Hawaiian Anarchy

[Verse 1] They drew the lines, they claimed the crown, Brought the cross, tried to write us down. But our blood is not their claim to make, We live ehah — not what the state creates. They said "nation," they said "law," But all we saw were iron jaws. Before their flags and printed maps, We lived without their title traps. [Chorus] No kings in the ahupua‘a, No thrones upon this land. We walk with gods and lava flows, Not under state command. No borders on our breath and skin, No chains on sex or sea— We rise with ehah, not empire, That’s Hawaiian anarchy. [Verse 2] From Makua to Waiākea, We don’t need states to hold ehah. They measure worth in blood and bone, But sovereignty is not their own. The land’s not "private," love’s not "sin," We carry power deep within. Gendered rules and Christian lies— We buried them where truth still cries. [Bridge] (chant style) Ehah is not your ballot box. Ehah don’t need your locks. Ehah don’t beg from governors— Ehah walks with sharks and rocks. No kingdoms here to crown again, No federal disguise— We know the state just colonized Our fire, our love, our skies. [Chorus] No kings in the ahupua‘a, No soldiers on our shore. We thrive in webs of care and kin, We don’t need states no more. No state can hold our many selves, Or cage our sacred sea— We live with eahhh, not empire, That’s Hawaiian anarchy. [Verse 3] This ain’t some bloodline war for rule, We’re done with that colonial school. Anarchists of rain and root, We don’t owe power to a suit. Each valley held its own design, Decentralized, alive, divine. No “civil law,” no lordly plan— Just rhythm shared by sea and land. [Outro] (spoken or sung softly) We don’t consent to domination. We don’t consent to states. We are not waiting for permission To love, to live, to liberate.
