WELCOME2TIMOGMAGULO Lyrics Translation – MADUMING TIMOG Soundtrack
The artist paints a vivid picture of survival, asking, ‘Where are the dr#gs? Where’s the money? My answer is right here.’ This line captures the desperation and recklessness of chasing highs in a world of broken systems. Hev Abi mixes defiance with vulnerability, admitting, ‘Father forgive me, for you know that I’m always sinning.’
