Tondo [2008]

Tondo [2008]

Dedicated to the legacy of Philippines independence leader Andres Bonifacio and the legacy of resistance and revolution that flourishes from Tondo, a barrio of Manila. 
 

Lyrics and Music: Paul Bolick-Mausisa

Djembe: Featuring Jesse

Verse I I was born in a sqatter’s town

Down here in poverty

But my mama always sung to me

Of our people’s will to be free

Verse II So lord please don’t look upon me

With eyes of disdain or pity

Just give me strength and courage tonight

‘Bout to get together and make things right

Chorus Oooooh, yeah yeah yeah x2

I’ve got to pickup pickup pickup what my father left for me

I’ve got to getup getup getup now brothers fight to be free

I’ve got to pickup pickup pickup what my mother left for me

I’ve got to getup getup getup now children unite to be free

Verse III I’ve got my back up against the wall

With mountain of false evidence pointed at me

But if fighting for my people is a crime,

Then guilty oh guilty I will plead

Chorus

Bridge We aint gonna wait for no false prophecy

And we ain’t got no friends in a high society

So get up get up cause there’s no where to turn

Ignite the light n fire watch Babylon burn

So how long oh how long, shall we suffer in peace?

March in arms now for life justice and dignity

Outro [War tribute to tito bob]

Katipunan rise!
