[00:00.00] 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]Like this
[01:44.58]It's the 808 love
[01:46.17]Like '88 playing tapes, bass in the trunk

[01:51.39]That *****t's so sick it makes your heartbeat skip
[01:53.88]Like this
[01:54.51]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
