(intro)
Nah! Truth don’t fade, truth don’t die,

(verse)
Step off the ship, Frisco Bay,
Back from war, but the war don’t fade.
LA sunshine, see my fam,
But gotta take my stand.
New York hustle, to tell my truth,
No can handle, so try soothe
Label me red, call me a liar
You gots ta tink about the buyer

(Chorus)
Day call me one traitor, call me one red,
But mi nah stop till the people fed!
Ink like fire, burn dem lies,
Voice in da storm, e ku mai

(Verse)
Pages turn, but doors stay locked,
Da past too real, no can block.
Pen in hand, I ready fo' write,
But fear run da world, no more light.

(Verse)
ハワイの畑で、労働者の声、
砂糖の下に、隠された苦しみ
ʻElima kānaka, ko lākou mana,
Akā mākou e kū mai, a loaʻa ko mākou wā.

(Verse)
Five kings rule from their gilded halls
Dole, Baldwin, Castle—own it all.  
Amfac, Theo—pullin’ the strings,  
Sugar plantations, they reap what it brings..
Nā mea hana, kula ka lā,
ʻO nā liʻiliʻi kālā e ʻimi ana,
Hoʻokūpaʻa i ke aupuni i hala,
Nā kānāwai i loko o ka lima kālā.
Newspapers 彼らの言葉を印刷して、
ハワイ報知はその道を切り開いた
No ads from them, no bribe, no game,
Just truth in print, E hoʻomanaʻo i ka inoa!

(Chorus)
Dey call me one traitor, call me one red,
でも俺は止まらない、民衆が満たされるまで!
Ink like fire, burn dem lies,
Voice in da storm, e ku mai

Babylon shake when da people unite,
We speak da truth, we shine dat light!
Big Five fall when da workers fight,
From da sugar fields to union rights!

(Verse)
Hawaii Hochi, write the page,
Makino 
真実書き留める新聞のページへ
eye eL double you you bring the heat,
正義のためにストリートでステージ！
Big Five fear when the people strong,
働く者は知っていた、長く苦しんでいること
19 46, the island shook, tsunami, sugar strike
百日間、彼らは書き続けた
No can bribe, no can buy,
Keep the truth, let the ink run dry!

(Chorus)
Day call me one traitor, call me one red,
Akā ʻaʻole au e kū mālie a pau ka pōpōʻai!
Ink like fire, burn dem lies,
Voice in da storm, e ku mai

(Outro)
Read dem lines, took 'em to heart,
Knew da truth was one work of art,
Took da fire, made 'em burn bright,
Start da Record, light da fight!
Plantation fields, city streets,
People talkin', feel da beat,
Workers grindin' in da heat,
Livin' low while da bosses eat.
Voices stay loud, no can ignore,
For da people, we fight, we roar,
Against da rich, we stand tall,
Togeda we rise, togeda we fall!

Babylon shake when da people unite,
We speak da truth, we shine dat light!
Big Five fall when da workers fight,
From da sugar fields to union rights!

Day call me one traitor, call me one red,
Day call me one traitor, call me one red,
Day call me one traitor, call me one red,
Day call me one traitor, call me one red,

e ku mai,

Togeda we rise, togeda we fall!

e ku mai,
