Local Boy
Island Bliss: Embracing Life as a Local Boy
Lyrics
I'm blessed to be a local boy
I feel fortunate to be a person from this locality
Growin' up in the country side
Growing up in a rural area
Learned to surf when I was two
Learned to surf at the age of two
When Uncle took me for a ride
Introduced to surfing by my uncle
Auntie gave me a lot of tough love
Received strict but caring guidance from my aunt
Aloha spirit, and God above
Embracing the spirit of aloha and faith in God
I've got a life that I enjoy
I lead a satisfying life
Cause I am a local boy
Attributed to being a local resident
I'M A LOCAL BOY
Emphasizing that I am indeed a local boy
I LIVE THE ISLAND LIFE
Living a lifestyle unique to the islands
COCONUTS IN THE TREES
Referencing coconut trees as part of the natural scenery
I'M A LOCAL BOY
Reiterating my identity as a local boy
WITH MY ISLAND BABY
With a special someone from the island
AND A COOL KAMAKANI BREEZE
Enjoying the pleasant local wind known as "kamakani breeze"
ALOHA SERVED UP LOCAL STYLE
Expressing love and greetings in a local manner
NO MATTER WHERE I ROAM
Despite my travels, these islands always bring me happiness
THESE ISLANDS ALWAYS BRING ME JOY
Expressing joy upon returning home
WHEN I COME BACK HOME
When I come back home to the islands
'CAUSE I'M A LOCAL BOY
Reiterating my identity as a local boy
Born and raised on Makaha beach
Being born and raised on Makaha beach
The ocean's in my blood
The ocean is a significant part of my heritage
A little pidgin in my speech
Incorporating local language (pidgin) in my speech
I like a the local bud
Enjoying locally grown marijuana
I like beautiful wahine
Appreciating beautiful women
Hangin out in their bikinis
Spending time with women in their swimsuits
At dinner time it's poke and poi
Choosing traditional Hawaiian foods like poke and poi for dinner
Cause I'm a local boy
Attributed to my identity as a local boy
I'M A LOCAL BOY
Repetition of being a local boy
I'M A LOCAL BOY
-I'M A LOCAL BOY
