[Chorus: Eyedress]
He was born in the Philippines
In the slums but he had a dream
To move away overseas
Where he could help his family

[Verse 1: Eyedress]
Life here isn't easy, the industry is cheap
If they could they wouldn't pay you
It's crowded in the streets
And the heat, you can't escape it
They smile in your face
But behind your back they hate you

[Verse 2: Vex Ruffin]
I was born in L.A. 
Normandie to the Valley
Moved to Manila in '93
Me and my family
Ten years old, culture shock, Talaga (Talaga)
Other kids triеd to bully me
Napikon nagalit ako
Nagsuntukan kami sa escuela
Thе school teacher said: "Tang ina" (Walang hiya ka)

[Chorus: Eyedress]
He got out of the Philippines
He moved away and followed his dreams
And made a way overseas
So he could help his family
[Outro: Vex Ruffin & Eyedress]
He's an OFW, OFW
He's an OFW, OFW
He's an OFW, OFW
He's an OFW, OFW
