[00:00.000] (Donald)
[00:00.001] This goes out to you working to make ends meet
[00:05.094] And this goes out to you working in your office suite
[00:07.634] This goes out for you who fear there is no hope
[00:10.272] May my passion inspire, so please listen in close
[00:12.595] This is for my people struggling with education
[00:15.155] And this is for my people excelling past expectations
[00:17.992] The story is simple as our life pages turn
[00:20.154] From our journey of passion may your conscience mind learn
[00:23.335] (Te Awanui)
[00:23.803] Untarnished flames step alongside us
[00:26.142] On our journey
[00:29.002] Teaching beam through our rhymes
[00:32.119] Humble remains oh the spirit that guides the
[00:38.975] Concisenses in our lives
[00:41.439] (Donald)
[00:41.599] This goes out to you who said we wouldn't make it
[00:47.351] This goes out to those who said we wouldn't make the cut
[00:50.448] I've seen my share of people spreading gypsy myths
[00:52.969] Crossed paths with people dodgier stiffer than 50 pricks
[00:55.395] But still there's never been an obsticle unecessary
[00:58.089] Looking back the reflections that ish was legendary
[01:01.027] Donald, Fred and Chelease back in 96'
[01:02.867] Chapter 1 of my Genesis
[01:05.311] Yo Chapter 2
[01:07.110] Now that's a different story it was me leki
[01:09.500] Singing hooks self explanatory
[01:11.980] Blossomed to merge and DIRECT HARMONY
[01:14.380] It was about time we met the Fa'atasi Family
[01:16.782] Went on to rock talent quest, numerous shows
[01:19.455] Last minute rugged cuts haha sabre let 'em know
[01:21.139] (Feleti)
[01:21.307] Hysterical productions looking back that's history
[01:24.862] Dispite the horrors of flat moments friendship remained the key
[01:27.276] (Donald)
[01:27.437] Now around 98' Arch Dynasty formed
[01:30.042] Chapter 3, D.H and Fa'atasi joined force
[01:32.961] Pasifika festivals, Grey Lynn community
[01:35.461] Laying the foundation for this Nesian Mooli
[01:38.076] Chapter 4 into the final thought
[01:39.917] Reminiscing back on lessons experience, once taught
[01:43.391] Continuly proceed by any means see fit
[01:46.614] This has been a brief reflection of how I lived
[01:47.847] (Te Awanui)
[01:48.155] A brief reflection
[01:50.928] Listen in right here
[01:54.045] Of my dreams
[01:56.791] Teleport to another time
[01:59.498] Courage enhanced
[02:02.686] Together we're stepping forth no one can hold us back
[02:05.545] Through where I've been
[02:07.968] We are C O C O nuts from da city
[02:09.828] (Feleti)
[02:10.691] Allow me to take you back to where it all began
[02:12.997] Listening to street poets black performing with my dad
[02:15.359] Yoduced to MCing by my cousin Scribe
[02:17.840] Way before him and P-Money's thoughts synchronised
[02:20.497] Along with trax and N.A.T formed the Fa'atasi family
[02:23.247] Representing afakasi's C.O.C.O.N.U.T'S
[02:25.853] Unveiled hiphop in depthly and what it meant to me
[02:28.882] Completed the evolution becoming an MC
[02:31.475] The art form called, open doors by love of people
[02:34.263] Doing gigs nobody else ever will concede to
[02:37.115] Bust Acoustic stylistics with J.P like meditating
[02:39.682] Develop my style and content for navigating
[02:42.432] Through this shady industry which comes with no surprise
[02:45.067] At this time D.L.T truly opened up my eyes
[02:47.486] He said they'll try to change you, but don't let this phase you
[02:50.524] They can't contain the truth, simply remain you
[02:52.613] So with knowledge in my pocket
[02:54.330] And a fist full of rhymes
[02:55.856] Progression was constant
[02:57.115] Lyrics slowly refined
[02:58.514] While the ignorant critized, stepping on hollow ground
[03:00.783] Uplifting belief of family encouraged my inner sound
[03:03.160] The spirit guided me through turbulent monsoons
[03:06.145] A.K.A the non believers with negative attitudes
[03:08.714] May the music empower strengthening within your mental
[03:11.356] Unexpected was the rise of these kats from city central
[03:13.157] (Te Awanui)
[03:14.169] A brief reflection
[03:16.382] Listen in right here
[03:19.526] Of my dreams
[03:22.376] Teleport to another time
[03:24.776] Courage enhanced
[03:27.477] Together we're stepping forth no one can hold us back

[03:51.712] Forget about it no one gonna care about it

[03:56.908] WESTERN SPRINGS was my lily pad to get across the pond
[03:59.254] To prepare for these rivers and these years to come
[04:02.137] Andduced me to my brothers and Advanced to
[04:05.135] TROPICAL PENGUINS but on that topic I'll not mention
[04:07.260] 1 year concentration
[04:08.546] The time had arrived power to techniques
[04:10.522] Backing tracks acoustic gats 4 mics
[04:12.975] Classroom schedule practises to share mind and arise
[04:15.399] NESIAN STYLE

[04:26.695] Coz everybody knows IT'S ON
[04:28.675] I like to send aknowledgement to all those who set this foundation
[04:31.458] For AOTEAROA music to build with self composition
