Kahapon at Ngayon lyrics

[Verse 1] Naaalala ko pa, ang mga araw na nagdaan Batang naglalaro sa kalsada, walang alinlangan Mga kapitbahay, tunay na magkakakilala Simpleng tawanan, sapat na para sumaya [Chorus] Noon at ngayon, mundong nagbago Laging may pait, sa bawat alaala't kuro Teknolohiya'y umuusbong, mabilis ang takbo Sana'y 'di malimot, tunay na puso ng tao [Verse 2] Ngayon, hawak ang selpon, mundo'y nasa kamay Likes at followers, sukatan ng tunay na buhay Mga uso'y mabilis, lumilipas na parang hangin Saan patungo ang henerasyong ito, sino ang magsasabing? [Chorus] Noon at ngayon, mundong nagbago Laging may pait, sa bawat alaala't kuro Teknolohiya'y umuusbong, mabilis ang takbo Sana'y 'di malimot, tunay na puso ng tao [Bridge] Ngunit sa bilis ng pagbabago, may bagong pag-asa Malikhain at malaya, kayang baguhin ang masa Kahit magkaiba, noon at ngayon ay may ganda [Chorus] Noon at ngayon, mundong nagbago Laging may pait, sa bawat alaala't kuro Teknolohiya'y umuusbong, mabilis ang takbo Sana'y 'di malimot, tunay na puso ng tao

The idea it was sung from

Gumawa ng isang malungkot ngunit magandang awiting rap sa wikang Tagalog tungkol sa pagkakaiba ng buhay noon at ngayon sa Pilipinas. Estilo: Makalumang Pinoy hip-hop, malalim na rap, boom bap, at makabagong tugtugan. Gumamit ng mabagal hanggang katamtamang bilis ng tugtog, malalim na tugtugin ng tambol, banayad na piyano, at malungkot na himig na nagbibigay ng damdaming pangungulila. Nilalaman:
