Bibingka

You can make it happen if you just keep the faith You can make it happen if you just keep the faith
Bibingka, I always liked it before them Filipinos get-togethers where the vibes was pure
We at the Pacquiao fight, bout to start a riot Lola's holding Santo Niño's while the streets was quiet
Seems like the only times together be the funerals and fights
While trying to make it day to day between the darkest nights
I hold it down for mom, seen the future in my palm
Then I spelt it out in plain sight, the storm before the calm
Bibingka, the memories of a 90's youth
That first sip of brew, San Miguel top screw
Shoes off before house, pull up a plate let's lounge
Pancit, Lumpia, and Lechon's all around
Bibingka, ain't nothing sweet when it's gone
Them days I used to miss was rich, the feelings was strong
Playing Dreamcast with cousins, Ate's in the kitchen
Ninongs playing Mahjong, money long, it's tradition
Bibingka, I took a trip to the Philippines
And came back to face the rat race guillotine
I'm heated like adobo, living in this Modern bubble
Count blessings, never stressing, trying to stay up out of trouble
Bibingka, it's hard to bake out here
When your family ain't near, and your options ain't clear
Gotta get it right regardless, no struggle, no progress
Before Bibingka was baked, we had to learn the process
