Inflation

By Marck Ronald Rimorin

(After “Ignition,” by R. Kxlly)

Now usually I don’t do this but uh
Go head’ on and break ’em off wit a lil’ preview of the remix…

Now I’m not tryin’ to be rude
But hey ang mahal mahal ng food
The way you raise the prices too
Parang kulang pa sweldo ko

That’s why tumataas ang bills
Kahit wala ‘ko sa hotel
Kasi di mura ang bigas
Lahat ng presyo nagtaas

So baby gimme that bokbok
Sa kanin kong cheap cheap
Nag-i-import ng galunggong
Nagmahal din ang talong
While they sayin’ on the radio

It’s the remix to inflation
Now highest in ASEAN
With rates at six point four percent
Nagtaas ang price ng bilihin

Mahal na ang Coke and rum
Thanks to Tatay Digong
Wag nang lumabas sa weekend baby
Pagkat wala ‘kong datung

Drugs drugs drugs drugs drugs
Drugs drugs drugs drugs drugs

Now it’s like OK lang daw to
It’s like the economy will grow
Pero bakit ganoon
Kulang ang pera ko tsong

Girl I’m buyin’ what you’re buyin’
Coz that’s the limit of my bilihin
I’m about to take my money
And watch it burn from inflation

So gimme that fruit fruit
Mahal na mag jeep jeep
Uutang and what do I owe
Five-six ang punta nito
While they sayin’ on the radio

This is the remix to inflation
Now highest in ASEAN
With rates at six point four percent
Nagtaas ang price ng bilihin

I’m gonna take out a loan
Di naman ako bum
But the peso’s weakened baby
Di ko afford uminom

Prices rising it’s a stretch for the defenders
Wala nang food anywhere, unless afford mong mag-cater
We got Dilawans to my left, DDS to my right
We bring them both together and they will argue all night

Then after the show it’s the (post inflation)
And after the post inflation it’s the (new recession)
Around six months you gotta (have elections)
Then take it to the streets and have EDSA revolution

Can I get a toot toot
Can I get a bleep bleep
While I’m out here writing this song
Nagmahal din ang bagoong
Ganito pala ang six point four
Na sinasabi sa radio

This is the remix to inflation
Now highest in ASEAN
With rates at six point four percent
Nagtaas ang price ng bilihin

Sabay declare ng martial law
Just to keep all food prices low
Ano ba kasi ang nakain
Ng gobyernong ito
