We Could Ask More

Refrain.

We could still smile when the flood’s 

knee deep

Put all our hopes on celebrities

We’ll survive tragedies, trust on resiliency

We would go poor just to make them rich

We would pay all of their fancy shit

They deserve everything, voted to be our kings

We could ask more, we could ask more

We could ask, we could ask, we could ask more

We could ask more, we could ask more

We could ask, we could ask, we could ask more.

I.

I’m a Filipino, of course I work abroad

I’m only 28, got a family to support

Wished to do it back home, but if I get sick I’m broke

And if I stepped on wrong shoes, then straight to jail I go.

I am used to the heat, the traffic I can bear

We do a little gossiping, that’s drama I can get

But when everyone is outsmarting everyone

And tryna beat the system, then that game cannot be won.

(Repeat refrain)

II.

I get homesick, I miss my friends

I’m feeling like a foreigner in my own land

And my family, just talks money with me

I’m starting to be turning to a bank machine.

And every year, a new tragedy

It’s the biggest typhoon man has ever seen

Was everyone safe, is our house okay?

We may be living on but our spirits in the grave.

(Repeat refrain)
