paroles de chanson The Apl Song - black eyed peas

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
At 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 balita galing sa bayan ko (Listen closely y'all)
Nais kong ipamahagi ang mga kwento
At mga pangyayaring nagaganap sa lupang 'pinangako

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 14 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 (Listen up y'all)
Ako'y may dala-dalang balita galing sa bayan ko (Listen closely y'all)
Nais kong ipamahagi ang mga kwento
At mga pangyayaring nagaganap sa lupang 'pinangako
