Blue Scholars, “HI-808 (Milkbag Rainbow Remix)”

And i came with an accent, i said, “howzit?”
surrounded by town folk who clowned it (why?)
cuz im fresh off an island
miles from a 6 with a smile and a childhood
raised from bowels of military housing
the place that i grew, more slippers than shoes
bunch of fools sitting wishin’ in school with a principal who
never saw no talent
dreamt of a crib like Iolani palace
Pre-Liliuokalani legendary status
every hand grabin for the sky like Jimmy
Superfly Snuka and his pride fuck a lie like
gimme sunshine and mic and im fine
life been defined by nights and the skies
next to the live and see me land got both
feet planted in the sand like, damn bruh
ive been missing all that, so i had to go back to the island like that
and now its flash forward on a track gotta liberate my people
like Haunani-Kay Trask
breathin in breeze when i ease way back in a jeep
with the top and the seats lay flat
yea i got heat cuz every time i speak
i keep burning up like a haole on a beach why?

its the 808 love
like 88’ playing tapes, bass in the trunk
its the 808 kick, that just so sick it makes your heart beat
skip like thisss (x2)

i raise hell when i blaze well
and we made it next door feel
sorta like Blaisdell
and i came directly from the place
seen a whole lotta homes erased
faced with an ice epidemic so
large it’ll put global warming on pause
warning all frauds
no its not a walk on the beach so
dont come thinking shit’s sweeter than
a sugar cane tree cause
when a beat drops, brah
dont blame me and now you wanna curse like interstate 3 
news flash jerk! hawaii aint free
and i vowed on the day i became an MC
to never not saay what made to speak from
the same rock that barrack walked and breathed
be in smoke circles from the maui trees
and more informations is what we need
if you ever came up rocking swap meet tees
or you stayed havin red stains under your feet
in a spot this hot everybody stay cool
peace to the crew, I’m a lightsleeper, too
late night wonderful, under the moon
like hot sex on a platter for two
yes I’m talking to you miss 808 love
best damn place on the world to wake up!!

its the 808 love
like 88’ playing tapes, bass in the trunk
its the 808 kick, thats just soo sick make you heart beat skip like this
