Perfarmer

Tell me could you look away, look away from a dirty man Turn the man away cause the way he wears a dirty hand But the dirt on his hand is from the land that they took away They took away. He doesn't understand Blood quantum. They want him to stay up in the school To love flaunting paperwork making up who is who Uh-oh where's the ʻōʻō they're taking away the tools Now a quarter koko is less than a quarter tank of fuel But still he keeps on Perfarming Chanting and dancing up in the garden with ōʻō Seeds planting words from his song (yeah) But this is the life of a Perfarmer But should he walk away, walk away from his neighborhood Follow his naʻau, but it's not the way they say he should Fallow is the ground below the sole where he bares his foot Hoʻi i ka loʻi or just clock in where the pay is good So where were you during the storm Not doing is doing the harm Stand firm on your platform No reason you can't Perfarm So still he keeps on Perfarming Chanting and dancing up in the garden with ōʻō Seeds planting words from his song (yeah) But this is the life of a Perfarmer E Kūikeolowalu, e nalowale kānaka i ke kalo a kāua E Kūikeolowalu, e nalowale kānaka Hū Right foot stepping, standing on the front line Left foot stepping, feeding from the mālaʻai Left hands a weapon, we killing um. He akamai Right hand's a blessing. Wāhi ka uka, wāhi ke kai Right foot stepping, standing on the front line Left foot stepping, feeding from the mālaʻai Left hands a weapon, we killing um with akamai Right hand's a blessing. Wāhi ka uka, wāhi ke kai But still we keep on Perfarming We chanting and dancing up in the garden with ōʻō Seeds planting words from this song (yeah) Well this is the life of a Perfarmer ʻEā ʻEā ʻEā
