'Uknowatitiz' - Tomorrow People - So Far Remix

Latasha Lee & The Black Ties - Mr. Postman F-mixx

You think that you’re a catch
You’re only catching STDs 
You act like prison made you tough 
You spent the whole time on your knees 
A real man protects you 
He doesn’t plot your downfall 
A real man is supportive 
Guess you’re no man at all 
He handles his business 
Without being a snitch 
And if he’s got a girl supporting him 
Well, we call that a bitch 
So hop down little man 
From that high horse, you’re on 
You ain’t fooling nobody 
And everyone’s gone 
We all got fed up with your games n your lies 
Don’t ask me for help, I won’t be your alibi 
You thought you could play me, thought you got me real good
Should’ve treated me right, baby when you still could 
You’re the worst kind of person 
That I’ve ever met 
Sleep with one eye open 
You ain’t seen nothing yet
Do you think that you’re petty? 
That’s funny how cute 
Have a good day 
I got a new piece to shoot 
And I don’t wanna see you ever again 
You’ve made a new enemy 
I’m no longer your friend 
So hop down little man 
From that high horse, you’re on 
You ain’t fooling nobody 
And everyone’s gone 
We all got fed up with your games n your lies 
Don’t ask me for help, I won’t be your alibi 
You thought you could play me, thought you got me real good
Should’ve treated me right, baby when you still could 
Your new bitch is huge 
Do you milk her at night? 
I could bake her some cupcakes 
Make her belly feel right 
But you always did like them 
On the giant side 
If I were you baby 
I’d be trying to hide 
No more lies 
No more worry 
No more constant regret 
no more hide in my money 
no more living in debt 
You truly gave me a gift when you told me goodbye 
You lost the best thing you had 
And I still don’t understand why 
So hop down little man 
From that high horse, you’re on 
You ain’t fooling nobody 
And everyone’s gone 
We all got fed up with your games n your lies 
Don’t ask me for help, I won’t be your alibi 
You thought you could play me, thought you got me real good
Should’ve treated me right, baby when you still could 
You thought you could play me guess I got you real good 
you never treated me right 
So I found somebody who would 
Yeah, I know you think you got me good 
Should’ve treated me right baby 
Back when you still could

When you still could.mp3

Ria Hall is an exciting new voice on the contemporary New Zealand music landscape. Creatively informed by west coast hip-hop, vintage reggae, classic soul, dancehall ragga and modern beat music, she presents a fresh and vibrant perspective as both a young Māori woman, and as a cutting edge, 21st century singer and artist.

Born in Tauranga, Ria spent time in Auckland and Australia, before settling in Wellington and really finding her musical feet. She co-formed and fronted the reggae band Hope Road, who, in performing at the Parihaka International Peace Festival and Wellington’s Waitangi Day One Love event, won the respect of Aotearoa's elite roots, reggae and soul music communities. This led to her joining Hollie Smith’s live ensemble, becoming part of Eru Dangerspiel’s psychedelic explosion, and, latterly, performing backing vocals for the 2010 reunion shows of the iconic Trinity Roots. 

Her profile has also been lifted significantly by her inspired performance at the opening ceremony of Rugby World Cup 2011 – a performance witnessed by a televised audience of millions.

Working with producer and mentor Riki Gooch (Eru Dangerspiel, Trinity Roots) on her self titled EP, Ria has fashioned a vibrant new take on an age-old story. By incorporating her many disparate influences – Māori performing arts, te reo Māori, modern musical palettes, whānau, and her own life history into a seamless whole, she presents her story, her perspective.
