Lil Wayne Knows How To Love

I just came across Lil Wayne's How To Love entry in the Top 100 Music Hit Chart, and was impressed with how he has, in my opinion, improved when it comes to singing. Or maybe I just really like it when a rapper doesn't rap, but sings the lyrics instead.

I was just looking for more songs to download, with the intention of updating my playlist, and that led me to the discovery of this rapper's new song. He amazed me this time because I can now understand what he says. Bad grammar didn't stop me from hitting Download and I really harassed the replay button. It's because the melody has truly captured my ears. After all, he's a rapper who's trying to sing just like what Snoop Dogg, Eminem, and Kanye West do.

The song also caught me off-guard as I didn't expect Lil Wayne to sing a love song by himself. His was the voice I just listened to all because he collaborated with the artists I like. But this time, he made it to my playlist for I can now understand what he says--he's talking about how it is to love.

The lyrics show how he sympathizes with ladies who entrust their hearts to someone, but get their tickers broken in the end. He somehow tells every woman that there will always be that one man who's not one of those crooks, just wanting to steal her heart. Someone who thinks that she's beautiful, far from the usual. And hearing advices from a guy's perspective always gets me every time. I now wonder whom did he compose this song for.♥

Tag-ulan

Liwanag kang sumisilaw sa aking mga mata
Pinababangon ako sa init ng umaga
Ngunit may tanikalang sa aki'y nakagapos
Mga bangungot na hindi maubos-ubos

Pilit kang inaabot sa kabilang bahagi
Ng kamang hindi naman ikaw ang kahati
Madalas kang humihimpil sa isipan ko
Sa sulok na 'di pa nararating ng kahit na sino

Walang pagtilaok tayong naririnig
Nakatikom na nag-uusap tungkol sa pag-ibig
Magkasamang naglalayag sa kawalan
Kapwa may hinahanap na 'di malaman

Malamyos kang tinig na hinahanap-hanap
Humahalughog sa damdaming nakatabing sa mga ulap
Gumigising sa humihimlay na pananampalataya
Muling mahuhulog, babagsak ang mga luha

Mga patak na dapat ay sinasalo.

Dine In

Dati,
Ayaw na ayaw kong kumain nang mag-isa.
Pero nang masubukan ko kanina,
Okay lang din pala.
Walang hinihintay,
Walang hinahabol,
Walang ibang iniintindi,
Sarili ko lang.
Pero sasabihin ko pa ring hindi.
Lalo pa't may kaingayan ang nasa kabilang lamesa.
Hindi pa rin mas masayang kumain nang mag-isa.
Iba pa rin ang dating kapag ika'y tinititigan
Ng kasamang nakaupo sa iyong harapan.
O 'di kaya'y mapagsasabihan
Ng lantang joke na narinig mo sa radyo,
Ng makukurutan ng ulam kapag ubos na 'yung sa'yo,
Ng mahihingian ng kanin
Kapag ikaw ay nabitin.
At hindi ng langaw na ubod ng bastos,
'Di man lang makahalatang hindi ka pa tapos.
Kaya hindi.
Hindi mas masayang kumain nang mag-isa.

Matagal pa ba?
