[Black Eyed Peas - The APL Song lyrics]
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
Help me, help me, help me, help me, help me
Help me
(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
