Mix Lyrics

Verse 1
Who are you to tell me just who I can't be
You don't know my past if you don't ask me
I see you make judgements tryna judge us please
And I do not wear one so you can't unmask me
Try categorise my skin tone
(you don’t know)
Dissect all my heritage no
(you don’t know)
Fuck your analysis of the way I speak ‘coz
(you don’t know)
I can tell you now all I speak is chief cuz

Pre Chorus
My mind closed to the closed minded
I know
got no time bro
for none of those blinded
Who is at fault, were they born like that
Why though
think I know
We got that inner chief you should go find it

Chorus
Mix mix all my people mix
All this blood is mixed
All this love is mixed
All the stones and sticks
Cannot break our links
So we mix mix all my people mix

Verse 2
Know the world keeps telling you to be this or that
Well I'm both
I can't be someone else's ideal man
The hell I won’t
They want a sound bite so bite sized dam
Tell em no
You will not change me for no price rise and..

Pre Chorus
My mind closed to the closed minded
I know
Got no time bro
For none of those blinded
Who is at fault, were they born like that
Why though
Think I know
We got that inner chief you should go find it

Chorus
Mix mix all my people mix
All this blood is mixed
All this love is mixed
All the stones and sticks
Cannot break our links
So we mix mix all my people mix

Bridge
Wait now wait now
think they want you to stay down stay down
For you to know your place now place now
Just to lie flat face down face down
but the youth gonna break out break out
Said the tribe gonna break out break out
No we won't take no pay out pay out
I just wanna find my way now way now

Pre Chorus
My mind closed to the closed minded
I know
got no time bro
for none of those blinded
Who is at fault, were they born like that
Why though
think I know
We got that inner chief you should go find it

Chorus
Mix mix all my people mix
All my blood is mixed
All this love is mixed
All the stones and sticks
Cannot break our links
So we mix mix all my people mix

Outro
I ahu mai koe i whea?
Ka eke eke eke ki whea?
Ki te taumata me he taumaha ne?
Ki te tuohu me he maunga teitei

Outro Translation
Where have you come from?
Where are you heading to?
To the summit bearing heavy burdens?
Well if you should fall, let it be to a lofty mountain.
