Featured Song:Sinaktan Mo Ang Puso Ko

Sinaktan Mo Ang Puso Ko Lyrics

Di ko akalang magagawa mo sa 'kin to
Matapos ko maibigay ang lahat-lahat sa 'yo
Iniwan mo akong nag-iisa't nagdurugo
Kinabukasan kaya'y mabubuhay pa ako

BRIDGE:
Pakingan mo'ng aking awitin
Inaalay lamang sa 'yo
Sinaktan mong aking damdamin
Nguni't di mo na sana sinaktan ang puso ko

REFRAIN 1:
Sinaktan mo ang puso ko
Sinaksak mo ng kutsilyo,
Binuhusan mo ng asido, pinukpok ng martilyo

CHORUS:
Sinaktan mo ang puso ko
Ngayon ako'y naghihingalo
Mauubusan na 'ko ng dugo
Sinaktan mo ang puso ko

Naaalala mo pa ba nu'ng nagsasama pa tayo
Nilalagyan mo ng bubog
Ang palaman ng tinapay ko, Manonood ng sine,
Isang linggong naghintay sa'yo
Sabi mo traffic ka lang, naniwala naman ako

(Repeat Bridge)

REFRAIN 2:
Sinaktan mo ang puso ko
Nilagyan mo ng turnilyo
Sinunog mo ng posporo, hinampas mo ng tubo

(Reapeat Chorus)

Ba't di mo ka'gad sinabi sa 'king
Di mo na ako gusto
Nakuha mo pa akong ipakagat sa aso n'yo
Sinisiraan mo 'ko sa harap ng magulang mo
Yung manananggal sa Sampaloc,
Ang sabi mong kapatid ko

(Repeat Bridge)

REFRAIN 3:
Sinaktan mo ang puso ko
Kinaskas mo ng sipilyo
Tinaktakan ng Ajinomto, ipinakian sa aso

(Repeat Chorus)

REFRAIN 4:
Sinaktan mo ang puso ko
Tinagpas ng jungle bolo
Pinang-linis mo gn banyio, dinikdik mo ng maso

(Repeat Chorus)

CODA:
Sa makakarinig nito,
Please lang,
Pakibalik ang puso ko.

"Sinaktan Mo Ang Puso Ko" (You Hurted My Heart) is a humorous song by Michael V.Well, everybody knows that Michael V. doesn't sing, but when he do - Its always humorous.

In this song he describes how awfull he was literally hurt by his loved one.On the first verse he was already stabbed. Then recalling his past events with her.The persona's unfortunate event included eating glass shards on his bread (which was fed by her),Burnt with a match ,Pummeled by an iron tube and intended embarrassment to other people.

In a way its funny. But it happens in reality. Oh yes, you're right.We are talking about battered wives.These Ladies, after serving their husband with all their might being subjected to harassment.No one ever deserve that kind of treatment.Yet it still happens all the time in this modern era. This song brings a realization to all despite its comedic theme.

After suffering too much in the song, the persona lost his 'heart'.Maybe he can no longer feel love and trust and is asking for anybody that could have it.

Featured Song: Kunin Mo Na Ang Lahat Sa Akin

Kunin Mo Na Ang Lahat Sa Akin - By Jeremiah Lyrics

May gusto ka saking mahal
May balak kang agawin sya
Itsura pa lang sakin lamang ka na
Ligawan mo sya siguradong magwawagi ka

Nakikiusap ako sayo, nagmamakaawa
Kunin mo nang lahat sa akin
Wag lang sya

Kunin mo na ang lahat sa akin
Wag lang ang aking mahal
Alam kong kaya mong paibigin sya
Sakin maagaw mo sya
Pakiusap ko sayo magmahal ka na lang ng iba
Kunin mo na ang lahat sa akin
Wag lang ang aking mahal
Ikamamatay ng puso ko
Pag sa aki'y inagaw mo sya

May pakikilala ako sayo
Kasing ganda ng mahal ko
Sya na lang ang ibigin mo

Nakikiusap ako sayo nagmamakaawa
Kunin mo nang lahat sa akin
Wag lang sya...Wag lang sya

Kunin mo na ang lahat sa akin
Wag lang ang aking mahal
Alam kong kaya mong paibigin sya
Sakin maagaw mo sya
Pakiusap ko sayo magmahal ka na lang ng iba
Kunin mo na ang lahat sa akin
Wag lang ang aking mahal
Ikamamatay ng puso ko
Pag sa aki'y inagaw mo sya

Ikamamatay ng puso ko
Pag sa aki'y inagaw mo sya

The song "Kunin mo na ang lahat sa akin" is a song originally made by the Band Jerimiah.Now the song has been modified through the revision or Angeline Quinto.
Personally this song has rhyme and is good but, i completely don't like the persona's way of protecting his love.

