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 anong kulay ng balat, isasapuso
Mapa-Tagalog, Bisaya, o Ilokano
Walang tatalo sa bagsik ng ating dugo
Isigaw ng malakas ang ating panalo
'Wag nang pagusapan ang mga negatibong pangyayari
Sa'n mang panig ka nasa 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' & that's what I'm tryna prove
'Stead 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, & A$AP with some metal
And man we would turn up with that
Been mundane till the sun came
Now I want fame like a kid in the trap uh
Aye
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
3 stars and a sun, aye
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 anong kulay ng balat isasapuso
Mapa-Tagalog, Bisaya, o Ilokano
Walang tatalo sa bagsik ng ating dugo
Isigaw ng malakas ang ating panalo
'Wag nang pagusapan ang mga negatibong pangyayari
Sa'n mang panig ka nasa mundo
Kinabukasan na natin 'to ('lam mo na)
(Woo!) panalo!
Aye
Huh, aye
Kung inakala mong isang lenggwahe lang kayang gamitin ni Ez Mil
'La kang mapapala kung ganyan ka magisip
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 sinnobti agdayo
Tapno eh sang sangitam ak inte 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 would be like:
"Luh 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 nung una pa na pinugutan si Lapu sa Mactan
At lahat ang nasaktan na nalaman nila na pinatay
Ang kanilang bayani sa karagatan ng bansa na pag-aari ng Pilipino
Despite any termoil
I'll be proud of my soil
Bakit?
Kase
Tayo'y Pilipino
Kahit anong kulay ng balat, isasapuso
Mapa-Tagalog, Bisaya, o Ilokano
Walang tatalo sa bagsik ng ating dugo
