Don’t Worry by J. Reyez (contains explicit lyrics)
Lyrics to Don’t Worry by J. Reyez
(Verse 1)
I paint a picture for anybody that’s been broke
all the hard times that you just couldn’t let go
doing everything that you could just to get dough
but please leave the violence out, put down that pistol
I know how it feels now, stressed out and busy
I’m trying to pay the bills now, maturity just hit me
I’m trying to make it, why am I even stressful?
I should be glad God made me this successful
I’ve lived it all, witnessing my mom lose her job
after when my parents split, seen my dad move and gone
didn’t even give a f*ck, I used that excuse a lot
I kept it moving, I’m determined, I refuse to stop
stories of pain, I’m trying to see them brighter days
if I could get some motivation, use it right away
but never write in vain, I’m trying to make a change
represent for finding hope, exchange it for the fame
(Chorus)
don’t worry no more, don’t cry no more
just keep your head strong ’cause there’s still more hope
yeah, we gon’ pull through this thing, don’t you worry
all the bullshit and pain, don’t you worry
we need to strive and we all got potential
motivation is a daily essential
we gon’ pull through this thing, don’t you worry
all the bullshit and pain, don’t you worry
(Verse 2)
it ain’t over just because you fell a couple times
stop being lazy, you need to get up and try
a couple mo’ times, don’t waste your own time
there’s no easy route, stop wasting it on crime
when it catches up, when that crime gets you
you’ll be isolated from the joy that life gives you
staring a blank wall, wishing you never did that
for the rest of your life, every day you’ll regret that
getting locked up is no f*ckin’ life homie
the good die young but that ain’t f*ckin’ right homie
I even built the strength to leave that damn life behind
time to grow up and you’ll find that man right inside
build the courage up, catch your damn dreams
for the kids, if you could see what a man sees
understand, it pays off, what it’s meant to be
make your peers proud, surrounded by positivity
Nerdcore rapper Adam Warrock released his first free EP “Planet Express” about FUTURAMA! Feel the funk of the 6 track EP from the Planet Express Crew to Zapp Brannigan’s sultry love tactics. Even Bender has his own track. Here’s more from Adam Warrock about his new EP:
I’ve been a fan of Futurama for, well, most of my adult life. I can’t even begin to tell you how many times I’ve watched the original four seasons (commentaries included), and how overjoyed I was when it got brought back by Comedy Central. Look, I love The Simpsons (anyone who’s around my age has to, it’s law), but I’ve always been one of those obnoxious people who say that Futurama is both funnier and more emotionally rewarding on a more consistent basis. At least, that’s my personal opinion. And if you don’t agree? Then bite my shiny metal ass.
Here’s the complete track listing:
1. The Future (Of Delivery)
2. Brannigan’s Law
3. A Song by Holophoner
4. Roswell That Ends Well
5. Do the Bender

Lyrics to Opo Pinoy Style (Filipino Oppa Gangnam Style Parody) by Mikey Bustos
Opo Pinoy style, Pinoy style
When I come around you know it’s gunna be a party,
Cuz I come from a land that’s more fun than the other countries,
Where we ace our exam with flying colours cuz we studied,
and there’s nobody else that can cook better than our mommies
Yeah it’s hotter here,
And that is why my skin is brown
and you’ll find water here
to wash my bum after I’m done raiding my
fridgidaire,
Cuz I proud that I’m pinoy I shout it everywhere, and tattooed it here
A baby duck still, inside the egg shell,
It tastes good
It’s called balut
I eat my ulam, rice and sawsawan
with my hands, i close open,
you have two godparents I have ten…
Weeh…
Opo Pinoy style! Pinoy style. Op-op-op-op-op opo Pinoy Style…. Pinoy style. Op-op-op-op-op opo Pinoy Style….
A pinay lady
stays where it’s shadey!
My name is Mikey Bustos, your one and only Pinoyboy,
I’m pointing with my lips, cuz hands are busy eating penoy,
Blessing to the elderly I mano po to Lola,
but now my forehead smells like ginger cuz she cooked tinola
During summer yeah it is super scortching hot,
and the rest of the year, yes it is still so scortching hot,
but really I don’t care,
Cuz I just use my split type air con, I can peepee here
almost anywhere
Cuz I do OK in videoke, magaling in tinikling,
Yes I am gwapo, haba ng hair mo, as I court you
That’s how we do, Beautiful eyes will get to you!
I wear barong, while eating chicharron
Just watch us take over the world with a plastic balloon
And I’m on my cell phone, texting in jejemon,
And I am BV during brown out cuz there’s no aircon, bat ganun, Opo Pinoystyle
Long live Filipinos op-op-op-op-op Opo Pinoy style
Mabuhay ang pilipino op-op-op-op-op Opo Pinoy style
