Waikīkī ( /waɪkiːˈkiː/; Hawaiian: [vɐiˈkiːˈkiː] or [wɐiˈkiːˈkiː]) is a neighborhood of Honolulu, in the City and County of Honolulu, on the south shore of the island of Oʻahu, in Hawaii, United States. Waikīkī Beach is the shoreline fronting Waikīkī.
Waikīkī is home to public places including Kapiʻolani Park, Fort de Russy Military Reservation, Kahanamoku Lagoon, Kūhiō Beach Park, and Ala Wai Harbor.
The name Waikīkī means spouting fresh water in the Hawaiian language, for springs and streams that fed wetlands that once separated Waikīkī from the interior.
The neighborhood extends from the Ala Wai Canal (a channel dug to drain former wetlands) on the west and north, to Diamond Head (Lēʻahi) on the east. Waikīkī Beach is noted for its views of the Diamond Head tuff cone, its usually warm and cloud-free climate and its surf break.
The Waikīkī skyline is now dotted with an abundance of both high-rises and resort hotels. The beach is actually fairly short, with half of it marked off for surfers. For some distance into the ocean the water is quite shallow, although there are numerous rocks on the bottom. As with most ocean beaches the waves can have some force, particularly on windy days. The surf at Waikīkī is known for its long rolling break, making it ideal for long boarding, tandem surfing and beginners.
I am the original bitch, I am the original whore
I am the girl that you just won't admit you adore
I am the original witch, I am the original whore
I am the girl that you just won't admit you adore
I suppose you think that you know me now
Yeah, I bet you've got it all figured out
And you try and pick apart the shit that I do
All the while the quest for fame has got you
You're so vein, you don't even notice that corruption surrounds you
You don't even notice somebody set their arms around you
You're just waiting for me to drown
So no one knows that you stole my whole sound
And yet you're grinning when I come around
You fake ass bitch
You're just waiting for me to drown
So no one knows that you stole my whole sound
And yet you're grinning when I come around
Fake ass bitch
I am the original bitch, I am the original whore
I am the girl that you just won't admit you adore
I am the original witch, I am the original whore
I am the girl that you just won't admit you adore
How kind of you to offer
What you think a woman should do or say
Maybe if you weren't so self-righteous
You would not have such a hard time getting laid
Whatever you have to say out loud
To convince yourself that you're right
Oh, it's just too bad
You carry no conviction in your so-called revelations
Your pedantic conversations shed no light
Oh, you're just waiting for me to drown
So no one knows that you stole my whole sound
And yet you're grinning when I come around
You fake ass bitch
You're just waiting for me to drown
So no one knows that you stole my whole sound
And yet you're grinning when I come around
Fake ass bitch
I am the original bitch, I am the original whore
I am the girl that you just won't admit you adore
I am the original witch, I am the original whore
I am the girl that you just won't admit you adore
Fake ass bitch
Now everybody knows you're a fake ass bitch
And I'm gonna get them
