Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yes
There was a time so many moons ago
When they would never consider us equals
Ka po'e ha'ole tried to state the claim
'Aihue land and then change our name
Tried to be little us to pieces
And make us feel like we were worthless
Ive never seen so much resilience despite all the sufferin
Stand up stand up
Let your voices be heard (Kū Kanaka, Kū Kanaka)
Rise up rise up be proud of who you are and stand firm (Kū Kanaka, Kū Kanaka)
All my island people together we are moving up, we forward people and theres nothing that can stop us, together we all rise above it all
Stand firm remember every single thing that you've learned, what our kūpuna taught no money can earn
It last forevah, forevah
...
Let us get banged to the issues at hand and i'll explain to you how it really ends
See while you needed your compass to concor your globe
We navigated with the skies alone
Never take anything for granted
Ka Mahina told us what seed should be planted
Im not saying that we're better than the rest, but we're so damn far from ignorant
Stand up stand up
Let your voices be heard (Kū Kanaka, Kū Kanaka)
Rise up rise up be proud of who you are and stand firm (Kū Kanaka, Kū Kanaka)
All my island people together we are moving up, we forward people and theres nothing that can stop us, together we all rise above it all
Stand firm remember every single thing that you've learned, what our kūpuna taught no money can earn
It Last forevah, forevah
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yes
Dyno - Tell dem
You want to be a like, a warrior
Come and feel the vibe jah messenjah and when we see the sign be jah protectah come me say and I and I, I and I souljah
Eō, Kanaka Māoli Eō! Eō!
Eō mai na Kanaka Māoli Eō!
So come on and...
Stand up stand up
Let your voices be heard (Kū Kanaka, Kū Kanaka)
Rise up rise up be proud of who you are and stand firm (Kū Kanaka, Kū Kanaka)
All my island people together we are moving up, we forward people and theres nothing that can stop us, together we all rise above it all
Stand firm remember every single thing that you've learned, what our kūpuna taught no money can earn
It lasts forever, forevah
End
