Verse 1:
Every place got a ghetto this is my version
Check it out...

 Em7
Listen closely yo, I got a story to tell
 Bm7
A version of my ghetto where life felt for real
 Em7
Some would call it hell but to me it was heaven
 Bm7
God gave me the grace, amazin' ways of living
 C
How would you feel if you had to catch your meal?
 D
Build a hut to live and to eat and chill in.
 Em7
Having to pump the water outta the ground
 Bm7
The way we put it down utilizing what is around
 C
Like land for farming, river for fishing
 D
Everyone helpin' each other whenever they can
 Em7
We makin' it happen, from nothin' to somethin'

That's how we be survivin' back in my homeland.

[Chorus]

Verse 2:
Yo, its been a while but...
I been back home to my homeland, (check it out) to see what's going on

 Em7
Man it feels good to be back at home
 Bm7
And it's been a decade, on the journey all alone
 Em7
I was fourteen when I first left Philippines
 Bm7
I've been away half my life, but it felt like a day
 C
To be next to my mom with her home cooked meal
 D
Meant I felt complete, my emotions I feel!
 Em7
Now life has changed for me in the U.S
 Bm7
But back at home man, life was a mess...
 Cmaj                                      D
I guess sometimes life's stresses gets you down (on your knees)
 Em7
Oh brother I wish I could have helped you out...

[Chorus]
