lyrics

Put your hands up! Nah, put your hands down/
Put em in the ground, Mix it with the brown/
Its that new sound, even though its age-old/
Fresher than some paʻi ʻai, even if we day ‘ol/

Yo, put your hands up! Nah, put your hands down/
Put em in the ground, Mix it with the brown/
Its that new sound, even though its age-old/
Fresher than some paʻi ʻai, even if we day ‘ol/ oh...

Huli!…huli!…huli…Kā-huli!
Huli!…huli!…huli…Kā-
Huli ka lima i lalo… Ola!

Its the real revolution/independent movement/
Restore, regenerate, & get rid of this pollution/
collusion, intrusion, and all the dissolution/
Theres no I(ʻai) without ʻāina; its all just an illusion/
Just enough fight, with just enough love/
Aint no lover or no fighter cuz we all of the above/
Box my way out of these cages that they put us in with no gloves/
Its Laulima - now we doing it because/
We are not desirous, of the hills of money/
We just want the rocks that have been taken from it/
Stand up and fight that which holds you at bottom/
Stand for the land so that it may still blossom/
“Aʻole minamina, i ka puʻu kālā/
Ua lawa mākou i ka pōhā/"
Kū i ka pono a hoʻomohala/
Kū i ka hewa ka mea e pāpā/”
Now, I know that you’re thinking that you might not understand/
Basically, we trying to get back our land, bruh/
I know that you’re thinking that you might not understand/
But Im just trying to tell you what to do with your hands!

Huli ka lima! A, huli i lalo/
Kohu kapa malo, huki i ke kalo/
Its that new motto, eia kā, he kāhiko/
Kāmakamaka hou, (ka) ʻai a ka ʻoiaʻiʻo!

Huli!…huli!…huli…Kā-huli!
Huli!…huli!…huli…Kā-
Huli ka lima i lalo… Ola!

ʻO #KeKipiKalo ke au kūʻokoʻa/
Huliāmahi, hoʻi hou, a hoʻōla/
Hoʻopau haumia mai (ke) kai ā i ka lewa/
ʻAʻohe ʻāina, (ʻa)ʻohe ʻai; mai kuhi hewa!/
Lawa no ka ʻino, e paio wale no ka pono/
E paipai/paepae - pālua hoʻi ka ʻono/
Puka mai ka pahuhopu (i) hoʻopaʻahao ʻia/
Lōkahi ke aloha, pēlā nō e laulima/
“Aʻole minamina, i ka puʻu kālā/
Ua lawa mākou i ka pōhā/"
Kū i ka pono a hoʻomohala/
Kū i ka hewa ka mea e pāpā/
“Aʻole minamina, i ka puʻu kālā/
Ua lawa mākou i ka pōhā/"
Kū i ka pono a hoʻomohala/ me say
Kū i ka hewa ka mea e pāpā/
ʻIke ʻia ʻaʻole paha i moakāka/
Eia kā - hoʻihoʻi hou a laila hoʻomaka/
A, ʻike ʻia ʻaʻole paha i moakāka/
Huli ka lima, pēlā nō e hoʻolaha!


Put your hands up! Nah, put your hands down/
