Dark Echoes

Yuh Yuh Yeah yuh Okay You Know Yuh It's how it go How it go Sounding like a motherfuckin' echo It's how it go How it go It's how it go How it go Yeah Yeah Yuh Our past is always there I know it's hard to let go Ricocheting in your mind like a dark echo Memories too clear like glacier water from snow As if it happened yesterday even if it was long ago Hold my lyrics true to me Every time that I speak I just wanna keep it real Like immortal technique Genuine feel All these other rappers are cheap Every word they say so shallow and never that deep See me I come from the dark depths of the sea Even that cold Mariana ain't got shit on me I'm a storyteller dwelling with prehistoric things Sharing thoughts with meglodons that you thought were extinct Take a moment strategize like I sit by a king Planning your demise let Kekūhaupi'o advise Then I rise to the surface with purpose before you blink And send a spear through your ship and drown your whole damn fleet Memories a part of me like energy that never leaves Cold storage USB currently attached to me Hovering over my shoulder like a giant entity Guiding me protecting me whispering sweet melodies Remember the time you got our genealogy tracked And hung the whole family tree up like it was a map I drew a portrait of my grandpa I'll never forget You threw that shit away after that night I was possessed Looking you right in the eyes emitting a look of death Waking up to kiais surprised by my direct Intention on disrespect with intent to destroy Anything that walked or stepped out from this void The void that separates us from the spiritual plane Where energies visit me cuz of my koko and name That night it wasn't me and I wasn't Kaikoa I was taken over by one of my ancestral soldiers Our past is always there I know its hard to let go Ricocheting in your mind like a dark echo Memories too clear Like glacier water from snow As if it happened yesterday Even if it was long ago Thats life though Isn't it a trip to explain I refrain from feeling anger that runs in my veins Instead I'll harness it and use it like I am a warrior Casting spells through my music like a pagan sorcerer Tried to kill me off but you never knew I'm immortal Death is just a loss of flesh so let me travel through portals As I abort this planet leaving you stranded here with the mortals I'm cutting holes in the universe with a sword like I'm Zorro You know I got that rhythm to disrupt an algorithm My flow Carries my echo Beyond our solar system My soul too kahiko What you know about me though Too ikaika with my feet planted on my 'āina bro And I know I'm far from home But I'll get back when I can Maybe there's a win for a native kid in the end Finding zen through my pen I evolve like I'm next gen Dropping lyrical sap every time that I tap in Tap in Tap in Echoes Dark echoes
