Not gana go said I’m staying on track
I walk the talk and erase the back chat
Take a Polaroid of me coz I picture all that
Put it in a frame of mind I’m getting better with time

Hingakore au, māku tonu taku ara
Taurangitia māku e whakaraka
Kapohia taku ata, inā rawa te pai
Tāria te wā, e piki ai te oranga

Kāre au e whai wā
Small minds talking little things
Kāre au e whai wā
For talking down and Negative energy
Kāre au e whai wā
Snakes and vamps getting all
Of me
Kāre au e whai wā
so I tell ‘em all to leave
But I got time for
Holding space and meeting where u r
And I got time for
Being better than the day before
And I got time for
the blessings in lessons for what they are
And I got time for that yea I got time for that

Hingakore au, māku tonu taku ara
Taurangitia māku e whakaraka
Kapohia taku ata, inā rawa te pai
Tāria te wā, e piki ai te oranga

Kāre au e whai wā
Ngā tāngata e kore e mohio
Kāre au e whai wā
Ngā Ngutu tere o ērā tāngata
Kāre au e whai wā
If you ain’t down for the kaupapa
Kāre au e whai wā,
So haere atu ra
E whai wā ana au
For my friends and family
E whai wā ana au
Those that got the time for me
E whai wā ana au
Kia ora pai te ngākau mō ngā wheako hou

Hingakore au, māku tonu taku ara
Taurangitia māku e whakaraka
Kapohia taku ata, inā rawa te pai
Tāria te wā, e piki ai te oranga


Better with time

Not gana go said I’m staying on track

I walk the talk and erase the back chat

Take a Polaroid of me coz I picture all that

Put it in a frame of mind I’m getting better with time



Hingakore au, māku tonu taku ara

(I will not fall, I will make my own path)

Taurangitia māku e whakaraka

(making a promise, I will step out)

Kapohia taku ata, inā rawa te pai

(Capture my image, looks good)

Tāria te wā, e piki ai te oranga

(In time, I’ll get better)



Kāre au e whai wā (I don’t have time for)

Small minds talking little things

Kāre au e whai wā

For talking down and Negative energy

Kāre au e whai wā

Snakes and vamps getting all

Of me

Kāre au e whai wā

so I tell ‘em all to leave

But I got time for

Holding space and meeting where u r

And I got time for

Being better than the day before

And I got time for

Kāre au e whai wā

Ngā tāngata e kore e mohio

Ngā Ngutu tere o ērā tāngata

Kāre au e whai wā

If you ain’t down for the kaupapa

Kāre au e whai wā,

So haere atu ra (leave)

E whai wā ana au (I do have time for)

For my friends and family

E whai wā ana au

Those that got the time for me

E whai wā ana au

Kia ora pai te ngākau mō ngā wheako hou

(I find time for things that make my heart smile and new experiences)
