Anak by Freddie Aguilar

“Ngayon nga`y malaki ka na
At nais mo`y maging malaya
Di man sila payag walang magagawa
Ikaw nga`y biglang nagbago
Babae na ang iyong gusto

Naging matigas ang iyong ulo

At ang payo nila`y sinuway mo
Di mo man lang inisip
Na ang kanilang ginagawa`y para sa `yo
Pagkat ang nais mo`y masunod ang layaw mo,
Di mo sila pinapansin”

Hahaha kidding, kidding, kidding…

Seriously,

The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill

My world it moves so fast today

The past it seems so far away

And I squeeze it so tight, I can't breathe

And every time I try to be

What someone has thought of me

So caught up, I wasn't able to achieve

But deep in my heart the answer it was in me

And I made up my mind to find my own destiny

And deep in my heart the answer it was in me

And I made up my mind to find my own destiny

And deep in my heart the answer it was in me

And I made up my mind to find my own destiny
