(Scratch break DLT)
Yeah, Now who this hori causing all the commotion
Overdosing with those rebellious flows that brew in the cauldron
Slice through oceans like dolphins blowing the scope right open
Through every valley and reaching cities through alley ways
Until my bounty's paid Teeps gonna be that renegade
Protest to the end of days carving em up on center stage
Exposing em' out in the open like exoskeleton
With a bit of that old fashion 'go get em'"
For taking that land they stole for ransom
Coz the persistent resistance against the system
Wont let em' have it with a veteran like Abbott
On the 1's and 2's multiple stab wounds
DLT whip lashing like bamboo Roger that like 'Randle'
Blow em' out just like a candle
These East Coast Hori's on the map will get your plans pulled
And we got Bad skill and got the Bad beats
Aotearoa E Tu to your feet like
Oh Yeah, and shots out to the Pioneers
Those Hori's on the mic
Be your worst nightmare like yeah
We'll show em' when the smoke clears
This is I, this is we, this is us
Oh yeah and that's the reason why I'm here
Those Hori's on the mic
You thought we'd all disappeared we right here
We'll show em' when the smoke clears
This is I, this is we, this is us
I grew up by the river, the Waiapu river
My verse is real life my words make you shiver
I'm tryna figure out if this curse that I was given
Or maybe this a gift that I was born to deliver
The city I was raised in got a bad reputation
I'm Porirua bred, mean I came up from the basement
The bottom to the top before my whole world got caved in
But that's another story and this here's for my natives
I'm born with a rhythm, I'm Kaupapa driven
When I first heard Hype it changed the life that I was living
To hear another Hori with a story just like mine
And he talking bout our people I can hear it in his lines
His flow so uplifted it made me wanna shine
Who'd of thought a Māori boy could be the greatest of all time
My status motivated I had pages full of rhymes so outrageous
Felt like I was bringing vision to the blind
Kinda like inception putting pictures in their minds
From conception of the thought I developed and designed
Another day another mountain see the challenge is the climb
And I can balance like the GOAT when my talents on the line
Salute your boy Tynez
Oh Yeah, and shots out to the Pioneers
Those Hori's on the mic
Be your worst nightmare like yeah
We'll show em' when the smoke clears
This is I, this is we, this is us
Oh yeah and that's the reason why I'm here
Those Hori's on the mic
You thought we'd all disappeared we right here
We'll show em' when the smoke clears
This is I, this is we, this is us
The same reason Phil Fuemana did it R.I.P
Around the same season UHP hit it then it was me
Native straight down to business the industry told me
It was a fad I had to silence the critics
This Ole Skool Fool still moves microphones I still
Spit heat like a Hangi Stone Bo!
My kainga noho my family home
Aotearoa where they'll bury my bones Yes
This fresh face fist raised fullah brought up on fish fingers
Straight outta Borstal get horsed until there's no pingaz
Better known to the world as N.A.T.I.V.E Native
Oh Yeah, and shots out to the Pioneers
Those Hori's on the mic
Be your worst nightmare like yeah
We'll show em' when the smoke clears
This is I, this is we, this is us
Oh yeah and that's the reason why I'm here
Those Hori's on the mic
You thought we'd all disappeared we right here
We'll show em' when the smoke clears
This is I, this is we, this is us
