The Best Of Francis M.

You know, there are a lot of sucker MCs out there, right?
Uhuu, a lot of sucker DJs
Uhuu, a lot of wannabes
Uhuu
Oh, me? I'm a sucker for, for, helium
Here... ahh... I like this stuff, man.
This one is real s**t man...
Ha ha ha...
You like some? Ha ha ha... key
Maxine, Maxine, you like some?

So many faces, so many races
Different voices, different choices
Some are mad, while others laugh
Some live alone with no better half
Others grieve while others curse
And others mourn behind a big black hearse
And some are pure and some half-bred
Some are sober and some wasted
Some are rich because of fate
And some are poor with no food on their plate
Some stand out while others blend
And some are fat and stout and some are thin
And some are friends and some are foes
Some have some while some have most
Yeah

Every color and every hue
Is represented by me and you
Take a slide in the slope
Take a look in the kaleidoscope
Spin it around and make a twirl
In this kaleidoscope world

Some are great and some are few
Others lie while some tell the truth
And some say poems and some do sing
And others sing thru their guitar strings
Some know it all while some act dumb
Let the baseline strum to the bang of the drum
Some can swim but some will sink
And some will find their minds and think
Other walk while others run
You can't talk peace and have a gun
Some are hurt and start to cry
Don't ask me how, don't ask me why
And some are friends and some are foes
Some have some while some have most
Yeah

Every color and every hue
Is represented by me and you
Take a slide in the slope
Take a look in the kaleidoscope
Spin it around and make a twirl
In this kaleidoscope world

Yeah
Kaleidoscope world
In this kaleidoscope world

Let the sun shine
Let the rivers run away
Coz its a beautiful day now
To play now
As I close my eyes and pray
Lord have mercy on me
Coz Im feeling kinda lonely
Would you be, could you be
My one and only

Took a train at a station
And almost lost my patience coz I was waiting
Damned rain delayed the train
Now Im waitin in vain
Just to see your face
Is this the one that im supposed to be afraid of
Is this the one that im supposed to be ashamed of
Hard as a rock not soft like play-do
Everytime I hear a song playing on the radio

Let the wind blow
Let the wind touch my face
I wanna take a little break now
Shake now
This is what I have to say
I feel so fine
So fine that it blows my mind
Tell the truth
When will you be mine

And in my dream you are so real
So it seems
Inside my head a giant screen
Plays every scene
While I scream
I feel you everytime I go to sleep
Wake up in the middle of the night
And I weep
Its gotta be mine
That girl is so fine
Girl be mine
Girl be mine
All it takes is a matter of time

And in my dream you are so real
Or so it seems
Inside my head a giant screen
Plays every scene
So you see
I feel you everytime I go to sleep
All it takes is a matter of time
Tell the truth
Will you be mine

Sunshine
Let the rivers run away
Coz its a beautiful day now
To play now
As I close my eyes and pray
Lord have mercy on me
You know im feeling kinda lonely
Could you be, would you be

Let the wind blow
Let the wind touch my face
I wanna take a little break now
Shake now
This is what I have to say
I feel so fine
So fine the it blows my mind
Tell the truth
When will you be mine

Let the sun shine
Let the rivers run away
Coz its a beautiful day now
To play now
And as I close my eyes and pray
Lord have mercy on me
You know im feeling kinda lonely
Could you be, would you be
Could you be, would you be
Could you be, would you be
Be mine

Three stars and a sun, in one sky, so high,
I live and die and die will I for my
Motherland this is the land of my birth,
No purse is worth the price of this earth
Can we rise, can we all, hell no!,
Or should we all just take the fall?
Bless the man if his heart and his land are one

...3 stars & a sun!

3 stars & a sun! I'm ready to defend the 3 stars & a sun!
Ommision to a mission, transport for the brain,
Packed w/ stacks of tracks built for a train,
I eat lead, but I never let it be said,
"He said, she said," it makes me see red
'Cuz I don't take bullshit & I'm 'a pack it and push it,
And hit you w/ the full clip
Switch to mode lock-'n'-load in the land of Juan

...the 3 stars & a sun!

3 stars & a sun! I'm ready to defend the 3 stars & a sun!
Bahay kubo kahit munti, may pula,
Bughaw, dilaw, atsaka puti
There is a need to sow the seed,
Toil the soil and plod until your hands bleed
'Cuz this land is sacred,
Many a battle have been fought with hatred
Don't tell me that you understand,
It's been 4 hundred years of tears
For the brown man,
Still and all the fight has just begun
...3 stars & a sun!
3 stars & a sun! I'm ready to defend the 3 stars & a sun!

