The Old Ways Coming Back Right Now
Cause thats the Lifestyle that we Live Right now! x3
The Old Ways Coming Back Right Now
Cause thats the Lifestyle that we Live

young kid struck by the spirit of ancient poets fluent in the freestyle language and kept flowing effortless exodus of ancestral messages cause i make the choice to always stay connected with my spirit guides since ancient times letting lyrics fly inspired words fireworks throwing spears of light through the infinite blackness of the clearest night I am everything and so I don’t fear cuz I rather choose love, lather truth up in an attitude of the purest vibration, inafa'maolek as my dad would call it peace and harmony the only system i acknowledge Taotao Håya! our people always been scholars sings chants we memorize to navigate the waters energized by the energies of the unseen entities guiding us to thrive and love in everything we do In this time we be remembering the truth we are born on this planet to be guardians And thats the highest Law we in service to Protect the Land You stand on cause the earth is You Che’lu

The Old Ways Coming Back Right Now
Cause thats the Lifestyle that we Live Right now! x3
The Old Ways Coming Back Right Now
Cause thats the Lifestyle that we Live

As i stroll thru the jungle i always ask permission From the taotaomo'na to grant me my admission Vision on the spirits guiding me as i try to be respectful of the lives i see finding peace as they hide in trees So Lively inside the spirits residence stay attentive to the messages delivered in the elements Inhale Aniti presence in the Ilang Ilang essences Tiny Glowing mushrooms Evidence of the duendeses Chichirika songs guide babies to their Settlements To remind I taotao-ta to trust our healing medicines The lesson is to listen to the sentiments of sediments The potential of the future is the Testament of remnants nothings broken if I put it back together I can not be lost if i follow my ancestors So i Keep the oil burning in my internal lantern And i Will hear the answers in the whisper of the chanters

Håfa guaha I che'lu-ta Gi hilo' I mañaina-ta
I finatinas-ñihan taotao lagu sen kalakas 
sa’ mamachu'le i te'lang ya manminafak 
lao manakana hit an mañaina gaige ge’papa’ 
gaimanglao fino’-ta u ha fa’gåsi i manatas 
ni manmapo’lu gi tasi ni nå' i guinaha
eyigi nai’ mungga’ manmaleffa i pengga’-ta 
ayu ha fa’nui ham i maolek na lina’la’ 
i pinagat ginen i saina u tagam i mina’lak 
sa’ manman i hemhom lao i atdao minatatnga’ 
hu tayuyoti na mañodda hit i ammot asga’
u ha na’ina i mamaila na machakchak 
kåttan / i ha’åni u ha fato’ ti apman
i hinasso-ta lokkue’ u ha matto’ gi sakman
ginen i langhet manu iyahululu nai maloffan 
fakmåta! taotao-ta nu ini na ogga’an 

The Old Ways Going Forth Right Now
Cause thats the Lifestyle that we Live Right now! x3
The Old Ways Going Forth Right Now
Cause thats the Lifestyle that we Live

u fatto tåtte i pengnga’-ta
sa’ ayu ha taimanu i lina’la’-ta
