa or a Rawiri Waititi
March for what is yours fight for our peace if you can
Cause ultimately they want us hung like a satchel
But we can't stand there and do nothing like a statue
Ta moko or moko kauai tattoo
Ain’t WINZ barcodes whoever said that make sure I don’t catch you
Matter fact the success of my people perhaps will
Do the damage without having to make contact
Cause being smart and brown the media don't wont that
To them we all crims they don't want to see us win
Only praise the really give is when we play in the all blacks
Notice how the tone change when you talk about a movement
The comment section suggests that we are all stupid
Predisposed and made for a cell unit
My kings queens just remember your the future
Of Aotearoa remain proud show em your crown
Never let it down
Whenever they throw stones top floor of the glass house
With your mind shatter it and bring the frame down

They don’t wanna see us make it
Say we’re all dumb
Put us in the same category as a bum
You ain’t need to trip on it though your the 1
Whenever you see em coming stand up don’t run

They don’t wanna see us make it
Say we’re all dumb
Put us in the same category as a bum
You ain’t need to trip on it though your the 1
Whenever you see em coming stand up don’t run
