(Ten hut)
(About face)
(At ease)
(Ten hut) attention alert a faction
(About face) Kanaka fyah gaining traction
(At ease) listen carefully but beware
'Cause the under ground is here
Street sweeper, taking on the streets by surprise
Came from the struggle, only the strong will survive
One life, said we've been giving use it wisely
Pay my respects to the ones that came before me
My day ones that stayed down
When we came from the bottom
Fought my own, I stay blessed
Stay away from destruction
Been through broken times when I was down up on my knees
Only at my lowest point, I learn to be at ease
Never astray from my roots again, 'gain, 'gain, 'gain
With folded hands I believe again, 'gain, 'gain, 'gain
Never astray from my roots again, 'gain, 'gain, 'gain

Attention listen up from what we came from
Never had it all but always learn to stay strong (hawaiian)
Always loyal to this kingdom
It's been a long battle but Kanaka lives on (uh, huh)
To Keakua for this life and this breath
We are blessed none the less, we gotta keep on living
Away from all distractions, away from all temptations
I know that Jah will guide the way (woo!)
So get up, and stand up and rep where you're from
We are the underground sensation
No your roots and stay true, love your ohana
Build your roots with a strong foundation

Hear this
Straight from the top of the dome, I said my music is my home (wow)
And when I'm feeling up all alone, said she will never leave me lonely
I'll lose my peace if I keep letting my music sleep so let's awake
Time to rise, your system can control me
From time to time I often think how so much has changed
In this place on our brains
Set it's time to rearrange
Living in this concrete jungle (concrete jungle)
Said I won't let you take it away
Said Nana ike kumu

This for the big steppers (boom), go getters (du-du-du)
Heavy hitters and all my kupunas who's not with us (woo)
A lot has changed since my kupunas walk these lands (yeah)
A lot has changed since the white man touch these sands (yeah)
I'm tired of seeing my people fighting and crying in these rallies
For what is rightfully theirs, their homes down in these valleys
What gets me sick is when I see all of them city lights
Just know in a few hundred years ago, there was none in sight
You think we need to be dependent on your currency
The land provides everything from my family
I said it once and I swear to God I, say it again
Said what you did to us is what you did to the Indians
