As I Walk

[Verse 1]

Sometimes I hear it

Sometimes I read it

Most times they tweet it, I delete it

They think, I want you to act

Act like you're grateful, be the staple

Looping fake text be the handle

Mis-history they believe, not me

Did you know?

[Chorus]

As I walk, eyes be on me

I can feel them hate me

As I walk, violence they breathe

I can see them, hear them scream as I walk

(As I walk, as I walk, as I walk, as walk)

As I walk

(As I walk, as I walk, as I walk, as I walk)

[Verse 2]

Moriori hear it

Taranaki feel it

Maunakea state it, Trump negate it, Aue

Toiroa saw it

Maihi stood against it

First Nations ill-accused

Abducted, abused, and sued

And did you know?

[Bridge]

As walk 'neath the load (As I walk, as I walk, as I walk)

I te wa e rurea nei

E kore e pähika

E kore e päheke

E kore e mania

Ka ara, ka ea

And did you know?

[Chorus]

As I walk, eyes be on me (Eyes be on me)

I can feel them hate me (As I walk)

As I walk, violence they breathe (Oh, they breathe)

I can see them, hear them scream as I walk

As I walk, as I walk, as I walk

As I walk, as I walk, as I walk

As I walk, as I walk, as I walk

As I walk, as I walk, as I walk

As I walk, as I walk, as I walk

As I walk, as I walk, as I walk

As I walk, as I walk, as I walk

As I walk, as I walk, as I walk
