Ika-trenta ng Enero MiyerkulesJanuary 30th, Wednesday,
At alas nuwebe ng umaga niluwalBorn at nine in the morning,
Nung dapat ay katorse ng PebreroWhen it should’ve been February 14th,
Araw ‘yun ng mga pusoThe day of hearts,
Kaso para pala ‘yun sa AlamatBut it turns out it was meant for Alamat.
Ayun nga napaaga isinilang sa ‘GapoIndeed, I was born early in ‘Gapo ‘Olongapo’,
Lumaki sa caste dala sa balikat koRaised in the caste, carrying it on my shoulders,
Kung magsipag sa letra nung pang bata’y ‘gang ngayon dala ko ‘yanThe lyrical hustle from my youth is something I’m still carrying,
Ako’y mananatili na laging gutomI’ll stay hungry forever,
‘Tinuring na almusal at tanghalian at tsaka hapunanTreating this like breakfast, lunch, and dinner too,
Pati gabi do’n sa mikropono hanggang sapitanEven the nights on the microphone until we reach,
Na naman ng araw pero ‘di pa rin natitigilanThe sunrise again, but I still won’t be stopped,
‘Di pa nauubos ‘wag na ‘wag niyong pipigilan haI’m not empty yet, don’t you dare try to stop me.
Amo na adi na para dire mag bidaThis is it, I’m here now and not just to show off,
Klaro bawat pagbigkas ng letra walang aksayaEvery letter’s pronunciation is clear without waste,
Swabeng mga tula makikita ng madlaThe public will witness these smooth poems,
Nagbabagang salita ‘di ba halataBurning words, isn’t it obvious?
Kahit anong gawin masarap sa taingaNo matter what I do, it’s pleasant to the ears,
Lalo na ‘pag ako nakaisip ng ideyaEspecially when I come up with a new idea,
Gan’to ang yanig ‘pag aming dinaananThis is the tremor when we pass through,
Anim man sa beat tunog pang-isahanEven with six on the beat, we sound as one.
Pikit pag-inggit ta madagit pag aram mo naClose your eyes if you’re jealous, ’cause you’ll be snatched once you know,
Hilinga na ini sisay ini wara man na ibaLook at this, who is this, there’s no one else,
Nahigo taka Ilagi sana kahirakon ka man dae makisabayI’ve beaten you, just stay there, it’s a pity you can’t keep up,
Pag wara ka mang aramWhen you don’t know a thing.
Daghay nangatulala mga ‘di makawalaSo many were stunned, unable to break free,
Nidako sa ‘Pinas bitbit sa abaga koRaised in the ‘Pinas ‘Philippines’, carried on my shoulders,
Gikan Luzon Vizayas hantod Mindanao perming dala ko naFrom Luzon, Visayas, to Mindanao, I’m always carrying it,
Walay makapugong sige rag gutomNothing can stop me, I’m just staying hungry,
Tinuring na almusal at tanghalian at tsaka hapunanTreating this like breakfast, lunch, and dinner too,
Pati gabi do’n sa’n mikropono hanggang sapitanEven the nights on the microphone until we reach,
Na naman ng araw pero ‘di pa rin natitigilanThe sunrise again, but I still won’t be stopped,
‘Di pa nauubos ‘wag na ‘wag niyong pipigilan ahI’m not empty yet, don’t you dare try to stop me.
D#mn baby cool upDmn baby, cool up,
Alam mo naman we a hustlerYou know that we’re hustlers,
Hindi naman ‘to basta-bastaThis isn’t just some ordinary thing,
Pero kung inggit ka naman babyBut if you’re feeling jealous, baby,
Bow down show praise ’causeBow down, show praise ’cause,
Balu yu naman ing sabi-sabi kareng tauYou know what the people say,
A manyaman la kanu deng Kapampangan keng pamaglutuThat Kapampangans are reportedly great at cooking,
Pakiramdaman yu naman ing lulutu ku a lirikuSo feel the lyrics that I’m cooking up,
Uling e basta-basta nanu-nanu atyu isip kuBecause whatever’s in my mind isn’t just anything.
Pick up the pace show me your face para malaman naPick up the pace, show me your face so I’ll know,
Sinong may taste but these days parang wala man naWho’s got taste, but these days it seems no one does,
Think it’s a phase i know it ain’t natataranta naThink it’s a phase, I know it isn’t, they’re panicking now,
Kung gusto niyo ng place idaan sa tamang waysIf you want a place, earn it the right way.
Dami ng tumulala mga ‘di makawalaSo many were stunned, unable to break free,
Lumaki ‘to sa Pinas bitbit sa balikat koThis grew up in the Philippines, carried on my shoulders,
Mula Luzon Visayas hanggang Mindanao ke’t sa’n dala ko ‘yanFrom Luzon, Visayas, to Mindanao, I carry that everywhere,
Ako’y mananatili lang laging gutomI’ll just keep staying hungry,
Tinuring na almusal at tanghalian at tsaka hapunanTreating this like breakfast, lunch, and dinner too,
Pati gabi do’n sa’n mikropono hanggang sapitanEven the nights on the microphone until we reach,
Na naman ng araw pero ‘di pa rin natitigilanThe sunrise again, but I still won’t be stopped,
‘Di pa nauubos ‘wag na ‘wag niyong pipigilan ahI’m not empty yet, don’t you dare try to stop me.
You talk too much but never do muchYou talk too much but never do much,
All white flags kapag naka-clutchAll white flags whenever I’m in the clutch,
Teka lang parang daming nag-abangWait a second, seems like many were waiting,
Pa-decline sabi teka ‘di pa kami nasa primeDeclined them, said wait, we’re not even in our prime,
Awan imbagak still got ’em pressedI said nothing, yet I’ve still got ’em pressed,
Tatted Alamat on my chest that’s a different type of crest boyTatted Alamat on my chest, that’s a different type of crest, boy,
I don’t need a flex let the silence do the restI don’t need to flex, let the silence do the rest,
Agyaman nak permi ta headline yu ket dakamiI’m always thankful because we’re the ones in your headlines.
Pick up the pace show me your face para malaman naPick up the pace, show me your face so I’ll know,
Sinong may taste kaso these days parang wala man naWho’s got taste, but these days it seems no one does,
Think it’s a phase i know it ain’t natataranta naThink it’s a phase, I know it isn’t, they’re panicking now,
