The APL Song
Black Eyed Peas
La-La-La…..
Lapit mga kaibigan
At makinig kayo (listen up yo)
Ako may dala-dalang balita galing sa bayan ko
(Listen closely ya’ll)
Nais kung y pamahagi ang mga kwento
Ang mga pangyayari nagaganap sa lupang pinangako
(Yo every place got a ghetto, this’ my version of it, check it out)
Listen closely ya’ll I got a story to tell
A version of my ghetto
A life felt for real
Some would call it hell but to me it was heaven
And God gave me the grace, amazing ways of livin’
How would you feel if you had to catch a meal
Build a hut to live in, to eat and chill in
Havin’ to pump the water out of the ground
The way we put it down, udalizing what is around
Like land for farmin’, river for fishin’
Everyone helping each other whenever they can
We makin’ it happen, from nothin’ to somethin’
Thas’ how we be survivin’ back in my homeland
{Chorus}
(Yo it’s been a while but I’ve been back home to my homeland this whats goin’ on)
Man it feels good to be back at home (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 and it felt like 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 u.s.
But back at home man (life was a mess,
I guess sometimes life’s stresses gets you down,
On your knees, o’ brother wished I could have helped you out.)
{Chorus}
