Four Seasons 03:36
Rei - Four Seasons Intro He mahi rangatira, te whakakitenga, kia ora ai te iwi. Nō reira, ko wai te rangatira kei te tū mai nei? Arā, ko Rei, takitū ki te kōrero! Karawhiua! Verse 1 This beat make me wanna beat off Might get you drunk with this liquor flow ‘Bout to blow this whole motherfuckin’ scene off And get you high on the spiritual Not to brag but g it’s easy how I been on Still getting off from her head to toe I’m out of body out of mind when I spit it bro You’d think I’m a god if you ever really listened bro for realla though I’m done working for a back up So tell the fakes to go and back their back up and pack a pack up And leave It for the strong to pick the slack up And me I quit the bitching chitter chat and stand up Believe I got this in the bag like Santa The beat The rap and the track I manage You see I’m using all this hate to my advantage I’m a chief Bitch can’t you see my fucking feathers? I’m from the South city Of a north island In the middle of the ocean We don’t talk about it I can see they all doubted They yelling from the back while I’m just foregrounding From the land of the long cloud tryna find my place to stand, keep my thoughts grounded These fella’s couldn’t see me so I had to cross the sea yah I’m the one they doubted they should not have written me off yeah Understand? Understood. Overlooked, underbooked But that’s the shit I feed off all year round boy I do this four seasons Chorus All year round all all All year round all all All year round boy I do this four seasons seasons round all all All year round all all Now the whole tribe at the four seasons All year round all all All year round all all All year round boy I do this four seasons seasons All year round all all All year round all all Now the whole tribe at the four seasons yeah Verse 2 Chorus I pray I pray That if I stray I stray I won't forget my roots no no no If i Do what's wrong it’s in the right way right way You know it’s been bills bills bills and the rents due If you writing me messages I pray you press send too That’s one thing one thing that I'll never ever ever do Is leave that difference ‘tween what I said and what I meant to We live in a World of noise and distractions A planet of spectators man I’m tryna bring action Cuz Imma find my place to stand and get traction Cuz While the Seasons come and seasons go this chief in me is free to grow oh oh Chorus
