Flava Matikz:
You know where we at
And you know where we from "Q-YORK!"
So lets put it together
K.L.!!!!
Knowa Lazarus:
Welcome to the Philippines /
Manila be the city Yeah /
I moved to the motherland /
Now I got a home here /
Got a lot of slick talk /
Everybody hustlin /
Gotta put a stop to corruption in the government /
Little kids in the street beggin for the sindicato /
Gangsters getting rich off the work of a little child /
Billboards everywhere EDSA, Shaw boulevard /
Lifes hard thats why we all pray to god /
Smog in the air from the bus, cars, jeepneys /
People in the street all the time never empty /
Mall of Asia, Mega Mall, SM City, Trinoma /
Greenbelt, Greenhills, bargain with the shop owner /
City of Extremities /
Wealthy and the Poverty /
Time to bridge the gap /
Bring together our society /
Walk with humility /
Smile at Adversity /
Fight Like a Warrior /
Yeah this is our City! //
[Chorus]
Chelo:
Manila
Concrete jungle where all the kids roam
Its hard but we keep strong
This is Manila
No matter where youre from
We make you feel at home
This is Manila, Nila, Nilaaaa //
Knowa Lazarus:
You gon see street dogs /
Here we callem Askal /
Hot year round you a long way from Moscow /
GSM Vodka, Tanduay, Lambanog /
Red Horse, San Miguel, local types of alcohol /
Girls in the club be flocking to the foreigners /
Hopefully get hitched move somewhere maybe Florida? /
Put your ear to the street you could hear the heartbeat /
Old man grinning on the corner with no teeth /
OGs tatted up /
Businessmen laptops /
On the phone-line yo they work nights sleep days /
Call center agents /
We all trying to make it /
Ballers on the court play /
All day with no shoes /
Driving on the road you'd /
Think we got no rules /
Green archers /
Blue eagles /
Red lions everywhere /
Fans in the crowd cheer /
Packed at the coliseum /
Araneta coming soon /
Yall better stay tuned! //
[Chorus]
Kenjhons:
Even if your not /
From here its alright /
As long as you got Love /
Its the place to be /
Dont get it just from me /
It's for yall to see /
So many beautiful people /
Been around the world /
But its nothing like home /
Its the spirit /
Can you feel it? /
Best believe it /
Ooo I'm in Love /
Knowa Lazarus:
Im in love with a girl nah /
Im love with the city where Im from now /
From Makati, Q.C. down to High Street /
Marikina, Las Pinas, even Pasig /
Uhh /
Im in love with a girl nah /
Im love with the city where Im from now /
Mandaluyong, San Juan, Malabon iz on /
Tondo to Pasay Yes I represent /
[Chorus]
amen to this song.

@filipinofear13 - WE DON'T WANNA BE KOREANS. WE JUST ADMIRE THEM. BUT IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT WE DON'T RESPECT OUR COUNTRY. I'm proud to be a filipino.
