Pattiw or Western Islands is the name of the westernmost area of the State of Chuuk in the Federated States of Micronesia, consisting of the three islands or atolls of Houk, Poluwat and Pollap,[1] with a total land area of 7.17 km² (2.77 sq.mi) and a population of 2,736 (as of the census of 2000). Pattiw is one of three areas of Chuuk's Northwestern Region, Oksoritod. Poluwat is attached to the large Uranie Bank (332 km²) and lies in the northwest corner of the bank, while Houk (Pulusuk) marks the southeastern point of Manila Reef (also 332 km² in area).

She might have left my hood
But she was born in my town
You didn't know, thought we was new on the scene

'Cause if you know these streets
Then these streets know you
An' when it's time to handle business
Then you know what to do
(What to do)
Me and my crew
We stay true, old skool or new
Many were called
But the chosen are few
(We are few)
We rise to the top
What you want, just in case you forgot
Rush the stage, grab my mic
Show me what you got?
You didn't know, thought we was new on the scene
(Well it's alright, it's alright)
I know you know, I see you smiling at me
(Well it's alright, it's alright)
