The Apl Song Lyrics - The Black Eyed Peas

1 Lapit mga kaibigan at makinig kayo (Listen up, y'all)

2 Ako'y may dala-dalang balita galing sa bayan ko (Listen closely, y'all)

3 Nais kong ipamahagi ang mga kwento

4 Ng mga pangyayaring nagaganap

5 Sa lupang pinangako

6 Yo, Everyplace got a ghetto and this is my version of it.

7 Check it out...

8 Listen closely y'all, I got a story to tell

9 A version of my ghetto where life's felt for real

10 Some would call it hell but to me it was heaven

11 God gave me the grace, amazin' ways of living

12 How would you feel if you had to catch a meal?

13 Build a hut to live and to eat and chill in.

14 Having to pump the water outta the ground

15 The way we put it down utilizing what is around

16 Like land for farming, river for fishing

17 Everyone helpin' each other whenever they can

18 We makin' it happen, from nothin' to somethin'

19 That's how we be survivin' back in my homeland

20 Lapit mga kaibigan at makinig kayo (Listen up, y'all)

21 Ako'y may dala-dalang balita galing sa bayan ko (Listen closely, y'all)

22 Nais kong ipamahagi ang mga kwento

23 Ng mga pangyayaring nagaganap

24 Sa lupang pinangako

25 Yo, its been a while but...

26 I been back home to my homeland, (check it out) to see what's going on

27 Man it feels good to be back at home

28 And it's been a decade, on the journey all alone

29 I was fourteen when I first left Philippines

30 I've been away half my life, but it felt like a dream

31 To be next to my mom with her home cooked meal

32 Man, I felt complete, my emotions I feel!

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

34 But back at home man, life was a mess...

35 I guess sometimes life's stresses gets you down

36 On your knees, oh brother wish I could have helped you out...

37 Lapit mga kaibigan at makinig kayo (Listen up, y'all)

38 Ako'y may dala-dalang balita galing sa bayan ko (Listen closely, y'all)

39 Nais kong ipamahagi ang mga kwento

40 Ng mga pangyayaring nagaganap

41 Sa lupang pinangako
