(You know the time, you know the time - it's time for Nesian 101)
You're never on time
And music’s on all day
And you be growing them rude-ngati dreads
White on white sneaks and baggy jeans
Got that greenstone around your neck
I came from the 183
So I know a little bit about fresh bee
Yes we, keep rep’n and rock’n that fresh steez
Jeans cut with socks and jandals
Aloha shirts be the formal dress standard
Spot the poly’s from a mile away
And you know they're coming when you hear this play
Follow the leader.... leader.... leader
Follow the leader x 2
You’re so fresh so I want to know if you're down
'cause if you are then let that hair down baby
I wanna know
Got 2 fried eggs on that $1 bread
Street fighter 2 where my money's spent
Brothers roll past, speakers on full blast
Singing “Korero Maori e”
You're never on time
And music’s on all day
And you be growing them rude-ngati dreads
White on white sneaks and baggy jeans
Got that greenstone around your neck
What you know about F.O.B
Taro, Manioke & Lu Sipi
Ya’ll know what I'm talking bout the Sunday Feeds
2 minute noodles & that fried Corned Beef
for the rest of the week, that’s all there is
go to school and scab off the rest of the kids
save that bus money home for that $1 chips
if you don’t walk it off it goes straight to the hips..
I never run my day by time,
I run my time by the change of sky,
I run my time like my appetite,
Coke and a pie’s what we call fine dine,
SURRY CRES to SANDRINGHAM,
CALIFOR-NI-A down to JAPAN,
It’s the real McCoy making all that noise,
More FOB than FALL OUT BOY….
You're never on time
And music’s on all day
And you be growing them rude-ngati dreads
White on white sneaks and baggy jeans
Got that greenstone around your neck
So what we gon' do right here, is we gon' school ya on what we call, the ways of the fresh; Nesian 101 if ya will. So if ya feelin' what we sayin', let me know, join in
Bounce on that 2 & 4, don’t clap on that 1 & 3..
You have your Cappuccino, we on that Cuppa Tea..
Be rude to turn it down, so take it if its free..
Just keep it FRESH, no matter where you be.. X2
(all the ladies in the place put ya hands up, put ya hands up, put ya hands up, put 'em up, put 'em up, let's go)
You’re so fresh but I want to know if you down
'cause if you are then let your hair down baby
I want to know
You're never on time
And music’s on all day
And you be growing them rude-ngati dreads
White on white sneaks and baggy jeans
Got that greenstone around your neck X2
(sing it with me now)
Follow the leader.... leader.... leader
Follow the leader x 2
