Yo, every place has a ghetto This is my version of it Check it out Listen closely all I got a story to tell Version of my ghetto when life felt for real Some would call it hell, to me it was heaven God gave me the grace amazing ways of living How would you feel if you had to catch a meal To live to eat to chill and Havin' to pump the water out of the ground The way we put it down utilizing what's around Like land for farm and river for fish Everyone help each other whenever they can We makin' it happen, nothing to something We be surviving back in the homeland
[Chorus]
It's been a while but I been back to my home, to my homeland And this be what's going on Man it feels good to be back at home (back at home) It's been a decade and a journey all along I was fourteen when I first left Philippines Been away half my life and it felt like a dream To be next to my mom with her home cooked meal Man 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 the life stresses get you down On your knees Oh brother wish I could have helped you out Help me...
