I’m from Union City/ rep it like graffiti/
Now livin’ in Hollywood, feel good in this city/
But home is overseas/ come fly/ if you with me/
The Philippines/ where the roots grew in the beginning/
Now shoots through the roof/ see the sky is the ceiling/
I see you Nanay,/ smile/ I hope you still forgive me/
Jeepneys sittin’ in/ On the boats fishin’/
Mangoes mixed in/ I wanna go visit/ visit
*And not come back/
I packed four boxes don’t bother to hold me back/
I got my cousins, ate’s and kuya’s, and Lolo Dad/
Tito’s, tita’s, ninong’s, and ninang’s, are who I have/
I know the homeland, has its own drama/
But maybe if I was there man/ I could help solve it//
‘Cause I’m a dreamer/ that’s what my dream is/
It was all a dream/ no wonder, I dream BIG/
Someday I’ll be there to say “I’ll be here”/
Red Horse, San Mig Light, what we drink here/
Crispy pata, sisig/ what we eat here/
Ang lahat ng pamilya ko/ who I’ll see here/ (soon)

No matter where I’m staying/ find me with a smile/
Running across the city, try to chase me down/
My heart goes to the Philippines/
It got me wishing from dream to dream/ (hey, hey)
So I’m just going to hope the next time/ I open my eyes now/
We will be together/ this gon’ be the best trip ever/

Las Pinas City/ and Cavite/
Feel on top of the world/ like driving on the skyway/
Hey/ getting taho in the morning/
It’s summer but outside it’s pouring/
I wanna have a good time/ everybody know/
Playing monopoly deal with my cousins in the room/
This is just how we do/ like Filipino food/
Make sure to bring my cam/ catch it all on video/
‘Cause when I be in the states/ everybody gone/
All I got are FaceTime, memories, and this song/
I hold onto the moment/ like the last call/
I wanna travel again like basketball/
If I could/ I’d bring ‘em here/ I’m aware of my privilege/
Americans can travel anywhere/ in an instant// it is/
Unfair/ I wish they could be right here/
So we can live together, just live life here/

No matter where I’m staying/ find me with a smile/
Running across the city, try to chase me down/
My heart goes to the Philippines/
It got me wishing from dream to dream/ (hey, hey)
So I’m just going to hope the next time/ I open my eyes now/
We will be together/ this gon’ be the best trip ever/
