Justin Kawika Young: Never Forget Where I'm From

SPOKEN:
This song goes out to all the braddahs and sistas out there who have been away from the islands for too long. Whether you moved away or at college or just on a long vacation, we know how you feel.

Feels like longer than forever yeah,
My home is now a distant land
If I had one wish, I wish I could be
Back on that rock in the middle of the sea.

BRIDGE:
My heart is calling me to the islands
Blue skies and tropical breeze.
I wanna go back home to swim in that Pacific sea.

CHORUS:
You can take the boy from the island,
But not the island from the boy.
'Cause the island stays in your heart
And I'll never forget where I'm from.
Oh no I'll never forget where I'm from,
No I'll never forget.

I miss the local grinds you know what kind I mean:
Lau lau, lomi salmon and yes Kalua pig,
L & L plate lunch, ooh, what a winner
Call da braddahs up, "Cuz, we go buy dinner!"

BRIDGE

CHORUS

RAP:
Comin' from these island yes the island's where I'm from.
Love the local girls 'cause they are the number 1.
Now kick back and just relaxed in the place I wanna be,
'Cause when I leave this island I'll be
Sorry that I left you (yes) and I will never forget you no no...

Forget you no no, me never let you go,
Yes me can't stop, won't stop 'til me find my way back home.
And when me return, return to the island finally,
Rollin' like the ocean and I'm
Sorry that I left you (yes) and I will never forget you no no...
No no.

BRIDGE

CHORUS

Forget you no no, me never let you go,
Me said me can't stop, won't stop 'til me find my way back home.
And when me return, return to the island finally,
Rollin' like the ocean and I'm
Sorry that I left you (yes) and I will never forget you no no...
No no.
(TO FADE)
