Lyrics:
To all my cousins and my sugas
We can’t let them assume us
We got our own history
We got our own stories
Listen what your matua told
so you'll never be controlled
To all my cousins and my sugas
We can’t let them assume us
We got our own history
We got our own stories
Listen what your matua told
so you'll never be controlled

You see our people are dying
I’m sick of funerals crying
My weapon rhyming
But I rather
Stab his thighs
Look him in the eyes
Whisper our truth
until he realize
All this chastising
Right in front of our faces
It’s a
war going on
Its time to revolutionize
You playing on the other side
In our enemy’s games and
renegading
Instead of educating
What they saying are tricks
Words to build up their power
Make it look like a brick
But it’s an illusional tower
‘Cause they the only ones stacking
While we out here padding their pockets
Meanwhile ain’t **** in our wallets
They got us
Killing each other for profit
For pieces of paper
Mass-produced ink
But stop and rethink
Who had permanent writing
All over they body
Don’t be so quick
To dismiss
What your grandma say to you?
Think you’re getting something new
Fia fasi i lou guku

To all my cousins and my sugas
We can’t let them assume us
We got our own history
We got our own stories
Listen what your matua told
so you'll never be controlled
To all my cousins and my sugas
We can’t let them assume us
We got our own history
We got our own stories
Listen what your matua told
so you'll never be controlled

Back in the day
The USA wanted Pago Bay
to refuel their ships
across the Pacific
Siamagi wanted Upolu
But like your teacher told you
they got greedy
and thought it would be easy
to take on the globe
War 1, 2 you know
Changed life as we knew it
Whose bombs, who blew it
Now here’s pisupo cut through it
When the food’s supplied by
The Navy stores
What about the matai
And the fa’ato’aga
Now instead of ie toga
Now we owing kala
Instead of what we can afford
For fa’alavelave and meaalofa
Now we’re going overboard
Requests getting ignored
And our kids don’t see the value
In our language anymore
Se alu Johnny e fiapalagi
He just wants to make money
More easy join the military
So now he’s enlisted
But don’t get it twisted
‘Cause a little was funded
Thousands of years to a couple hundred

To all my cousins and my sugas
We can’t let them assume us
We got our own history
We got our own stories
Listen what your matua told
so you'll never be controlled
To all my cousins and my sugas
We can’t let them assume us
We got our own history
We got our own stories
Listen what your matua told
so you'll never be controlled
