[Intro]
Here's a track fresh from 052
Albay sound, south side
LA Phily, four five double O
Live from M.E.D yo!
District 2, bring me the mic!
[Hook] (MC Shan sample & scratch)
Hip-hop (x32)
Bring me, bring me, bring me
The, the, the mic
The, the, the mic
I'll wreck the mic!
[Verse 1]
Straight from the south side, 052 yeah
Albay sound rap, LA Phily district 2
Where hip-hop is alive and uragon is the pride
Underground MC, Zner G. from region five
Being real is the hip, spreading vibes is the trip
We don't just jump and hop, scratch and rip, flip the script
You can see us on the streets hanging out
One unified culture, this ain't a sell out
Some are not the real shit, they're just a follower
Real MCs got no rhymes that's getting shallower
Mainstream rap that's taking over, stereotypical rappers
Ripping off the true art form I consider them "others"
Cause attitude not aptitude will determine my altitude
Quality not quantity will determine my magnitude
The lyrics is the symbol of a rapper's fortitude
So let me shout these words now to express my gratitude
[Hook] (MC Shan sample & scratch)
Hip-hop (x32)
Bring me, bring me, bring me
The, the, the mic
The, the, the mic
I'll wreck the mic!
[Verse 2]
If you can't beat them, talk mad shit but nevermind
I don't even give a damn and take no shit
Defunct! Their name doesn't even ring a bell now
I don't see their shadows even though we're on the same town
Got to put the action into lyrics
Rebuttal's the reply to the reaction of the critics
Their rhymes are anemic, I can't feel it like I'm on anesthetic
They lowered the standards from poetic to pathetic
And smeared the reputation of the movement
For their own amusement, the lyrics are reduced to a crappy entertainment
This is a denouncement, what a disappointment
They contribute embarassment so who are they to represent
Me? I'm a home grown MC from Legazpi City
Representing the rad scene here in LA Phily
Got to stay true to the roots of the underground hip-hop
Recorded from the south with uragon pride!
[Hook] (MC Shan sample & scratch)
Hip-hop (x32)
Bring me, bring me, bring me
The, the, the mic
The, the, the mic
I'll wreck the mic!
[Outro]
Skratchwise, keep it spinning!

Locked Away
02:51

[Hook]
Locked away in this world that I created
Feelin' elevated, alone, uninterrupted
A room that's full of freedom and the things that I imagined
Feeding my soul, fiddling, resting in the space I breathe in
Locked away in this world that I created
Feelin' elevated, alone, uninterrupted
A room that's full of freedom and the things that I imagined
Feeding my soul, fiddling, resting in the space I breathe in
[Verse 1]
Cause we livin' in a fast-paced world
Where we sometimes go deaf and can't hear words
And I, need to take a break to see what's happening
To check the reality if I'm still listening
Though these words came from my mind
But sometimes I don't live to them and I turn blind
And in addition; I'm afraid of these incisions
I'm sick inside but I know I have a mission
I have vision but what I do is all in violation
Making wrong decisions always in the opposition
A stab to myself I need correction, locked away alone
Talking to myself making conversations
Pinipilit ang sarili na intindihin
Minsan hindi alam kung pa'no sasabihin
Nalilito sa kung ano ang iisipin
At hindi malaman, kung ano ang nanaisin
[Hook]
Locked away in this world that I created
Feelin' elevated, alone, uninterrupted
A room that's full of freedom and the things that I imagined
Feeding my soul, fiddling, resting in the space I breathe in
Locked away in this world that I created
Feelin' elevated, alone, uninterrupted
A room that's full of freedom and the things that I imagined
Feeding my soul, fiddling, resting in the space I breathe in
[Verse 2]
Solitude's a bliss, hibernating like the swiss
Runaway kid, poetic genius I'm a wiz
It's an indication, an act of introversion
And it's my disposition cause I know my limitation
Nakakulong ngunit malaya, sinusulit ang biyayang
Talentong pinagkaloob kaya nandito, sarili ko ang kritiko
Hindi naman ako katulad mong hipokrito
I'm being true to myself but I'm no anti-social
Keeping things to myself but I'm no psychosocial
Sometimes they see me hiding
Sometimes they see me full
Give me a space to plug in, so I won't lose my cool
Float in the emptiness to fix the anxiety
Don't wanna be controlled, I hate the authority
I can be myself who's got some priorities
Who do you think you are to judge a personality?
[Hook]
Locked away in this world that I created
Feelin' elevated, alone, uninterrupted
A room that's full of freedom and the things that I imagined
Feeding my soul, fiddling, resting in the space I breathe in
Locked away in this world that I created
Feelin' elevated, alone, uninterrupted
A room that's full of freedom and the things that I imagined
Feeding my soul, fiddling, resting in the space I breathe in

