Puna's Paradise Lyrics

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
