Laban, mga tambay

Lagpasan mga hamon ng buhay

Laban, mga tambay

Lagpasan mga hamon ng buhay

Laban, mga tambay

Lagpasan mga hamon ng buhay

Laban, mga tambay

Lagpasan mga hamon ng buhay

Teka teka teka lang sir

Di naman sa pag ma-ma-ma-marunong

Pero makatwiran at makaturangan na ba

Ang simpleng pag tambay humantong sa pagkakulong?

Tambay nga diba?

Walang ginagawa

Walang ginagawang masama

Konting kwentuhan, konting inuman

Pang raos manlang sa bangis ng lipunan

Sa dinami-dami ng mga kriminal

Ng mga may mga ginawa nang illegal

Kami pa talaga ang una ninyong sinala

Pwede na bang ebidensiya ang hinala?

Sa mga kaso, gawa-gawang atraso

Kitang-kita, quota-quota lang ang panggagago

Sa gan’tong kaayusan, walang panalo

Dumarami ang tambay kapag walang pagbabago

Laban, mga tambay

Lagpasan mga hamon ng buhay

Laban, mga tambay

Lagpasan mga hamon ng buhay

Laban, mga tambay

Lagpasan mga hamon ng buhay

Laban, mga tambay

Lagpasan mga hamon ng buhay

Aming barong-barong, 'di ba sobrang liit?

Kung doon mag-lalagi, sobrang sikip

Mga tropang gipit, sa labas pumipwesto

Pagka’t mas sumasaya kapag pumipresko

Nasan na mga parke’t mga silid-aklatan?

Mga abot kayang tambayan ng taong bayan?

Nasan ang edukasyon para sa lahat?

Nasan ang mga trabahong nakakasapat?

Sa buhay, anong patunay ng aming sungay?

Kahirapan ang problema, hindi lang basta kulay

Wala ngang ginagawa, 'di ba literal?

Hulihin niyo mga tunay nang kriminal

(Oh yeah) Kami nanaman ang ginawang palusot ng gobyerno

Bakit ba palaging mahihirap ang nagiging biktima ninyo?

Imbis na tulungan niyo kami, dinakip at pinosasan

Sa loob ng selda binugbog sabay tanggi sa kamatayan

Mga tambay kami pero bakit kami

Ang nagiging target ninyo?

Mga tambay kami pero bakit kami

Ang nagiging target ninyo?

Laban, mga tambay

Lagpasan mga hamon ng buhay

Laban, mga tambay

Lagpasan mga hamon ng buhay

Laban, mga tambay

Lagpasan mga hamon ng buhay

Laban, mga tambay

Lagpasan mga hamon ng buhay

Fight back, all you tambay!

Rise above the challenges of our lives

Wait a, wait a second, officer

Not to be a know-know-know-it-all

But would you say it is logical and just

For a simple tambay to end up behind bars?

You call us tambays, right?

We don’t do anything

We’re not doing anything wrong

We’re just hanging out here, talking and drinking

To scrape by despite our city’s cruelty

Out there, there are countless criminals

Countless people who have broken the law

Why are we the ones you’re rounding up to arrest?

Is your suspicion enough evidence against us?

Look at our cases, our made-up offenses

It’s obvious that you’re picking on us to reach your quotas

With this kind of system, no one wins

The tambay multiplies if society doesn’t progress

Fight back, all you tambay!

Rise above the challenges of our lives

Look at our shanty house, isn’t it tiny?

If we hang out in there, we wouldn’t be able to breathe

Look at my broke friends, settling down outside

Where it’s cooler and we feel the breeze

Where are the free public parks and libraries?

Where are the places where ordinary people can hang out?

Where is the education for all?

Where are the jobs with livable wages?

In this life, where is your proof of our evil?

Poverty is the problem, not the color of our skin

You call us tambay, and we literally don’t do anything

Why don’t you arrest the real criminals?

Once again, the government uses us as scapegoats

Why is it that your victims are always the poorest of us?

Instead of helping us, you arrest us and cuff our wrists

A tambay was beaten to death in prison and you denied responsibility

Yes, we are tambay but why are you picking on us?

Fight back, all you tambay!

Rise above the challenges of our lives

Fight, hangouts

Overcome life's challenges

Fight, hangouts

Overcome life's challenges

Fight, hangouts

Overcome life's challenges

Fight, hangouts

Overcome life's challenges

Wait wait wait sir

It's not about being wise

But is it reasonable and reasonable?

Simple loitering leads to jail time?

Hang out, right?

Doing nothing

Not doing anything bad

A little talk, a little drink

At the very top of society's brutality

With the multitude of criminals

Of those who have done things illegally

We were actually the first ones you filtered

Can suspicion be evidence?

In cases, fictitious arrears

It's obvious, there's only quota-quota to talk about

In such an arrangement, there are no winners

Laziness increases when there is no change

Fight, hangouts

Overcome life's challenges

Fight, hangouts

Overcome life's challenges

Fight, hangouts

Overcome life's challenges

Fight, hangouts

Overcome life's challenges

Our shack, isn't it too small?

If you stay there, it's very crowded

Emergency troops, outside taking up positions

Because it's more fun when you refresh yourself

Where are the parks and libraries?

Can the townspeople hang out?

Where is education for all?

Where are the jobs that are good enough?

In life, what does our horn prove?

Poverty is the problem, not just color

Doing nothing, literally?

Catch the real criminals

(Oh yeah) We are the government's excuse

Why is it always the poor who become your victims?

Instead of helping us, we were arrested and handcuffed

Inside the cell beaten while refusing to die

We hang out but why us?

What is your target?

We hang out but why us?

What is your target?

Fight, hangouts

Overcome life's challenges

Fight, hangouts

Overcome life's challenges

Fight, hangouts

Overcome life's challenges

Fight, hangouts

Overcome life's challenges

Fight back, all you hangouts!

Rise above the challenges of our lives

Wait a second, officer

Not to be a know-know-know-it-all

But would you say it is logical and just

For a simple hangout to end up behind bars?

You call us tambays, right?

We don't do anything

We're not doing anything wrong

We're just hanging out here, talking and drinking

To scrape by despite our city's cruelty

Out there, there are countless criminals

Countless people who have broken the law

Is your suspicion enough evidence against us?

Look at our cases, our made-up offenses

It's obvious that you're picking on us to reach your quotas

With this kind of system, no one wins

The idleness multiplies if society doesn't progress

Fight back, all you hangouts!

Rise above the challenges of our lives

Look at our shanty house, isn't it tiny?

If we hang out in there, we wouldn't be able to breathe

Look at my broke friends, settling down outside