Good & Evil
02:46
|
|||
[Intro: Zner G & Skeptics.]
Hip-hop! Yeah, yeah!
Live from the A's
Glitch music production
Good and evil, I’m gonna start the introduction
[Verse 1]
Can you tell me that you're good enough to go to heaven?
Or accept the fact that you'll be burning down in hell
That’s what they tell, nah, how good is good enough?
Do I need to be a saint 'cause doing good is not enough
I still continue to sin, even though I have my conscience
But I still choose the good even if there are no audience
Still the evil's taken their toll sudden emergence
That makes me do those awful things and make me an insurgent
I regret them at all, but no i won't defend
I don't even expect that in the end I will ascend
I know I'm helpless, where's my imaginary friend?
Can you silence and destroy the evil ego I pretend
To be evil though I'm good, the shouldn’t and the should
Look there is a beggar will you buy and give a food?
Will you do the good? If you know there ain’t a karma
Would you do the evil if you know there ain't a consequence
Hence, a coin has always two sides
The hero always win when he fights the dark side
There is a villain, there is an evil voice that’s hidden
Telling you to do the things that are forbidden
[Bridge]
Good or the evil?
What's it gonna be between the good and the evil
Good or the evil?
What's it gonna be between the good and the evil
[Verse 2]
Would you be happy in heaven if someone you love is in hell?
Where you would be when you die - the dead can't even tell
Can you prove it well? Can you seek freedom in a prison cell?
The good can be corrupted look how Lucifer fell
Why do we beg and borrow? Why do we lead and follow?
Why do we need to feel the happiness, the anger and the sorrow?
Why do we need to sleep and dream and wake up for tomorrow?
Why do we have to choose between a path that’s wide or narrow
Is evil existing? Why are they shifting?
The good is turning evil like a strong turned to weakling
Confused and just drifting, don't know what to believe in
The evil voice is shouting and the good is just whispering
Tell me what am I missing? Why are we flawed?
Why do we feel envious and why do we lust?
Tell me why do we feel gluttonous, angry, proud or lazy?
Why do we ask for more than what we need why are we greedy?
[Outro]
The good and the evil!
What's it gonna be between the good and the evil
The Good and the evil!
Who's gonna win is it the good or the evil
Good or the evil...

Let me take you back to when hip-hop started
Bronx NYC, where the foundations laid and charted
All the ghetto peeps party and danced with DJ Kool Herc
While Coke La Rock on the mic rocking the new herd
B-boys from the hood representin' movin' with the break
It's been a part of my life from everyday I wake
Born and raised in a barrio from the south like Bam
Where hip-hop is the lifestyle the culture and the jam
(Shout-out!)
I pay my mad respect to all the innovators
Fabricators of dope sound from turntables
They keep your head banging like Grandmaster Flash
The holy trinity of hip-hop started from a scratch
I'm an MC, but just a fan at first
I see them wolves at the park rhyming verse to verse
Now I contribute rappin' here in LGP
Shout-out to y'all, yo this is Zner G.

The movement is alive in all the fifth region
Coming from the roots of South Central Side
Uragon gangstas. A's Crew we the Bicol pride
I would like to pay a homage to Anahaw Village
For the dosage of the knowledge language and the image

Clothe's cool but attitude's still the ground rule
Salute to all the pioneers a toast to the volunteers
Peers to peers cheers to the coming years

Hidden talent of rap poetic words in g-style

This is the way we rollin' we hit the streets now
Hip-hop, boom bap don't stop
They say hip-hop is a young man's game, it's a holistic art
Uniting all the brothers in town in every city's part
Sharing our music and our pride
Albay sound rap we drop them like a atomic bomb
Cause every day's a war and I'm the culture's soldier
Using the rhymes and my flow that's getting heavier
Zner G. and B-Raw like coffee and milk
Diggin' sweet words and styles that will suit up your ears (yeah)
That's how we ride (yeah) that's why I write (yeah)
Expressing, we ain't divided we hate to fight
On the streets outside in the cold town of Albay
Chill lang muna tsong, relax at sumabay
[Verse 2: B-Raw]
Walking down the city groovy as hell
New kind of gimmick, glitch life so I tell
Glitch is not rich but mind over bitch
Cruisin' park town LGP duke of snitch, bitch
Foot forward on your goals and dreams
So it seems fully grown up of greeny greens
Smokin' 'til we crawl like a snail grinding slow on the rail
Know all the basic in the bail poppin' in the tail
Rockin' in the south, Kraken in the mouth lovin' so I shout
Bouncin' in the out this is all about
Good lads don't stop the rad boom bap
It's MC not a shitty rap crip-crap
If you know what I mean yo style is on the scene