Kapag ang tao'y masipag, tumatatag ang buhay,
Nagsusumikap kahit mahirap, ialay
Ang pawis sa kinabukasan,
At nang tayong lahat ma-biyayaan, huwag kalilimutan
At laging tandaan ang hagdang
Paitaas ang siyang laging tahakin
Anuman ang iyong gawin,
Kahit yun at yun din, gawin mong magaling at sa
Puso'y manggaling
Nasa palad mo ang kapalaran,
Kabataan para sa kinabukasan
Oras ay ginto, gamitin ng mahusay,
Dahil and oras ay walang hinihintay
Peace-kapayapaan
Nature-kalikasan
Children-kabataan
Kabataan, kalikasan para sa kinabukasan,
Iwasan ang pagkakamaling ating naranasan
Oras nang magtubos, daig natin 'wag sayangin,
'wag hayaang maubos
Oras na para kumilos (make a stand)
Magkapit bisig para sa daigdig (hand in hand)
Mulat na kabataan ang sagot,
'wag masasangkot sa ipinagbabawal na gamot
Kundi'y gamitin ang talino,
Maging tunay na bayani, makabagong pilipino
Sulong kabataan, ipakita ang lakas,
Tunay at wagas na pag-asa ng bukas

Nasa palad mo ang kapalaran
,

Kabataan para sa kinabukasan
Oras ay ginto, gamitin ng mahusay,
Dahil and oras ay walang hinihintay

Sumaludo sa harap ng bandila
Kastila ka bang umaalipin sa alila?
Dinakop ng puti ang mga kayumanggi
Pinagnanakaw ang lahi at silay naghari..
Hanggang ngayon pa rin sila pa rin ang nakaupo
Ilang daang taon mula noon
Nakagapos ang ating mga kamay
Nakapiring ang mga mata
Dila'y pinuputol pag ika'y nagsasalita..
Tulad ni rizal na panulat ang pinairal
Si andres ay pinatay ng kanyang mga kakulay
Yo! Hablo espanyol?
Si senior conio
Ako ay isang mestisong indio po!
You a friend of uncle sam?
Yo! My man i am
I don't speak tagalog,but i try to understand
Piripino ka ba?
Banzai!!!
Shinjimai!!!
Dorobo kedo moto oto kumai!!!

Dugo'y inialay,para sa bayan...
Sayang naman ang kanilang pinaglabanan..
Dugo'y bumaha at naging pataba..
Bulok ang bunga,tumulo ang luha...
Dugo'y inialay,para sa bayan...
Sayang naman ang kanilang pinaglabanan..
Dugo'y bumaha at naging pataba..
Bulok ang bunga,tumulo ang luha...
Perlas ng silangan kung tawagin ang pinas
Sinilang sa silangan angkan ni malakas
Anak ni bathala at ako'y nababahala
Di ako naniniwala,na ako ay malaya..
Akala ko ba philippines 2000
Pero bakit ganoon,parang walang patutunguhan..
Kung buhay lamang ang ating mga bayani
Alam kong sila ang unang-unang
Magsasabi na kahit *kailanman*..
Bayan muna bago sarili..
Sa pagnanakaw ang nakaupo'y nawiwili..
Kapuna-puna ang mga anomalya
Ang kakapal nila mga walanghiya
Barong tagalog pa ang mga suot ng mga gago!
Pag nagtagalog,bako-bako,ang labo..
("ilan sa liderato dapat sa krus ipako")
Alam ba ninyo kung sino ang tinutukoy ko?

Dugo'y inialay,para sa bayan...
Sayang naman ang kanilang pinaglabanan..
Dugo'y bumaha at naging pataba..
Bulok ang bunga,tumulo ang luha...
Dugo'y inialay,para sa bayan...
Sayang naman ang kanilang pinaglabanan..
Dugo'y bumaha at naging pataba..
Bulok ang bunga,tumulo ang luha...
Dugo'y inialay,para sa bayan...
Sayang naman ang kanilang pinaglabanan..
Dugo'y bumaha at naging pataba..
Bulok ang bunga,tumulo ang luha...
Dugo'y inialay,para sa bayan...
Sayang naman ang kanilang pinaglabanan..
Dugo'y bumaha at naging pataba..
Bulok ang bunga,tumulo ang luha...
Dugo'y inialay,para sa bayan...
Sayang naman ang kanilang pinaglabanan..
Dugo'y bumaha at naging pataba..
Bulok ang bunga,tumulo ang luha...

