808 808 808 80 |
|
808 808 808 80 |
|
And I came with an accent, I said, "howzit?" |
|
Surrounded by town folk who clowned it |
|
Why? 'cause I'm fresh off an island |
|
Miles from the 6 with a smile and a childhood |
|
Raised from bowels of military housing |
|
The place that I grew, mo' slippers than shoes |
|
Bunch of fools sitting wi*****n' in school |
|
With a principal who never saw no talent |
|
Dreamt of a crib like `Iolani Palace |
|
Pre-Lili`uokalani legendary status |
|
Every hand grabbin' for the sky like Jimmy |
|
"Superfly" Snuka and in his prime **** a lime light |
|
Gimme sun*****ne and mic and I'm fine |
|
Life been defined by nights under skies |
|
Next to the line where the sea meet land |
|
Got both feet planted in the sand |
|
Like damn bra I've been missing all that, so I had to go back to the island like that |
|
And now it's flash forward on a track gotta liberate my people |
|
Like Haunani-Kay Trask |
|
Breathin' a breeze when I ease way back in a jeep |
|
With the top and the seats lay flat |
|
Yeah I got heat 'cause every time I speak |
|
I keep burning like a haole on a beach, why? |
|
It's the 808 love |
|
Like '88 playing tapes, bass in the trunk |
|
It's the 808 kick |
|
That *****t's so sick it makes your heartbeat skip |
|
Like this |
|
It's the 808 love |
|
Like '88 playing tapes, bass in the trunk |
|
It's the 808 kick |
|
That *****t's so sick it makes your heartbeat skip |
|
Like this |
|
I raise hell when I blaze well |
|
And we made next door feel sorta like Blaisdell |
|
And I came directly from the place |
|
Seen a whole lotta homes erased |
|
Faced with a ice epidemic so large it'll put global warming on pause |
|
Warning all frauds |
|
No its not a walk on the beach so |
|
Don't come thinking *****t is sweeter than a sugarcane tree |
|
'cause when a beat drops bra |
|
Don't blame me and now you wanna curse like Interstate-3 |
|
News flash jerk! Hawai`i ain't free |
|
And I vowed on the day I became an MC |
|
Never not say what I made to speak from |
|
The same rock Barrack walked and breathed |
|
It be the smoke signals from them wowee trees |
|
And more In4mation is what we need |
|
If you ever came up rocking Swap Meet tees |
|
Or you stay havin' red stains under your feet |
|
In a spot this hot everybody stay cool |
|
Peace to the crew I'm a Light Sleeper too |
|
Late night wonder under the moon |
|
I got hot sex on a platter for two |
|
And yes I'm talking to you miss 808 love |
|
The best damn place on the world to wake up!! |
|
808 love |
|
808 808 808 80 |
|
It's the 808 kick |
|
That *****t's so sick it makes your heartbeat skip |
