Apl Song

                                  [Chorus:]

La pit m-ga kai bigan 

At making kayo

A ko may da la da lang

Bali taga ling saba yanko

Na is kung y pama hagi 

Ang m-ga kwento

Ang m-ga pang ya yari nagaga nap

Sa lu pang pinnang a ko

 

Yo, every place has a ghetto 

This is my version of it

Check it out

Listen closely all I got a story to tell

Version of my ghetto when life felt for real

Some would call it hell, to me it was heaven

God gave me the grace amazing ways of living

How would you feel if you had to catch a meal

To live to eat to chill and

Havin' to pump the water out of the ground

The way we put it down utilizing what's around

Like land for farm and river for fish

Everyone help each other whenever they can

We makin' it happen, nothing to something

We be surviving back in the homeland

 

[Chorus]

 

It's been a while but 

I been back to my home, to my homeland

And this be what's going on

Man it feels good to be back at home (back at home)

It's been a decade and a journey all along

I was fourteen when I first left Philippines

Been away half 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

Now life has changed for me in the U.S.

But back at home man, life was a mess

I guess sometimes the life stresses get you down

On your knees

Oh brother wish I could have helped you out

Help me...



[Chorus]
