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
