Twenty miles from Honolulu
Waikiki here I come
Put my body in the ocean
And float around to the setting sun
But my mind is in Mid City
Where I made my hallowed ground
Doesn't matter where you take me
My heart beats to a different drum (A drum, a drum, a different drum)
I was born in a real cold place
Where people drink and people fight
Oh you barely see a grown man dance
And when you do it don't look right
Yeah my mind is in Mid City
Where I made my hallowed ground
Doesn't matter where you take me
My heart still beats like a different drum (A drum, a drum, a different drum)
(solo)
But my mind is in Mid City
Where I made my hallowed ground
Doesn't matter where you take me
My heart beats like a different drum (A drum, a drum, a different drum)
