about

Inafa'maolek / Live in a Good Way is an original track inspired by the Matao value of harmony and balance with all of creation.

lyrics

Live in a Good way 
Every day
Wake up
Give Thanks for the atdao
Live in a good way Every day
Wake up
and put it down for my taotao
Live in a Good Way Everyday

the pathway i am taking is sacred when i walk it 
concious of creating the world when i am talkin 
stopping all the traumas of of my mommas and my fathers 
my flow immerses my whole lineage in holy waters 
soaking sores of those before with spoken words 
i open doors to ocean shores and hope for more 
healing and revealing reconnection to my feelings 
seeing through the sky with no embodying the ceiling
revelations of creating the bonds of our relations 
i'm taking the path of taking it back to facing the facts 
of our existence reconnection to the mystics 
the language of spirit is the OG scientifics 
dancing the inscription of my intuitions hieroglyphics 
reading currents movement is pacifics physics 
listen to the birds as their direction pivots 
they sing the song of life and taught me how to live it 

I'm driven to sail my såkman 
more than chase a stack man 
that path ends up runnning in cages like a pacman 
coming from the past then to where the future happens 
time travel when im rappin laughin or passin the time 
crafting a rhyme i happened to find a path to divine 
ancestors  teachings reaching through dimensions 
when i give attention to genealogies meanings 
seeing while im dreamingx, receiving tarot card readings 
and when focused on my breathing, 
hongi lone trees when im lonely 
just a moment to give my soul peace when I'm OD
stressed out, i stretch and rest while I meditate
And give thanks and praise 
for this life everyday 
and everyday  

Ha’åni yan Ha’åni
Hu sodda’ i minaolek gi lina’lå-hu
gi lina’lå-hu
