Te Matapiko 01:02
Te matapiko o te tangata, our children miss out Te matapiko o te tangata, our children miss out She belongs to no one somebody Ko ia te whaea o tatau katoa The healing properties of the manuka o te kawakawa, reconnect kaingia te miro We forget, kaingia te miro

Reconnect 03:58
Do ya hear the tui call, the huia in the trees A conscious thing I do, sweet sound may you never seize Do ya feel my body burn whenever you are near A thing I do, a fool for you will I ever learn? I hear voices it’s summer calling No more lone, no more lone, no more loneliness Ti's the season to be jolly But it’s not working, it’s not working, it’s not working out (repeat verse and chorus) Change is inevitable, things don't last forever things don't last forever, things don't last forever Change is inevitable, things don't last forever things don't last forever, things don't last forever Do ya hear me now…

Letting Go 03:09
Out Having a good time and I'm letting go Still dropping that beat loud and I'm letting you go Out having a good time and I'm letting you go Give inhibitions the corner, This lady found a new poison she, surrenders life to the music Giving the eye to the D.J , take the hint and proceed to play her song, her song, ohh Out having a good time and I'm letting go Still dropping that beat loud and I'm letting you go Out having a good time and I'm letting you go Still dropping that beat loud And I said, I said Gone are my days of waiting for you I'm in love again, I'm a live again baby Gone are my days of waiting for you I'm in love again, I'm a live again Cause I need to tell ya baby, I've been locked up too long Check the room, I'm b-lining This lady's found a new passion she Loses herself, breaking free Strip all the him, all the pain D.J keep on it, keep real Play my song I'm moving on, ohh (repeat pre -chorus) (repeat chorus) Take the weight off my shoulders I feel the wind on my face Everyday I grow older No longer am I afraid

Sun down Sit up in my room now The walls are closing in closing in babe Borderline the sanity I keep up in my head Innocence is stolen Doomed from the beginning The walls are paper thin paper thin baby The screams they lock me in They lock me in and I join in I think its time they realize, I said I said I think its time they see it through my eyes I pay for mistakes, I never made Children of Romania I pay for mistakes, I never made The children of Romania kia maania to moe e (peaceful may you sleep) (repeat verse) I think its time they realize The truth, the lies, the sacrifice I think its time they see it through my eyes The truth, the lies, the sacrifice I pay for mistakes, I never made Children of Romania I pay for mistakes, I never made The children of Romania, kia maania to moe Kaati to pouri ra (don't be sad) Children of Romania I pay for mistakes, I never made Noho i te aroha (know that I love you) The children of Romania, kia maania to moe e (repeat)

Scouting through the nation Looking for its next victim To corrupt with needs of greed From the streets of rage A new generation cornered into the dark side Call it a menace but to them its life Forever, survival The world societies enforced upon them Who will be their voice Ain’t nothing to loose when you've got nothing The rich are getting richer The poor getting poorer They live, they cry With every breath they grieve they die you know They take from the world that we've condemned them to Who the hell are we supposed to blame you ask? Look in the mirror, if you ain’t apart of the solution Your part of the pain Take off your judgement wig It could have been me It could have been you It could have been us…. Repeat Offender By Maisey Rika and JJ Rika Welcome to the jungle Of owls and spiders Things could go in your favour turn around and bite you in the ass don't it make you want to cry Kiss your mama say goodbye bye bye bye Ain’t no way I'm gonna stay You wonder why I don't pay

Repeat Offender (free) 03:17
Repeat repeat offender Through the generations Who the hell are we supposed to blame? My people are the ones who suffer Repeat repeat offender Through the generations Like zombies we conform to foreign laws Society's the one to blame blame blame blame blame This is a song for my people 'Nga tangata whenua o Aotearoa' (the indigenous people of New Zealand) Kia tupato! Please kia tupato! (be careful) They will never understand The spiritual connections We have with our land Money talks, our land walks It’s our children who miss out Keep strong my people, keep strong, keep strong He Maori, he Maori, he Maori ahau Repeat repeat offender Through the generations Why dont you grow a brain and then you'll come to see This was not the path meant for me yeah, Repeat repeat offender, through the generations Like zombies we conform to foreign laws Society's the one to blame blame blame blame blame Ka whawhai tonu matou, mo ake, ake, ake (We will fight together forever) Whatu ngarongaro he tangata toi tu te whenua (Man come and go, but the land stands forever) Ka whawhai tonu matou, mo ake, ake, ake, ake
