[Verse 1]
West side, Waianae breeze
coconut crowns, that orange sky bleed
convoys crawl by the shoreline
rust on the chrome, still shine, still proud
Kids in the dirt lot racing RC dreams
baby on the hip, auntie laugh, he scream
classic trucks parked crooked in the sand
classic man stance with a plate in his hand (yeah)
[Chorus]
This that west side sundown
brown skin, barefoot on the playground
make playgrounds great again, hear the keiki sound
running through the dust where we hold it down
This that west side sundown
Oahu in my blood, can’t take my crown
from the coconut trees to the old ghost town
we the ones still singing when the lights go down (hey)
[Verse 2]
Loudspeakers tied to the roof rack
reggae on repeat, let it loop back
nature in the backdrop, sea so blue
but the streets raise you before the school do
A few lost souls on the corner, cold eyes
selling short stories and long goodbyes
I pray for ’em under that sinking sun
while the kids chase waves, just being young (ooh)
[Chorus]
This that west side sundown
brown skin, barefoot on the playground
make playgrounds great again, hear the keiki sound
running through the dust where we hold it down
This that west side sundown
Oahu in my blood, can’t take my crown
from the coconut trees to the old ghost town
we the ones still singing when the lights go down
[Bridge]
From the reef to the backstreets, same heart beat
love in the struggle, still find that sweet
I’m a classic man with the window rolled low
watch the sunset paint every pothole gold (yeah, yeah)
[Chorus]
This that west side sundown
brown skin, barefoot on the playground
make playgrounds great again, hear the keiki sound
running through the dust where we hold it down
This that west side sundown
Oahu in my blood, can’t take my crown
from the coconut trees to the old ghost town
we the ones still singing when the lights go down
