Like they said though
"You can take a man out the hood
But you can't take the hood out the man"
Mga kababayan, turn up!
Tayo'y Pilipino
Kahit ano'ng kulay ng balat isasapuso
Mapa-Tagalog, Bisaya, o Ilokano
Walang tatalo sa bagsik ng ating dugo
Isigaw nang malakas ang ating panalo
'Wag nang pag-usapan ang mga negatibong pangyayari
Sa'n mang panig ka na sa mundo
Kinabukasan na natin 'to (panalo)
Yeah, keep runnin' ya mouth when you lyin'
I stay on my business while watchin' you dyin'
I'm takin' my people to heights while you cryin'
'Bout regular livin' and that's what I'm tryna prove
Instead of just lyin' in booths
First true Filipino rapper on the news
Sit, enjoy it if ya cool
Haters can snooze while I put my city on the map
22-double the Olongapo City, no cap
Never forgettin' the street where my cousin would sit
When we always just listen to rap
Kendrick, Em, and A$AP with some metal
And man, we would turn up with that
Been mundane 'til the sun came
Now, I want fame like a kid in the trap, uh
Ayy, I been in Spain (Spain)
But the letter 'S' is silent (pain)
I'm claimin' my reign like a king
So I can water crops for survivin' (rain, rain)
Go away if you trippin' (yuh)
Had a homie, he was crippin' (cuh)
Ain't got no love for the people
Who talk over songs when they claimin' they listen (listen, listen)
These bars never done, uh
Three stars and a sun, ayy
Blue, red draped down on a flag
No, we never fear none
Most of us didn't grow up with a trust fund
Know that I'm willin' to kill for a loved one
I'm on the move from a nothin' to someone
Reminding my people to shout
Tayo'y Pilipino
Kahit ano'ng kulay ng balat isasapuso
Mapa-Tagalog, Bisaya, o Ilokano
Walang tatalo sa bagsik ng ating dugo
Isigaw nang malakas ang ating panalo
'Wag nang pag-usapan ang mga negatibong pangyayari
Sa'n mang panig ka na sa mundo
Kinabukasan na natin 'to ('lam mo na, panalo)
Ayy, kung inakala mong isang lengguwahe lang
Kayang gamitin ni Ez Mil
'La kang mapapala kung ganiyan ka mag-isip
Kay Bathala ka sisingil
Utang na galing sa loob na lumutang
Hinain sa turon na may pusang sinaing sa-
(Mag-Ilokano ka, 'tol!) Ano?
(Ilokano, Ilokano) okay!
Uray no nga imbagak kinyayo ti "ukkinayo"
Dittoy ak laeng ag-ururay no sinno ti agdayo
Tapno eh sang sangitam akin ti wagas mo nga payo
Ngata kay-kayatem nga patayeng ka ken atoy bayo
Sikayo nga am-amin
Lahat kayo, all of you
Ever since bata ako
I've been kinda discriminated in my own home country
Sure, some of you be like
"'La, ang puti-puti mo, tisoy"
I ain't tisoy, I'm Pinoy
And I swear that nobody will ever look at me the same way again
I'll make it to the top while I be showin' nay-sayers
And nanalo na ako no'ng mula pa na pinugutan si Lapu sa Mactan
Lahat ay nasaktan na nalaman nila na pinatay ang kanilang bayani
Sa karagatan ng bansa na pag-aari ng Pilipino
Despite any turmoil, I'll be proud of my soil
Bakit? Kasi
Tayo'y Pilipino
Kahit ano'ng kulay ng balat isasapuso
Mapa-Tagalog, Bisaya, o Ilokano
Walang tatalo sa bagsik ng ating dugo
Isigaw nang malakas ang ating panalo
'Wag nang pag-usapan ang mga negatibong pangyayari
Sa'n mang panig ka na sa mundo
Kinabukasan na natin 'to (panalo)