The persona in the song really begs another guy not to court her beloved lady.He is very insecure about himself, as depicted by the lyric "itsura pa lang sa akin magwawagi ka na".The guy even volunteered to introduce his so-called competitor to another lady.

It's amusing that her lady is the most important to her.But doesn't he has any guts to fight for that love.I think its not really love if a person cannot even defend it.The person on the song appears not to have trust on his partner.Regarding her throughout the song as a person prone to be swayed away by another person.

ON MY PERSONAL POINT OF VIEW: if you really love something.Protect it at any Cost!!! Or at least have faith on your partner. :D\

Featured Song: Martilyo

MARTILYO by GLOC 9 feat. LETTERDAYSTORY Official Lyrics

Dito sa amin kung san nang galing
Mga makatang ulam at kanin
Lamang ang bayad pero pumapayag
Upang masubukan at mapatunayan…

Chorus
Lagi mong tatandaan
Ganito lamang ang dapat na ginagawa mo
Huwag mong palalampasin ang pagkakataon
Kailangang pukpokin ang pako para bumaon

Narito nang muli ang isang taong
‘Di nag atubili na aking mabago ang
‘Yong pag tingin sa mg ataong humahawak ng
Mikropono kahit maputik ay humahakbang
Lumalakas sa bawat pawis na pumapatak
Bawat tinog ng palakpak sakiy tumatatak
Pero ‘di tumaas akong mga paa
Nakatutong sa lupa dahil alam ko na
Akoy nasa pinas may pila sa bigas
Ilan lang ang sikat na bulsa’y di butas
Para ‘di mautas dapat ay matigas
Ang ‘yong mukha kahit paano’y matikman ang

Refrain
Katas ng ubas ang problemay lutas
May maayos na tela maong di kupas
Ang sabi mo sa’kin ay hindi ko na makakaya
Pang habulin mga pangarap
Ay ipunin at pagkatapos ay higupin
Higupin ng higupin
Parang baso na may yelo
Iilang salita pa ba ang dapat kong banggaitin
Na laging bumebwelo
Bueno
Yaman din lamang na ako’y narito na sige
Pakinggan ang mga bagong nasulat kong kanta

Repeat Chorus

Bridge:
Hindi mo kayang pigilan
Hindi mo kayang galusan
Ang puso kong balot sa bakal
Na patuloy patuloy
Sa pagtibok

Humihinga kahit amoy bulok
Walang tigil sa pag subok
Kahit parang gabuhok
Lang ang posibilidad
Mula sa murang edad sa pawis laging babad
Kumakayod sa syudad
Akinse o atrenta kilo o delata
Kanin na mas mura pa ang cd na pirata
Ng bata na si pollisco
Si gloc ba kamo mismo
Bawat plema ng pangngutya ay tiniis ko

Refrain II
Listo pa rin kahit na inaantok
Baka may mapaginipan akong kanta na patok
Sa masa na para bang itoy nag sisilbing pang lunas
‘Di maalis parang sibuyas kahit na ika’y maghugas kamay
Gamit ang baretang sabon ni inay
Bawat salitang ginagamit ang isip moy tinatangay
Ng tula ko tandaan wala pang nagbabago
Pag pinalo ng lulubog ang pako

Repeat Intro

"Martilyo" (Hammer in English) is a Rap song by Gloc9 that certainly causes me to be pumped up when I am pressed by problems.Although in my understanding, the song is for aspiring singers/rappers to keep on trying hard and never losing hope.I still find it very applicable to me.

Life is indeed thorny and hard, that is a certain fact.Somehow we can deal about it by Hammering it, or in terms of the music "Pukpukin para bumaon".We can only do it by being disciplined and tough by ourselves.Once we have determined the right way of living, we must strive to maintain it  ("ganito dapat ang gnagawa mo").Never hesitate a moment when an opportunity arrives, its a choice given to us by GOD.Even though risky, as long as we have confidence on ourselves and faith.We shall never loose.Faith itself is the greatest source of encouragement to us.

After such confidence and dicipline has been aquired.Nothing can ever stop us from pursuing our dreams.Dreams may be for the sake of highest level a carrer can offer or as noble as maintaining the keep and balance of everyday living.

Several stanzas on the song poetically describes the positive outlook by being 'tough' on our daily lives.

Mabuhay ang Walang Humpay na Pagsisikap!

