Rei - These Hands

Verse 1

These hands weren't made for wiping no tables
They were made for wiping your tears
These hands weren’t made to work for no labels
Independant to the teeth like a chief maan
I just had to put that on the table
You can take it or leave like kapeesh
Shaking in your seats while I stay still
Me I sound cold boy they just sound nasal yeah
These hands are for the youth fam the rangatahi the rangatahi
I’m Sir Eddy how I climb till there’s no one above me, it’s just the sunny
You’re too busy on the gram boy shutterbuggy man shut your muggy
Make me wanna bounce like a buggin’ bunny
I just wanna make tracks your just for the money yeah

Chorus (Amber Maya)
These hands these hands were built to build not build to destroy
These hands these hands weren’t made to take just made to give boy
So boss man top man, soon I will be long gone from this joint
(Rei)
So if it ever looks like I’m struggling
Better know I’ll be up again yeah

Verse 2
These hands weren’t made for holding no phone lines
More to hold my girl close like
Less it’s calling home time then I’m going O time
Calls to the 4 from the 09
These hands weren’t made to shake with no fake ones
All the shit they talk is clogging up my taste buds
Made for chasing goals not to chase funds
All these part times for the money I replace them yeah
All this fuckin time in for barely above minimum
That’s why I’m OT with these songs keep singing ‘em
And I keep on yelling chief till I find a better synonym
Till I’m earning dough nuts with all of the cinnamon

Chorus (Amber Maya)

Bridge
Better know
If it ever looks like I’m looks like I’m
Just know
Just know I’ll be up again
Better know
I was so down oh so down thinking fuck it then
Just give me some time fam
Just know I’ll be up again yeah
These hands
Weren't made for nothing else
These hands
But to do what they came to do
These hands
Weren’t made for nothing else
These hands
These hands
Yeah

Outro (Amber Maya)
This chief ting in we blood
From our ancestors right through to now
It’s running through your veins and running through my veins
Bare chiefs bout here.
