He Kanaka (feat. The Vitals 808)

O wākea ke kāne

Noho ia papahānaumoku

Hānau ʻo Hawaiʻi he moku

ʻAʻole au he rasta no hoʻi

He kanaka wale no wau

He kanaka nō Hawaiʻi nei

Ē

According to my name which is Elijah

The one that I give praise to, his name is Jah

Sorry I don't believe in your religion

No offense to you it's just that I'm a Hawaiian

Ever since the day you landed on my island

Many of them passed away and many of them gone

All of them giving the praises to your holy begotten son

My people have to chant and sing "This is my song,"

I say

ʻAʻole au he rasta no hoʻi

He kanaka wale no wau

He kanaka nō Hawaiʻi nei

Ē

Wāhia ka inoa o Kaʻikēnā

Ua welo mai ka ʻike mai na kūpunā

Huli ka lima a i lalo ka lima

Hoʻi i ka ʻāina aʻe mau ka makona

Ho’opiha i ka lua, o ka inaina

I ka ʻāina Hawaiʻi, e ʻai me ka iʻa

Uʻe ka imu ʻai ka pī ka pua’a

Pela nō ko ka Hawaiʻi nohona

Ē...

I never gave my praises up to Jah

Cause the race of which I came from was raised on Hāloa so

Mai ka lā hiki ā i ka lā kau

He Hawaiʻi au mau a mau

I said

ʻAʻole au he rasta no hoʻi

He kanaka wale no wau

He kanaka nō Hawaiʻi nei

Ē

ʻAʻole au he rasta no hoʻi

He kanaka wale no wau

He kanaka nō Hawaiʻi nei

Ē
