Lapit mga kaibigan at makinig kayo
Ako'y may dala-dalang, balita galing sa bayan ko Black
Nais kong ipamahagi ang mga kwento
Ang mga pangyayaring nagaganap
Sa lupang pinangako Eyed

[English Translation:]

(Come closer my friends and everyone listen
I brought news from my homeland Peas
I'll tell you how we live and what goes on Lil'
From my beloved homeland.)

[Verse one, Apl.De.Ap]

Every place got a ghetto this is my version Songtexte
Check it out...
Listen closely yo, I got a story to tell Songtext
A version of my ghetto where life felt for real
Some would call it hell but to me it was heaven Lyrics
God gave me the grace, amazin' ways of living
How would you feel if you had to catch your meal? Lyric
Build a hut to live and to eat and chill in. Liedertexte
Having to pump the water outta the ground
The way we put it down utilizing what is around Liedertext
Like land for farming, river for fishing
Everyone helpin' each other whenever they can Alle
We makin' it happen, from nothin' to somethin'
That's how we be survivin' back in my homeland Black

[Chorus]

[Verse two, Apl.De.Ap]

Yo, its been a while but... Eyed
I been back home to my homeland, (check it out) to see what's going on Peas
Man it feels good to be back at home
And it's been a decade, on the journey all alone Lil'
I was fourteen when I first left Philippines
I've been away half my life, but it felt like a day Songtexte
To be next to my mom with her home cooked meal Songtext
Meant I felt complete, my emotions I feel!
Now life has changed for me in the U.S Lyrics
But back at home man, life was a mess...
I guess sometimes life's stresses gets you down Lyric
On your knees, oh brother I wish I could have helped you out...
