Mikey Bustos - Pinoy Ako, Filipino Lyrics

I was born and grew up in another country
But I always felt so different never really knowing why
Did my best to try to fit in, and oh yes
I even tried to deny my own heritage inside

But every food I taste
Every PSST I make
Every party I feel myself inside
There's a blood that runs, pride from where I am
called the Philippines

Where the sun meets the waves, trees and mountains
It calls me, Pinoy ako, Filipino
Where the heat warms your heart by the sea lies my country
Pinoy ako, many reasons to be proud to be Filipino

My country, over 7000 islands
Filipinos on these islands
Laugh with heart and smile
Food like you have never ever tasted
Adobo and halo-halo, come let us shave the ice

We respect elders and when times get tough
We just work harder, 'till we're up on top
We are welcoming, hospitality of the Philippines

In a land where they say Mabuhay
It reminds me, pinoy ako, Filipino
In the land of many generations before me
So beautiful, I am a Filipino at Pinoy ako

It's my chocolate skin, smiling eyes
So good looking, in my barong
Dance with bamboo
We can travel afar , start a new life in new countries
Filipino, deep in my soul

Mikey Bustos - F-I-L-I-P-I-N-O Lyrics

I think it’s so cute and kind of flattering
How you’re trying to guess what race I am and kind of struggling
No, I am not hybrid!
I am 100% F to the I-L-I-P-I-N-O

I’m Filipino
I’m not Latino
I’m not Chinese, no
I’m not from Mexico
I’m not from Tokyo
I’m Filipino
F to the I-L-I-P-I-N-O

Goatie I can’t grow
I never look old
I speak tagalong
Just look at my nose
If it’s broad you know, I’m Filipino
F to the I-L-I-P-I-N-O

First, I gotta say just look at my name
Mikey Bustos may sound Spanish
But there’s many clues that indicate to me
I’m a Filipino, look at my dish
There is so much rice look into my eyes
You will notice the slanted eye slope
Here’s a Pinoy tip I point with my lips
This I why I’m a Filipino

If you can tell the difference
Just get all your Asian friends
Take them to Karaoke
And the ones that don’t stop singing
Are Filipino, our skin is coco
We dance with bamboo
Eat halo-halo
I am macho, no? I’m Filipino
F to the I-L-I-P-I-N-O

I’m Filipino I eat adobo
I use a tabo
I’m Filipino, I’m Filipino
I’m Filipino
F to the I-L-I-P-I-N-O

You must understand I eat with my hands
You must grab the rice and pack the meat
Entering my house be shy like a mouse
Remove your sapatos the floor’s clean
Go “bless” to my mom, try to stay calm
She will try to scare you but just know
If you sa “po” she will know you’re cool
‘cause you’re like a Filipino

If you can tell the difference
Gather all your Asian friends
Ask them what’s this for and if they know it’s decoration

They’re Filipino
I bless to Lolo
And I say “opo” for respect, you know
I’m Filipino, I’m Filipino
F to the I-L-I-P-I-N-O

My handwriting’s woah!
A brainer in school
The last piece is “NO”
And if I need to
I pull off “ghetto”
I’m Filipino
F to the I-L-I-P-I-N-O

I use tabo, I use tabo (3x)
F to the I-L-I-P-I-N-O
I kuyakoy, I kuyakoy
I close-open, I close-open
Beautiful eyes, Beautiful eyes
“Beautiful eyes!”

If you can tell the difference
Here is the best test for it
Just do this and if they look at you, then it’s no question
Pssst!

They’re Filipino (3x)
We’re Filipino, we’re Filipino
I’m Filipino
F to the I-L-I-P-I-N-O
We’re born musical
I made the finals
Canadian Idol
I play basketball
Hockey? Terrible!
I’m Filipino
F to the I-L-I-P-I-N-O
I offer some food to Sto. Niño
Duwende, also
I’m Filipino, I’m Filipino
I’m Filipino
F to the I-L-I-P-I-N-O