Featured Song: Sirena

GLOC-9 feat. Ebe Dancel "Sirena" Lyrics

Ebe:
Ako’y isang sirena
Kahit anong sabihin nila ako ay ubod ng ganda
Ako’y isang sirena
Kahit anong gawin nila bandera ko’y di tutumba
Drum na may tubig ang sinisisid
Naglalakihang mga braso sa akin dumidikdik
Drum na may tubig ang sinisisid
Sa patagalan ng paghinga, sa’kin kayo ay bibilib

Gloc 9:
Simula pa no’ng bata pa ako,
Halata mo na kapag naglalaro
Kaya para lahat ay nalilito,
Magaling sa Chinese garter at piko
Mga labi ko’y pulang pulang pula,
Sa bubble gum na sinaba
Palakad lakad sa harapan ng salamin,
Sinasabi sa sarili “ano’ng panama nila”
Habang kumekembot ang bewang,
Mga hikaw na gumegewang
Gamit ang pulbos na binili kay aling bebang
Upang matakpan ang mga pasa sa mukha
Na galing sa aking ama
Na tila di natutuwa sa tuwing ako’y nasisilayan
Laging nalalatayan,
Sa paglipas ng panahon ay di ko namamalayan
Na imbes na tumigas ay tila lalong lumalambot
Ang puso kong mapagmahal
Parang pikit matang bulol.

Ebe:
Ako’y isang sirena
Kahit anong sabihin nila ako ay ubod ng ganda
Ako’y isang sirena
Kahit anong gawin nila bandera ko’y di tutumba
Drum na may tubig ang sinisisid
Naglalakihang mga braso sa akin dumidikdik
Drum na may tubig ang sinisisid
Sa patagalan ng paghinga, sa’kin kayo ay bibilib

Gloc 9:
Hanggang sa naging binata na ako
Teka muna mali, dalaga na pala ‘to
Pero bakit parang lahat ay nalilito pa rin
Ano bang mga problema nyo
Dahil ba ang mga kilos ko’y iba,
Sa dapat makita ng inyong mata
Sa tuwing nanonood ng liga laging natutulala
Kahit di pumasok ang bola ako’y tuwang tuwa
Kahit binaliw na sa tapang, kasi ganun na lamang
Akong paluin ng tubo kahit kinakalawang
“tama nanaman itay, di napo ako pasaway
Di ko na po isusuot ang lumang saya ni inay
Kapag ako’y naiiyak ay sumusugod sa ambon
Iniisip ko na lamang na baka ako’y ampon
Kasi araw araw na lamang ay walang humpay na banat
At inaaabot ang ganda ko papailalim ng dagat

Ebe:
Ako’y isang sirena
Kahit anong sabihin nila ako ay ubod ng ganda
Ako’y isang sirena
Kahit anong gawin nila bandera ko’y di tutumba
Drum na may tubig ang sinisisid
Naglalakihang mga braso sa akin dumidikdik
Drum na may tubig ang sinisisid
Sa patagalan ng paghinga, sa’kin kayo ay bibilib

Gloc 9:
Lumipas ang mga taon na nagsipag-asawa
Aking mga kapatid, lahat sila’y sumama
Nagpakalayo layo ni hindi makabisita
Kakain na po itay, nakahanda na’ng lamesita
Akay akay sa paglakad paisa isang hakbang
Ngayo’y buto’t balat ang dati matipunong katawan
Ngayon sa iyong kaarawan, susubukan kong palitan
Ang lungkot na nadarama, wag napo nating balikan
Kahit medyo naiinis hindi dahil sa nagka-cancer
Kasi dahil ang tagapag-alaga mo’y nakaduster
Isang gabi, akoy iyong tinawag, lumapit
Ako sayong tabi ikay tumangan, kumapit
Ka sa aking kamay kahit hirap magsalita
Anak, patawag sana sa lahat ng aking nagawa
Di sinusukat ang tapang at ang bigote sa mukha
Dahil kung minsa mas lalake pa sa lalake ang bakla

Ebe:
Drum na may tubig ang sinisisid
Naglalakihang mga braso, sa’kin dumidikdik
Drum na may tubig ang sinisisid
Sa patagalan ng paghinga sakin kayo ay bibilib
Ako’y isang sirena
Kahit anong gawin nila
Bandera koy di tutumba…

Sirena is Gloc9's latest hit produced by Sony Music.Inpired by raising awareness against discrimination of those who belong to third sex(esp.Gays).

The rap song illustrates the early life of a young gay as he is being subjected to harasment of his father and brothers due to his sexual orientation.To me, refering themselves as "sirenang di tutumba" refers to thier pride to overcome obstacles and prejudice being given to them.

The persona in the song was subjected to insults, harassasment and discrimination.But he has never found hatred and vengance among his family. In fact, according to the story.After his 'real men' brothers left thier home. He willfully stayed and took care of his ailing father.Trully man enough to show respect to a father that discriminated him.
