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