I told my boss that I'm sorry
I no can wear this uniform anymore
It's against what I stand for
It ain't about just the money
When I look into my kupuna's eyes
I know what I was born for
I seen da sistah oli Kū'ē Kū'ē
I seen da braddah carry Kū up da mauna
I see nā kumu a nā keiki a nā koa
Nā kia'i on da mauna got my ticket here we go-a
All around the world
Oho
People are standing up to desecration
Some things can't be sold
Oho
We have a right to self-determination
Truth must now be told
Oho
We are an occupied Hawaiian nation
Now we must be bold
Oho
Got to protect for future generations
KŪ KIA'I MAUNA
See you on the Mauna
I wondered what it would look like
To see the Lāhui rising up from the sea
To the top of the Mauna
Rooted in kapu aloha
A kānāwai guided by aloha 'āina, aloha kākou, aloha kekahi i kekahi
Mana wahine oli Kū'ē Kū'ē
The Royal Order of Kamehameha
Wit da kūpuna joining hands on da ala
We would radah 'ai pohaku den surrendah to da dollah
All around the world
Oho
People are standing up to desecration
Some things can't be sold
Oho
We have a right to self-determination
Truth must now be told
Oho
We are an occupied Hawaiian nation
Now we must be bold
Oho
Got to protect for future generations
KŪ KIA'I MAUNA
(Oli)
Mana wahine oli Kū'ē Kū'ē
The Royal Order of Kamehameha
Wit da kūpuna joining hands on da ala
We would radah 'ai pohaku den surrendah to da dollah
All around the world
Oho
People are standing up to desecration
Some things can't be sold
Oho
We have a right to self-determination
Truth must now be told
Oho

Now we must be bold
Oho

KŪ KIA'I MAUNA
See you on the Mauna
See you on the Mauna
See you on the Mauna
