Story behind the song
its basically my social commentary on issues
Lyrics
how the hell did we end up like this?
reminisce.
how did we drop deep into this mis
guided place with scars and cuts
in a third world rut
peoples brains are shut
bein treated like a whore
by the reds and whites
with their guns, goons, and gore
we couldnt put a fight
how did majority of this country
become a shitload of poverty
and everybody's unhappy
uneducated and unemployed,
most of the time underrated and even exploited
by those motherfuckers of a different race
who have the money, thinking we are under their grace
yo,how did the masses come to be
driven by pathos and mentality
constantly relying on fucked up beliefs
carelessly adding another child on the street
how did we end up sacrificing real art
in the part when they stoop down low for a show
to take advantage
of the lower-class masses watching tv
and those comanies
getting their rates up, advertuising non-stop
brainwashing deception they preach to leech the masses
of their little food money
but i know...
(chorus)
i live by
getting on my knees to pray
i live by
always tryin to make a way
coz i live by
sayin everything will be okay
and i live by
night coz i die everyday
I live by
believeing in what i can be
I live by
achieving more than i can see
I live by
my pride and my dignity
and I aint lettin anybody
try to step on me
how did we end up turning on the tv
and gettin a load of crap
of brainless predictable soaps, and stupid gag shows
and gameshows for the masses that claim to help out by giving a few thousand bucks but gettin millions back
makin the rich richer, and the poor poorer coz it so happens that the poor are the most in number
how did we end up with these fucked up politicians
i dont even wanna talk about that.
why are the real musicians left broke and unnoticed
when the stupids and senseless get all the money
which still proves the point that a penny from each of the low-class mass would make any music charlatan
rich as long as he supplies their dire need of entertainment in a level that their minds could reach.
why do the better educated middle-class masses
end up takin calls 3am in the morning
serving another race from another place
and sometimes takes all the abuse when
customers blow a fuse
we have to put up with their stupidity
some motherfucker broke his pc
so he calls
and asks, "are you filipino"
damn right i am, i take a shower everyday too
unlike you
why is it such an ambition in this country to be a nurse
or caregivers then follow the curse of gettin out of their motherland, but i cant blame them coz there's money at hand
coz if all the nurses come back and stay,the government cant make a way, for them to stay and not be broke and unemployed, jobless, and feelin helpless
i cant stand the fact that this country's top export product is actually the flesh and blood of women and mothers cleanin toilets in a foreign land, they would pass wiping foreigner a ss,
then get raped, and abused and then killed and get used and get bombed, and get hurt, and end up eating dirt
maybe hit by a car, maybe caught in a war
they never asked for it
then they come home in a casket
i dont know... why does it have to always be filipino
say hello, to our friends from S.K. they got soul comin here, pardon the pun my dear
they come by the flock, bringin in their stock
and it knocks me out how they even think about bringin in
fifteen children all for studyin
tryin to fulfill their wish
to be good in english
then they hire just any local
who think they could teach
and the real good teachers
get fifty bucks each
and thats per hour
you see the power these asian neighbors
have over us
is that they got the money
and they start to exploit us
filipinos get hired and fired in a day
no such thing as legality
as long as they pay
and the worst part of this is that these filipino teachers give in to the minuscule pay anyw
