Key Ko

Kinabukasan, Kilos, Kusa, Kabataan
Ilan lamang sa mga pinagtutuunan
nitong mambabatas na ating pinagkatiwalaan,
na siyang magbigay ng pagbabago sa ating bayan.

Ngayo'y bulong-bulungan na siya'y tatakbo,
sa posisyong ikalawang-pangulo,
ang akin eh sige nga sir, nang maipakita mo,
kung paano maglingkod at hindi magpaka-trapo

Walang ibinabandilang partido,
sawa na sa pagiging makalumang pulitiko,
Indipendiente niyang haharapin,
hamon ng eleksyong sa 2010 nakahain

Siya kaya ang hinihintay ng madla?
bayaning may gawa at hindi puro salita,
Nawa'y siya na nga ang susi
ng kaunlarang kay tagal ko nang minimithi

People's Ch-U-AMP!

Leadership, Hope, Wisdom, Strength
all of these epitomized in the way I stand.
All you people should listen in awe,
as I clench my fist and then open my paw!

But behind the Herculean-Solomonish character,
is the Me that still sits in wonder.
How should the gears in me tick?
Should I inspire or make them sick?

I am put by the populace in a position,
to be an emblem of headship or to immerse in corruption.
Is this really how the politics is built?
A life torn between public service and personal guilt?!

Now I speak strong and weak in ambivalence,
but the show must go on, and be the face of reliance.
I'm seeing erratic portraits as I am in this ramp,
In their eyes, am I A People's Chump? or The People's Champ?
