So Fine

So Fine - feat. GORDOMELLOW

(Prod. CJ Beatz)

Lyrics: 

If you're feelin sad
im gonna get ya glad tonight
I got this gs(goodshit) from the drawer of my dad
i dont care if people be talkin shit right infront of me
all i wanna do in my life is to be happy

“crazy”
yan ang tawag sakin ni mommy
na pinapalala everyday sakin ni auntie
At dapat daw tapusin ang schooling para
may money para sa aking family

Wag daw loko loko
Sabi ng mga tao
Happy lang ako
Pero bakit tingin niyo sakin gago

“ang paraan para pumunta sa kaligayahan 
Gawin mo lang ikabubuti para sayong bayan”


Hindi ako nagloloko
maayos sa lahat
ginagawa ko ng career sa buhay ko ang rap
I've been a good friend to all my tropas
because they're always there if i have problemas


(2x)All i wanna do is to be happy
Wag lang magiging crappy ang life
kasi may ambition pa para sa wife
wag magiging tambay
continue lang sa life
at chill lang para happy life

Dapat lagging masaya
Kahit walang kasama
Kalat kalat madaya
basura sama sama

Palibhasa mga pera ginawa
Na Pang hasa sa mga utak talangka 
na nakaasa sa mga haring may buhay maginhawa
nakakaawa nasa ibaba wag na umasa

kaya sana wag ma bahala
kung akala pariwara na , balewala yan
basta samahan ng mahiwaga
at sa sarili mag tiwala

palagi kalimutan na ung dati 
dahil purong kalungkutan ang sanhi ng kapalpakan na grabe
sa gabe kadalasan umatake
negatibong buhawi 
tapalan lang  ng ngiti, limang libong kunware
kung hindi sa pagtulog nalng bumawe
pag ikay kulong wala sayong tutulong pare
kaya tandaan mo lang aking bulong
“maniwala ka lang at patuloy na kumapit”


(2x)All i wanna do is to be happy
Wag lang magiging crappy ang life
kasi may ambition pa para sa wife
wag magiging tambay
continue lang sa life
at chill lang para happy life
