Island Warriors


preformed by: O-Shen
sheet by: Travis @ www.islemusic.cjb.net

I don't know this language so I don't know if he's speaking english at parts.

chords: G  Am

plenty mangi tumas
I go lo kalabus taim ol I strap yangpela yet
Mama, Papa I poor yet
Na oli karai tumas I belong ol sa'i stap ret I say

Chorus: 
	Keep the youth out of the prison
	To many young island warriors in a cell ah
	Help them choose the right style of livin 
	Sick of seeing young brother spend their life in hell

The island that your from
Has never been so far away from you
Some of you get out someday
The other ones have a sky that is never blue
A holler out to those island boys spendin years in a penitentiary
Stay strong and never forget about your island home in the pacific sea

(chorus)

We must be the modern day warriors
With no place in this new wave hi-tech society
I just wanna pick my own mangos
And sit and eat it underneath a palm tree by the sea
But when i moved into the big city
Complications overcame me so I lived illegally
Found myself in this captivity
South Pacific on my mind and desire to be free
Plenty mangi tumas insait kalabus
Nau ol marimari pinis tasol ol i pas olgeta waio

(chorus)

Ol kalabusim me long kalabus america 
Me robb'em one fella man na oli bin pasim ni nau
Mama, Papa ol I wariwari lo' me
Talol now me strap free over a sea I say

(chorus)

I was thinkin I would never get out let out a shout
Home sick for me island why did I choose this route
Come out 2 1/2 years later a changed man
In a different land
Lord can you help me understand why dont they

(chorus)
