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 ay 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
San 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 Cripn' (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 ay 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
San 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 SINNO

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 AmPuTi 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 MULA 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 ay 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
San mang panig ka
Nasa mundo
Kinabukasan na natin 'to
Panalo!
