"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

LYRICS

I still got love for the rez 
Cause I know how hard life can get 
I still got love for the rez 
And I lost some friends I regret 
I’m stuck in my head been fighting some demons 
I still got some family that be scheming 
Nowadays everybody got they reasons 
And it’s all love every time I see em
I still got live for the rez 
And here’s to the nights I regret 

Might take the kid out the rez but you can’t take the rez out the kid 
can’t change me
in any city still the same me, I’m representing can you blame me?
Where I’m coming from it’s still crazy
chat with the fam trying to save them 
They try to trap us with no motivation
Watch this neechie go mainstream
Been know for the culture that made
Wanna see all of my people be great, Way too many opportunities wasted
Can’t spend up all of our of time trying to get high and get wasted
But i know how it get when you Feeling the pain
Out in the city I’m feeling the same
Stay grounded from lessons I learn on the rez I won’t get far away
When I’m coming back home I just wanna show all of my cousins we made it 
I don’t care what I hear any spot that I go , I put on for GH
Turn this up in them times when you low and feel like you’re losing your way


I still got love for the rez 
Cause I know how hard life can get 
I still got love for the rez 
And I lost some friends I regret 
I’m stuck in my head been fighting some demons 
I still got some family that be scheming 
Nowadays everybody got they reasons 
And it’s all love every time I see em
I still got live for the rez 
And here’s to the nights I regret 

If you come from the rez 
Know your life got obstacles 
They killing our people with murders unsolvable 
Like how is this possible?
I can’t even pour up a clean cup of water to to top is off 
My neighbours been nodding off 
I think that he off of dem drugs again 
I told him to knock it off
I dun put a whole rez on and still I been slept on 
Been waiting on a shout out from big bro 
I thought he was solid I guess I was dead wrong 
Man I should’ve said something 
But forget it, I’m finna be powwow famous 
They wondering how I made it 
This one’s for all of my natives 
I promise one day that we all finna make it 
I ain’t got a problem with you should save it 
Dont fuck with that energy you been displaying 
I needed time all on my own 
Yes I’ll admit I did you wrong 
Don’t take that blame it’s not your fault 
This struggle really takes me home 
Back to my rez where I belong 
They love me there, I could be wrong but

I still got love for the rez 
Cause I know how hard life can get 
I still got love for the rez 
And I lost some friends I regret 
I’m stuck in my head been fighting some demons 
I still got some family that be scheming 
Nowadays everybody got they reasons 
And it’s all love every time I see em
I still got live for the rez 
And here’s to the nights I regret

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

ALL EYES ON US

unodavid - burn

First recorded March 2011. Finished June 14 2013. I wanted it a bit different from the original.


Verse 1

They tell me i'll be fine, just write another rhyme, 
dry your damn eyes you don't needa fucking cry
They tell me don't chu tear, this is gonna be your year
fuck what you love about her cause she aint here

they tell me i aint sick, why is life a fucking bitch
it was long ago but i need birthdays and a wish
they tell me you'll be okay, you don't need to role play, 
you can still wish you was back there in old days

but they say its gone, and i'm wishing it was there
you were my breath and what i'm missing is the air
and the shit you wear, and the kisses and the stares
before we going out and the way you flick your hair

this memory is mine, smell your perfume when you near
waiting by the door see you smiling in the mirror
you trying to get ready and you're diggin through your purse
looking back now motherfucker this hurts

Hook

They tell me I'll be fine
Dry your damn eyes, you don't need to fucking cry
They tell me I'll be fine
With the way you feel do you even wonder why?
They tell me I'll be fine
Picking up the pen lemme write another rhyme
They tell me I'll be fine
Dry your damn eyes, you don't need to fucking cry

Verse 2

they tell me what the fuck was you thinking you aint stupid
I tell those fucks don't chu blame me you can blame cupid
Its the dang music, when she bang to it
she looking good but god damn i'm insane who could

figure me out like she did, but now she hangin out him
and I'm here all alone its starting to make sense
I envy those with a relationship, and the times it make you sick
and the times you that love and all those other shady bits

they told me don't get heavy, but she told me she was ready
wish i fucking knew it cause those moments were to sketchy
i was high up off my feet, her legs dividing in the sheets
it was good times even with her lying through her teeth

Were on and off as a switch, I'm feeling awkward as shit
walking to school in the morning then i walk and i stare
Its her provactive flair, were on and off is it fair
to me, nah, I just want her to care, 

Hook

They tell me I'll be fine
Dry your damn eyes, you don't need to fucking cry
They tell me I'll be fine
With the way you feel do you even wonder why?
They tell me I'll be fine
Picking up the pen lemme write another rhyme
They tell me I'll be fine
Dry your damn eyes, you don't need to fucking cry

Verse 3

You ain't gotta feel like that one bit,
I know that you a young kid
But you don't gotta worry bout them
So forget who you in love with

It could be him, it could be her
Broke the relationship it hurt 
you know that it ain't like the movies
Cause sometimes this shit don't work

You're alone, and it's getting difficult 
to sleep at night
Did everything you knew
so you two could keep it right 

Now it's shaken up Remember the time
you would wake them up, Do you ever
wish that you could be the one to do the breaking up

You dream that it didn't happen you laughin
You got a habit to have it until you see me passin
back to the average, 
can you wake up? Day dreaming you made up
Can you tell me How much of your time does it take up?

I can relate I know you hope I'm witcha
Don't you try to put a flame to that broken picture,
Leave it as a memory, Don't treat me like an enemy
I wanna live forever, so keep it and remember me

Hook

They tell me I'll be fine
Dry your damn eyes, you don't need to fucking cry
They tell me I'll be fine
With the way you feel do you even wonder why?
They tell me I'll be fine
Picking up the pen lemme write another rhyme
They tell me I'll be fine
Dry your damn eyes, you don't need to fucking cry
