Verse one
Visualize the soul of a soldier
Reach inside the heart of a warrior
See inside the mind and the dreams of your grandchild
Realize the goals left forsaken
But never sell your soul to a satan
Captivate the hearts and the minds of whole nations
Chorus (x2)
Born and raised Hawaiian
I am the diamond in the rough
From the land of Zion
I am the diamond in the rough
Why oo-yeah (x4)
Verse 2
Love is what I thrive off to stay alive
Lay the head to rest call it genocide
Believe in what you see have faith in what you can be
Fertilize the land that you dwell upon
The Royalty that run right in through your blood
United we stand divided we fall
Chorus (x2)
Born and raised Hawaiian
I am the diamond in the rough
From the land of Zion
I am the diamond in the rough
Why oo-yeah (x4)
Bridge (x2)
One foot on sand, one hand Heineken
Hawaiin I am
Big group of warriors
This land we flourish on
Chorus (x2)
Born and raised Hawaiian
I am the diamond in the rough
From the land of Zion
I am the diamond in the rough
Why oo-yeah (x4)
