The Apl Song+California - Black Eyed Peas/Akia

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 kuwento

Ang mga pangyayaring nagaganap sa lupang pinangako

Yo every place got a ghetto

This is my version of it 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 balita galing sa bayan ko

Listen closely y'all

Nais kong ipamahagi ang mga kuwento

Ang mga pangyayaring nagaganap sa lupang pinangako

Yo it's been a while but

I've 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

Man I felt complete my emotions I feel

Now life has changed for me in the US

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

Listen up y'all

Ako'y may dala-dalang balita galing sa bayan ko

Listen closely y'all

Nais kong ipamahagi ang mga kuwento

Ang mga pangyayaring nagaganap sa lupang pinangako

Top off the ride we can cruise around

And hit the shore

We can hit sunset

And there's a party goin on every corner

Starin out my window at you

Gettin by ain't the same without you

But life ain't the same without you

Tears from my eyes cry boo
