The Apl Song Lyrics
[Fergie]
La-la la la la-la la la la la-la la, la la la lala la la la la la

[Chorus in Tagalog]
Lapit mga kaibigan at makinig kayo (Listen up, y'all)
Ako'y may dala-dalang balita galing sa bayan ko (Listen closely, y'all)
Nais kong ipamahagi ang mga kwento
Ng mga pangyayaring nagaganap
Sa lupang pinangako

[English Translation:]
Come closer, my friends, and listen
I bring news from my homeland
I wish to give the stories
Of the events that are happening
In the promised land

[Verse one, Apl.De.Ap]
Every place got a ghetto this my version
Check it out...
Listen closely y'all, I got a story to tell
A version of my ghetto where life felt for real
Some would call it hell but to me it was heaven
God gave me the grace amazin' ways of living
How would you feel if you had to catch a meal?
Build a hut to live and to eat and chill in.
Having to pump the water outta the ground
The way we put it down utilizing what is around
Like land for farming, river for fishing
Everyone helpin' each other whenever they can
We makin' it happen, from nothin' to somethin'
That's how we be survivin' back in my homeland

[Chorus]

[Verse two, Apl.De.Ap]
Yo, its been a while but...
I been back home to my homeland, (check it out) to see what's going on
Man it feels good to be back at home
And it's been a decade, on the journey all alone
I was fourteen when I first left Philippines
I've been away half my life, but it felt like a dream
To be next to my mom with her home cooked meal
Man, I felt complete, my emotions I feel
Now life has changed for me in the U.S
But back at home man, life was a mess...
I guess sometimes life's stresses gets you down
On your knees, oh brother I wish I could have helped you out...

[Chorus]

help me, help me, help me...

Review about The Apl Song

"Never forget where your from, NEVER!" | Reviewer: Filipino.Ako. | 11/13/2007

This song not only reminds us back home but those who still are still living the hard life. From now and then people need a reminder on where you were born and how hard life is growing up. Remind your kids and show em not to take life for granted. Filipino's or other ethnics should remind themselves from time to time what sacrifices people make for the next generation to live a good life.

LOVE it. | Reviewer: redblueandyellowstars | 3/18/2007

The song is definately a winner. While teling a story of poverty and hard living in the Philippines, it brings pride to the Pinoys by showing the world how strong we are and that even though life is hard, we remain joyous. Ahhh love it! It's a plus that it's fun to sing to!

<3<3<3



Love it | Reviewer: Kaylene | 2/20/2007

I really love this song.
Being Filipino& all.
It's crazy how they are from the P.i.
& they made it big.



Proud to be Filipino! Or @ least half lol.. | Reviewer: NaDD | 4/8/2006

This song really hits home. Whenever i listen to the song(Im listening to it rite now) it reminds me of my mum. She was born in Talibon, Bohol in the Philippines and the lyrics are so true!! Life is so hard in the Philippines, way harder than Merica..

Go APL!!!
Go Philippines!!

Lotz-o-luv, NaDD



Lifted From LUPANG PINANGAKO, a song of Filipino Group ASIN | Reviewer: daniel reyes | 3/28/2006

Just for the information of everybody. The portion of the APL SONG of the Black Eyed Peas in FILIPINO lyrics "lapit mga kaibigan..." seems to be literally lifted from an original song of a Filipino group called ASIN from Mindanao, Philippines. This ASIN song, entitled LUPANG PINANGAKO, (meaning, "Land of Promise" as Mindanao is popularly known) expresses concern about the unstable, volatile peace and order situation in the province of Cotabato in particular and the island of Mindanao as whole where many people are displaced, live in fear, and can not move on with their socio-economic life because of armed conflict
