"PUTANGINAMO" by BASSUURA

The 1981 Honda Motocompo is one of the coolest vehicles I have ever laid my eyes on. The idea of a compact motorcycle/scooter is novel but like many things nowadays, there's beauty to be found in things of the past.

Ano sa tingin mo ang liliban sa 'yong halaga?
Pano sasabihin kung madalas kang natatanga? 
Kataga mo ba ay tataga sa patag na sanga 
kung di kawangis, tulisan mo parang aking panga

Pangarap ko ay pang gap, at panggap sa iilan
Kontrapelo sa pagiisip nila na easy lang 
Pisi lang ang sisi kung ikaw pari'y naiilang
Retorika ay hindi ko hiniram sa PC lang 

Bakit nga ba ngayon ko lang naisipang maglabas?
Pangakit ba'to sa hinaharap nating marahas? 
Alas ko lang siguro na malas ako sa basbas
Kahit na talastas ko ay lagi ring umaalpas

Subukan mong namnamin at damdamin ang liriko
Di na alintana ang bintang ng mga kritiko 
Malay mo may ka-hihi-natnan ang pag i-imik ko 
Kung di ka sangayon ay masamid ka sa titik ko



Malamang sa malamang ay nalamangan na ako 
Alangan kung talagang may halaga pa nga ba to
Ano man ang aking ibabato ay ibaba 'to
Iba pa sa gagawin ko pagka lumabas na to

Pare pare pare pare, pareho lang ang tingin
Mare mare mare mare, maremedyuhan ko rin 
Kahit anong tulin o angas mo ay kulang pa rin
Kamay mo na bakal para sakin ay babasagin

Sige na aminin mo na miss mo na si Rardy
Huli nating usap sa Maynila bawal party
Ilabas ang cart sabay buksan mo ang Bacardi
Pag di ka sang-ayon, balat mo gagawing RP 

Merong kinikimkim, pero di si Jennie
Bawat bara ko paniguradong send to many
Pinagkuhaan ng style ng idol mo na emcee
Filipino Messi, kitakits na lang sa LP

Jennie

TRABAHO
 
Trabaho lang, walang personalan
Nagbibigay naman ng pagkakataon
Trabaho lang, at ika’y palilibutan ng
Karangyaang mithi mula noon
 
Kami’y nandito para maisulong
Solusyon sa nakasanayang buhay ng pagsubok
Kung ika’y gutom, sawang-sawa na sa rebolusyon
Hindi naman mapupuno’ng sikmura ng ‘yong ilusyon
 
Ano ba ang presyo ng iyong prinsipyo?
 
Hindi kailangan ang iyong talino
Umumpo na lamang, makinig, at tumungo
Lahat kayong nagtratrabaho rito ay pantay-pantay
Hindi mo na malaman kung ika’y dilat ba o patay
 
Ano ba ang kailangan mo para mabuhay?
 
Trabaho lang, walang personalan
Nagbibigay naman ng pagkakataon
Trabaho lang, at Ika’y palilibutan ng
Karangyaang mithi mula noon
 
Trabaho lang, walang personalan
Nagbibigay naman ng pagkakataon
Trabaho lang, walang personalan
Ito’y minimithi mula noon
 
Ito’y piniling pagdurusa
Ilan pa’ng kayang lunukin?
Baka sakaling masikmura
Kung alak ay ‘yong laklakin
 
Masaya ka naman
Masaya ka naman
Magsaya ka naman
Masaya ka naman
Masaya ka naman?
Masaya ka naman
Magsaya ka naman

Look Outside

09 - Look Outside

I was approached by The Seattle Times to write an op-ed guest column commenting on the recent gun violence in Seattle. So I wrote a rap and they liked it and <a href="http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/editorialsopinionpages/2018389866_blue-scholars-prometheus-brown-seattle-shootings.html">posted the lyrics here (w/ video) in the online Sunday edition (June 10th)</a>. People asked for a studio version so I quickly recorded the verses over this Sabzi beat from last year and the homie Justo came through with the clutch 90-minute mix down. Thank you for listening.
