“Layo Paka, But Layo Naka” Cover by: MJ Inspired by: “The Show” by Lenka (2008)

Verse 1

I was a little girl, caught in our little home,

Life felt busy, time moved on its own tone.

Didn't know where to go,

Can't do it alone,

I've tried, but I don't know why.

Verse 2

Bring the bacon home, do your best,

Those pressures banged onto my chest.

It's not easy, yeah, it's a lot,

Be more than what you've got.

Pre-chorus

I was young, learning how,

A lot of lessons guide me now.

Chrorus

I was a little girl, caught in our little home,

Taught by family, turned to grow on my own

Had the lead where to go

But I wasn't alone,

I've tried, and now I know why.

Post-Chorus

Pudumpidam, pudumpidam,

Layo pa ka, but layo na ka.

Pudumpidam, pudumpidam,

Layo pa ka, but layo na ka.

Bridge

That shaped me who I am,

That shaped me who I am,

That shaped me who I am.

It's so fascinating how much our environment dictates our cognitive biases.
