15 - Karekau (Ft. Swizl Jager)
Nobody

Korihi

Kei hea te whakataetae where is the competition
Karekau nowhere
Kei hea te hoariri where is the opponent
Karekau noone
Ko wai e pai ake who is better
Karekau noone
E toa ake who is braver
Karekau noone
E kaha ake
Karekau noone

Rei Verse

Koirā te take, kei te mahi hāti, mai i taku ate
That’s it, I work hard, that’s just how I’m built
He uri nō Hape, nāna a Te Rauparaha i ako ake
A descendant of Hape, who trained the great chief Te Rauparaha
Ka karo i te tope, ka ora ka ora e kore e mate
So I will parry your strike, I will survive, I will not be defeated.
Ō hahau poke ka whakahiko ake rite ki te kawhe
Try to axe me, it just charges me up like a coffee.

A piki mai rā, kiki mai rā te kapa ōpango
I rise to the challenge like an all black
Kāore aku hate pango, kei a au nei taku kawau mārō
But I don’t need a black shirt, to get in fighting formation
Whā waho, kaue e tū ihu, kia tūpato
Far out, if you snob me, be careful
Ko taku whāinga kia hangaia tōku ao tito patō
Really I’m focused on bettering this world with my raps

Pre Korihi

Kimihia kimihia kimihia
Search and search and search
Kāore au i te mōhio ki whea
Cos’ I don’t know where..
Kimihia kimihia kimihia
Search and search and search
Ko māua, ko māua anake pea
I guess it’s just you and me then..

Korihi

Kei hea te whakataetae where is the competition
Karekau nowhere
Kei hea te hoariri where is the opponent
Karekau noone
Ko wai e pai ake who is better
Karekau noone
E toa ake who is braver
Karekau noone
E kaha ake
Karekau noone


Swizl Verse

Nau mai haere mai rā ki tōku ao
Welcome to my world..
Ko koe te Manuhiri, ko au te manu pao
You're just a visitor, I’m the leader of this rap thing.
I tēnei ao hurihuri, te huringa pūngao
In this turning world, always switching energies
Rite ki a Tāne, i hanga au i tōku taiao
Just like Tāne the god of the forest, I’m creating my own environment

Kei te pīrangi koe ki te tākaro, kāore ahau i te purei
Oh so you want to play games, sorry that’s not for me
Kaua i te Mane, kaua i te Wenerei, kia kaua i te Tūrei
Not on a Monday, not on a Wednesday and definitely not on a Tuesday
Ehara tēnei i te kēmu, kei runga rawa māua ko Rei
This is not a game, but me and Rei still stay on top
Kāore i kō mai, kāore i kō atu, kāore i kō nei
There’s absolutely nobody better at this than us

Pre Korihi

Kimihia kimihia kimihia
Search and search and search
Kāore au i te mōhio ki whea
Cos’ I don’t know where..
Kimihia kimihia kimihia
Search and search and search
Ko māua, ko māua anake pea
I guess it’s just you and me then..

Korihi

Kei hea te whakataetae where is the competition
Karekau nowhere
Kei hea te hoariri where is the opponent
Karekau noone
Ko wai e pai ake who is better
Karekau noone
E toa ake who is braver
Karekau noone
E kaha ake
Karekau noone
