Man From Manila Lyrics

Man from Manila by Francis Magalona

I am the Man from Manila, Kami ang tinig na kayumanggi
I am the man from Manila, Buhayin natin ang himig ng lahi.

Ako’y Manileño taga Mandaluyong, Nais kung gumalaw isigaw sa buong mundo
Nasaan ang sikat ng araw, Dito sa silangan inyong matatanaw
Pitong libong islang puro luntian, Napapaligiran ng karagatan, Tayo’y nabubuhay sa archipelago
Dayuhan ay biglang pumasok at sumakop sa atin, Sabihin na sila’y kailangan natin
Tayo’y mga alipin sa sariling lupain. Tinamnan ng ninuno. Perlas ng Silanganan.
Inararo ang likas na mayamang Pilipinas. Mindanao, Visayas at Luzon.
I’m ready to defend the 3 stars and the sun. Manila ang sabi ng iba ay Maynila.
Tayo’y isinilang para upang di maging alila ng kahit nino mang sino mang dayuhan.
Mandirigmang mga likas na matapang. Guerilyero, Katipunero mga Marino.
Handang ipagtanggol ng mga sundalong pinoy Hoy! Gising! Huwag nang mabahala siyempre coz I’m the man from Manila.

I am the Man from Manila, Kami ang tinig ng kayumanggi
I am the man from Manila, Buhayin natin ang himig ng lahi.

The Man from Manila, the killer, the show stopper
Depth rhyme creator, deep like a crater Mentally equipped to rippin’ up opposition, in a second a heartbeat make you move your feet.
Rock to the beat that MOD can cut a groove to coz Francis Magalona’s here to move you
Make you understand, complicated but still I made it, A long hard climb to the top but still I’ve waited for my chance of a lifetime by rhyming dope rhymes.
Make you get a feel of what it’s like to be me one time, I was a young blood growing up reckless but God showed me the way and redirect this channel, And fought with a vision of a new tomorrow that the land that I loved be relieved of its sorrow.
And peace revitalized can reign once and forever make this land greater start with the Man from Manila.
A man is still a brand new authority, The dance floor king in full effect superiority, of hip hop madness rhymes of royal badness. From the time I perform to when I’m finished.
You’ll be glad this, records rotating coz you’ve been waiting all night to get up and move your body right. Now’s the time to let it all show. Just Go with the flow now you know that it’s the Man from Manila

Repeat Chorus
