ARÁL Lyrics English Translation by Loonie Ft. APEKZ, Ron Henley & Abra
There’s a poet
Emerging from yellow, white, blue, red
Venomous when spitting words
Filled to the brim with critics
Don’t just talk
When focused, you’ll surely learn
Capable of matching even while asleep
Every rhyme packed with gunpowder
Every drop is like a bomb
Containing nuclear in the nucleus and chromosomes
Like a bear that swallowed Coca
Lessons like wearing a toga
I know if it’s lacking or excessive or where the ball will fall
Leaves a mark with a count, so not just empty words
There’s a lesson you won’t find elsewhere
Worn-out uniform on a chair I’ve written on
Study it so you won’t be blind to what I grew up with
So you’ll know that your lips suit my footsteps
Full of confidence, so my face thickens
Not just memorized, really learned
I carry letters for Eskrima
Using the wooden pen of ancient writers
Carved by the right hand of Shiva
Bearer of apocalyptic prophecies
One by one, household chores
I feel it all the way to my neck, it’s tiring
Even without immediate reward, I’ll adapt
Ten thousand hours of deliberate practice
It’s not just about getting through
Steps need to be organized
These are the chosen shoes
From the age of sixteen
Swim until it doesn’t tire
In paddling, it never ends
Hoping to create two waves in one flow
Guaranteed with the blessing of the Creator
I accompanied grams with grams of prayer
The exhale is like Taal’s mouth
Not just practiced, really learned
The superego is a known crazy kind, Sigmund psycho-analytical
My force is like Enki, subversive, scientific Anunnaki
Duty to refine art using rhetoric and dialectic
Even if I’m just talking to myself, I’ll dive into any depth
This jest, very mischievous, used to always be happy-go-
Lucky until my mom passed away, life stopped, became a rocky road
Bitter-sweet, that you can’t understand, why does this happen
Whatever happens will happen, so make the most of the time while you’re here
Asherah is my witness, nature is the power-up
Fame is a handicap, proof is the magic lamp
Why born? Automatic rap, natural, even acting chops
Your choppy flow sounds like Charlie Chaplin, while this is a godly flow, like the Great Flood
From Tusita, visited briefly as a tourist
Several times orphaned, in a world full of opportunists
Masochist Buddhist, guide even the critics
Know how to balance, really learned, with a touch of Da Vinci in the painting (brraa)
I took the Mensa exam, like Nikola Tesla
When the mind stretches, it can surround Edsa
Masterpieces like they’re put in a cell
While serving a life sentence
As long as the patience I prepared matches the length I went through
Michelangelo Buonarroti when finishing Pietà
Each piece of letter, like a Picasso masterpiece
If the value is that high, it might not sell much
But I’m not after money, prepared for war
Know the game like a veteran athlete
Known for changing the meta, dangerous, bro
Be thankful I was jailed and rested during the pandemic
The scene suddenly changed, a lot of kids entered, damn
I’ve dealt with it through experience
We’ve researched the system for a long time
Really learned, even if the school is different
