My rendition of a traditional Maori song and a bridge between my life and my heritage

Hoki Mai E Tama Ma

In early August, 2022, I lost all my belongings in a house fire, including the broken 2006 macbook I used to produce music for the past 11 years. I had spent the prior month not sleeping, working 5am shifts and producing music overnight. This EP is a compilations of recordings I made during that month before everything changed.

ugh fuck burn another resource
post in the car singing songs with a weak heart
summer in the real world
post in the car snorting bumps with a/c on

Ima stay awake tonight
Baby I don't wanna sleep
Burn me up in your fire
Loverboy effigy
Wrapping barbed wire round my heart
Till it won't bleed
Ima keep it to myself
Sometimes I don't wanna speak

Keep it close to my chest
Run my mouth, end up dead
I'm on point, do my best
Girl I want to be bad
I'm not mad, girl I'm pissed
Got a 13 tattooed on my wrist
Go back home, I'm not stressed
Girl you live in my head

Driving out fast
Late at night down 85
Headed out southbound
Guided by satellite
It's really just you and me on my best nights
I won't leave the city baby
I won't drive the car tonight

Keep it close to my chest
Run my mouth, end up dead
I'm on point, do my best
Girl I want to be bad
I'm not mad, girl I'm pissed
Got a 13 tattooed on my wrist
Go back home, I'm not stressed
Girl you live in my head

KeepItClose

6:45
Moonlight stings my eyes
Smoky Denver skies
Sacred wounds and butterflies
A fallen star
An endless void
A pesticide
A Cornerstone

A home (home, home, home)
A home (home, home, home)
In love (home, home, home)
Behind a wall (home, home, home)
And it's not home (home, home, home)
And it's here (home, home, home)

7:15 it's recital
Existential disciple
Stoner Lady Godiva
Throwing leaves on the fire
I'll go hang with Michael
Tore a page from the Bible
It's a note from the author
It said look where it got you
It said look where it got you, oh

(Hold back, don't bring it to the people now)

2/17 on arrival
Feeling calm in a crisis
Heart tornado provider
I could rest in the cyclone
Contingent revival
Rising out of the cycle
Resurrected but spiteful
I said look how it finds you
I said look how it finds you, oh

(Hold back, don't bring it to the people now)

I guess it could seem I'm alive
Is it because I'm a fighter
Heart tornado provider
Throwing leaves on the fire
6:45 I got heartbeats and comments
2/17 I said look how it finds you
I said look how it finds you, oh

Sky
I'm underneath it
Almost undefeated
When I get so turned around
I can't believe it
I'm underneath it
Underneath the ceiling
Let me know what kind of love
You ain't receiving

When you feel like giving up
When the world just don't spin round like it should
And you feel like you're no good
Just don't give up baby
I'm on my way

Break it up
Ingenious
You're in the sun
Rolling blunts
You got enough
You got enough
In the front
Delirious
I'm having fun
Windows up
You got enough
You got enough
You don't speak
I never eat
We never touch
What you want
You got it all
It's in your palms
What you want
Just hold your breath
You never know
What you want
You got enough
You got enough

When you feel like giving up
When the world just don't spin round like it should
And you feel like you're no good
Just don't give up baby
I'm on my way

Ima go back home again
What's the point of anything
Rolling up again, again
Integrate the medicine
Ima text you when I'm back
I got storm clouds in my head
So fed up with everything
I can feel the gravity

When you feel like giving up
When the world just don't spin round like it should
And you feel like you're no good
Just don't give up baby
I'm on my way

Break it up
Ingenious
You're in the sun
Rolling blunts
You got enough
You got enough
In the front
Delirious
I'm having fun
Windows up
You got enough
You got enough
You don't speak
I never eat
We never touch
What you want
You got it all
It's in your palms
What you want
Just hold your breath
You never know
What you want
You got enough
You got enough

And the window's looking out over the mountains
Got a tidal wave ruining the horizon
Gonna fall apart when I can talk about it
Gonna fall apart when I can talk about it
And the window's looking out over the mountains
Got a tidal wave ruining the horizon
Gonna fall apart when I can talk about it
Gonna fall apart when I can talk about it

OnMyWay

It's the moon in the daytime
Driving down Baseline
Heart on a high wire
Recording at nighttime
Everything's all right
It's the snow in October
At the end of the summer
Once the weekend is over
And I'm designer distorted
The same as under the covers
The same as under the covers
And baby, I can't remember
If it's the end of the summer
I'm under, over, above it
I pulled my heart out the gutter

It's kinda fun,  it's kinda fun
It's kinda fun to make it up as we go along, huh

It's the moon in the daytime
Driving down Baseline
Heart on a high wire
Recording at nighttime
Everything's all right
It's the snow in October
At the end of the summer
Once the weekend is over
And I'm designer distorted
The same as under the covers
The same as under the covers
And baby, I can't remember
If it's the end of the summer
I'm under, over, above it
I pulled my heart out the gutter
