Puna's Paradise
As I walk through the valley
Of Waipio I wept
I realize in time
The angry natives is what is left
And they've been taxing and cashing so long
They even dare to take a Hawaiians home
But they don't want no crazy
Kanaka Maoli at they door
But we will come a' knocking thats fasho
I really hate to trip so I take a toke
As they croak see myself
Through the Pakalolo smoke
No hope for my enemies
Begging, please, Lord, refrain me
Before I let this trigger squeeze
As the smoke clears problems disappear
But I still keep a cure for the tears fool
We've been spending most our lives
Living in Hawaii's Paradise
We've been spending most our lives
Living in Puna's paradise
We've been spending most our lives
Living in Hawaii's Paradise
We've been spending most our lives
Living in Puna Boy paradise
Look at the calculations, they got us slaving
We can't live a normal life
We was raised from Kanaks
They could never take down the Hawaii team
No more television watching
It ain't what it seems
We some educated Kanakas
The Aina on my mind
Got the Kalo in my hand and a gleam in my eye
We some moked out islanders
Neck breaking bangahs
And the Kanakas is down
So don't arouse our anger fool
Puna ain't nothing but a heart beat away
From getting put up on the map uh
What can I say
They take our land now
Just like they took it before
The way things is going I don't know
Tell me, why are we
So blind to see
That the ones we hurt
Are you and me
We've been spending most our lives
Living in Hawaii's Paradise
We've been spending most our lives
Living in Puna's paradise
We've been spending most our lives
Living in Hawaii's Paradise
We've been spending most our lives
Living in Puna Boy paradise
Power is the Mana
Mana is the power
Keiki is the focus
But don't take me as a coward
Power is the Mana
Mana is the power
Keiki is the focus
But don't take me as a coward
I love you Boboy
Of Waipio I wept
I realize in time
The angry natives is what is left
And they've been taxing and cashing so long
They even dare to take a Hawaiians home
But they don't want no crazy
Kanaka Maoli at they door
But we will come a' knocking thats fasho
I really hate to trip so I take a toke
As they croak see myself
Through the Pakalolo smoke
No hope for my enemies
Begging, please, Lord, refrain me
Before I let this trigger squeeze
As the smoke clears problems disappear
But I still keep a cure for the tears fool
We've been spending most our lives
Living in Hawaii's Paradise
We've been spending most our lives
Living in Puna's paradise
We've been spending most our lives
Living in Hawaii's Paradise
We've been spending most our lives
Living in Puna Boy paradise
Look at the calculations, they got us slaving

We've been spending most our lives
Living in Puna Boy paradise

But don't take me as a coward
