_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
[D] Folks, I promise you, the next four minutes [Bb] I will remember for the rest of my life.
_ [C] _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ He _ [C] had _ _ _ [D] a _ privilege of doing this song.
[Bb] It's going to be coming out in the next one or so.
[C] So right now we'd like to call up a brother who's going to do this song with us.
[D] Put your hands together for Mr.
Damon Williams!
_ _ _ _ [Bb] Sing _

_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ [F] This is for Hawaii 78.
We'd like [C] to thank your brother Damon Williams.
Come to the front of the stage right now!
[D] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bb] To see what happened to the land that they were through.
With their smile and [C] what they see.
Hey y'all, when they used to pray.
Fuck, I, when they [D] used to play.
Now they see the signs of prejudice.
Telling them to keep away.
All the fighting that the king has [Bb] done.
This is the reason that now we find that everybody tries to be [C] number one.
Every group's got their own agenda.
They all say that the king [D] is better.
But they don't really see it.
They really see that we all just together.
Tears would come from each [Bb] other's eyes.
Of course we are the artists.
Our hearts would rally when we hear [C] their cries.
They see our future filled and they complain [D] that we're lazy.
But they spent the last days of our lives.
How we'll be if they came back.
[Bb] Fuck, I, when they used to play.
Fuck, I, when the heights are [C] cracked.
They see so little pure Hawaiians left at one and a [D] half.
With their feet in the air,
but stacking up on the ugly and the poor now.
We could tell them there's so many things to blame it on.
But that is who we say we give up.
So make sure we [C] are going to do our part right now.
And make sure that the world will [D] hear.
Voices of my people, say it in pride and sing it loud.
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ [D] We are the names that we have inherited. _
We are the _ [Bb] _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ names that we inherit.
And if you look at the world around you,
If they were around, when they were around.
I saw these highways, I'd [C] be tripping.
Sideways on these blacktop [D] majors.
Tears leaving graces.
Like scars on our faces.
Tell me what's the basis now for killing my [Bb] oasis.
You knew us off for a while.
You wouldn't recognize the abilities of those who are now leading.
[C] _ I see [D] you in your true faces, your true faces.
Wake up and realize that I'm talking true [Bb] faces.
I ain't a racist, but it's a desecrated land that's [C] sacred, cultural, hatred, it's been
built enough, but now I [D] just can't take it.
And I just can't take it.
And so I'm speaking my beat, I'm saying we can even be [Bb] useful, because if we go to war,
I'm going to rise up and die for my [C] people.
I cry for my people, for this message for my [D] people.
For the pastors, for the people, pray for blessings for my people.
I live for my people, I die for my [Bb] people.
I make music for my people to make a difference [C] for my people.
For my people.
_ [D] _ For my people.
For my people.
[Bb] For my people.
For my people.
For my people.
[C] For my people.
For my people.
For [D] my people.
For my people. _
For my people.
_ [Bb] _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ [A] _ [D] _ _
For my people.
I smell [Bb] the roses, too much politics [G] and political poses.
[C] No need for more and more, no need for climate [D] and forests.
Our people's families are already in war.
Can you picture this?
Can you picture the people before [Bb] us?
Can you picture this?
Living like this, living this horror.
[C] It's got to get away, back to the land of rich forests.
[D] Let me hear you say, come on, give your help in this darkness.
We've got to live long and strong.
[Bb] As we Hawaiian men, _ [C] we've got to know what rights we're [D] from.
So we can do the best that we can.
Live long and strong.
As [Bb] we Hawaiian men, in our [C] hands.
We've got to know _ _ [D] what rights we're from.
So we can do the best that we can.
How _ would they feel?
[C] Would they smile, be content?
[D] Or would they cry _ _ for the gods, cry for the people?
[Bb] Cry for this land that was taken [C] away.
And in the end you'll find.
Everybody, [D] ua mau, here we go.
[Bb] Ua mau, [D] _ [Bb] e ho'o kai la.
Where my Hawaiian's at?
[C] Kikapuolo.
_ [A] Where my proud [D] Hawaiian's at?
Everybody sing!
Ua mau. _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
Keep it going, keep it going.
_ I pledge allegiance to the flag [Bb] of the Hawaiian nation of Hawaii.
_ [C] To the people for which it stands.
[D] Keep it going.
One nation, _ one Hawaiian nation.
I la lo'o ke a [Bb] kua.
_ With unity [C] and justice for all [D] people.
Put your hands together for our flag bearer.
Come on, come _ _ [Bb] on.
_ [C] David Williams!
Mahalo! _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ Like I said, folks.
[D] _ _ _ _
_ He's coming out. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Folks, like I said, I'm going to remember that
