Rodeo daze, oh how we played
In the dust, in the rain
Chasing the fame, part of the game
Papa said boy make'em remember your name
No ka heke means better than the best
Roping wild cows down the mountains
Was the test
Naki your rope tie'em to your saddle
Stay cool cowboy don't get rattled
Just to see if we could handle
Start the fire in us, light the candle
Stay off the ground, don't get trampled
When you rope do it clean and mean
No need for scandal
Number one rule we learned
Was have good attitude
Always be respectful
Show āina and elder's gratitude
Get out of line, act punk rude
Pops would poomp in da head
Change the latitude
Rodeo daze, oh how we played
In the dust, in the rain
Chasing the fame, part of the game
Papa said boy make'em remember your name
Hanohano! Paniolo Prince
Jedi knight, Master Sunshine
Hanohano! Paniolo Prince
Rocking the mic and the beats just rip
Hanohano, Paniolo Prince
Jedi knight, Master Sunshine
Hanohano, Paniolo Prince
Telling you straight how we love and live
On your mark, ready, set, outside
Open the gate
I'm coming, ropes blazing leaning on fate
I couldn't wait, destiny was our date
Against all of their odds
Hawaiians move, checkmate
Gave'em a nod, outta da box real hard
The Paniolo Prince and my cousin big Brad(a)
It took 5 seconds, we change the game
Better than all the rest
Pronounce Hawaiian names
Everything happened all in smooth motion
Coming out flowing moving like the ocean
That's when it happened
My papa had some action
Steer slowed down
Horns I was grabbing
Took the corner, dally, poke spur
Looked back
Before I knew it Brada Kaiama had me snapped
Face to face, done, flag down it's a rap
5.82 world record under six seconds flat
What a slap in all those Haole cowboy maps
Hawaiian Paniolo was on full attack
Rattat tat tat come back
In Wyoming where Ikua Purdy
Was crowned world champ
Rodeo daze, oh how we played
In the dust, in the rain
Chasing the fame, part of the game
No worry papa, they'll remember my name
Hanohano! Paniolo Prince
Jedi knight, Master Sunshine
Hanohano! Paniolo Prince
Rocking the mic and the beats just rip
Hanohano, Paniolo Prince
Jedi knight, Master Sunshine
Hanohano, Paniolo Prince
Telling you straight how we love and live
