_ _ [F#] _ _ [Em] Y'all, every place got a ghetto.
This is my version of Maapjene.
_ _ Listen closely, y'all.
I got a story to tell.
[B] A version of my [Bm] ghetto where life felt for [Em] real.
Some would call it hell, but to me, it was [B] heaven.
God gave me the greatest amazing ways of [C] living.
How would you feel if you had to catch [D] a mill, build a hut,
to live in, to eat [Em] and chill in?
Having to pump the [Bm] water out of the ground, and the way we put it down,
utilizing what is [C] around, like land for farming, river for [D] fishing.
Everyone helping each other whenever [Em] they can.
We're making it happen.
From nothing to something, that's how we've been surviving back in my homeland.
Listen _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ [Em] up, y'all.
_ _ [B] _ _ Listen [C] closely, y'all.

_ It's been a while, but I've been back home, back in my homeland.
Check out what's going on.
Man, it feels good to be back at home.
[B] And it's been a [Bm] decade on a journey all alone.
[Em] I was 14 when I first left the Philippines.
[B] I've been away [Bm] half my life, and it felt like a dream.
[C] Good to be next to my mom with her own cook meal.
[D] Man, I felt complete, my emotions I feel [Em] now.
Life has changed for me in [Bm] the U.S.,. but back at home, man, life was a mess. [C] I guess sometimes life's best just gets [D] you down. On your [Em] knees, oh, brother, wish I could have helped you out. _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _
Listen [Em] up, y'all. _ _ _ [B] _ [Bm] _ Listen [C] closely, y'all. It's been a while, _ _ _ [D] _ but I've been back home, [Em] back in my homeland. _ [B] _ [G] _ _ [E] _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ [Em] _ _
