Текст и перевод песни Ex Battalion - Pakinabang

Pakinabang

Sabi ng iba kapag ikaw ay nakilala
Babatiin ka kahit hindi mo kakilala
Lahat ng kakilala ay makakaalala
′Pag 'di ka na kilala, lahat sila wala na

Wala kang pakinabang (Pakinabang)
Sa mata ng nakinabang (Nakinabang)
Pagkatapos makinabang (Makinabang)
Wala ka nang pakinabang (Pakinabang)

Ganu′n talaga ang ugali ng iba
Minsan ay mabait kapag kailangan ka
Pero kapag nagkulang
Halos tabunan ka ng masasakit niyang mga salita

Marami na 'kong nakilala sa 'ki′y nakinabang
Kapag walang-wala ka na, ′di ka nila kailangan
Anong pag-uusapan, wala namang baryangan
'Di ka dapat magtiwala, ′yun lang ang kailangan

Napalingat ka, dapat mag-ingat ka, dapat nakadilat ka
Kasi dapat 'di ka niya, ′pag nahimas ka, lahat malilimas niya
Lahat ng kilos mo nakikita niya kahit pa umiwas ka
Sa una pakitang-gilas pero sa huli 'pag ubos na, lilikas na

′Di ka na, 'di ka na kailangan nu'n
′Di ba nga, sabi niya, "Anong pakinabang nu′n?"
'Di mo na halata, napakautak nu′n
Gusto nila lagi na bagyo, ayaw nila sa ambon

Sabi ng iba kapag ikaw ay nakilala
Babatiin ka kahit hindi mo kakilala
Lahat ng kakilala ay makakaalala
'Pag ′di ka na kilala, lahat sila wala na

Wala kang pakinabang (Pakinabang)
Sa mata ng nakinabang (Nakinabang)
Pagkatapos makinabang (Makinabang)
Wala ka nang pakinabang (Pakinabang)

Sabi nila, wala kang pakinabang, 'di ka na kailangan
Kailangan daw ′yung bago, bagong magagatasan
'Yung hindi na pumapalag, laging opo ang sagot
At higit sa lahat ng 'yun, ′yung bobong ′di magtatanong

Mahabang panahon ang ginugol ko para marating ang katayuan ko
Pawis, luha, oras at patak ng dugo ang puhunan ko
Pumusta nang walang katiyakan sa larong nu'n, ′di ko alam
Hanggang sa guminhawa at ang bulsa ko ay magkalaman

Bigla niyang nakilala, tumabi na ang kumilala
Kahit na 'di ko kakilala, lahat gusto na makasama
Kahit na ′di ko kapamilya, lahat sa 'kin ay umaasa
Laging nakasahod, unahan pa sa pila, lahat gustong tumamasa

Ganyan sila pero bigay lang kasi meron pa
Ba′t ngayon, biglang nag-lay low porke't bangkosero na
'Yung mga dati na linta noon, saan na napunta?
′Yan sila ′pag walang mahita sa 'yo ay tapon ka

Sabi ng iba kapag ikaw ay nakilala
Babatiin ka kahit hindi mo kakilala
Lahat ng kakilala ay makakaalala
′Pag 'di ka na kilala, lahat sila wala na

Wala kang pakinabang (Pakinabang)
Sa mata ng nakinabang (Nakinabang)
Pagkatapos makinabang (Makinabang)
Wala ka nang pakinabang (Pakinabang)

Bakit paggising ko ay wala na sila?
′Yung mga kasama ko nung marangya ang buhay
Mga kasama magsaya na nangako
Kung maghirap ay hindi mawawala

'Yan ang mga galawan ng gustong sumabay sa agos
Mabait sa harapan mo pero saksak sa likod pagtapos
Tapos, ′pag 'di mo matulungang makaraos
Bigla na silang mawawala, parang nag-snap si Thanos

Nandiyan sila 'pag meron ka, ′pag wala, naglalaho na parang bula
Nasa′n na ba napunta 'yung akala na kasangga mo
Sa hirap at ginhawa′y aaya
'Yun nandiyan nung puno pa ang bulsa at pitaka

Mga para nang imbisibol nung kita′y 'di na visible
Yung tropa mo na mawala ay para bang impossible noon
Pero ngayon, nasaan sila?
Kung umasta ay para bang ′di ka na kilala

