Stand Together

[Intro: POETIK]
Division in the world we live in will only result in a negative outcome (Check, check)
But if our people were united through peace and love (Yo)
Then we will all prosper

[Verse 1: POETIK]
Polynesian children, culminating get-up
The ghetto is a storm, we can ride it out together
Raise your head to the sky, young soldier, stand with pride
Trace back your bloodline to where islands kings reside
When it was our time and our people's harmony shine like diamonds
The young respected the old, the stories told were knowledge
When we empowered our children, the culture was vibrant
Now our culture is gang signs, gunshots and violence
Tragedy seems to befall the hands of every man
To eliminate division, we must all make a stance

[Hook 1: POETIK]
Stand together (Stand together)
Take the time to elevate your mind
Stand together (Stand together)
Pursuing happiness for you and I

[Verse 2: POETIK]
In many songs that I do, I spit negative issues
Right now I'm spittin' love and I pray that it don't miss you
To my people in the classrooms chasin' dreams with a pencil
To my usos on the block still ridin' through with a pistol
Politics and scholars with the right mind of tolerance
Open your eyes; looking through the stereotype, this is real life
Time to save 'em; for the next generation, build a path
It's time to pave it; freedom ain't free, you gots to claim it
The past of red and blue, we the same skin colour
Divided by the paper, why not share amongst each other?
Anything is possible when you inject love
And if we all stand together then they can't test one
From AK to Cali, from OZ to the islands
Polynesian unite so our future is apromised, stand together (Stand together)

[Interlude: Uptown Swuite]
Yeah, yeah, Uptown

[Verse 3: Uptown Swuite]
Stand together
Polynesians separated by issues of reputable signs and gang letters (Let's)
Queens of destiny, showed another melody
Soldiers of integrity, the kings of humility (Ooh)
Island breeze, iconic weather and trees
Stripping off of the leaves, braided them by the sea
The common majority, stereotypical view of where we going—the unlimited fool (Fool)
For the soul that we use when we roll
The canoes over the ocean for lands we explore
The navigators of stars, administrators of beauty
On the skin, be a tattoo (Proud to be)
Brown-faced, sun-baked in the South Pacific soil
Captivated the mind, shine bright like foil
Aluminum speech, orally rhymatic
Vocally back at it, the musicality habit (Habit)
Ready to rumble yet humble in the same breath
Honor to our elders, only homage what we say death
Intricate weapons of war, woven tapestries
Languages forever flowing deep into the apathy
Modern-day tragedy, this is from the typical mentality
Actually, all love in the family
(One) Divisible hugged at the critical form
(One entity) When getting it on
You struggle, I struggle when we muscle the morn
It's a hustle, never tussle alone, show me; I'm bustin' 'em on
Lava-lava hanging dead out my backside
Together move forward, never backslide, church

[Bridge: [?] & POETIK]
I'm calling (Calling)
Out to (Out to)
All my (All my)
Polynesians (Polynesians)
I can't (I can't)
See you (See you)
Live without deceiving (Live without deceiving)
I'm calling (Calling)
Out to (Out to)
All my (All my)
Polynesians (Polynesians)
I can't (I can't)
See you (See you)
Live without deceiving (Live without deceiving)

[Hook 2: POETIK]
I dedicate this to you, my brother
To all my island queen sisters
Every Nesian worldwide stand with each other
Poly proud, let's unite, now it's time to save life, come on
I dedicate this to you, my brother
To all my island queen sisters
Every Nesian worldwide stand with each other
Poly proud, let's unite, now it's time to save life, come on

[Verse 4: POETIK]
Congregate with elders, wisdom to be received
Nesian gospel move with the spirit, I receive
I believe in my heart, mind, spirit and soul
That the change gon' come; after the rain, we see the sun
Learn from the past so we can teach our seeds
Embodied with harmony, living no longer stuck in greed
Though tangled webs have been weaved, break through all barriers
Keep close the ways of old and let the culture carry you
Lord, I pray; deliver us from evil
The tribulations strengthen us to face another day
Increase the peace on the block 'cause these days it's too hot
The only peace that we got's to pack a piece on the block
Hard to maintain, another brother found slain
Victimise our own kind so we dying in vain
But if every street in every hood in every state around the world
Could spit love instead of bullets, we'd live life to the fullest
Marinate on that; I pray that these words reach a guardian of my sisters, I am my brother's keeper
Patron, stay strong; got it by heaven's angels

[Outro: POETIK]
I dedicate this one to you, my brother
To all my island queen sisters
Every Nesian worldwide stand with each other
Poly proud, let's unite, now it's time to save life, come on
I dedicate this to you, my brother
To all my island queen sisters
Every Nesian worldwide stand with each other
Poly proud, let's unite, now it's time to save life, come on

I dedicate this one to you, my brother
To all my island queen sisters
