Black Eyed Peas Lyrics
"The
Apl Song"
[Chorus in Tagalog]
Lapit
mga kaibigan at makinig kayo
Ako'y may dala-dalang, balita galing sa bayan
ko
Nais kong ipamahagi ang mga kwento
Ang mga pangyayaring nagaganap
Sa
lupang pinangako
[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
I was fourteen when 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]
