Ako Naman Lyrics English Translation by Gloc-9
(feat. Oxsmugg)
If the chance isn’t meant for me
If it’s in your hand, I won’t take it from you, yeah
It’s all yours
(It’s yours, it’s yours, it’s all yours)
It’s all yours
(It’s yours, it’s yours, it’s all yours)
Every breath I exhale comes from burning desire
The sharpness of my tongue matches, even if you dissect the lines, I won’t flinch
I reached for what I wanted, didn’t hold back
Pure process is what I heavily consumed
Got drunk on the results I found
I did more of what was right
How could I ever stop
When my sleepless journey and route are for the future
I fed the ears of those listening
And where I arrived, I wasn’t rejected
That’s why I didn’t join the count
Of those struggling under the shepherd of the sheep
Enslaved by their own wants and moved by them
It wasn’t just success that took the initiative
Pushing forward, awakening through music and making sure the exchange is good
When I write, I go all the way
It gets even heavier when I let it go
I won’t be intimidated, I make sure everything’s a shock
If what I’ve created is blockbuster material
The intensity can’t be broken
And I’ll even shatter my long-held silence, and
No longer tired of having nothing
Blood and sweat are almost all that’s left to wring out
If life’s a gamble, I bet and bet again
My greed from hunger got worse and worse, argh
This is just the beginning
The rap is already deeply embedded, how could I ever let it go
If I couldn’t manage to chase my dreams
But still sweated in my own heat
That even if pulled down
I strained even more for what I loved, without competing
Just to be counted when avoided
Those are traits I don’t need, ’cause
If the chance isn’t meant for me
If it’s in your hand, I won’t take it from you, yeah
It’s all yours
(It’s yours, it’s yours, it’s all yours)
It’s all yours
(It’s yours, it’s yours, it’s all yours)
But when the chance is meant for me
I promise I won’t waste it, yeah
It’s my turn
(It’s me, it’s me, it’s my turn)
It’s my turn
(It’s me, it’s me, it’s my turn)
Learned over the passing of time
You can’t have everything
It will come for you, so stay calm
Your turn in line will come too
Open your eyes
Watch them
And study deeply
Those who changed
Harvest what’s ripe
Move past what’s raw
Sinking on its own
Appearing on its own
Don’t be dazzled by the
Sparkle
You don’t know how many are real
If it was given or had a price
Whose shadow is being deceived
Sometimes, a whisper is louder than a shout
Those who got lost have traveled farther
Remember that no one
Can be a more successful you
I should hurry up now
How many times have I seen and proven
It’s easy to ignite
But hard to tend
A blazing fire
Even when it’s windy
Leave it to them
Take care of what’s mine
Set aside when there’s plenty
What falls to you
Because people are rare who
Will truly help you
Take care of yourself
Because a true ‘we’ is scarce
You can help many
Put yourself first
If the chance isn’t meant for me
If it’s in your hand, I won’t take it from you, yeah
It’s all yours
(It’s yours, it’s yours, it’s all yours)
It’s all yours
(It’s yours, it’s yours, it’s all yours)
But when the chance is meant for me
I promise I won’t waste it, yeah
It’s my turn
(It’s me, it’s me, it’s my turn)
It’s my turn
(It’s me, it’s me, it’s my turn)
If the chance isn’t meant for me
If it’s in your hand, I won’t take it from you, yeah
It’s all yours
(It’s yours, it’s yours, it’s all yours)
It’s all yours
(It’s yours, it’s yours, it’s all yours)
But when the chance is meant for me
I promise I won’t waste it, yeah
It’s my turn
(It’s me, it’s me, it’s my turn)
It’s my turn
(It’s me, it’s me, it’s my turn)
