Lyrics to We Be Workin’ by Apl.de.Ap of Black Eyed Peas

World wide, world wide
W-w-world wide, world wide
All over the world!
World
World wide, world wide
W-world wide, world wide

I come from Angeles City Pompango
Allen Pineda cane and share us in the struggle
I’ve been working ever since I was younger
Saying with the earth through grounds to the thunder

We got our own food, now tell me whose drama
I ate no food, I’m all about the Pumpa
Now this goes up to all the workers, all the farmers,
All the builders and the carpenters, working hard for someone
Yeah

CHORUS
Keep on, keep on workin’
All my people are there, we be workin’
Get it paid minimum wage of workin’
It’s dedicated to my people all over
All over the world…(X 18)

For my people from the Philippine Island
We gonna fight to make it right cause it’s our land
The world economically struggle and
Most of us are governed by hunt to try to hustle, damn…

That’s why we grunning just to make a dialog,
Turned into a far dialog
Everybody screaming “holla”
Must my people get me shutter?

No, just keep on gettin’ harder,
Mother, sister, sister, father
Working overseas, gettin money for the grandfathers
Yeah

CHORUS
Keep on, keep on workin’
All my people are there, we be workin’
Get it paid minimum wage of workin’

It’s dedicated to my people all over
All over the world…(X 18)

We’re working trying to build a house
For some food into the mouth
Family, you’ve got a fee-
Money to the grocery

Kids’ve got to go to school
Make sh*t at their stomachs fool
Five to nine, nine to five
Every day just to survive

Anyway, all the time
From Dubai to PR
From Dublin to Senegal
Senegal to amway

Everybody know somebody
Abidabi workin’ men
Mother, daughter, sister, uncle
Undertaken workin’ men
For someone

CHORUS
Keep on, keep on workin’
Oh mama, grann, all the time I be workin’
Get it paid minimum wage of workin’
It’s dedicated to my people all over
All over the world…(X 18)

He’s the king of the Philippines
He’s the king of the Philippines
Allen Pineda, Pineda,
King of the Philippines…

I’m Filipino! Filipino!
Filipino! Filipino!
All over the world…