Foreign military aircraft, this is Chinese Navy
You are approaching our military alert zone
Leave immediately
Ah this is Chinese Navy
Ah please go away quickly
You go!
[Hook: Zner G.]
This is our tirade check mic one, two
To all the chekwas at the west where they subdue
Our resources our islands and territory too
I raise my middle finger and shout fuck you!
This is my tirade check mic one, two
To all the chekwas at the west where they subdue
Our resources our islands and territory too
I raise my middle finger and shout fuck you!
[Verse 1: Zner G.]
Burn the red flag fuck the Chinese cock suckers
Yellow little dicks, dirty pussies, crooked hookers
Flop counterfeiters, notorious drug pushers
Short-tongued imps, freakin' bitches meth cookers!
Our land is not a meth lab, where you selling all your fake tags
No brainer same-faced, greedy nation, stinking fat hogs
Don't take us for a fool, we'll never raise them white flags
Go back where you came from take your stool and all your white drugs!
Squinted little cunts, stealing nickel ores
The same way you poach fishes in our seas and shoals
You're dumping all your shit and importing all your dead meat
Grabbing all our seas claiming them with zero logic!
We'll fight for our rights, we won't accept defeat
Spratly's on our zone, all the isles and the reefs
You don't even know the law, I want to gut a chekwa!
And send them back to school to learn their history, fuck China!
[Hook: Zner G.]
This is our tirade check mic one, two
To all the chekwas at the west where they subdue

[Verse 2: Ripper J.]
Chinese is a devil in my eye!
No meaning in my mind like a shitty blind, cry!
Open up my mind, everybody die
Everybody die!
Lyrically third eye in my sight
Chinese don't know what is in my mind
Cosmos is a brain like a deeper than the sea
So I can deliver a mentality to the galaxy
West Philippine Sea no we ain't free
Fuck the Chinese go away and flee
Golden boy ripping in the golden mic
Creativity, Ripper J. like a flying tight
Chekwa better know your place fuck face!
China we are not inferior than your race!
All day, all gain, movement ain't right
'Cause we own the right way!
[Hook: Zner G.]
This is our tirade check mic one, two

[Verse 3: B-Raw]
Chinese rats, no nutrition call it fats
Mind of flats, stop playing those playful flaks
Cracks? Yeah that's the number one you aim for
Stealing our territory oh from the backdoor
Halt! Killing a Filipino innocent man
Brain dead those brains like in the child's clan
Savage plan, silly gun, China fuckin' racist fam
Power bomb, milk with cum stack up like a stun, bang!
Making a rebel youth on weaponize root
Weapon of lyrics, not rawness but barefoot a but the truth
Chinese eyes is outta sight, guns and missiles on the flight
Wackness thinking overload it's so fuckin' not right
Pinoy life not easy but to strive
Here in PH fully digging our pride, no divide
Multi-tasking to survive, lyrically dive, not high
But low five, Rizal divided by B-Raw equals to alive
[Hook: Zner G.]
This is our tirade check mic one, two

[Intro]
War. War never changes
Since the dawn of human kind, when our ancestors first discovered the killing power of rock and bone
Blood has been spilled in the name of everything:
From God to justice to simple, psychotic rage
[Verse 1: Zner G]
Let it sink in my soul it can resurrect the beast yo
Hiding in the closet to destabilize the freeze mode
They say to let the fix flow, adhere to all the creep's code
Injectable lies designed to lead the end road
No man's land of the blind, the one-eyed man is the king
The medication to know the truth that lies in their dream
Was to cross the dead fields with a blood to redeem
To make it happen, they fight to death and kill with their team
A shot was heard them burning bodies at the stakes
'Cause they think it's for the good
But they commit the same mistakes
The cause of this is blinded faith, the tremors of the atom shakes
The sleeping beast is now awake
Now drop your head before its late
Holocausts and genocide, trepidation when the shots are fired
Empty streets and homes I cried, children and the women hide
Men at battle bombs collide, good life on the earth defiled
When can they be unified? Escalated worldwide
Tabernacles of churches desecrated
The world's most absolute despots generated
Power in a tragic demonstration, revenge and indignation
Vengeance of vexation, a time of desperation
On a system that is rigged, no perfection war is triggered
Emotions that are frigid in a world of hate and wicked
A history once written is bound to be repeated
Peace and hope defeated, the truth eradicated
[Verse 2: Tim]
Enter in my state of mind, product of design
Travel to the old earth heavenly divine
Heavily inspired it's the good life we aspire
But liars they exploit us and they leave us to expire
But it doesn't get through me. I can clearly see the truth G
The facts are based so loosely, thinking with this state of mind
Got the style so smoothly, hit you with the facts
Motherfucker call me Bruce Lee!
World full of sins and it doesn't make no sense
People killing people for the peso and the cent-avo
The truth is hard to swallow, people are confused
Cause they don't know who to follow
Fear and loathing in this land like Hunter T and Gonzo
Life's full of sorrow and they not sure of tomorrow
They don't know that they're slaves and
They're diggin' out their graves
Go along the waves cause I got myself deciphered
Got my vision steady see, depend on it so heavily
You know that there is something wrong
When people kill of jealousy this way they say your life should be It will never get the best of me but it will get the rest of you
The course will eat you up, the source has given up
You know there's no escape cause the system is corrupt
You know there's no escape cause the system is corrupt
[Outro]
In the year 2077, after millennia of armed conflict
The destructive nature of man could sustain itself no longer
The world was plunged into an abyss of nuclear fire and radiation
But it was not, as some had predicted, the end of the world
Instead, the apocalypse was simply the prologue to another bloody chapter of human history
For man had succeeded in destroying the world - but war
War never changes

