SWERTE English Translation Lyrics by Because
I still remember the first time I went to The Fort
Lingering while observing things I couldn’t afford
Keeping distance with the reach of my skateboard
The same place where I saw my first Billboard
All the labor eventually paid off
Five years truly make a difference
Can’t help but look back
What if things hadn’t happened?
What if I had gotten angry right away?
When times weren’t as comfortable
Just to spread my name
Walked from Quiapo to Malabon
To where
My one pair of pants has taken me
Feelings as strong as denim
From hip-hop to barong
Only hoped to reach others
Experiencing days of shortage
Things I wished for from the well
Believed until they became true
Became true
Thanks to the higher power, I’m lucky
Everything I think of has become possible
Everything I think of has become possible
My joy is real and no longer fake
In another country, I’m spending blessings
I remember when it was impossible to be possible
Gucci in my hands is no longer fake
Louis V and Mercedes
Off-White shades, no Plan B
Quiet like in Van Cleef
In Dubai but my team still meets on Zoom
The tallest building is clearly visible from my room
Resting to be more energized when I resume
Chilling with locals, learning how they wear perfume
Life’s been good
Done with the drama
Got up stronger
Ignoring the trauma
Life’s been good
Done with the drama, I’m off that drama shit
When stuck in the past
Hard to get back
I just do what excites me
Only time will reveal all the things you want to know
So don’t bother knowing
If I’m a player, they say I’m a player, a player
Hmm…
Who says?
No one here can say
So I say
Thanks to the higher power, I’m lucky
Everything I think of has become possible
Everything I think of has become possible
My joy is real and no longer fake
Thanks to the higher power, I’m lucky
Everything I think of has become possible
Everything I think of has become possible
My joy is real and no longer fake
Player, I’m no longer a player
I’m no longer a player
I’m no longer a player