Sabi ng iba kapag ikaw ay nakilala
Babatiin ka kahit hindi mo kakilala
Lahat ng kakilala ay makakaalala
'Pag 'di ka na kilala, lahat sila wala na

Wala kang pakinabang (Pakinabang)
Sa mata ng nakinabang (Nakinabang)
Pagkatapos makinabang (Makinabang)
Wala ka nang pakinabang (Pakinabang)

Saan ka pa lulugar sa mundo na puro boss
Handa kang bumargain, sunud-sunuran kahit inaapi nang lubos
Sa mga gusto nila na mangyari, iba ang ′yong kutob
Hindi ka pu-pwedeng umangal kahit pa ba na labag sa ′yong loob

Kasi kahit ikaw pa ay mapaos o kahit ikaw pa ay mamalat
Kailangan mo lang na sumunod, wala kang karapatang sumabat
Lalo na at hangga't ika′y mabigat, nakita nila na ikaw ay nakaangat
Hindi ka nila basta bibitawan para't sa leeg mo na nakakagat

Parang vampi-yeah, lahat ng dugo, sipsip, walang humpay
Hanggang matuyo, parang sampay tapos ipapaligpit, goodbye
Kapag sumuway, palalabasing masama sa tao
Ay wala kang utang na loob para bang sumbat ng iyong inay

Wala ka na′y at sa kanilang tanikala, pumalag ka man 'di na kinaya
Pagkatapos ka nilang pakinabangan, puro pakabig, walang itinaya
Ganyan kagaling maghugas-kamay, parang mga taong sumampalataya
Palalabasing ika′y masama para sasabihing hindi ka dinaya

Sabi ng iba kapag ikaw ay nakilala
Babatiin ka kahit hindi mo kakilala
Lahat ng kakilala ay makakaalala
'Pag 'di ka na kilala, lahat sila wala na

Wala kang pakinabang (Pakinabang)
Sa mata ng nakinabang (Nakinabang)
Pagkatapos makinabang (Makinabang)
Wala ka nang pakinabang (Pakinabang)

Yeah, ah, kala mo′y okay na kasi nakatulong ka
Binigay na′ng lahat ng gusto at ultimo luho niya
Kaso pa'no ′pag gumuho ka, 'yung wala ka nang madukot sa bulsa
Tablado ka na, may kaso ka pa, sa′n ka pupunta?

Talagang ekis kahit sa'n mo pa titigan
Ikaw pa yung huhubaran pagkatapos mong bihisan
Mga dugyot ang pagkatao, walang kalinisan
Pagkatapos magsipaglamon, plato biglang iiwan

Mga hugas-kamay lang pero hindi ′yung pinagkainan
Bawat tanong ang daming rason, ayaw mapagsabihan
Kaya malamang yari ka lalo na 'pag nagka-badtripan
Talagang ikaw ang puntirya, 'di ka na para pahagingan

Kaya mag-ingat ka lalo na ′pag madali kang makisama
Kasi maiisahan ka nila

Kaya ngayon, sinasabihan na kita
′Pag pumili ka ng kaibigan, 'wag tulad nila
′Pag may kailangan sa 'yo ay tiyak na bubulagin ka
′Pag nakuha na iiwan ka nila, 'yan ang sabi ng iba

Sabi ng iba kapag ikaw ay nakilala
Babatiin ka kahit hindi mo kakilala
Lahat ng kakilala ay makakaalala
′Pag 'di ka na kilala, lahat sila wala na

Wala kang pakinabang (Pakinabang)
Sa mata ng nakinabang (Nakinabang)
Pagkatapos makinabang (Makinabang)
Wala ka nang pakinabang (Pakinabang)

Benefit

They say that when you're known
They'll greet you even if you're a stranger
All acquaintances will remember
When you're not known anymore, they're all gone

You're useless (Benefit)
In the eyes of those who have benefited (Benefited)
After benefiting (Benefiting)
You're no longer of use (Benefit)

That's how some people are
Sometimes they're nice when they need you
But when you fall short
They almost bury you with their hurtful words

I've met many people who have used me
When you have nothing left, they don't need you
What's there to talk about, there's no bargaining
You shouldn't trust, that's all you need

If you're careless, be careful, you should be alert
Because you shouldn't be with them, if they touch you, they'll wipe everything clean
They see your every move even if you turn away
At first, it's all show-off, but in the end, when it's all gone, they'll run away

