La-La-La.....
Lapit mga kaibigan
At makinig kayo (listen up yo)
Ako may dala-dalang balita galing sa bayan ko
(Listen closely ya´ll)
Nais kung y pamahagi ang mga kwento
Ang mga pangyayari nagaganap sa lupang pinangako
(Yo every place got a ghetto, this´ my version of it, check it out)
Listen closely ya´ll I got a story to tell
A version of my ghetto
A life felt for real
Some would call it hell but to me it was heaven
And God gave me the grace, amazing ways of livin´
How would you feel if you had to catch a meal
Build a hut to live in, to eat and chill in
Havin´ to pump the water out of the ground
The way we put it down, udalizing what is around
Like land for farmin´, river for fishin´
Everyone helping each other whenever they can
We makin´ it happen, from nothin´ to somethin´
Thas´ how we be survivin´ back in my homeland
{au Refrain}
(Yo it´s been a while but I´ve been back home to my homeland this whats goin´ on)
Man it feels good to be back at home (back at home)
And it´s been a decade on the journey all alone
I was 14 when I first left Philippines
I´ve been away half my life and it felt like day
To be next to my mom with her home cooked meal, man
I felt complete, my emotions I feel
Now life has changed for me in the u.s.
But back at home man (life was a mess,
I guess sometimes life´s stresses gets you down,
On your knees, o´ brother wished I could have helped you out.)
