不断在创新的黑眼豆豆合唱团，2003年乐团亮出了全新力作《Elephunk放克大象》，乐团有了新朋友─来自洛杉矶的Stacy 'Fergie' Ferguson，Fergie原本只是单纯的在现场演唱场合以乐会友，却因大家在录音室磨出惊人的火花，进而获邀加入黑眼豆豆合唱团。

　　这首歌是团员apl.de.ap为了纪念在菲律宾过世的兄弟的歌曲

　　Lapit mga kaibigan at makinig kayo

　　Ako'y may dala-dalang, balita galing sa bayan ko

　　Nais kong ipamahagi ang mga kwento

　　Ang mga pangyayaring nagaganap

　　Sa lupang pinangako

　　English

　　(Come closer my friends and everyone listen

　　I brought news from my homeland

　　I'll tell you how we live and what goes on

　　From my beloved homeland.)

　　[Verse one, Apl.De.Ap]

　　Every place got a ghetto this is my version

　　Check it out...

　　Listen closely yo, I got a story to tell

　　A version of my ghetto where life felt for real

　　Some would call it hell but to me it was heaven

　　God gave me the grace, amazin' ways of living

　　How would you feel if you had to catch your meal?

　　Build a hut to live and to eat and chill in.

　　Having to pump the water outta the ground

　　The way we put it down utilizing what is around

　　Like land for farming, river for fishing

　　Everyone helpin' each other whenever they can

　　We makin' it happen, from nothin' to somethin'

　　That's how we be survivin' back in my homeland

　　[Chorus]

　　[Verse two, Apl.De.Ap]

　　Yo, its been a while but...

　　I been back home to my homeland, (check it out) to see what's going on

　　Man it feels good to be back at home

　　And it's been a decade, on the journey all alone

　　I was fourteen when I first left Philippines

　　I've been away half my life, but it felt like a day

　　To be next to my mom with her home cooked meal

　　Meant I felt complete, my emotions I feel!

　　Now life has changed for me in the U.S

　　But back at home man, life was a mess...

　　I guess sometimes life's stresses gets you down

　　On your knees, oh brother I wish I could have helped you out...
