verse: rap

"Sa ngalan ng ama…" pero alam mo na
Si tatay pala niya ang sinasamba
Pag linggo mabuting tao pero
Lunes, martes, miyerkoles, huwebes,
Biyernes, at sabado, bukham-bibig

“TATAY, IPAPATAY NIYO!
DIYOS KO PATAWARIN NIYO AKO!!!
TATAY, IPAPATAY NIYO!!!

HINDI SILA TAO KAYA OKAY LANG YAN
BATA MATANDA BABAE MABUTI NANG
WALANG LABAN PARAK TAPOS NA BA KAYO
KASI MAGSISIMBA NA’KO”

Walang kwenta!!!
Walang kwenta!!!

Siya ay lawyer bobo daw ako
May alam siya, pakialam ko!
Lawyer ka nga pero ayaw mo sa batas
Takot ka sa yaman mo kaya sagot: dahas!
Problema wala pera kaya puro droga pero

“TATAY, IPAPATAY NIYO!
DIYOS KO PATAWARIN NIYO AKO!!!
TATAY, IPAPATAY NIYO!!!

HINDI SILA TAO KAYA OKAY LANG YAN
BATA MATANDA BABAE MABUTI NANG
WALANG LABAN PARAK TAPOS NA BA KAYO
KASI MAGSISIMBA NA’KO”

Walang kwenta!!!
Walang kwenta!!!

Ina ko po, kamag-anak pa man din kita
Gusto mo lang yung kandidato kasi kababayan mo siya
Kawawa naman kaming susunod na henerasyon
Kami ang magdurusa! Kami ang magdurusa!

Walang kwenta!!!
Walang kwenta!!!

Did You Turn The Lights Off?

Did you turn the lights off?

Did you forget it again?

Did you turn the lights off?

Should I turn it off myself?

Every morning you wake up

You forget to turn the lights off

Every morning when I can,

I can do it if you need my help

Did you turn the lights off?

Did you leave an open door?

I can help you find your phone

I can also leave you alone

Every morning you wake up

You forget to turn the lights off

Every morning when I can,

I can do it if you need my help

Missed to put your glasses on?

Dishes pilin' up again?

Did you turn the lights off?

Should I turn it off…

I got this thingamajiggy, yo yeah that's me

Can't sit still, can't focus, can't remember, I can't be

Like the other kids who do their work with ease

I'm always restless, distracted, and feeling the squeeze

Sometimes I feel like I don't fit in

Like I'm always out of sync, like I'm always on the brink

Of losing control, of messing up, of letting people down

But then I remember that I'm not alone, that I'm not a clown

I know it's hard to live with this thingamajiggy

It's a challenge every day, it's a struggle to stay ... on track

But I also know that it's a gift, that it's a part of me

That makes me unique, that makes me shine, that makes me rap, you see?

Some people think that this thing is a curse

That it's a disorder, that it is something worse

Than being normal, than being average, than being plain

But I don't listen to them, don't let them get in my brain

Some people try to label, putting me in a box

To say that I'm lazy & stupid, that I'm a paradox

Of success and failure, of potential and waste

But I don't let them do that, I don't let them erase

But I don't let it stop me, I don't let it define me

I got skills and talents that you can't deny me

I'm creative, energetic, I'm a star in the making

I got this thingamajiggy but I'm not faking

This is Poppa Rock, made by a dad, a poppa
Coz when I was young all I evva heard was "nevva"
"You focus on studying so you can get to uni
Or else I'll disown you, you lazy sazzy donkey"
(Just kidding)

So I did work hard but I can't be more grateful
For whoever did what they did and now I can do
Whatever it is I wanted to do but couldn't, at the same time,
They helped me not do what I shouldn't, they saved my life

I am not a pro
I don't know
How to edit songs
Or videos

I just wanna...

Now in my youth, I was always into all music
And toys, and hoopin', and software programming
Thank you to Canada, and whoever brought me here
May seem like a small thing but it is a big deal

Now I'm old, I'm a poppa, but now I do these things
I'm happy about autotune and new technologies
got GarageBand and money, to buy the tools that I need
There's Spotify and YouTube and other places I can feed

With content, but wait, while we're on the subject
There is one more thing now I need to interject
Coz I spent some money on this thrift store guitar
There's just one thing I'll ask from y'all near and far

But I can't swing
But I try
Even if it makes you cry

forgiveness

january 1994

take a deep look into my eyes
tell me what do you see
tears are fallin’ like eternal rain
my problems are floodin’ me

what you doin maybe is just right
i know that i deserve it
but can’t you make it a little more light?
and please forgive me
please, please

baby i’m sorry
i know i was wrong
it’s your forgiveness
i’ve needed for so long
all my sadness
will go if you’ll let it
baby know that all i want
is for us to be good friends
again

how much hurt i’ve taken inside
not knowin’ what i should do
i don’t know what’s on your mind
but i know i had to tell you

all i know is i’ve lost your friendship
somethin’ now i value more than love
takin’ the pain, can’t do with hidin’ it
baby it’s your forgiveness that’s all i ask

going back to the times that we were old friends / i never realized that i made it end
i’m blamin’ myself for the whole thing / situations made me stop givin’ you rings
on the phone, yeah i know that you have lost your trust in me / and that’s the same thing goin’ on with jing
i never really want to lose any friends / i value it more than your love so please give me a second chance

chillin’

1992

i was sippin’ a piña colada as i cruised down the road
and i’m listening to rap music as i came from my abode
and i’m sticking in a CD into the radio,
yo! i’m checkin’ out the brothers in the industry
so i’m tryin’ to put the stereo to the maximum volume
i’m feelin’ a little hyped ‘cause i’ll be nowhere soon
confusin’ you all a bit, goin’ ten miles an hour
disposin’ my drink you know, ‘cause it turned sour
i’m turnin’ right to epifanio de los santos avenue
i’m takin’ the left lane – for the reason? nothin’ to do
and i say to myself, oh i feel so cool
but don’t you know that the people think that i am a fool
this is dreaming on my part, i pulled over to galleria
i’m parking in the basement and i’m out to check out the
fly girls in the mall, that’s what i love about it
i’m swingin, makin’ me better feelin, what do i know about it?
wearin’ shaded glasses plain white shirt and blue jeans
loafers and solid belt, lookin’ hip, know what i mean?
i’m wearin my GAP cap as i checked out the stores
i’m checking out my homeboys playin’ billiards at the fourth floor...

i’m just chillin’
