GENTO
GENTO (Like this)
I want some, I get some, no later
I woke up and baked that potato
Got carbed to shape me for major
But I stay me, not mediocre
Look at me, tell me what you see
All Gucci? but the real question is "Who's really me?"
A movie's definitely not my reality
'Cause you see "Filthy, filthy, filthy"
Eww, gross
Yeah, I'm gonna see you later (Later)
after I take a shower (Shower)
I'm starting to feel the power (Power)
But the sourness ain't enough for them haters that's why
I'll learn as much as I could
Termites aren't welcome in my home
It's said the tough ones are just restrained
But when they go crazy they'll certainly roar
Like this, like this
This isn't just some bingo
That you need to complete like a bento
Like this, you think you can survive it?
Kept digging inside my cranium
Just to reach gold, gold
Without stopping, I still go a hundred percent
Each attempt, by myself, can you do this?
You won't easily see something like this
Like this, mm, yeah, yeah, like this, like this
You won't easily see something like this
I don't really need to swallow a stone
I'm not Darna, my engine will run
I'm my own mechanic, there's no need for Moniko
With all that I've been through, my stories have piled up
Nosey, gossipy, come and climb up here
It was never an easy feat, admit it or not
Behind the hidden sobs are my treasured pains
easy-peasy, always ready, even Mephisto
will fold when I go beast mode
No rush I can do this all day (No rush)
Twenty-four mentality like Kobe (Mamba)
The harder I work, the harder I play
There're no "home courts" to me, I'll dunk it even if it's "away"
Here it is, here it is, stop blabbering
'Cause when I go up, shout, "Defense up!"
I'm from the ground
Even if you try to dig it, you can never achieve this
Yeah, I know this isn't over (Over)
The disaster hasn't ended (Disaster)
I know that I'm in danger (Danger)
But I'm betting you sooner it'll be better that's why
I will learn as much as I could
Stand-bys aren't welcome in my home
All raised eyebrows
Will have them burn till they realize
Chorus
Like this, like this. Ooh, yeah
This isn't just some bingo
That you need to complete like a bento
Like this, you think you can survive it?
Kept digging inside my cranium
Just to reach gold, gold
Without stopping, I still go a hundred percent
Each attempt, by myself, can you do this?
You won't easily see something like this
Excavate it like this
Don't settle for the ordinary
Keep scratching, go on, until it bleeds
You won't easily see something like this
Like this, like this, like this, like this, like this, like this (Ahh, like this)
Excavate it like this (Like this, like this)
Don't settle for the ordinary (Like this, like this)
Keep scratching, go on, until it bleeds
You won't easily see something like this

Ken's part is all basketball reference. home courts, away games, defence up, go up, and slam dunk.
chose the word cranium as it is closer to bumbunan than head or brain, which would be ulo and utak. the correct english word would be "fontanel" the space between an infants between the frontal and parietal bones.
song talks about gold being the reward for hardwork. so preferred using excavate vs dig regarding the weight of digging required for gold.
stand-bys (istambay) are unemployed housemates, a bum. in Philippine english.
idiom: magsunog ng kilay literally burn ones eyebrows, means to burn midnight oil in english or study hard all nighter.
