Letra
I wish I could go back
Even though I'm far away
I'm thinking about you everyday
Back to Pilipinas
I wish I could go back
Even though I'm far away
I'm thinking bout you everyday
Back to Pilipinas
Mama we made it but I was not made for America
Yeah we only here cause of the Colonizer's wander lust
Why we in green pastures when our people been stuck in the mud?
Yeah my tongue is English pero Tagalog ang kaluluwa
How'd I end up full as a model minority's wallet but my
People's bellies been as empty as a politician's promise?
Am I Enrique of Malacca in España? Con El Padre
Miss my Motherland mula sa Tawi Tawi hanggang Batanes
So now I'm dancing through Diaspora I'll teach all ya'll the choreo
7,000 miles away my hyphen is the longer road
Spoke in Tongues from my arkipelago musta caught the Holy Ghost so whether
I'm near or far from home, Pilipino pa ako, ITM
I wish I could go back
Even though I'm far away
I'm thinking about you everyday
Back to Pilipinas
I wish I could go back
Even though I'm far away
I'm thinking bout you everyday
Back to Pilipinas
Got me missing Ilocos, took a boat to the north coast
Better when you solo, get a perspective you don't know
The essence adulthood overcome my whole scope
I mean my ancestors knew answers where the plants grew
Read the sea tides with a keen eye and advanced through
Storms and sea floors that raised above the land
I'm missing all my uncles, my cousins all my aunts and
If I ever go back they greet me with open hands
The chosen land float ocean catamaran
Watch the sunset retract and the constellations diffract
Folklore from the elders - bamboo under chinelas
Tell em my only wish is I'm dreaming of going back, till I'm back
I wish I could go back
Even though I'm far away
I'm thinking about you everyday
Back to Pilipinas
I wish I could go back
Even though I'm far away
I'm thinking bout you everyday
Back to Pilipinas
I wish I could go back
Even though I'm far away
I'm thinking about you everyday
Back to Pilipinas
I wish I could go back
Even though I'm far away
I'm thinking bout you everyday
Back to Pilipinas
