Barriers (feat. Aaliyah Bancod)

(Yeah) (Ooh) (Mhmm) If only you can see through my heart You find the reason why I'm making it far Through my people, how the story embarks Pull up to your blocking every corner Every city we march Harder to knock pakitang gilas Let em know who you are Payin hommage to my momma Beatin' the system at large Raisin 3 kids in America, Took the chance to restart With no priority lanes The back n forth to Manila Then leaving all that remains Hoping new land could fulfill us Finally here Head up like we fear no colors Freedom revealed more for us Hope that could see no borders Uray narigat ag yaman kami Lahat kakayanin So when you sit at my table Datay amin manganen Go ahead and pass me the kanin brother Aint letting you down Carry the weight that you've been lifting Just to get a pound The struggle, worth more than pesos Face up, need no explanation Basta Pinoy ang ugat You can never break us Sabi nila hindi mo kaya Ngunit hindi nila alam Kahit sa hirap may ligaya Ang para sayoy naka abang Taas ang noo walang susuko Laksan ng loob ipakita Pawis at dugo ay sakripisio Di ka nag iisa, di nag iisa No matter how high No matter how low When my back's against the wall I know what I'm fighting for No matter how high No matter how low When my back's against the wall I know what I'm fighting for No matter how high No matter how low When my back's against the wall I know what I'm fighting for No matter how high No matter how low When my back's against the wall I know what I'm fighting for (Yeah) As a kid I couldn't understand it then Why they gotta leave the land Time and time again Puzzle with missing pieces I couldn't complete it man Buksan balikbayan boxes With empty promises and Bitter parang ampalaya But I didn't know any better Pampalaya pala When wages ain't enough to raise ya kids Sacrifices had to be made in ways of this If Brunei and Saudi Arabia Had money to pay ya Can't deny if it paid the Refrigerator full, no tuition late for school Aint nothin I can do but hope and Pray to see y'all soon If it was heavy for me gano kaya kabigat Gano kadaming ipon Just for you and ma to be back All I had to do was live but What you had to do was give up So many birthdays and moments missed What used to be a kiss now Traumas I have to dismiss I'm sorry this had to be your story But I want you to see Who I've become is your glory Salamat sa sacripisyo niyo Patawad sa kung anumang naging bisyo ko I realize everything I've gained is through your pain But It was never in vain Now your strength is ingrained No matter how high No matter how low When my back's against the wall I know what I'm fighting for No matter how high No matter how low When my back's against the wall I know what I'm fighting for No matter how high No matter how low When my back's against the wall I know what I'm fighting for No matter how high No matter how low When my back's against the wall I know what I'm fighting for (Yeah)
