Em7 Bm7 Lapit mga kaibigan at makinig kayo Em7 Bm7 Ako'y may dala-dalang, balita galing sa bayan ko C7+ D7+ Nais kong ipamahagi ang mga kwento Em7 Ang mga pangyayaring nagaganap Bm7 Em7 Sa lupang pinangako
Verse 1: Every place got a ghetto this is my version Check it out... Em7 Listen closely yo, I got a story to tell Bm7 A version of my ghetto where life felt for real Em7 Some would call it hell but to me it was heaven Bm7 God gave me the grace, amazin' ways of living C7+ How would you feel if you had to catch your meal? D7+ Build a hut to live and to eat and chill in. Em7 Having to pump the water outta the ground Bm7 The way we put it down utilizing what is around C7+ Like land for farming, river for fishing D7+ Everyone helpin' each other whenever they can Em7 We makin' it happen, from nothin' to somethin' That's how we be survivin' back in my homeland. {Chorus} Verse 2: Yo, its been a while but... I been back home to my homeland, (check it out) to see what's going on Em7 Man it feels good to be back at home Bm7 And it's been a decade, on the journey all alone Em7 I was fourteen when I first left Philippines Bm7 I've been away half my life, but it felt like a day C7+ To be next to my mom with her home cooked meal D7+ Meant I felt complete, my emotions I feel! Em7 Now life has changed for me in the U.S Bm7 But back at home man, life was a mess... C7+ D7+ I guess sometimes life's stresses gets you down (on your knees) Em7 Oh brother I wish I could have helped you out... {Chorus}
