Mama Filipina

Mama, mama filipina

I never meant to give you up

I had to move to america

Mama, mama filipina

I never meant to give you up

I had to move to america

Listen everybody i got somethin to say

About the place where i came from back in the days

How we used to run around outside in the rain

And we didn't have much but we had everything

I'm reminiscing how we used to be

Fresh fruits, blue sand but no equality

Where the rich stay rich

And the poor stay poor

But if you look inside there's so much more

Now it's a simple life

Can't forget what it's like

Weather so warm you can even swim in the night

But we still want to taste that american life, life

American life

Mama, mama filipina

I never meant to give you up

I had to move to america

Mama, mama filipina

I never meant to give you up

I had to move to america

I remember how we used to be

Growing up in the land of poverty

Now you gotta leave home

To feed the family

Gotta make it in the land of opportunity

Politician corrupting the economy

How they plan to buy the lies of the currencies

And they fail to see the sight and the real beleif

Of my philippine island, beaches with white sands

Hot springs made from volcanoes erupting

How people make life from nothing to something

Filipina mama raising me right

For she still wanna taste that american life

Mama, mama filipina

I never meant to give you up

I had to move to america

Mama, mama filipina

I never meant to give you up

I had to move to america

I just wanna show you that i missed ya

I just gotta show you that i missed ya

Miss ya, miss ya

I just wanna show you that i missed ya

I just gotta show you that i missed ya

Miss ya, miss ya

And i never gonna let you goooo..
