about

When I was a baby boy I used to call natives, “HIYA HIYAS”. My foster mom called my her hiya hiya baby boy

lyrics

Waking up in another goddamn hotel
I’m sorry my friends, I don’t really feel like myself

You see, all of my life I’ve been living with a gun in hand. I’ve got a big heart waiting for the truth,
Don’t you understand?

HIYA HIYA BABY BOY
WHY DONT YOU SING SO SWEET
I CAN HEAR THE LOVE IN YOUR VOICE x2

I’ve seen a lot things
That some are never gonna see
I used to sleep inside a cell, and now I live a life of luxury

I know my mom’s proud
It isn’t hard to see
I’m gonna grind so I can buy you a house
Where you can you live rent-free

I bet you never heard of a rezkid dream
I see my natives rising up to the top
and damn it’s so lovely.

Man, it’s been awhile since I seen
the family. I hold my relatives close to my heart,
my heart will always sing

HIYA HIYA BABY BOY
WHY DONT YOU SING SO SWEET
I CAN HEAR THE LOVE IN YOUR VOICE x2

I’ve seen a lot things
That some are never gonna see
I used to sleep inside a cell, now I live a life of luxury

I know my mom’s proud
It isn’t hard to see
I’m gonna grind so I can buy you a house
Where you can you live rent-free

HIYA HIYA BABY BOY
WHY DONT YOU SING SO SWEET
I CAN HEAR THE LOVE IN YOUR VOICE x2

HIYA HIYA BABY GIRL
WHY DONT YOU SING SO SWEET
DON’T YOU KNOW YOU’LL ALWAYS BE MY WORLD x2
