Lyrics
'Long as i got you, sa'kong mission di ko mu abort
Expressing commitment to a mission as long as the person has a companion.
As long as I got pen and paper I can draw my sword
Using pen and paper as metaphorical tools to face challenges and conflicts.
Di ko gusto mu stand out bisan pag afford
Not wanting to stand out unnecessarily, even if one can afford it.
Basta di ko pa behind, I will stay afloat, yeah, yeah
Determined to stay ahead and not fall behind in life.
I'mma, I'mma stay
Repetition of the commitment to staying afloat.
I'mma Stay afloat, yeah yeah
Reaffirmation of the resolve to stay afloat despite challenges.
Di ko makig-sugat sa balod, yeah

And 'stead I'm gonna ride with it
Choosing to go along with challenges instead of resisting them.
Unsa ma'y mahitabo, I'mma stay afloat
Remaining resilient regardless of what happens.
I don't understand
Expressing confusion or lack of understanding.
They throw advice
People giving advice, but the individual doesn't mind.
Pagka-huma'g libak
Ignoring criticisms and negative comments.
But, I don't mind
Being resilient despite setbacks and negative influences.
Snakes always bite me down everytime I climb
Encountering challenges and betrayals from others.
I close my eyes and keep rolling the dice
Taking risks despite the possibility of failure.
But I'm better now
Indicating personal growth and improvement.
Tho' not in the level you expect
Acknowledging progress but not meeting external expectations.
So, plug your speakers out
Suggesting to turn off speakers to avoid potential damage.
'Less you want it to get wrecked
Warning against potential negative consequences.
'Less you wanna hear a war between russia and Iraq
Referencing geopolitical tensions metaphorically.
Cos' I'm cookin' up a storm
Creating a metaphorical storm with creative endeavors.
Bisan Pag-asa can't detect, nah
Being undetectable by conventional means, suggesting uniqueness.
I'mma do it manually
Taking control and nurturing personal growth.
Reforestation on my playlist it's growing gradually
Metaphorically growing positive elements in life.
Wait until they thrive, reach the sky, that's the time that you will see me
Waiting for success and recognition.
Being crowned as a King in this Jungle
Aspiring to achieve greatness in one's environment.
'Long as I got music
Highlighting the importance of music in the journey.
'Long as i got you, sa'kong mission di ko mu abort

-Paper is my base where I store all my bombs

I'm a General, I make words as a force of an army
Positioning oneself as a leader using words as a powerful force.
My pen will be my colonel, causing corns on my palm
Metaphorically assigning roles to tools and elements in the creative process.
Stage is a war field where my corps will be harmful and deadly
Viewing the stage as a battlefield where creativity can be impactful.
Boy, I'm a motherf**kin' ruthless

A biting animal? Thats not me, that is you
Denying a passive, biting nature, and emphasizing strength.
I don't need any tooth, I don't bite, thats no use

I'm a fire spittin' motherf**kin' dragon, call me Toothless
