808 808 808 80 |
| [00:21.18] |
808 808 808 80 |
| [00:30.03] |
And I came with an accent, I said, "howzit?" |
| [00:33.33] |
Surrounded by town folk who clowned it |
| [00:35.82] |
Why? 'cause I'm fresh off an island |
| [00:38.13] |
Miles from the 6 with a smile and a childhood |
| [00:40.80] |
Raised from bowels of military housing |
| [00:43.29] |
The place that I grew, mo' slippers than shoes |
| [00:46.29] |
Bunch of fools sitting wi*****n' in school |
| [00:48.30] |
With a principal who never saw no talent |
| [00:51.30] |
Dreamt of a crib like `Iolani Palace |
| [00:53.94] |
Pre-Lili`uokalani legendary status |
| [00:56.55] |
Every hand grabbin' for the sky like Jimmy |
| [00:58.86] |
"Superfly" Snuka and in his prime **** a lime light |
| [01:02.43] |
Gimme sun*****ne and mic and I'm fine |
| [01:05.04] |
Life been defined by nights under skies |
| [01:07.68] |
Next to the line where the sea meet land |
| [01:09.99] |
Got both feet planted in the sand |
| [01:11.94] |
Like damn bra I've been missing all that, so I had to go back to the island like that |
| [01:17.97] |
And now it's flash forward on a track gotta liberate my people |
| [01:21.12] |
Like Haunani-Kay Trask |
| [01:22.80] |
Breathin' a breeze when I ease way back in a jeep |
| [01:25.71] |
With the top and the seats lay flat |
| [01:28.02] |
Yeah I got heat 'cause every time I speak |
| [01:30.48] |
I keep burning like a haole on a beach, why? |
| [01:34.14] |
It's the 808 love |
| [01:35.67] |
Like '88 playing tapes, bass in the trunk |
| [01:39.36] |
It's the 808 kick |
| [01:40.86] |
That *****t's so sick it makes your heartbeat skip |
| [01:43.35] |

I raise hell when I blaze well |
| [01:56.55] |
And we made next door feel sorta like Blaisdell |
| [01:59.85] |
And I came directly from the place |
| [02:01.77] |
Seen a whole lotta homes erased |
| [02:04.02] |
Faced with a ice epidemic so large it'll put global warming on pause |
| [02:08.67] |
Warning all frauds |
| [02:09.87] |
No its not a walk on the beach so |
| [02:11.61] |
Don't come thinking *****t is sweeter than a sugarcane tree |
| [02:15.09] |
'cause when a beat drops bra |
| [02:16.50] |
Don't blame me and now you wanna curse like Interstate-3 |
| [02:20.46] |
News flash jerk! Hawai`i ain't free |
| [02:22.83] |
And I vowed on the day I became an MC |
| [02:25.68] |
Never not say what I made to speak from |
| [02:28.47] |
The same rock Barrack walked and breathed |
| [02:30.69] |
It be the smoke signals from them wowee trees |
| [02:33.33] |
And more In4mation is what we need |
| [02:35.85] |
If you ever came up rocking Swap Meet tees |
| [02:38.55] |
Or you stay havin' red stains under your feet |
| [02:41.10] |
In a spot this hot everybody stay cool |
| [02:44.04] |
Peace to the crew I'm a Light Sleeper too |
| [02:46.68] |
Late night wonder under the moon |
| [02:48.90] |
I got hot shit on a platter for two |
| [02:51.54] |
And yes I'm talking to you miss 808 love |
| [02:54.39] |
The best damn place on the world to wake up!! |
| [02:56.79] |
808 love |
| [03:01.59] |
808 808 808 80 |
| [03:03.27] |
It's the 808 kick |
