The People
We ask you to remember
The native culture of this land
If we lose, you lose
Give us a chance to the right thing
That we've been trained all our lives
We're not a host culture
We are the people of this land
And so are you
I beg you
Let us change things in Hawaii
So that all of Hawaii in the world
Can learn from us
Let us do the right thing
Honor the people of this land
Hmm
Hmm
I can see it now
I can see it now
I can see it now
Yeah
If you were me then you would see
But you're not me so you don't believe
It's so hard for the people
It's so hard for the people
We fight we stand we do what we can
We just live our life we don't give a damn
It's so hard for the people
It's so hard for the people
Kanaka man I am just look at how I stand
Protect the land passed down
Always hold your ground
It's so hard for the people (It's so hard for the people)
We raise our keiki right we teach them wrong from right
Hawaii we stay strong we must reunite
Yeah
Cuz you never know, you never know
Till you're all alone, you're all alone
Nowhere else to go, else to go
Yeah
If you were me then you would see
But you're not me so you don't believe
It's so hard for the people
It's so hard for the people
We fight we stand we do what we can
We just live our life we don't give a damn
It's so hard for the people
It's so hard for the people
It's time to realize when you just have to stand
Cuz the truth's been told and they still don't understand
These roots were grown throughout this hawaiian land
And you know that we do what we can
You know sometimes it's hard
And we've been broken apart (Broken apart)
We should've took charge
Right from the star (Right from the start)
Now look at us now standing our ground
Defending our crown
Yeah
If you were me then you would see
But you're not me so you don't believe
It's so hard for the people
It's so hard for the people
We fight we stand we do what we can
We just live our life we don't give a damn
It's so hard for the people
It's so hard for the people
We fight we stand we do what we can
We just live our life we don't give a damn
It's so hard for the people
It's so hard for the people
So hard, so hard, so hard
If you were me then you would see
But you're not me so you don't believe
You'll never know, you'll never know
Yeah
The native culture of this land
If we lose, you lose
Give us a chance to the right thing
That we've been trained all our lives
We're not a host culture

But you're not me so you don't believe
You'll never know, you'll never know
Yeah
