SB19 “Gento” Lyrics + English Translation

[Verse 1: Pablo, Josh]
I want some, I get some, no later
I want some, I get some, no later

I woke up and baked that potato
I woke up and baked that potato

Got carbed to shape me for major
Got carbed to shape me for major

But I stay me, not mediocre
But I stay me, not mediocre

Look at me, tell me what you see
Look at me, tell me what you see

All Gucci? But the real question is, “Who’s really me?”
All Gucci? But the real question is “Who’s really me?”

A movie’s definitely not my reality
A movie’s definitely not my reality

‘Cause you see marumi, marumi, marumi, ew, kadiri
‘Cause you see it’s filthy, filthy, filthy, ew, disgusting

[Pre-Chorus: Stell, Justin]
Yeah, I’m gonna see you later (later)
Yeah, I’m gonna see you later (later)

Pagkatapos ko mag-shower (shower)
I just have to take a shower (Shower)

Medyo ramdam ko na’ng power (power)
Coz I’m starting to feel the power (power)

Pero kulang pa sa sour mga hater kaya
But the sour is not enough for them haters that’s why

Alamin ang mga bagay-bagay
I will learn as much as I could

‘Di puwedeng anay sa ‘king bahay
Won’t allow pests inside my home

Tahimik lang daw ang matibay
They say the strong ones are just silent

Pero ‘pag tinopak, talagang mag-iingay (Gento!)
But when frenzied, surely will make noise (Like this!)

[Chorus: Ken, Pablo]
Gento, gento
Like this, like this

‘Di ‘to basta-basta bingo
This isn’t instant like bingo

Need mo makumpleto parang bento
You need to have it all, just like a bento

Gento, ano, kaya mo?
Like this, hey, can you do it?

Pilit na hinukay ang bumbunan
Kept digging inside my head

Makakita lang ng ginto, ginto
Just to find gold, gold

Kahit na wala pang hinto
Even without rest

Ciento por ciento bawat bitaw ko
I still give a hundred percent

Mismo, eto, kaya mo?
Just right. Now, can you do this?

‘Di ka basta-basta makakakita ng gento
You just won’t simply find something like this

[Post-Chorus: Pablo]
Gento (hmm)
Like this (hmm)

Ge-ge-gento (uh)
Li-li-like this (uh)

Gento (ah)
Like this (ah)

‘Di ka basta-basta makakakita ng gento
You just won’t simply find something like this

[Verse 2: Josh, Pablo, Ken]
‘Di ko na kailangan lumunok ng bato, hindi mala-Darna ‘to
I don’t really need to swallow a stone, I am not like Darna

Aandar ang makina ko
I can have my engine run

Tanging mekaniko ay ako
I am my own mechanic

‘la nang moni-Moniko
There’s no need for Moniko

Sa daming pinagdaanan, nagpatong na’ng story ko
With all that I’ve been through, my stories are now storeys

Usyoso mga tsismoso, ‘lika’t pumanhik na rito, uh!
Busybodies, gossip come up here and beg, uh!

Hindi naman talaga madali, aminin ko pa man o hindi
It was never an easy feat, admit it or not

Sa likod ng mga tagong paghikbi, kayamanan kong hapdi
Behind all the hidden sobs are my treasures of hardship

Panis ‘to, laging alisto
But that’s nothing, I’m always alert

Kahit pa si Mephisto, tiklop ‘pag nag-beast mode na bihis ko
Even Mephisto will fold when I go beast mode

No rush, I can do this all day (no rush)
No rush, I can do this all day (no rush)

Twenty-four mentality like Kobe (Mamba)
Twenty-four mentality like Kobe (Mamba)

The harder I work, the harder I play
The harder I work, the harder I play

Walang home court sa ‘kin, sasalpak kahit away
There’re no “home court” to me, I’ll slam it even if I’m “away”

Heto na nga, heto na nga, wala nang magdada-dada
Here it is, here it is, Everyone just shut your mouth

‘Pag ako ang umangat, deretso sigaw, “Baba, baba”
‘Coz when I go up, I immediately say “D up!”

Ako ay galing sa lupa
I came straight from the ground

Kahit pilitin niyong hukayin, ‘ding-hindi mo makukuha
But no matter how hard you try, you can never be me

[Pre-Chorus: Justin, Stell]
Yeah, I know this isn’t over (over)
Yeah, I know this isn’t over (over)

‘Di pa tapos ang disaster (disaster)
The disaster hasn’t ended yet (disaster)

Alam ko na I’m in danger (danger)
I know that I’m in danger (danger!)

But I’m betting you sooner magiging better kaya
But I’m betting you sooner it’ll be better, that’s why

Alamin ang mga bagay-bagay
I will learn as much as I could

‘Di puwedeng tambay sa ‘king bahay
My home isn’t for doing nothing

Lahat ng magtaas ng kilay
All raised brows on us

Susunugin nang matuto namang magnilay
Will be burned until they learn their lesson

[Chorus: Josh, Justin, Stell]
Gento, gento (ooh, yeah)
Like this, like this (ooh, yeah)

‘Di ‘to basta-basta bingo
This isn’t instant like bingo

Need mo makumpleto parang bento (oh)
You need to have it all just like a bento (oh)

Gento, ano, kaya mo? (Gento)
Like this, hey, can you do it?

Pilit na hinukay ang bumbunan
Kept digging inside my head

Makakita lang ng ginto, ginto
Just to find gold, gold

Kahit na wala pang hinto (ooh)
Even without rest (ooh)

Ciento por ciento bawat bitaw ko (oh)
I still give a hundred percent (oh)

Mismo, eto, kaya mo? (Oh)
Just right, now, can you do this? (Oh)

‘Di ka basta-basta makakakita ng gento!
You just won’t simply find something like this!

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge: All]
Halukayin mo na parang gento
Dig it like this

‘Wag kang hihinto sa ordinaryo
Don’t settle for the ordinary

Kahig pa, sige, hanggang sa magdugo
Keep on scraping until you bleed

‘Di ka basta-basta makakakita ng gento
You just won’t simply find something like this

Gento! Gento!
Like this, like this

Gento! Gento!
Like this, like this

Gento! Gento!
Like this, like this

Ah, gento!
Ah, like this

[Outro: Pablo]
Halukayin mo na parang gento (gento, gento)
Dig it like this (like this, like this)

‘Wag kang hihinto sa ordinaryo (gento, gento)
Don’t settle for the ordinary (like this, like this)

Kahig pa, sige, hanggang sa magdugo
Keep on scraping, go on, until you bleed

‘Di ka basta-basta makakakita nito
You just won’t simply find something like this
