"All Eyes On Us" is a highly collaborative, meticulously crafted project that features fifteen Indigenous artists from across North America and sonic soundscapes that span the entire genre of Hip-Hop. The title of the album is a nod to the confidence, growth, and maturation the artist feels both musically and personally as he reveals his career-spanning journey to accept his place in the spotlight. Across eighteen songs, Mattmac and his all-star collaborators share tales of resilience, growth, community, affirmation, and pride.

LYRICS

I’ve been waiting for my time to come 
been going crazy and my mind is numb 
The light is fading cause we’re dying young 
this life’s a maze it feels like i am lost 
Just give it time 
and I’ll be fine 


This life is like a race that i don’t wanna run 
Everyday is like i live without the sun 
Some people telling me they knew what I’d become 
You will never understand where i am from 
when I look back there is so much that I’ve done 
To only end up where the journey had begun 
A celebration but it ain’t about the fun
I’m Breaking cycles while I’m holding on a grudge 
been feeling lost I don’t know who to trust 
Because I can’t help overthink and I feel stuck  
Now you wonder why I’m calling up the plug 
People talking but there’s nothing to discuss 


I’ve been waiting for my time to come 
been going crazy and my mind is numb 
The light is fading cause we’re dying young 
this life’s a maze it feels like i am lost 
Just give it time 
and I’ll be fine 


Hang in there hold on tight just keep fighting
Keep believing, don’t give up, keep on trying
Take a chance, give it time don’t give up
Look inside understand you’re good enough
You need to believe in yourself when no one cares
You need to continue to work with nobody there
The keys to visualize living your best life
24 hours a day, working Working the late nights
Nothing worth having is ever gonna be easy to get
Give it time, keep trying again and again
hold yourself up with love and with pride
You are worthy so give it time

I’ve been waiting for my time to come 
been going crazy and my mind is numb 
The light is fading cause we’re dying young 
this life’s a maze it feels like i am lost 
Just give it time 
and I’ll be fine

Lyrics

Enter the game i’m moving up
I made it this far I’m out of your reach
They see that I’m blind they calling my bluff
Still play the hero shout out to big neech
Pulled up to the studio, I’m getting too lit
Pour one up then we be lighting the spliff
I got off the rez now I’m walking these streets
Got me some profit off making some beats

Enter the game i’m moving up
I made it this far I’m out of your reach
They see that I’m blind they calling my bluff
Still play the hero shout out to big neech
Pulled up to the studio, I’m getting too lit
Pour one up then we be lighting the spliff
I got off the rez now I’m walking these streets
Got me some profit off making some beats


Gotta maintain all my energy
Doing this shit for my family yeah
I remember they was doubting me yeah
All of my people surrounding me yeah
Lately been seeing the fans they call me the man
They Put me on camera
It’s not how I planned up
Getting the things I see in my dreams
It’s coming to me because I demand it
I can’t help but level up
Now that they see all this branding
Profits steady piling up
Rez kid taking chances
People seeing what I have
It comes for the  action
Ain’t no relaxing
Jump on the beat I’m a smash it
I’m a do it with no asking

Enter the game i’m moving up
I made it this far I’m out of your reach
They see that I’m blind they calling my bluff
Still play the hero shout out to big neech
Pulled up to the studio, I’m getting too lit
Pour one up then we be lighting the spliff
I got off the rez now I’m walking these streets
Got me some profit off making some beats

Enter the game i’m moving up
I made it this far I’m out of your reach
They see that I’m blind they calling my bluff
Still play the hero shout out to big neech
Pulled up to the studio, I’m getting too lit
Pour one up then we be lighting the spliff
I got off the rez now I’m walking these streets
Got me some profit off making some beats

My neechies be cooking the north
Chefing these heaters all up in the cold
Sticking my sneakers all up in the door
Open that thing up for all of the bros
Linking with Matt baby boy killing it Bringing it back
Stomping the map F what you heard
Me and my nephew we come from the dirt
A couple of natives we making it work
Who stopping the neechie? we waking the neighbours up
I’m one with Creator I swear that they favour us 
My Kokum* she told me that was her favourite/
She never made it up all of them hated
no matter the business they label us dangerous 

Enter the game i’m moving up
I made it this far I’m out of your reach
They see that I’m blind they calling my bluff
Still play the hero shout out to big neech
Pulled up to the studio, I’m getting too lit
Pour one up then we be lighting the spliff
I got off the rez now I’m walking these streets
Got me some profit off making some beats

Enter the game i’m moving up
I made it this far I’m out of your reach
They see that I’m blind they calling my bluff
Still play the hero shout out to big neech
Pulled up to the studio, I’m getting too lit
Pour one up then we be lighting the spliff
I got off the rez now I’m walking these streets
Got me some profit off making some beats

Enter the game i’m moving up
I made it this far I’m out of your reach
They see that I’m blind they calling my bluff
Still play the hero shout out to big neech
Pulled up to the studio, I’m getting too lit
Pour one up then we be lighting the spliff
I got off the rez now I’m walking these streets
Got me some profit off making some beats

The broken glass I”m walking on hurts my feet
And all the demons that I’m running from are catching up to me
I don’t know where I’m going
I’m a rock and roll rolling stone and your skin is glowing

Walk away from my problems
Raised on the rez I don’t know how to solve it
Steady treading water, now feel like I’m drowning
Gotta make something shake I’m running out of options 
Big body biz don’t mean shit to me
I ain’t no fucken activist don’t raise no fist to me
I done seen my Mua’phuckkin people live in misery
But guided out the mud next day, ain’t no victim in my blood
this shit victory 
I done pray through every problem that it given me
Even pray for oppositions in my enemies
It’d a Take some time to find some inner peace

The broken glass I”m walking on hurts my feet
And all the demons that I’m running from are catching up to me
I don’t know where I’m going
I’m a rock and roll rolling stone and your skin is glowing

Cause when they see you rise 
They hoping that you fall
And when you all alone
nobody gonna take your call 
And when you on your own
Ain’t nobody get involved
They be lookin at you
Like you’ll prolly never beat the odds
Feeling all this energy Don’t wanna be enemies
Used to walk around the rez and lost in thoughts this shit been killing me
Feel like I couldn’t make it out but we here now
My mind was filled with doubts but we here now 
Ain’t no looking back when you’re on your way up 
Been growing up fast but I wanna stay young
The world is in the past it won’t let it change us or break us

The broken glass I”m walking on hurts my feet
And all the demons that I’m running from are catching up to me
I don’t know where I’m going
I’m a rock and roll rolling stone and your skin is glowing
