Refrão -------------  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}
