sans - nu‘uanu lyrics

i love where i’m from
i love it so much

[chorus]

my valley scenic
you ain’t seen it
nu’uanu and hialoa
those be my streets, kid

[verse 1: sans]
23 years in apartment 25
i stole the street signs after a tropical storm
they blew down and i wanted em encouraged by mom
she told me wait a day, grab em after sunset
so n0body would see, does that make her my accomplice?
probably not, but i stole the signs and i’m proud of it
the eight one seven, noa in the back of the valley
we’d write songs on his porch and post em
they missеd me at the okazuya while i was at harvard
kalihi on port, manoa on starboard
sam’s dеlicatessen fed me more than my moms did
i worked at huckleberry farms before it closed
and they rebuilt the shopping plaza with the banyan tree that was in hungry lion
still enclosed
remember vhs copped from the video shop
rent em for a weekend, two dollars a pop
jurassic park, teenage mutant ninja turtles
pokemon blue version, i chose squirtle
royal school fool, super super citizen
kawananakoa middle, the botball champion
shoutout mr. hasuko, for telling me that i wouldn’t get my life together ’til i turn thirty
i’m not there yet, still a few years
but i’m back now with some new peers
teaching downtown, back where i was grown
this is a love song to the valley i call home
[chorus]

nu’uanu, land of my birth
i will love you until i’m scattered in earth
nu’uanu, land of my birth
i will love you until i’m scattered in earth
my valley scenic
you ain’t seen it
nu’uanu and hialoa
those be my streets, kid
my valley scenic
you ain’t seen it
nu’uanu / hialoa
those be my streets

[outro]

i go by sans on the microphone
but my name is sterling higa
i was born at queens medical center
and i lived my first twenty+three years in nu’uanu valley
at the corner of nu’uanu avenue and hialoa street
i will forever claim nu’uanu as my home
and i will always, always come back
thanks to ohtoro for making this music possible
thanks to my mama for being my mama
and thank you, for listening
sail boat
