Lyrics

Island woman rise, walang makakatigil Brown, brown woman, rise, alamin ang yung ugat They got nothin' on us (aye!) Nothin' on us (aye!) Nothin' on us (aye!) Nothin' on us Island woman rise, walang makakatigil Brown, brown woman, rise, alamin ang yung ugat They got nothin' on us (aye!) Nothin' on us (aye!) Nothin' on us (aye!) Isang bagsak! Yo fuck a story arc if it don't involve no matriarchs Our mothers work from the ground up, they craftin' air like ATR With the butterfly sleeves naka Filipiniana Pag nagsalita mga banat ay bala 'Wag magtaka kung ako ay makata Bulok na sistema, korakot sa pera, bagsak! But we puttin' our heart into darkness They puttin' these pigs into office Oh you thinkin' you schoolin'? But you hella lost 'cuz you Betsy Devos while I taught this But Look at my ate she movin so cold Can't hold a candle to her when she glow Flick of the wrist with the ilaw she hold Pandanggo sa Ilaw, she drippin' in gold We pullin' up in a Jeepney All of my soldiers greet me Hand me bandanas and pull back my hammer It's warfare, when you see me Skin you alive for my country, I live and die for my country I kill a pig in a white hooded suit on the low... for my country They got evil plans in the devil's hands, but I don't pray cuz I organize They got new ways to impose strength But I teach mine how to mobilize We don't fight for the money, for the greedy, for the white man All we want is our freedom And the right to live on on our motherland Island woman rise, walang makakatigil Brown, brown woman, rise, alamin ang yung ugat They got nothin' on us (aye!) Nothin' on us (aye!) Nothin' on us (aye!) Nothin' on us Island woman rise, walang makakatigil Brown, brown woman, rise, alamin ang yung ugat They got nothin' on us (aye!) Nothin' on us (aye!) Nothin' on us (aye!) Isang bagsak! Goddess of guerilla warfare in every lifetime We don't take no shit except an oppressor's lifeline If you step out of your line, I will protect what's mine Kahit merong rosaryo, sinong magliligtas sa'yo? Puro dugo, pugot ulo, mula sa dagat hanggang mundo Reclaiming what ours, the high and the low These women are Gods, you already know Roots deeper than water that run in our village The river runs red, you'll be dead in a minute Like Nieves Fernandez, have you beheaded Fuck with my tribe, quickly regret it Abaniko sa kamay at isang mikropono sabay At ang tapang ko gaya ng inay, at halimaw na ang sumasabay Mga bara nyo lahat sablay, mga rappers na puro bangkay Tinamaan ko lahat, patay, kaya, walang magiingay I got that, Filipino phenotype: kayumanggi, mestizo-white But give me that moreno like that Rufio or Keno type My lolas they be speaking like, those balisongs or bolo knife I breathe the ether need no hype Two tongues that's sharper with a mic Anino in my history like from a land where greed is weaved in tight They thieve until one piso might just turn to C-Notes, see no light Hacienda like Aquino, right? Rodrigo vigilante type-- They kill my titos left and right, when smoke and mirrors fill the night So let it be known, if you don't already Pinays have always been part, and parcel, if not, imperative and critical to the struggle Filipinas are no strangers to wielding our own power Of all the privileges that exist in this world, none of which you may be a benefactor of There is at least one you bear And that is the privilege of having been born a Filipina Your DNA contains building blocks made from the mud of over 500 years of resistance and survival And when you are ready, sis, we'll be right here Island woman rise, walang makakatigil Brown, brown woman, rise, alamin ang yung ugat They got nothin' on us (aye!) Nothin' on us (aye!) Nothin' on us (aye!) Nothin' on us Island woman rise, walang makakatigil Brown, brown woman, rise, alamin ang yung ugat They got nothin' on us (aye!) Nothin' on us (aye!) Nothin' on us (aye!) Isang bagsak!
