Lau Ka ʻie

Yeah cuz we come from the best of the best
Descendants of the survivors
Distinguished and noble we must do better, try to reach higher
Their struggles, our strength, the coals of our fire
Our words like daggers meant to inspire

Lau ka 'ie pā hiē pā hiē
E paio mai kou pahoa mai luna nei
Lau ka 'ie pā hiē, pā hiē
Lau ka 'ie pā hie
Lau ka 'ie pā hiē, pā hiē
Ua lele nā hulu o ta mahi'ole
Lau ka 'ie pā hiē pā hiē
I lalo ka mana'o i ia wahi nei

Get ready to rumble throw down and scrap
When our lives on the line there's no surrender or tap
Each vine of corruption masked in seduction
Stabbing all functions total destruction
Always moving forward and we never holding back
A well-sharpened small axe big tree-chopping lumberjack
Check your facts, attitude, lips, military
Resistance in these islands regular no worry

Lau ka 'ie pā hiē pā hiē
E paio mai kou pahoa mai luna nei
Lau ka 'ie pā hiē, pā hiē
Lau ka 'ie pā hie
Lau ka 'ie pā hiē, pā hiē
Ua lele nā hulu o ta mahi'ole
Lau ka 'ie pā hiē pā hiē
I lalo ka mana'o i ia wahi nei

Served under many captains sailed the seven seas
You gotta know how to follow to know how to lead
Ua mau ke ea o ka 'āina i ka pono motto,creed
Māmalahoe you can take but only what you need
As long as it's not for the need to feed your greed
No one will stop, harass, impose, or impede
Plant cultivate, stimulate, nurture the seeds
Saving the planet saving the people is guaranteed

Lau ka 'ie pā hiē pā hiē
E paio mai kou pahoa mai luna nei
Lau ka 'ie pā hiē, pā hiē
Lau ka 'ie pā hie
Lau ka 'ie pā hiē, pā hiē
Ua lele nā hulu o ta mahi'ole
Lau ka 'ie pā hiē pā hiē
I lalo ka mana'o i ia wahi nei

Lau ka 'ie pā hiē pā hiē
E paio mai kou pahoa mai luna nei
Lau ka 'ie pā hiē, pā hiē
Lau ka 'ie pā hie
Lau ka 'ie pā hiē, pā hiē
Ua lele nā hulu o ta mahi'ole
Lau ka 'ie pā hiē pā hiē
I lalo ka mana'o i ia wahi nei
I ia wahi nei
How long
I ia wahi nei
We going let them keep doing this
I ia wahi nei
To everything we love?
