Ea Songtext
von Sudden Rush

To all my people tell me what you want
Ea!
Hawaiians tell me what you need
Ea!
Trying to take what the kanaka maoli got
Ea!
Just to satisfy the government′s greed
'A′ole!
Hawaiians tell me what you want
Ea!
Kanaka maoli tell me what you need
Ea!
We must never forget what our kupuna taught
Ea even if I have to bleed


The educator
Mana'o deeper than a crater
You should've known by now that I′d be Back sooner or later
With even greater mana
You know they didn′t wanna ever go Down
While they see us rising like an elevator
But it's time for the indigenous up-rise
I see the fire burning in the children′s eyes
Another freeway
Another heiau dies
It's time to make the government choke on their lies
The term Hawaiian Homes is A joke to me
Cuz every piece of land is Hawaiian homes to me
But in order to be a Resident
Your blood must be 50 percent
Whoever thought of that law is an idiot to me
So we′re living on the beach and you call us squatters
Cuz we're living off our own Land
Fishing from our own waters
I promise
Our fight will never be over
Just try and run us over with your damn bulldozer
I rap for my people
I cry for my people
I live for my people
I′ll die for my people
What you see is what
You get take me as I am
And I 'ain't never had an uncle named Sam

To all my people tell me what you want
Ea!
Hawaiians tell me what you need
Ea!
Trying to take what the kanaka maoli got
Ea!
Just to satisfy the government′s greed
′A'ole!
Hawaiians tell me what you want
Ea!
Kanaka maoli tell me what you need
Ea!
We must never forget what our kupuna taught
Ea even if I have to bleed


Yo they think it′s a battle zone
But they're damn sure right
Cuz it′s yo
Also my home
And I'm prepared to fight
I′m reminiscing about the past and the Present
Obviously the other color didn't listen
So let me break it down like division And fractions
It's time to take position
And counter they′re actions
Cuz if they′re Doing this then we be doing that
But if they doing that then we be doing this
Don't get my people pissed
Cuz it turns real radical
′Ain't nothing like a rush Rapping in front of the capitol
Supporting sovereignty
We′re all the same kind
Ready or not
Believe me they're gonna try and cross that line
But it better not be Mine
Or in that fact of any kind
Ea!
I′m-a try and stand up for what's mine
I write another rhyme or whatever it takes
To accomplish all these dreams that's was made Up in the mix. Ea

To all my people tell me what you want
Ea!
Hawaiians tell me what you need
Ea!
Trying to take what the kanaka maoli got
Ea!
Just to satisfy the government′s greed
′A'ole!
Hawaiians tell me what you want
Ea!
Kanaka maoli tell me what you need
Ea!
We must never forget what our kupuna taught
Ea even if I have to bleed

It′s that Hawaiian lyricist
Pissed off and serious
Warriors!
Stepping Through the mist
Tell me are you feeling this
It's Dynomite and I′m ready to ride
Despise the crooked man
So I sever my ties
'Ain′t no strings attached
Hell no I keep It mellow while you're trippin'
Pulling the strings like you Gepetto
Mr. Sam you the Man
Acting like you give a damn
I ignite and fight for my homeland
Buwa-ah
I′m Pulling weight in my wa′a
Me and Paka rockin' with this tune in my ka′a
That Kanaka Clark Kent with styles that's bent
Let me disperse this verse for Mr. President
I represent
So tell me where the justice went
Your lack of Compensation is insufficient
Can′t run from the past
Can't hide from the truth
And I Still ′ain't wearing no soldier boots

To all my people tell me what you want
Ea!
Hawaiians tell me what you need
Ea!
Trying to take what the kanaka maoli got
Ea!
Just to satisfy the government's greed
′A′ole!
Hawaiians tell me what you want
Ea!
Kanaka maoli tell me what you need
Ea!
We must never forget what our kupuna taught
Ea even if I have to bleed
