Barangay
And I'm not chillin' if God's will is
Everything I dream what my God envisions
Don't try to talk to me about what's wrong and what's right
I know my heart is where the light starts to open your eyes
I can feel it my pulse every time that I write
The good Lord is lookin' down and he thinks I'm alright
He said everything is beautiful that's the under the sky
See cuz I created you in the the image of mine
Well, cotdamn, aren't we flawed
State of human beings lookin' like Neanderthals
How much have we evolved like really
History repeats itself just lookin' at my city
But all around the town I think they really bout to know me
Honolulu views man I swear it's so special
Philippines got me thinking on another level
Never will I settle
Never have you peddled
Or picked a couple vegetables
Or shown respect for the land that you on
Take pride in the land that I'm from
My forefathers grandfathers grandmother's sun
3 Decades later, why'd it take so long
They say you don't belong 'less you forget ya native tongue
The hell is goin' on
But now it's 2018
My girl's hometown feel like 1983
Ilocos Sur vibes why'd you never take me
Why'd you ever let me leave
It was 1993
Families had to break up
It's why these Filipino women wearing all they make up
'Cause every time they wake up
They gotta think about it
What would you do if you knew the opportunities for your child was 10,000 miles
Away from home, feelin' all alone
That's why I write these poems
And once you get to know em
They kinda like the ocean
Breeze
Be
Who you supposed to be
Who is it I'll become
Where is it that I'm from
And will my children know why I'm singing all these songs
And if you ever feel what I've felt today
Just thank god for everything that done came your way
Perspective is everything
Family is everything
You can achieve anything as long as you can aim
Life is not a game
Are you sure wanna play?
I wrote this for you on the 6th of May
Life is not a game
Are you sure wanna play?
I wrote this for you...
Life is not a game
Are you sure wanna play?
I wrote this for you...
I know where I have been
And where I'll go think I seen you before
I've been so gone it's been so long
Don't leave me now
Don't leave me now
I know where I have been
And where I'll go think I seen you before
I've been so gone it's been so long
Don't leave me now
Don't leave me now
Think I want to tell you that I'm sorry
Don't worry, I been workin' I been earnin'
I been livin' I been honest
I hope you stay the proudest
And I'ma yell my loudest
ILY from PI to HI
Wherever that you fly
The days go by
Next time we say hi
Swear you'll always be mine
Don't trip, don't cry, dry your eyes
We don't got much time but I got you alright?
Everything I dream what my God envisions
Don't try to talk to me about what's wrong and what's right
I know my heart is where the light starts to open your eyes
I can feel it my pulse every time that I write
The good Lord is lookin' down and he thinks I'm alright
He said everything is beautiful that's the under the sky
See cuz I created you in the the image of mine
Well, cotdamn, aren't we flawed
