Search and you’ll define
The sky between the lines I could never tell truth from victim
Escape is a tired line
Knock knock
Sun is creeping laying down the land a smear on the wicked
Now if you’re ready to bleed
Turn your head
From the right follow me
Give chase to my shadows disarmed with a whisper
No gun in my hand whatever happened to honor brother
Fight me man to man - look me in the eye
I got a family a feed
Will I learn from this
What can you teach me
It’s out of control
The times are crazy
We don’t even care who sits on the throne
Doesn’t matter to most of us
Just don’t mess with the status quo
Gas paint my picture everyday
Every stone’s been thrown
Lay siege to my kingdom
My covers blown
You blind dealing with death
Every dollar a headstone
Where the rich get richer
The poor just multiply
That’s smart divide and conquer
I keep em entertained
While your steal their hard-earned mula
Was there ever a time we dreamed of something better?
Sounds real good but you’re telling me to wait for fairer weather
Let it rain
Fire from the sky
Heaven help us (do you truly believe)
Only the strong should survive
With permission I make this my personal mission
Save me from the fire… from the fire
Yes sir yes ma’am I get the picture
We educate the masses who’s gonna be cooking our dinners
Such a waste of time thinking we have to raise our own sons and daughters
When you can pay below the minimum (shoot that man)
Excuse me but can I follow up that order
But all this talk don’t come cheap
We all know what has to be done
Our very own personal revolution
Revolution revolution revolution
Revolution revolution revolution
Revolution revolution revolution
Now here you come walking into my part of town
Telling people you have such a solution
Quick fix you got a story
Boy meets girl — stop they have kids
Poppa works while Ma raises the ten babies
She’s praying every night that they’ll one day hit the jackpot
9 lucky numbers win the lottery
A million gets me out of this hole
But when the well dries up where do I go
Little Pablo doesn’t even know how to read or write
I’m starving sweet Ana so I can get a good price for her
2 down 8 to go oh wait he’s got good skin tone
got nice smile and accent but kinda smells though
now where do you think you going talking that kind of tank
that doesn’t happen not on my watch no that doesn’t happen
I ask you all to bear witness to the rape of these young souls
Let’s give em a fighting chance and see where this all goes
I ask you all to bear witness to the rape of these young souls
If I don’t do nothing let’s see where this all goes
I ask you all to bear witness to the rape of these young souls
They got front row seats don’t tell me they know
I ask you all to bear witness to the rape of these young souls
They don’t need your donation what about education
ok lang…..maganda naman yng chorus e….but i dont like the rap verses….nakakasira sa image nila….mas maganda kung tulad nalang cla nung dati….alternative tlga….pero pwede na rin…..iwasan lang nla mag rap…baduy e.
ok nga yung rap eh, parang naration part kasi ng song. maganda yung combination ng rap and nung chorus part nya. astig talaga bamboo, buti na lang kumalas na kayo sa rivermaya lol
ang lupet talaga ni bamboo..I mean lahat sila magaling..ang lupet ng mga songs ng new album nila..I think they are becoming more mature sa music nila..Album name plng “LIGHT
Amazing. Beautiful. Just plain damn good.
The song is just so true and heart-felt. A wonderful composition. I applaud there efforts in making this song.
And …., the rap is in no way “baduy”. Unless of course you consider lyrics that tell the truth and are delivered in such a way as if he’s telling a personal account of his life, also giving it that patriotic/prophetic aura with the wordplay, and weaving it all together with that trademark voice of his, and all that “baduy”. But you aren’t that dense, are you?
Alternative doesn’t mean sticking to one old style. It means exploration & experimentation. Different.
haayyy… kahit anong kanta nila
mapa-may rap man yan
nakaka-high parin!!!!!!!
Bamboo rocks!!!
I bow down to Bamboo. He never fails to speak out the Truth, be it ugly or sad. He is Real. He literally makes us listen to Reality. He voices out his messages in such beautiful and eye-opening Masterpieces. We should be proud of our own. Our own Bamboo. Bamboo, you make Filipinos proud of you.
astig nito! kahit mahirap imemorize na memorize ko na! lalim ng lyrics kahit rap….
Wow! lupet talaga ng lyrics nyo.. my favorite line “Personal revolution revolution revolution revolution revolution”….. If we want our country to progress it needs to start from the individual…
astig ang message nung song… dont care if it is a rap song, all i know is astig ang bandang bamboo!!!
byebye… hope youll keep fire burning!!! \m/
kau ang mga 2nay na rakista!
This song should be heard by EVERY CITIZEN of this country especially our very dear POLITICIANS.
WHY IS THE TITLE ALPHA BETA OMEGA? I AM A MEMBER OF THAT GREEK ORGANIZATION AND IM JUST CURIOUS OF WHAT IT’S ALL ABOUT..
PLS I NEED TO ENLIGHTEN MY MIND..
pErO asTIG ANG MUSIC..
email me pls..
bamboo never fails to experiment with his material… with this rap-inspired song, though it doens’t stick to the usual atlerna-rock tunes, its still that damn good…. with the synchronization of bamboo’s impeccable song writing plus the harmonious choir chantings, the song reminds me of tupac’s mind-bending, eye-opening and erudite rap wordplay…from the title, alpha beta omega, from the beginning to the inevitable end.. there is a whole story told through the course of the song… a story seen through an honest eye…. bamboo keeps on plunging on different genres…. and i can give him a good credit on that. since so far he’s been doing good on fusing different themes creating a seemingly unique hybrid of style that is vintage bamboo… but the tunes aside, the song virtually revolves around its lyrics. the song is meant to be understood then be listened… it pays homage to our heritage and gives a whole aura of patriotism. great song. impeccable
Ok lang, kaya lang English. Sana tinagalog na lang nila, kasi yung song parang mas makakarelate yung mga Noyping more likely di nakakintindi nang english. So yun, mas maganda sana, kung lahat nakakaintindi, lalo na sa kanta na to, maganda pa naman yung message. Yung rap, ok lang yun, kahit na itula lang ni Bamboo ok pa rin yun. hehe
Kawayan Bato!!! hehe
ganda nung message ng kanta nila,ung rap ok lng un pero wag naman sana laging ganun, and nung narinig ko ung kanta nilang ito , sa una parang ay..nag rap cla…pero nung pinakingan ko ng mabuti sabi ko sa sarili ko aba, kaka iba ito ,lupet ng lyrics sobrang ganda ng message ASTIG!!! \m/ Rock on!!!
