Providing the Roots (feat. Poi Beaul & Keith Batlin)

Keiki no ka lepo He kama no ka ʻāina,

Eia ʻo Hāloa, ʻo wau ke kaikaina,,

Mai mai e ʻai, eia la he kono

Ola ka ʻohana i ka mole o ke kalo

This a general music

The Island chants

Providing the roots

The Island chants

The Island chants

Providing the roots

Dedication it takes a long long time to get where you going

Its just like a grape aged into wine

Only a taste but still it takes a long time

Just like a tune straight out the mind

The Island chants

Providing the roots

Green pastures flow endless love for me island

Conserving the skies cause the stars are blooming

Clear clam and cool it soothes my soul my soul

While we drifting along this restless afternoon

The Island chants

The Island chants

Providing the roots

The Island chants

The Island chants

Providing the roots

Clean Pure water falls from the sky

Down from the mountain to I and I

Watering the seeds we plant deep in the ground

To feed all jah people when harvest time come around

We live with aloha in this land by the sea

And spread it to the world internationally

Roots and culture we a spread musically

Straight out the islands of Hawaii

We coming straight from the heart and that's how we're taught

Make life so sweet

And we all play the part right from the start

Make the mission complete

Island chant we don't rave we don't rant

Better you keep silent

When you speak too much no that silence a clutch

So things no get violent

Well the roots always providing

It's never gas lighting

Rawness is natural beauty

South winds can be so soothing

And when it's variable

And the mountain show

How clear can be

And the Island want come chant you see

Providing the Roots for you and me

He keiki no ka lepo,He kama no ka ʻāina,

Eia ʻo Hāloa, ʻo wau ke kaikaina,

Huli na lima i lalo, mahi i ke kalo,

Hume i ka malo, ʻo ia nō kuʻu kaila,

Mai ke kai a i ke kualono

Noho nō a kūʻonoʻono

Mai mai e ʻai, eia la he kono

Ola ka ʻohana i ka mole o ke kalo
