EDSA 05:32
EDSA Words & Music by Tolitz Rosel Lumiko sa may kanto ng Roxas, isang aircon bus ang sinasakyan Dumungaw sa aking bintana, minamasdan ang takbo ng buhay sa labas... ang buhay ng tao Paikot ikot ang mundo, hindi mo malaman kung sa’n ka patungo Kailangan pa bang alamin kung saan hihinto Matindi ang trapik sa Makati Nagkalat ang mga naglalako sa Guadalupe Andaming sasakyan sa daan, Walang tigil ang singitan at pag-uunahan... walang bigayan Paikot ikot ang mundo, hindi mo malaman kung sa’n ka patungo Kailangan mo bang alamin kung saan hihinto Duon sa EDSA, duon sa EDSA, doon sa EDSA Duon sa EDSA, mabuti pang maglakad Sa Cubao nakakita ng bangaan Malayo pa ako sa ‘king pupuntahan Hindi mo ba napapansin ang mga babaeng nagbebenta ng laman Sa tabi ng daan Paikot ikot ang mundo, hindi mo malaman kung sa’n ka patungo Kailangan pa bang alamin kung saan hihinto Duon sa EDSA, duon sa EDSA, doon sa EDSA Duon sa EDSA, mabuti pang maglakad Nagising dun sa may Monumento Lampas na ‘ko sa ‘king gusting puntahan Gusto ko nang tumalon sa labas, ngunit hindi pupuwede Umaandar pa ang bus na sinakyan Paikot ikot ang mundo, hindi mo malaman kung sa’n ka patungo Kailangan mo nang alamin kung saan hihinto Duon sa EDSA, duon sa EDSA, doon sa EDSA Wala na akong pera, Wala na akong pera Wala na ‘kong pera, duon sa EDSA Napilitang maglakad...

UNFORTUNATE SON words & music by tolitz rosel Saw you walkin’ at the fields the other day You were smilin’, you had nothing to say You were so quiet that day the people heard not a sound They think you’re insane Coz you’re talkin’ to yourself the other day You were cryin’, I had nothing to say But I remember the day back when you were just a child Your heart was runnin’ wild And they said you’re the unfortunate one Coz they never knew the battles you’ve won You always tried hard to be a part of the crowd But they said you’re the unfortunate one You were happy, a child without a care Loved your daddy, you were mommy’s sweet bear But no one knew that one day things really got out of hand You went home to find no man’s land Mom was drinking, she was crying because Dad was cheating She can’t handle the loss You saw your Dad’s bloody body lying dead on the floor Mommy said she doesn’t want it anymore And they said you’re the unfortunate one Coz they never knew the battles you’ve won You always tried hard to be a part of the crowd But they said you’re the unfortunate one As a young man you always knew what to say told your girlfriend you’ll be married someday She said she loved you but you found her in your bed one night She was sleepin’ with another man What possessed you to do the things you did With the gun that you found in your house that night The sparks were flying in your eyes when you shot her head Forever changing your life And they said you’re the unfortunate one Coz they never knew the battles you’ve won You always tried hard to be a part of the crowd But they said you’re the unfortunate one And the years went by, then we saw you again You’ve been living your life in a valley of tears One day you walked through the fields, we never saw you again Your life was burned by the light And they said you’re the unfortunate one Coz they never knew the battles you’ve won You always tried hard to be a part of the crowd But they said you’re the unfortunate one You always tried hard to be a part of the crowd But they said you’re the unfortunate one Coz you are always the unfortunate one Coz they want to believe you’re the unfortunate one Coz you’ll always be the unfortunate son

Kaibigan 04:40
KAIBIGAN Words by Tolitz Rosel & Mok Oliveros Music by Fred Agustin, Jay Baloyo & Gaylord Garcia Ang alaala ng pagkabata na hindi maiaalis sa isipan ko’y ang mga kaibigan na katulad n’yo Kahit na magunaw pa ang buong mundo At tuwing tayo’y magkikita, umaagos muli ang bukal ng saya Hindi mapapantayan ang pagsasamahang magbarkada Gaano man ang agwat Kahit kailan kaibigan, kahit kailan ay daramay sa iyo Sa lungkot, o saya, o saan saan pa Pare ko, hindi magbabago Sakali ma’t tayo’y may alitan, mga bagay na di mapagkasunduan Nandiyan ka, at ako, at ang bote ng beer Problema’y alisin at huwag nang isipin Kahit kailan kaibigan, kahit kailan ay daramay sa iyo Sa lungkot, o saya, o saan saan pa Pare ko, hindi magbabago Hinding hindi malilimutan ang pinagsamahan Iba ang may pinagsamahan At pag tayo’y magkasama, umaagos muli ang bukal ng saya hindi mapapantayan ang pagsasamahang magbarkada Gaano man ang agwat Kahit kailan kaibigan, kahit kailan ay daramay sa iyo Sa lungkot, o saya, o saan saan pa Pare ko, hindi magbabago Iba ang may pinagsamahan, iba ang may pinagsamahan Sa lungkot o saya, o saan saan pa Iba ang may pinagsamahan, kaibigan
