[00:00.00]Lookin Up - Prometheus Brown
[00:28.36]I got that heart of Bonifacio
[00:30.35]Beatin' like a bongo
[00:31.95]Wildin' with Barkada Lola used to call me Gago
[00:35.25]Hella Ilocano Jesus on the walls though
[00:38.61]Lookin' kaka asi with the minds that always follow
[00:41.67]Covered up the picture with my girl french kissin'
[00:44.70]Went swimming with our fingers
[00:46.00]Made our homeboys sniff 'em
[00:48.13]It was different back then Sunday mass ten
[00:51.12]In the morning peepin' cuties in the church bad sin
[00:54.49]My confession was a half-assed repent
[00:56.78]Then a couple Hail Mary's like a quarterback's
[00:59.50]Desperate attempts for the win
[01:01.33]
[01:01.89]My pops watchin' boxing through the fence
[01:04.22]And my uncles playin' chess
[01:05.64]Benson Hedge's cigarettes
[01:07.25]Red handed I was caught
[01:09.12]They laughed when I coughed
[01:10.65]Later on best believe I'm gettin' spanked for the loss
[01:14.00]My pops never finished his thoughts he's like ahhhhh
[01:17.42]
[01:19.58]I'm from a place where the system's still feudal
[01:22.09]And the masses still colonized
[01:23.98]Landlords light skinned
[01:25.58]Stabbin' with their colored eyes
[01:27.28]Wonder why the goods ain't no good so we import
[01:30.33]Things we can make our damn selves and we export
[01:33.61]Fleshbone sister tryna make it home paid
[01:36.26]While my privilege let me look at my plate
[01:38.75]And complain
[01:39.76]Hit the stage to get treated
[01:41.21]Like I'm better than the fan
[01:42.98]When the fan is for real
[01:44.50]I just get it where I can
[01:46.15]And my dad
[01:46.95]Like to mispronounce words when he mad
[01:49.50]So forgive me if I scream
[01:51.10]"puckin' sh*t god damn"
[01:52.77]It's the blood of a Visaya but we never said "sire"
[01:55.58]
[01:56.11]Where the Spanish fought hard
[01:57.77]But the fighter never tire
[01:59.07]To the South
[01:59.95]Where the Moros find it difficult to swallow
[02:02.22]Where treaty of Paris marries the North
[02:04.85]They don't follow
[02:05.86]From the bottom of a bottle
[02:07.45]To the middle of a joint
[02:09.00]Brown people fat noses
[02:10.48]Use our lips when we point
[02:11.79]
[02:12.77]We grit our teeth and work through it all day
[02:15.35]Like Prometheus Brown sprainin' his knee on stage
[02:18.67]Push forward through the pain
