ONE BIG FIGHT!

PUSO
by: spongecola

Hinihingal ka lang
May oras pang natitira
Kahit parang ang layo pa
Habol

Kung harangan ka man
Sumalakay man mga bantay
Lahat kami Maghihintay
Habol, habol!

Refrain:
Dehado kung dehado
Para sa'n pang mga galos mo
Kung titiklop ka lang
Titiklop ka lang
Matalo kung matalo
Huwag ka sanang magkakamaling
Sumuko na lang
Woah

Maagawan ka man
Lalung huwag kang papipiga
Kumpiyansa lang bawat bangga
Woah

Kumaripas ka na
Humanda ka na sa paglipad
Pakpak nati'y ilalantad
Woah

Repeat Refrain

Chorus:
Ang puso
Iaalay
Sa laban
Kapalit ay tagumpay

Ang puso
Iaalay
Sa laban
Kapalit ay tagumpay

Repeat Refrain

Ang puso
Ialay
Sa laban
Kapalit ay tagumpay

Chorus:
Ang puso
Iaalay
Sa laban, sa laban, sa laban, sa laban mo

Intrumental

Coda:
Ang puso
Iaalay
Sa laban
Kapalit ay tagumpay
(Repeat thrice)

Chris Tiu

Maraming nagsasabing siya raw si “Mr. Perfect!" Nasa kanya na raw kasi lahat ng katangiang inaasam ng mga kababaihan—gwapo, mayaman, matalino, at star player! Mas lalo pang naging matunog ang kanyang pangalan nang tinanghal noong nakaraang linggo ang kanyang grupong Blue Eagles ng Ateneo De Manila University bilang kampeon sa Univesity Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) Men’s basketball. Kaya naman bukambibig ngayon ang kanyang pangalan hindi lang sa kanyang eskwelahan, kundi sa iba’t-ibang unibersidad sa Kamaynilaan.

Nakadagdag rin sa kanyang popularidad ang ilang product endorsements na makikita sa naglalakihang billboards, pahayagan at telebisyon bukod pa rito ang pagho-host niya sa ilang GMA TV shows.
