Seven Core

[Intro]
Seven hearts
One flame
Seven dreams
One name (yeah)
[Verse 1]
I came from the tricycle rides
Coin counting, late night tide
Mama praying in the back room
“Anak, make the sky your classroom”
Now I’m on a stage with my sisters
Same scars, different pictures
Every “no” that we swallowed
Turned into the wings we followed
[Pre-Chorus]
We were told to sit down, stay small
We were told that we’d never stand tall
But I turn every fear into force
Every slow step into a sprint, of course (go)
[Chorus]
We are the seven core
From the islands to your door
Turn the wounds into armor
Every “less” into “more”
Hands up for the seven core (hey!)
Feel the ground start to roar
From the front row to back door
Sing it loud, this is seven core
[Verse 2]
Brown skin, sun-kissed truth
Same streets, different youth
Taglish on my tongue when I pray
But I dream in a big world way
They tried to draw our borders
We rewrote all the orders
Put our fears in a suitcase
Left them at the old place
[Pre-Chorus]
We were told to sit down, stay small
We were told that we’d never stand tall
But I turn every doubt into light
Every wrong word into my birthright (yeah)
[Chorus]
We are the seven core
From the islands to your door
Turn the wounds into armor
Every “less” into “more”
Hands up for the seven core (oh!)
Feel the ground start to roar
From the front row to back door
Sing it loud, this is seven core
[Bridge – Rap]
Came up on a budget, slippers on my feet
Now it’s custom on the carpet, team of seven deep (skrrt)
Every little comment, tried to cut me in half
But I doubled every limit, do the victory math
Who said a girl from the tropics
Can’t top all your topics
We don’t fit in their pockets
We’re the ones that unlock it (click)
From the barangay halls to the world tour map
Put the flag on my back while my sisters all clap (hey!)
[Chorus]
We are the seven core
From the islands to your door
Turn the wounds into armor
Every “less” into “more”
Hands up for the seven core
Feel the ground start to roar
From the front row to back door
Sing it loud, this is seven core (seven core)
