Puakenikeni Lyrics

[Intro]
(Konvict)
Y'all ain't ready
Y'all ain't ready
Y'all ain't ready
Well, how you get 'em, girl (Ami down south)

[Chorus]
(That's how you get 'em, girl)
(That's how you get 'em, girl)
(That's how you get 'em, girl)
(How you get 'em, girl) Ami down south
Everybody's looking at me (That's how you get 'em, girl)
They like the way I turn up the heat (That's how you get 'em, girl)
So, all off get out on this beat (That's how you get 'em, girl)
(That's how I get 'em, girl) Ami down south, yeah

[Verse 1]
Every time I move, I feel like they up under me
Call it intuition, but I know they wanna see
Wanna see, wanna see, ah, the curiosity
How far they can take it with this wicky wahine

[Refrain]
Don't you wanna pick my Puakenikeni?
Don't you wanna pick my Puakenikeni?
Don't you wanna catch me in my red bikini?
Nothing's sweeter than my Puakenikeni
[Chorus]
(That's how you get 'em, girl)
(That's how you get 'em, girl)
(That's how you get 'em, girl)
(How you get 'em, girl) Ami down south
Everybody's looking at me (That's how you get 'em, girl)
They like the way I turn up the heat (That's how you get 'em, girl)
So, all off get out on this beat (That's how you get 'em, girl)
(That's how I get 'em, girl) Ami down south, yeah

[Verse 2]
I see you scoop and tryna get a little closer to me
Thinkin' I don't notice you rubbin' all up on me
Fifty feet, fifty feet, boy, get up off from me
The way I drop my arm and make them rush all over me

[Refrain]
Don't you wanna pick my Puakenikeni?
Don't you wanna pick my Puakenikeni?
Don't you wanna catch me in my red bikini?
Nothing's sweeter than my Puakenikeni

[Chorus]
(That's how you get 'em, girl)
(That's how you get 'em, girl)
(That's how you get 'em, girl)
(How you get 'em, girl) Ami down south
Everybody's looking at me (That's how you get 'em, girl)
They like the way I turn up the heat (That's how you get 'em, girl)
So, all off get out on this beat (That's how you get 'em, girl)
(That's how I get 'em, girl) Ami down south, yeah
[Verse 3: Brick & Lace]
Sit 'em up then, sit 'em up, money wants to know it
Sit 'em up then, sit 'em up, money wants to know it
It's Brick & Lace and Nicole up at night to party
(And when we ami down south, yeah) We get 'em rowdy
Haven't said that woman Puakeni, said it sweet (Yeah)
Hope we get that something from the Puakeni-tree
I'm like Eve in the Garden, I feel tempted to eat this
My love is wicked, people want to repeat this

[Break]
Elik-Elikolani (They callin' out your name)
Elik-Elikolani (They gonna start a flame)
Elik-Elikolani (They callin' out your name)
Elik-Elikolani (They gonna start a flame)

[Refrain]
Don't you wanna pick my Puakenikeni?
Don't you wanna pick my Puakenikeni?
Don't you wanna catch me in my red bikini?
Nothing's sweeter than my Puakenikeni

[Chorus]
(That's how you get 'em, girl)
(That's how you get 'em, girl)
(That's how you get 'em, girl)
(How you get 'em, girl) Ami down south
Everybody's looking at me (That's how you get 'em, girl)
They like the way I turn up the heat (That's how you get 'em, girl)
So, all off get out on this beat (That's how you get 'em, girl)
(That's how I get 'em, girl) Ami down south, yeah
[Refrain]
Don't you wanna pick my Puakenikeni?
(That's how you get 'em, girl)
Don't you wanna pick my Puakenikeni?
(That's how you get 'em, girl)
Don't you wanna catch me in my red bikini?
(That's how you get 'em, girl)
(How you get 'em girl) Ami down south

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Answer

I’m proud of my background and heritage. Puakenikeni is one of my favorite flowers because it has the sweetest, most fragrant smells, so Akon and I came up with this fun, kitschy line, ‘Don’t you wanna pick my puakenikeni?’ It’s my shout out to my family and the islands! “Hey, I get ‘um!”
