Hardcore Poetry Lyrics - Ogie Alcasid

It depends on who is looking at the tenement walls 

Whether he's coming home or passing through 

You can walk the streets and find so much to criticize 

But that would be the easy thing to do 

'Coz there's beauty in the concrete 

If you see it with your heart 

The sidewalks only hurt you 

If you hate them from the start 

THIS IS A SONG NOT NECESSARILY SWEET 

I'LL PASS IT ON TO FOLKS THAT I NEVER WILL MEET 

AND IF MY WORDS DON'T MAKE HISTORY 

JUST CALL IT HARDCORE POETRY 

You can blame the world if troubles come 

And knock at your door 

Let your weakness cut you down to size 

If you find some fault with everything surrounding you 

Maybe it's your narrow-minded eyes 

'Coz there's music in the city 

If your ear is to the ground 

Only nonbelievers never hear a single sound 

THIS IS A SONG NOT NECESSARILY SWEET 

I'LL PASS IT ON TO FOLKS THAT I NEVER WILL MEET 

AND IF MY WORDS DON'T MAKE HISTORY 

JUST CALL IT HARDCORE POETRY
