-- LYRICS --
[Verse 1]
Yeah, uh, another cycle, another grind, man, the struggle ain't through
Woke up in the dark, three hours sleep, that's what I'm goin' through.
Call center floor, the headphones on, voice tired, but the spirit's strong
Para sa pamilya ko, I gotta push on, where I truly belong.
My stomach growlin' low, but the pantry's lookin' sparse
Sardines on rice, konting toyo, just to get me past these stars.
Walkin' in the rain, no umbrella, yeah, my clothes are gettin' soaked
But the fire in my belly for that diploma ain't revoked.

[Chorus]
Yeah, this ain't easy, bro, the uphill climb is real
But my heart's on fire, this hunger, man, you know the deal.
See my peers with ease, their paths a smoother, clearer line
While I'm grindin' solo, making every effort mine.
Kasi, education, that's my only way out, my only light
To break this poverty cycle, make my family's future bright.
Laban lang, tuloy lang, kahit pagod, kahit hirap, yeah
Gotta make it, gotta rise, for my future, no looking back.

[Verse 2]
Saw my classmates chillin', easy smiles, no worries in their eyes
Wish I had that comfort, man, sometimes I can't disguise
The envy creepin' in, for a moment, just a fleeting thought
Then I snap back to reality, the battle I have fought.
Got a big fam to feed, younger siblings lookin' up to me
I'm the designated hero, yeah, that's how it's gotta be.
From the books to the calls, from the streets to the classroom's glare
Every single step I take, I know someone else is there.

[Chorus]
Yeah, this ain't easy, bro, the uphill climb is real
But my heart's on fire, this hunger, man, you know the deal.
See my peers with ease, their paths a smoother, clearer line
While I'm grindin' solo, making every effort mine.
Kasi, education, that's my only way out, my only light
To break this poverty cycle, make my family's future bright.
Laban lang, tuloy lang, kahit pagod, kahit hirap, yeah
Gotta make it, gotta rise, for my future, no looking back.

[Bridge]
Sometimes I wanna quit, man, the weight feels too much to bear
But then I see their faces, the hope, the love, the care.
And I remember why I'm here, why I gotta stand so tall
To build a better life, gotta give it my all.
No sleep, no food, no comfort, it's a sacrifice I make
For that stable income, for my family's sake.

[Chorus]
Yeah, this ain't easy, bro, the uphill climb is real
But my heart's on fire, this hunger, man, you know the deal.
See my peers with ease, their paths a smoother, clearer line
While I'm grindin' solo, making every effort mine.
Kasi, education, that's my only way out, my only light
To break this poverty cycle, make my family's future bright.
Laban lang, tuloy lang, kahit pagod, kahit hirap, yeah
Gotta make it, gotta rise, for my future, no looking back.

[Outro]
Yeah, for my future, for my family, you know the vibes...
Stay strong, keep your head up, that's the life.
