[Verse 1: Sans]

White flag was the first time I heard

Someone from my state rap, then heard Emirc

Honolulu was the anthem back then

And still bumps, like riding in a truck

Used to write that emotional rap

Still do, cause I can’t stop, won’t stop feeling

Wrote slam poetry, but kept flowing free

Something similar to pacific ocean breezes

I love the HI state hip hop vibe

Rubber slippers in the cypher outside

Jazzminds: Big Mox, KLuv, Deadbeats crew

Inspired the kid to freestyle for the first time

Still remembеr how a first love feels

All butterflies insidе, let em out on stage

Been writing for the past nine years

Break chrysalis open, now I let my words off page

[Chorus: Zack Shimizu]

I used to love her

Ooooh, I love her still

I used to love her

Ooooh, I love her still

[Verse 2: Creed Chameleon]

We can take it back, back in the days

Back pack in a daze when a rap was amazed

In a track with the ADAT packed in the playback

Snapped to your face black tapped in the 8-track

I remember recording at Joe Dub’s

I used to mess up with my lines but then the fam showed love

Regardless of repertoire or crew I had to call

Got one shot to fall but always ripping it raw

Made some mistakes and always try to improve

On the next move to do in order for power moves

Put on my shoes and ready to bust flows

Wherever the bus goes, wherever I must go

So much soul and passion for this reaction

This hip hop thang got me loving the fashion

The culture, the movement, the style how we do it

The truest congruent to my life is music

[Chorus: Zack Shimizu]

I used to love her

Ooooh, I love her still

I used to love her

Ooooh, I love her still

[Verse 3: Sans]

Put your hands up if you love that real hip hop

Put your hands up up one time

Put your hands up if you love that HI hip hop

Put your hands up up one time

Now put your hands up if you love that real hip hop

Put your hands up up one time

Put your hands up if you love that HI hip hop

Put your hands up up one time
