About your Mum, my Mum and all Mums. Love your Mum!
lyrics
Wāhine Ātāhua by Esoligh feat LMNO, GSR and Fiona Erica
Chorus - Fiona Erica
We all have mothers who gave us life,
They put in the work to bring us to earth
Now I'm giving something back,
Doing what is right, for what it's worth, for what it's worth
Verse One - Esoligh
Wāhine hold a flavour of beauty,
A lightness of the dailiest duty,
A strength of, the baddest ability,
Life like agility, umbilically
They are our first points of call,
Their brightest blessed received by us all,
Becoming a human being gives all,
Experience, infinite to the small
Our mothers are our gift, like,
A creative forceful chairlift,
A pregnancy of, thoughts,
Giving rise to rhymes that are wrought
Who are we but this faaact,
We have a loveliness paaact,
With the possible space of stars on black,
Where from we came and will likely go back
Chorus - Fiona Erica
We all have mothers who gave us life,
They put in the work to bring us to earth
Now I'm giving something back,
Doing what is right, for what it's worth, for what it's worth
Verse Two – LMNO
The love she gives supercedes the negatives,
And without that there's less need to live,
Blessed us with her entrance,
It was a labour of love, intense as it gets,
Rinse out the toxins, whether the storm,
Provided the born, where the guidance is norm,
Loyalty to her offspring, a true Queen,
Unconditional love is her offering,
Nature, nurture, patience, merger,
Her love is close, not further,
She's resilient, beauty is brilliant,
Her existence is all for the children
Not stranded like an abandoned building,
Nor demanded she's ready and willing,
To plant crops in the field where the killing drops,
From this day forth until the sun stops
Chorus – Fiona Erica
We all have mothers who gave us life,
They put in the work to bring us to earth,
Now I'm giving something back,
Doing what is right, for what it's worth, for what it's worth
Verse Three – GSR
Ah, yeah, dear mumma, you always had me feeling strong,
Took away the fears to nightmares, to beautiful dreams
And now it seems that I have to make it right,
Your bear grip, held me tight and secure
The pure rock of the fams, yea Dad left f*ck him man,
But deep down it used to hurt me,
Never slept as I crept into your bed age 5,
Scared and confused, heart bruised
Didn't understand that you wiped my tears, took my hand,
Told me I got a plan but you were white I was tan,
So when school hit, so did the jokes,
And even my coach looked at us weird but we don't care
Carried on living, told me not to listen,
Listen to the Lord as you a Christian,
Still reminiscing, when you went without
To my hot wheels, to my power ranger belts
And the dark road in my teens,
Me turning into someone that I hated being,
Not seeing my destruction,
An ignorant kid hanging with the wrong crowd
Deep in the dirt, cos you helped me convert and read my verse,
Said son it hurts to see you this way,
The day it dreams through a place feels like a curse
I could've been inside or maybe worse
I could've been inside or maybe worse,
Thank you mum
Chorus - Fiona Erica
We all have mothers who gave us life,
They put in the work to bring us to earth,
Now I'm giving something back,
Doing what is right, for what it's worth, for what it's worth
Super brilliant and poignant penmanship. Elzhi paints revealing and engaging pictures with his vocabulary choices and verbal patterning. This is something highly worthy of your focus and interest. Esoligh
Ferocious penmanship, utter brilliant musicianship. The brother Tom Scott, assembles and crew of geniuses to join him in creating something that looms like a fiery volcano on the musical landscape. Esoligh
Highly therapeutic for the soulful amongst us. This exceptional release from the ones like Blu & Exile, are sounds for sore ears. These type of efforts make it worthwhile to be a music fan in 2020. Esoligh
A deeply moving hip-hop epic structured around voice recordings from the Aussie rapper's family, friends, and therapist. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 1, 2023
