This song released 2007 on Mana's 2nd CD, "I BE HAWAIIAN"What do we want? (justice)What do we need? (imua) In this Hawaiian Revolution.What do we want? (freedom)What do we need? (mana) In this Hawaiian Revolution.Sometimes they kick and they push I down, so the story goes.One day the slave tell the capturer, let jah people go.We’ve had enough of jah his-story, the story must be told.So raise your flag up for sovereignty, this time the world will know.What we need, what we need, what we need, For all my people in the Hawaiian Nation.Its about time for resolution, something to take away our confusion.What we need, what we need, what we need, For all my people in the Hawaiian Nation.We’ve had enough of your negotiations, this one’s for all of the Polynesians.For so long we be ignorant, of what is going on,But now its time for us to take a stand, time for us be strong.The first step is to educate, all the youth today,So raise your flag up for sovereignty, and to you I say….What we need, what we need, what we need, For all my people in the Hawaiian Nation.Its about time for resolution, something to take away our confusion.What we need, what we need, what we need, For all my people in the Hawaiian Nation.We’ve had enough of your negotiations, this one’s for all of the Polynesians.You say you want a revolution, but all we hear is noise pollution.We’ve come to our own conclusion, look in yourself to find your own solution.You got to stomp your feet, you need to wave your hand,And then you pump your fist, if you wanna free the land.And then you march the capital, then you hold your signsAnd when it’s said and done, we’ll raise our flag so high.You say you want a revolution, but you rather watch it on the television,Not willing to fight for retribution, so you live with their crooked constitution.What we need, what we need, what we need, For all my people in the Hawaiian Nation.Its about time for resolution, something to take away our confusion.What we need, what we need, what we need, For all my people in the Hawaiian Nation.We’ve had enough of your negotiations, this one’s for all of the Polynesians.
