lirik lagu e tu – upper hut posse
intro:
karanga, rangatahi, whakarongo, whakarongo
we’re nga tamatoa, so we must light te ahi
don’t get led astray by babylon, kia mau ki to maori
[verse 1]
there’s a lot of people who think they’re tough today
but chiefs like te rauparaha woulda blown dem away, cher!
hone heke he expressed his disgust by
cutting down the flagpole, huh
pakeha k!lled maori inna matawhero
so te kooti exacted it in a slaughter
yes, the maori battalion inna world war two
staunch on the battlefield they had many clues
like moana ngarimu on hill 209, victoria cross so true so strong
yes the maori was a bad warrior
strike fear in the hearts of the babylon soldier
yeah its true, yeah its true, that’s why i’m talking to you
kia kaha, kia kaha two one two two
[chorus:]
e tu
stand proud
kia kaha
say it loud
[verse 2:]
the man who tried to k!ll him was von tempsky
but he became a victim of his own folly
cause t-tokowaru was too smart you see
guerilla warfare, huh, maori
the british raided a pa they thought it’d be a victory
but kawiti fooled the enemy
the british raided the pa yeah but they got shot down
cause kawiti had a plan and it was sound, break down
te rangihaeata believes in holding land
against the foe, yo, the british man
to him land’s essential to the mana of the chief
and in the hutt there were some hardcore feats
in 1846 in the hutt valley i said
fighting broke out between the british and the maori
and more than one settler on disputed land
was k!lled when the maori fought the british plan
cause white rule and injustice go hand in hand
so against that is where we stand
don’t forget those who’ve fought before
our struggle continues more and more
yeah it’s a struggle, it’s a struggle
the system’s got us in a muddle
so strive to get outta this puddle
well i always put my mind to the rhyme
don’t wear no gold chains cause we ain’t that kind
don’t neva rap and say i think i’m cool
just preach the truth with us that’s a rule
yeah, rising inflation to me is a crime
and sport is politics so don’t mess with my mind
they falsely own our land so they really don’t
we’ve been ripped off man so shut up i won’t
you gotta learn the history to know where ya truly are
learn it somehow this ignorance has gone too far
have self determination in what ya gonna do
kia kaha, kia mau ki to maori
don’t let no-one stand on you
