La La La –
Lapit mga kaibigan at makinig kayo
(Listen up, y’all)
Ako’y may dala-dalang
balita galing sa bayan ko
(Listen closely, y’all)
Nais kong ipamahagi ang mga kwento
Ng mga pangyayaring nagaganap
Sa lupang pinangako
Every place got a ghetto
this is my version Check it out
Listen closely yo,
I got a story to tell
A version of my ghetto
where life felt for real
Some would call it hell
but to me it was heaven
God gave me the grace,
amazin’ ways of living
How would you feel if you
had to catch your meal
Build a hut to live and to eat and chill in
Having to pump the water
outta the ground
The way we put it down
utilizing what is around
Like land for farming, river for fishing
Everyone helpin’ each
other whenever they can
We makin’ it happen,
from nothin’ to somethin’
That’s how we be survivin’
back in my homeland
Lapit mga kaibigan at makinig kayo
(Listen up, y’all)
Ako’y may dala-dalang

Nais kong ipamahagi ang mga kwento

Yo, its been a while but…
I been back home to my homeland,
(check it out) to see what’s going on
Man it feels good to be back at home
And it’s been a decade, on the journey all alone
I was fourteen when I first left Philippines
I’ve been away half my life, but it felt like a day
To be next to my mom
with her home cooked meal
Meant 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,
oh brother I wish I could
have helped you out…
Lapit mga kaibigan at makinig kayo
