Self-Scribed Lyrics

Okay, that's so dope

Michelin's in Costa Rica, that's so awesome

What? Costa Rica?

I hate you so much

Finally I can breathe, the silence was created just for me

Mama asked me to find Him, but it wasn't so easy to believe

In attempt to find peace, Michael asked me to look into my soul

In the mirror, he told me: in the love, in the heat, you've found, found a new home

The love, the heat, I've found a new home

The love, the heat, I've found a new soul

The love, the heat, I've found a new home

The love, the heat, I've found a new soul

If you take the chance you're given

You can't blame it on the life you're livin'

Trade it in for the ones you love the most

Or that's your own damn fault

Look at little Lano comin' down from this high

A forgotten story told from an immigrant's eye

Fantasize, hypothesize, if I'd never left the P.I.

If I'd be something more than a product of papa's supply

In Manila, strugglin' to fly across the sea

In a home self-scribed in the key of Scott Key

In a white household with a curly-headed dream

Ignorant to a carousel of demi-gods and fiends

So dramatic, so theatric, but no longer an addict

An erratic force of habit from a model demographic

Not a doctor, not a fighter; a singer-songwriter

In quotes I'm described an occupational liar

There's a fire transpired from a center down below

In a world black and white, where's the fight for brown or yellow though?

A stone already thrown, so I'm letting go of home

But at least in the heat, never again will I feel alone, sige?

If you take the chance you're given (If you take, if you)

You can't blame it on the life you're livin'

Trade it in for the ones you love the most

Or that's your own damn fault

Nevertheless I'm pressed by the pressure of success

To test the less oppressed rest who are the best dressed

Lest we find another, protest to protect each other

I'll never feel content 'til I have a relationship with my brother

And my sisters back home, a father I've never known

It's my own damn fault I'm a myth from their unknown

Will they see me as their kuya? Will it take a hallelujah?

Prove my words can guide me through ya, I gotta sing it to ya with

The love, the heat, I've found a home (I've found a new home)

The love, the heat, I've found a soul (I've found a new soul)

The love, the heat, I've found a home (I've found a new home)

The love, the heat, I've found a soul (I've found a new soul)

Finally I can breathe, the silence was created just for me

And it's not that there's no sorry, mama, I'm just terrified to be

In attempt to find peace, the rhythm found its, found its way into my soul

My brother he told me, in the love in the heat, we're missing you back home

Well, that's my own damn fault
