chorus:

lapit mga kaibigan at makinig kayo(listen up yo)
ako'y may dala-dalang balita
galing sa bayan ko
nais kong ipamahagi ang mga kwento ng mga pangyayaring nagaganap sa lupang pinangako

listen closely y'all i gotta story to tell a version of my ghetto where life felt for real
some would call it hell but for me it was heaven god have me the most amazin' ways of livin'
how would you feel if you have to catch a meal build a hut to live in eat and chill in
havin to pump a water out of the ground the way we put it down utilizin' what is aroun like land for farming river for fihing everyone is helping each other when ever they can we're making it happen from nothing to something that's that's how we surviving back in my home land

(repeat chorus)

man it feels good to be back at home and its been a decade on the journey all alone i was 14 when i first left philippines it been half of my life and it felt like a dream to be next to my mom with her home cooked meal man i felt complete my emotions i feel but life has changed for me in the u.s but back at home man life was a mess i guess sometimes life's stesses lets you down on your knees o brother wish i could help you out

(repeat chorus)