You're no longer needed
Right, they said, "What good is that?"
You don't even notice, they're so cunning
They always want a storm, they don't want drizzle

They say that when you're known
They'll greet you even if you're a stranger
All acquaintances will remember
When you're not known anymore, they're all gone

You're useless (Benefit)
In the eyes of those who have benefited (Benefited)
After benefiting (Benefiting)
You're no longer of use (Benefit)

They say you're useless, you're not needed
They need something new, something new to exploit
Someone who doesn't fight back, always answers yes
And on top of all that, a fool who doesn't ask questions

I spent a long time to reach my status
Sweat, tears, time, and drops of blood were my investment
I gambled without certainty in that game, I didn't know
Until things got better and my pockets were full

Suddenly she met me, those who knew me stepped aside
Even if I don't know them, everyone wants to be with me
Even if they're not my family, everyone depends on me
Always ready to scoop, first in line, everyone wants a piece

That's how they are, but I just give because I still have
But now, they suddenly lay low because I'm broke
Where did all the leeches go?
That's them, when they see nothing in you, they throw you away

They say that when you're known
They'll greet you even if you're a stranger
All acquaintances will remember
When you're not known anymore, they're all gone

You're useless (Benefit)
In the eyes of those who have benefited (Benefited)
After benefiting (Benefiting)
You're no longer of use (Benefit)

Why are they gone when I woke up?
Those who were with me when life was luxurious
Friends who had fun and promised
They wouldn't leave if I became poor

That's how those who want to go with the flow act
Nice to your face but stab you in the back afterwards
Then, if you can't help them get through
They'll suddenly disappear, like Thanos snapped

They're there when you have, when you don't, they vanish like bubbles
Where are those who you thought were your comrades
Who would invite you in both hardship and comfort
Those who were there when your pockets and wallet were full

They're like invisible when you're no longer visible
Losing your friends seemed impossible then
But now, where are they?
They act as if they don't know you anymore

They say that when you're known
They'll greet you even if you're a stranger
All acquaintances will remember
When you're not known anymore, they're all gone

You're useless (Benefit)
In the eyes of those who have benefited (Benefited)
After benefiting (Benefiting)
You're no longer of use (Benefit)

Where do you fit in a world full of bosses
Ready to bargain, obedient even if you're being oppressed
Your gut feeling is different about what they want to happen
You can't object even if it's against your will

Because even if you become hoarse or even if you lose your voice
You just have to obey, you have no right to speak up
Especially as long as you're heavy, they see that you're elevated
They won't let go of you easily, they're already biting your neck

Like a vampire, yeah, they suck all the blood, non-stop
Until you're dry, like laundry hung out to dry, then they'll pack up, goodbye
If you disobey, they'll paint you as a bad person
Like you're ungrateful, just like your mother's scolding

You're gone, and even if you fight back against their chains, it's no use
After they've used you, it's all take, no give
That's how good they are at washing their hands, like people who have found religion
They'll make you look bad so they can say they didn't deceive you

They say that when you're known
They'll greet you even if you're a stranger
All acquaintances will remember
When you're not known anymore, they're all gone

You're useless (Benefit)
In the eyes of those who have benefited (Benefited)
After benefiting (Benefiting)
You're no longer of use (Benefit)

Yeah, ah, you thought it was okay because you helped
You gave her everything she wanted and even her every whim
But what if you crumble, when there's nothing left in your pockets
You're screwed, you're in trouble, where will you go?

Definitely a big X, no matter where you look
You'll be the one stripped naked after you're dressed
Filthy people, no cleanliness
After they've gorged themselves, they'll suddenly leave their plates

They just wash their hands, not the dishes they ate from
Every question has a million reasons, they don't want to be told off
So you're probably screwed, especially if they're in a bad mood
You're definitely the target, you don't need hints anymore

So be careful, especially if you're easy to get along with
Because they'll gang up on you

So now, I'm telling you
When you choose your friends, don't be like them
If they need something from you, they'll surely blind you
When they get it, they'll leave you, that's what they say

They say that when you're known
They'll greet you even if you're a stranger
All acquaintances will remember
When you're not known anymore, they're all gone

You're useless (Benefit)
In the eyes of those who have benefited (Benefited)
After benefiting (Benefiting)
You're no longer of use (Benefit)
