Lyrics:

The search continues, for Juan Dela Cruz 
Man overboard from a one week cruise 
Not for enjoyment, all for employment 
Treated like shit by the boss of the crew 
What a great loss to his fam in Sulu 
Had to find out Juan was gone in the news 
Man of the water, took up blue collar 
Stopped selling pearls, so he could get dollars 

Chorus: 

Many shout from the dark but can you stand in the light? 
Is the bark that you bring just as bad as your bite? 
Are you proud of your past just as much as the life 
That has yet, to be seen through the midst of the strife 
Regardless of race are you proud of a face 
That's different from theirs and can't be replaced 
Do you act like they're right and try to erase 
Or stand and demand the respect that they chase 

Verse 2: 

Naa pud si Juana, wala pay contrata 
Dugay nag trabajo sa sm mall Bataan 
Mo lakaw lang si Juana padung sm intaun 
Kay layo iyang bedspace, 5 miles from the town 
Na baligya ug zapatos gikan Zamboanga 
Gama sa mga Tausug, para ilang bata 
Pirting lisoda ang buhay ng masa 
Ang batang mayaman? Walay silag batasan 

Translation:

And then there's Juana, still on contract
Worked a long time at SM Mall in Bataan
Juana walks to SM
Because her apartment is far, 5 miles from the town
She sells shoes from Zamboanga
Made by the Tausug for their children
Life is hard for the masses
And the rich kids? They have no limitations

Verse 3: 

And who is Filipeanut but a rapper with a blog 
Lost in the middle of the daly city fog 
Moved to Manila with a brown savior complex 
Found out his roots were as long as the NLEx (North Luzon Expressway) 
I can’t deny my identity crisis 
Maybe I might find, that the answer is inside us 
Deep inside, our solution is the brightest 
Find it with my voice ’til I get laryngitis 

Verse 4: 

Juan was Badjao, people of the sea 
Lethal with the harpoon, no need to breathe 
Gave up the boat to carry a shipload of laundry 
Part of a cruise ship army 
He lost his name, they gave him a new one 
Juan Dela Cruz, father from Basilan 
El nana chavacano, taga Zamboanga 
Di na mo sulti iyang mama

Translation:

His mom speaks chavacano, from Zamboanga
His mom no longer speaks
