“Karera” Lyrics by BINI
Verse 1: Stacey
Minsan ay nahuhuli ang sarili na
Nag-aalala, ah
Mga bagay na ‘di kontrolado pinoproblema
Pero teka lang
Pre-Chorus: Jhoanna
Meron bang humahabol sa’yo? (Oh-oh, ooh-woah, oh-oh, ooh-woah)
‘Di naman dapat matulin ang pagtakbo, ooh-woah, ooh-woah, oh
Chorus: Gwen, Colet
Sino bang nagsabi na kailangan kong mauna?
Hindi naman ito karera, pwedeng magdahan-dahan
Sa bawat panibagong umaga
Ang pagsimula muli ay isang tagumpay na
Post-Chorus: Mikha, Maloi
Oh, oh-oh-oh
‘Wag mag-alala, buhay ay ‘di karera
Woah, oh-oh, oh, ooh-woah
Dahan-dahan lang, buhay ay ‘di karera (Buhay ay, oh-oh)
Verse 2: Aiah
Minsan ay nalilimutang huminga sandali
Magpahinga lang saglit (Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
At ‘di kailangang magmadali para magwagi
Pwedeng unti-unti
Pre-Chorus: Colet
Wala namang humahabol sa’yo (Oh-oh, ooh-woah, oh-oh, ooh-woah)
‘Di naman dapat matulin ang pagtakbo, oh
Chorus: Sheena, Maloi
Sino bang nagsabi na kailangan kong mauna?
Hindi naman ito karera, pwedeng magdahan-dahan
Sa bawat panibagong umaga
Ang pagsimula muli ay isang tagumpay na
Post-Chorus: Gwen, Jhoanna
Oh, oh-oh-oh
‘Wag mag-alala, buhay ay ‘di karera
Woah, oh-oh, oh, ooh-woah
Dahan-dahan lang, buhay ay ‘di karera
Interlude: Colet, Gwen, Jhoanna, Maloi
Oh-woah, oh, woah, oh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ah, ah-ah, yeah, yeah
Buhay ay ‘di, oh-oh, ‘di karera
Buhay ay ‘di karera, oh-oh
Verse 3: Stacey, Mikha
Hey, hey, BINI
Maraming beses nangamba, nadapa, tumaya
Naniwala sa mundong madaya, uh
Ano nga ba? Sino nga ba? Ikaw ba? O ako ba?
Hinay lang, ‘wag mabahala-hala (Uh-huh, uh-huh)
Yah, ‘wag ka nang maniniwala sa paniniwala
Na dapat makipag-unahan sa karera
Kung wala namang karera, dahan-dahan, tahan lang
Kakayanin umpisa pa lang
Chorus: Maloi, Jhoanna
Sino bang nagsabi na kailangan kong mauna?
Hindi naman ito karera, pwedeng magdahan-dahan
Sa bawat panibagong umaga
Ang pagsimula muli ay isang tagumpay na
Post-Chorus: Sheena, Colet
Oh, oh-oh-oh
‘Wag mag-alala, buhay ay ‘di karera
Woah, oh-oh, oh, ooh-woah
Dahan-dahan lang, buhay ay ‘di karera
Refrain: Aiah, Mikha & Stacey, Gwen & Sheena, Colet, Maloi, Jhoanna
Walang masyadong mabagal, walang mabilis
Sa pagtakbo ng buhay, hindi ka mimintis
Hingang malalim lang at tandaan
Ika’y may hawak ng iyong hakbang
Walang masyadong mabagal, walang mabilis (Oh)
Sa pagtakbo ng buhay, hindi ka mimintis (Oh)
Hingang malalim lang at tandaan (Oh)
Ika’y may hawak ng iyong hakbang (Buhay ay ‘di karera)
Walang masyadong mabagal, walang mabilis (Oh, oh)
Sa pagtakbo ng buhay, hindi ka mimintis (‘Wag mag-alala)
Hingang malalim lang at tandaan
Ika’y may hawak ng iyong hakbang (Yeah, yeah)
Walang masyadong mabagal, walang mabilis (Ooh, ooh)
Sa pagtakbo ng buhay, hindi ka mimintis
Hingang malalim lang at tandaan
Ika’y may hawak ng iyong hakbang
Outro: All
Dahan-dahan lang, buhay ay ‘di karera
