A hui hou, a hui hou
You gotta go
A hui hou, a hui hou
Cause you don't know
A hui hou, a hui hou, Mālama pono
A hui hou, a hui hou
You gotta go
Give'em back, get'em back, take'em back but slow, Why? We gotta know
Do we tell our kingdom a hui hou
Or do we give rebellion a hana hou
From the island Hawaiian shining
Expertly rhyming in perfect timing
Aloha 'āina warrior steady climbing
Kū Kia'i mauna front lining
Kapu aloha smilin', grindin'
Cause their grip on us has started slidin'
Ho, Regulators mount up cause we riding
I need faces, aces, tigers, and lions
Gonna make a change try to rearrange
100 plus years of brainwash and blood stains
And we'll always remain we gotta take the reigns
Cause after this nothing will be the same
We gotta regain our 'āina, mountains, valleys, winds
Rivers, and plains, animals, reefs, plants, rocks, and rain
But most of all hemo their chains off our brains
Give'em back, get'em back, take'em back but slow
Why? We gotta know
Do we tell our kingdom a hui hou
Or do we give rebellion a hana hou
Give'em back, get'em back, take'em back but slow
Why? Who knows?
Maybe this time around, peaceful
Holding hands, screaming to the top of our lungs
Hūlō!
A hui hou, a hui hou
You gotta go
A hui hou, a hui hou
Cause you don't know
A hui hou, a hui hou, Mālama pono
A hui hou, a hui hou
You gotta go
My imagination makes a proclamation
This illegal occupation Americanization
An assimilation into corporations
Frustration, manipulation
The reservations, our destination
An obligation for our nation, pshhhh!
Ho you donkey's judgemental
Remember over here cuzzin' you is one rental
So be gentle and no get mental
My sentimental might turn resentful
Then revengeful
Going controversial
Maybe detrimental
Possibly monumental
A hui hou, a hui hou
You gotta go
A hui hou, a hui hou
Cause you don't know
A hui hou, a hui hou, Mālama pono
A hui hou, a hui hou
You gotta go
Give'em back, get'em back, take'em back but slow
Why? We gotta know
Do we tell our kingdom a hui hou
Or do we give rebellion a hana hou
Give'em back, get'em back, take'em back but slow
Why? Who knows?
Maybe this time around, peaceful
Holding hands, screaming to the top of our lungs
Hūlō!
You believe that, cuz
Babylon went let us go!
Ho, you gotta go