Nais kong maihip ng hanging walang patutung’han
Parang ibong wala ring hangarin kundi ang lumipad nang lumipad
Nais kong lumipad

Nais ko ring maagos ng alon saan man mapadpad
Kahit na isdang mumuntiin, hangari’y lumangoy nang lumangoy
Nais kong lumangoy

Nais kong malibot ang mundo sa kanyang kasuluk-sulukan
Nais kong makita ang paligid kong puno ng kagandahan
Nais kong makadama ng kakaibang damdamin kahit minsan man lang
Habang ako ay may buhay, wala nang hangarin pang tunay
Nais ko…nais ko…nais ko…

Nais kong maulit muli ang buhay
Kung may pagkakataon upang mamalas
Ang mga bagay-bagay na ‘di ko natanto sa aking buhay
Nais kong lumipad
Nais kong lumipad
Nais kong lumipad
Nais kong lumipad
Nais kong lumipad

The answer or response
When the dog is hungry
Or needs to go pee-pee or pooh-pooh
It's your responsibility to answer to the dog's need! 

Iba't iba ang trip ng bawat tao
One-day-old, at kalderetang aso
Tao'y sibilisado raw
Nunit mga halimaw
Sa inuman ang pulutan
Ay baw-waw-waw

Mga asong nakatali
Isa-isang nawawala sa kalye, 
Tiningnan ko sa may bakuran namin
Nawawala ang aso kong itim, 
Ang pangalan niya'y Bantay
At kahit siya'y galisin, 
Siya'y kaibigan at mabuting alipin

May nagyaya sa amin ng inuman
At ako'y hiningan ng pambili ng pulutan
Agad ko namang ibinigay
Sabay tumoma habang naghihintay "Kampay!"
Luto na raw ang aming hinihintay
Isang malaking aso na itim ang kulay
Ako'y napalunok at natuyuan ng laway,... (Yukkk! )

Sila ang kumatay kay Bantay! 
Iba't iba ang trip ng bawat tao
One-day-old, at kalderetang aso
Tao'y sibilisado raw
Nunit mga halimaw
Sa inuman ang pulutan
Ay... 

Asusena... asusena... asusena
Baw-waw-waw
Asusena... asusena... asusena
Baw-waw-waw
Asusena... asusena... asusena

Mga asong nakatali
Isa-isang nawawala sa kalye,

I come in peace extend my hand to the next man in sight
No need to fight black and white, red and brown
Unite all the peoples of the world we got to make a stand
Cu'z I can't understand why a man kills another man
Where is the love and respect I stand corrected
To be protected is the right of all and we expect that
The safety of the young is the safety of us all
And if we kill 'em all and that's the beginning of a downfall
Apalled by the apathy of the administration
Students demonstrate while somebody's on vacations
Syndicate's lurkin in the underground like a plague
Cruise a vague but it's clearly gang related
I like to see the day when we can walk without fear
Without having to hear gunshots ringin in your ear
I pray someday that we can all be gettin alone
Singin a song you can be singin all night long

There won't be peace on earth
Unless we live as one
We look for peace all our live
For man, woman and child

We have a lot of wars goin on around the world
But I've heard the wars can also be avert
Failure to communicate with one another is the reason
Not a lease on life but it's a reason to be releasin
Missiles lightin up the skies till it turns red
Bombs blowin up on innocents in this bloodshed
Count the dead there's to many lives hangin by a thread
See the wounded on CNN bodies full of led
Full of trauma watch a camera catch a drama
Baby and mama killed by the ocklahoma bomba
And i'm a say this cuz this is what i have to say
If it worked agreed they d'all be still alive today
I say why can't be all be fasified civilize
Recognized the good in each everyone's life
Just realize that there won't be peace on earth
Until we learn to measure how much is a life worth

There won't be peace on earth
Unless we live as one
We look for peace all our live
For man, woman and child

Upon wakin up do we said thank you to god
Why is our god different from your god
Is in the odd or even when we tried
To cleanse or soul and take control
We always end up playing out on role on the TV shows
I know it's kinda crazy but in a way make sense
That whoever was sent to save world face rent repent
In discover the essence of existance for instance
If life was a race can we go to distance
And it's just whoever says come forth with
Is he a prophet for profit or is he makin money of it
A lotta souls to save and a lotta pockets burn
A lotta money earn from the souls searchin
That we yearn for therefore let me suggest an amendment
Wherefore we have eleven commandments
'THOUGH SHALL NOT USED THY LORD'S NAME'
To make money there's a space in hyades for hypocrisy

There won't be peace on earth
Unless we live as one
We look for peace all our live
For man, woman and child

There won't be peace on earth
Unless we live as one
We look for peace all our live
For man, woman and child

There won't be peace on earth
Unless we live as one
We look for peace all our live
For man, woman and child

It's always gonna be fightin
They're always be a push and shout

Unify and do not divide fortify (go forth) and
Multiply sow the seeds of love and life love for
Life! Love for life!

