Lyrics Celebration - Tipene

Yeah
It was all a dream
I used to read "Rip It Up" magazine
Way back we ate the powder milk and margarine
Hanging pictures on my wall
To cover up the holes that were left
From the fight the night before
My tape rocked Bone, Biggie and Pac
Eazy-E made me wanna hate cops
But I realised that's only in America cuz
Don't get sucked in by that American buzz
This is Aotearoa New Zealand
Best place in the world to live is the true meaning
Being native is a cool feeling
And this Hori's still scheming
Hood life ain't giving us much to believe in
Yeah! but, I'm right here I'm never leaving
Hard work tautoko be the reason... ahhhh

It's all love, love, love
It's all love, love
It's all love, love, love
It's all love, love

Big mihi to my mum and dad
Love you long time
Best friends that I could ever have
To all my brothers and my sisters
I came a long way from that little hori "Mischief"
But I feel you watching from a distance
I hope it sounds buzzie
Hope it feels like Christmas
Coz celebrations in the air
So better go getchu' a beer n pull up a chair
To all my uncles and my aunties
I love to the max and thank you for being hearty
For saving all us kids from the parties
Late nights crusing with the cuzzies in the car seats
For everything you fullas taught me
I honor you by passing it on to my seeds
And when life gets hard
You feel you can't breathe
If your lost you look
And you will find me
I got you

It's all love, love, love
It's all love, love
It's all love, love, love
It's all love, love

The Tautoko album
I found a way to finish it
Thanks to the Abbott, Jayrasik
And the whole Tribal Syndicate
All the home town rappers that I kicked it with
Music is the dream right now
Whanau we living it
SickDrumz, AdZe and ZombeatZ
Meke for the mahi bang em out when I want beats
DAM, UHP, DLT
I guess you fullahs never know
How much you helped me
To Majic Paora and the whanau
Time in the sunshine flow rocking a paahau
Bass line bump in the car wave as they pass slow
"West Side Hori" whanau kotahi tatau
Scribble, Sid, Tizzle, Rex, Koma and Che Fu,
Tyna, Juse1, K-One because they knew
Prince Tui Teka always be number 1
And KRM for giving me
A song with my mum, I gotchu'

It's all love, love, love
It's all love, love
It's all love, love, love
It's all love, love
It's a celebration
Of my life
Of my people
It's a celebration
Of my life
Of my people
It's a celebration
Of my life
It's a celebration
Of all of you (cracked it!)
