HOOK:
Celebrating all the girls
To the women who be rockin them diamonds and pearls
Celebratin all the girls
To the ones who got straight hair or the one with curls
Celebratin all the girls
To the chicks who are petite and the ones that got the curves
Celebratin all the girls
We a blessing to this world, lets help each other fight the curse

DB:
It’s the feminine aura, 
it’s Eve, Lauryn Hill, Audrey Hepburn, Maria Clara
Getting lifted, feeling gifted as we smoke the ganja
Celebratin’ feminism, yo kaming bahala.

We got flowers on our body, better catch the scent.
Our principles are straight never get the mindset bent
Believe in yourself because your mind is your wealth
Be thankful for your struggle and the cards that you’ve dealt 

With/ Got the butter and the bread
Every girl’s connected by an invisible thread
Sunkissed, soft lips, tell your homie check this
Spreading peace and unity is a daily practice

Shawty feel good know that youre a queen
Give a cold shoulder to those who doubt you in the scene
So heres the scepter, and the letter and a message for you
You’re a soldier with a soul, and your presence is true.

HOOK


KESSIAH BRAVO:
It's the feminine aura,
Speak for yourself cause we know you aint a liar
Representing womanhood we can give you fame and food
Better treat us right so you can get in our shoes

And if you feelin blue, always think that everything you do is possible.
You are capable of doing what's best for your time,
and the dimes are just for fun.

Every Filipina is worthy of your life
And don't you even think that we need you in our pies.
Cause we manage through the lies,
And we can leave you dying inside.

Open your eyes, baby girl this is our fight.
That we should keep it alive.
And put allah in our minds,
Cause you're a good girl and you know what is your right.

RVRD:

Gusto kong pumara kung ang bara ko ay barabara
Kumpara sa obrang pwedeng ilathala sa pisara
Di ko inakalang kakasya 'to sa parirala 
Di mo inakala? 

Kaya kayanin kayabangang kayamanan ko 
Wag mong wagayway at wagi na ako, wagas na'to 
Kangkungan ang hantungan, kangkarot pasikotsikot
Gagalaw kang gaga ka at gagapos pa ikotikot


Wag kang pasisigurong makakatakas ka
Dahil lalapit pa sayo, di ka nagtataka? 
Sa layo ng mapupuntahan, huli ka parin
dayo sa iba, mananatiling salarin

Manlalaban ka pa ba kung madali lang sumuko
Utak mo ay puno, di sigurado sa dulo
Tumakas sa lipunan, dahil wala ng lunas
Puso ay bukas na haharapin ang bukas

Calix:

Sinara, ang mata ay sinara
Sa katotohanang ang daan ay hindi sa kanya
Sinungaling bang matuturing ba si Sinatra
Sa pag-angkin ng landas, may kasunod na kakasa
Sa tahanan nya, naghahasik
kagaguhan. Pumipitik
nanlilisik ang mata
na sinara namimintig
Ang puso na puno ng hinagpis
at pagsisi
Parang tenelovela sa TV

At pag sapit ng dapit hapon
ay pilit na hinamon
Ang kahabaan ng pasensya
sa pag pigil,
penitensya ang pag hanap ng pang uwi
Di mahagilap ng sawi
Ika'y hirap sa pagtimpi
walang sarap na sing tindi

Kung maka-takas lang sa hinaharap
Alindog ng kalayaan ba ay nalalasap
Panibugho na lamang ba
ang lumalamang sa lapot
ng dugong bugbog sarado't
hinaluan ng galit, poot

Nangangamba
Ano na ba?
Natatanga
Ano nga ba?

Pa-ikotikot lang kahit na pumiglas
Pa-ikotikot lang dahan-dahang natrintas

Sa rehas ng nakaka-walang muwang
Daan-daang nabubuuang
Ang isip mo'y lumulutang
Ang pag hanap, walang hanggan
Wag mong isiping nandyan lang
Kailangan mong ibuklat ang
kokote mong tumutuklap sa takot

Nangangamba
Ano na ba?
Natatanga
Ano nga ba?

Pa-ikotikot lang kahit na pumiglas
Pa-ikotikot lang dahan-dahang umatras

Takas (Ft. Calix)
