Larry Itliong (feat. Aj Rafael)
What happens when our history's not on the page? (Yeah)
There's something missing that our schools just don't say
So maybe it's time that we put our stories where they belong
And show respect to Larry Itliong
(Itliong) Larry Itliong
(Itliong) Larry Itliong
Came from the Philippines
To the States with fifty dollars and a dream
Became a farm worker, they wasn't paying enough
So he organized a strike with the team
When he went to Stockton, met the AWOC
Working with Cesar Chavez closely
Mexicans and Filipinos unite
Teaming up for the Delano Grape Strike
They gathered up 2000 faces
To protest the low wages
Five years later, they had their way
That's why we got Larry Itliong Day today (Yeah)
What happens when our history's not on the page? (Yeah)
There's something missing that our schools just don't say
So maybe it's time that we put our stories where they belong
And show respect to Larry Itliong

There's something missing that our schools just don't say