[Hook]
Don't pray for us
We don't need no Modern Jesus to roll with us
The only rule we need is never givin' up
The only faith we have is faith in us
[Verse 1]
I was born and baptized taught how to be kind
When I was growing up these two eyes made me realize
That what I see is the reality, don't know why it hit me
Too many divisions and sects prone to conformities
A house divided against itself cannot stand
They're using one insignia but with different stances
Some of them are putting a price on your devotion
Heavy pockets and wallets all taken from donations
Ministers are preaching them lies about the paradise
Saying you can only be saved if you pay the right price
They're knocking at your front door still they aren't satisfied
You need to eat our bread, if it's a must be crucified
The east and the west, the greater and the less
Too many denominations all of them are contradictors
Self-proclaimed victors of their own beliefs and own ambitions
Pull the rope (ring it out to wash it down but)
[Hook]
Don't pray for us
We don't need no Modern Jesus to roll with us
The only rule we need is never givin' up
The only faith we have is faith in us
[Verse 2]
To have faith is to believe what you don't see
And yet these answers can't be questioned by philosophy?
They say the more you doubt you'll lose it
They don't know what the truth is
It is within you all you gotta do is seek for it
One truth but many songs but they've gone astray to the point
Where they don't know that they belong, yeah
They laughin' when they see them Neros fuck and burn Rome
They'll win you through persuasion kill for them with conviction!
Hypocrites go to the streets worshipping idols
They lose their mind just to touch a statue made of marbles and wood, hankies are waved, vows are made
These ceremonies can kill ya if you wanna be saved
But I don't care about religion, don't care about sexuality
Don't care about the gender, we are one humanity
Divided by faith and religion's diversity
Pour the wine (ring it out to wash it down but)
[Bridge: Mr. No Name]
Totoo ka ba o isang kathang isip lang?
Natutulog ba ako sa panaginip lang?
Numinipis na ngayon ang maykapal
Mas lalong nagpapalinis pa ang mga banal
Mga tao lang mahusay mag panggap
Mga disente lang naman ang tanggap ng tanggap
Mga mahirap lang marunong mag dasal
Maghihintay ng kasagutang kay tagal-tagal
[Hook]
Don't pray for us
We don't need no Modern Jesus to roll with us
The only rule we need is never givin' up
The only faith we have is faith in us

Dream World
02:40
|
|||
[Intro]
What up, what up?
A dream world
The M.E.D beats
[Verse 1]
I dream a world of peace, where people live with ease
No more repressed souls and everyone can get their needs
A world of happiness, no more room for hate and greed
For them to realize that love is what it takes to be freed
To be freed from all the chaos this world needs to be freed from
Angry leaders and political icons
What you gonna do for this world that you live in?
To make a better place all people's been dreaming
Sweet child's innocence torned, ruined and missing
Why? Because of wars fought, madness and killing
When will this stop if that's not what we're wishing
Then how can they learn if they keep disagreeing?
You know the world's turning but we keep on abusing
We keep on misusing proving we ain't deserving
You know the deal now what are we waiting for?
Stand for what's right what our hearts have been fighting for
[Hook]
A dream world brother
A dream world sister
A dream world brother
A dream world
[Verse 2]
Where is the love now? Well this is all I know
Give the children all the love as we watch them grow
They are the future, I dream of better generation
Give them a better place this is my aspiration and
This goes out to all the people of the Earth
I know I'm not the only one with the same dream world
Co-existence, despite of many differences
Respect will get us through our different preferences
No need to fight back, black and white, red and brown unite
We gotta make a stand and this cause we shall ignite
Singing songs of freedom and no more demonstrations
Equity, empathy, open communication
I dream of all the people caring for each other
I dream of all the people loving one another
Imagine all the people living life in peace
I'm dreaming of a world where hatred don't exist
[Hook]
A dream world brother
A dream world sister
A dream world brother
A dream world