All the shit on the news can't be real,
I mean
I've had enough i can't seem to feel
All the drama in the daily headlines.
You want war? You want crime?
Peace is on the decline
I don't own a gun although i used to,
But now am free and released free
From a culture of lies and violence
So i use my pen to drop science and
Use inkblots and stains,to erase the remaining pain
But still i got questions that need to be answered
Lingering inside my brain
Like cancer, swirling flying in all directions
Can one reach perfection?
I think perfection is
Unattainable, unreachably unheard of.

Who's to live and who's to die?
Who decides who's crucified?
Why must war be part of life?
So much anger and so much strife
So much pain, there's so much hate
So many left overs on the plate
There's so many voices runnin in my head
And you know what they said?

Unify and do not divide fortify (go forth) and
Multiply sow the seeds of love and life love for
Life! Love for life!

That's why i have a belief that
I totally wanna follow
I stand by what i say that "today will be
Yesterday tomorrow" is another day,
Another way to be a catalyst for change
A long range plan, part of a master plan
That is to be attained
From the bonds of oppression unchained!
But melodious like the lonius,
Use my brain for the betterment cuz i
Can hurdle this indifference that be cloudin
People's minds how many eras of hate? How many
Times will they shut down the gates to oneness?
Why strive for survival? Is that the only thing
You live for, huh?

Who's to live and who's to die?
Who decides who's crucified?
Why must war be part of life?
So much anger and so much strife
So much pain, there's so much hate
So many left overs on the plate
There's so many voices runnin in my head
And you know what they said?

Unify and do not divide fortify (go forth) and
Multiply sow the seeds of love and life love for
Life! Love for life!
Life! Love for life!

Who's to live and who's to die?
Who decides who's crucified?
Why must war be part of life?
So much anger and so much strife
So much pain, there's so much hate
So many left overs on the plate
There's so many voices runnin in my head
And you know what they said?

Unify and do not divide fortify (go forth) and
Multiply sow the seeds of love and life love for
Life! Love for life!
Life! Love for life!
Life! Love for life!

Sumama. . .
Sumama, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma!

Friends is a word we use every day
But most of the time we use it in the wrong way
Now you can look the word up again and again
But the dictionary doesn't know the meaning of friends
Now if you ask me you know I couldn't be much of help
Because a friend's somebody you judge for yourself
Some are okey and they treat you real cool
And some mistake kindness for being a fool
We like to be with some because they're funny
Others come around when they need some money
Some you grew up with around the way
And you still grow close to this very day
Homeboys through the summer, winter, spring and fall
And then there are some we wish we never knew at all
The list goes on again and again
But then these are the people that we call...

Friends, how many of us have been?
Friends, ones we can depend on
Friends, how many of us have them?
Friends, before we go any further

Let's be friends, they come in all sizes and shapes
Try to count how many of them are we gonna make in a lifetime
We don't know for sure how many like a child take to candy
Massive or plenty, or dwindlin' if you live a life o' swindlin'
And dealin' and wheelin' or takin' heroin like Weiland
La vie en rosem c'est la vie take a pause
Will it include me, myself and I with a clause?
Applause, so selfish of myself
To forget without friends, we be worthless
We won't even worth____
Pardon my lingo, my stilo's kinda harsh
We got to mingle, tickle them funny bones
Makes it a whole lot sweeter
Margarita, I be swayin' when I take the BJ Flaming Bikini
Play Godini, that's what I say

Friends, how many of us have been?
Friends, ones we can depend on
Friends, how many of us have them?
Friend

Under a shield of darkness 
Your face glows in the moonlight 
Miss the cloudless stars in the sky, so high 
Don't wanna break free from your embrace 
Just wanna look at your lovely face 
Hold me till the end of time 

Oh, oh 
Oh, oh 

If it takes a lifetime 
Til the days turn into nighttime 
Forever 'til the next life 
Til the light escapes my eyes 
Together you and I 

It never ends cause it always starts 
A love so deep in the fathoms of my heart 
Drowning in a ocean of emotion 
You're driving me crazy and I'm helpless 
I've been taking a shower in this madness 
So please say yes 
Cause I'm confessing to you that I need you so 

Oh, oh 
Oh, oh 

If it takes a lifetime 
Til the days turn into nighttime 
Forever 'til the next life 
Til the light escapes my eyes 
Together you and I 

Oh, oh 
Oh, oh 

If it takes a lifetime 
Til the days turn into nighttime 
Forever 'til the next life 
Til the light escapes my eyes 
Together you and I 
Together you and I 
Forever til the next life 
Til the light escapes my eyes 

Together you and I 

Just you and me 
Just you and me
