Текст песни Black Eyed Peace and Esthero - The Apl Song

[ Chorus in Tagalog ]
Intimacy with friends and listen
I am carrying , news from my hometown
I want to share the story
The events occurring
Promised land

[ English Translation : ]
( Come closer my friends and everyone listen
I brought news from my homeland
I'll tell you how we live and what goes on
From my beloved homeland . )

[ Verse one , apl.de.ap ]
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

[ Chorus ]

[ Verse two , apl.de.ap ]
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
When I was fourteen 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 ...

[ Chorus ]
