Prompt / Lyrics
Intro (Spoken Call-Out) Yeah! From the islands to the world, you already know! Hard work, heart strong — let’s go! Verse 1 Wake up early ‘fore the sunrise glow, Mama in the kitchen, daddy out the door, Balikbayan dreams in a suitcase tight, Work all day, still laugh all night. Two jobs, three jobs, still we smile wide, Family first, that’s the Pinoy pride, From the barrio roads to the city lights, We build that future brick by brick, right? Pre-Chorus (Call & Response) When I say “Sipag,” you say “Tiyaga!” Sipag! — Tiyaga! Sipag! — Tiyaga! Hard work now, blessings later, Keep that faith, see you greater! Chorus (Dance Step Hook) To the left now — hustle hard! To the right now — thank the Lord! Step back — save that pay, Two steps forward — grind all day! Clap your hands if you know that grind, Family on your heart and your faith in mind, Turn it around, show that shine — That’s that Filipino hustle time! Verse 2 Nurse on night shift, sailor at sea, Engineers building opportunity, Caregivers with a gentle touch, Giving the world so much, so much. Send that money back home quick, Helping cousins start that biz, From Manila streets to foreign shores, Filipino hustle opens doors. Pre-Chorus (Call & Response) When I say “Bayan,” you say “Ko!” Bayan! — Ko! Bayan! — Ko! Lift your people when you rise, Success shared multiplies! Chorus (Dance Step Hook) To the left now — dream big! To the right now — work big! Step back — plan that play, Two steps forward — seize the day! Clap it up for the overseas grind, For every sacrifice behind, Turn around, let them see you climb — That’s that Filipino hustle shine! Bridge (Break It Down) We don’t quit, we don’t fold, Strong like gold, stories untold, From jeepney rides to corporate goals, Heart of a warrior, steady souls. Serve with honor, lead with grace, Smile bright in every place, Island roots but global pace — Filipino fire you can’t replace! Final Chorus (Big Energy) To the left now — family first! To the right now — quench that thirst! Step back — invest that pay, Two steps forward — pave the way! Clap it up for every line, Every overtime that built that climb, Turn around — let the world rewind, That’s that Filipino hustle grind! Outro (Call-Out) Sipag! Tiyaga! Heart strong — all day, every day! Pinoy hustle… okay! 🕺🏽🇵🇭
