8080 Lyrics English Translation by Flow G
No melody
Just an 808, but it doesn’t
Come up short
Before I deliver, inventory it
Gonna make a rap that’ll be stamped in the memory
Made in a flash but it’ll last a whole century
Treasury
This is the cure, it’s not in mercury
Therapy
You know it’s potent and it’s got a price too
Don’t you dare look down, not all can be measured by you
Don’t you ever think you’re great ’cause she did too.
There’s more and more people acting foolish now
There’s more ’cause there’s more letting themselves get fooled
Getting eaten by the system, getting so stupid
So now when you say “Pinoy Adobo”
What’s the point of all the chickens we’re gonna vote for
If the funds aren’t gonna be pushed all the way through?
Some are making a mockery of being devoted
‘Cause they’re doing it for the video and the photo, too.
I don’t want it! What, are they dizzy, what am I?
Maybe they think I’m raw ’cause my game is strong
You’ll rarely ever hear me get like this
But you’ll be cursing out loud like you got a promo on
I’ll be the one to say it
What’s happening is based on what’s around
People aren’t tools to be used
You’ll still look for a flaw just to take a peek
Remember, those who act all pure have made mistakes, too.
You, sit down and be quiet
Listen carefully
Think of a solution instead of who to blame
Enough of always focusing on what’s wrong
Life is short but we make the string longer
You’ll regret it in the end if you don’t move on your own
It’s your fault for finding joy in what you shouldn’t
If you make a mistake, the world won’t stop
There is a way, but the longer you wait, the narrower it gets.
