[Verse 1]
Granma on the lanai
Slippahs on
Hair tied
She stir the stew
Side-eye
My phone like it guilty
I tell her
"Tūtū
This one think"
She laugh
"Boy
Go wash the sink
Only person I listen
Get one heartbeat
Get one blink"
[Chorus]
Hawaiian granma no believe in AI
She trust the clouds and the trade wind sky
She say
"If it no can hug you
Why you let it tell you true?"
Hawaiian granma no believe in AI
"That thing know you? It can taste my poi rice?"
She tap my head
"Keiki
Try
Use your brain
Not only device" (hey!)
[Verse 2]
She read my text out loud
Half wrong
Still so proud
"Why you ask machine for songs?
You get voice
You sing it strong"
I tell her
"It can help me write"
She light one candle in the night
"Long time
We just talk story
Under stars
We doing fine"
[Chorus]
Hawaiian granma no believe in AI
She trust the clouds and the trade wind sky
She say
"If it no can hug you
Why you let it tell you true?"
Hawaiian granma no believe in AI
"That thing know you? It can taste my poi rice?"
She tap my head
"Keiki
Try
Use your brain
Not only device"
[Bridge]
But when I play her this little song
She close her eyes
Hum along
"Machine help you with the rhyme?"
I nod once
She smile one time
"Even so
Remember
Boy
Real aloha
That your choice"
[Chorus]
Hawaiian granma no believe in AI
She trust the clouds and the trade wind sky
She say
"If it no can hug you
Why you let it tell you true?"
Hawaiian granma no believe in AI
"That thing know you? It can taste my poi rice?"
She kiss my cheek
"Keiki
I
Still love you more than any device"
