Blue

[Intro: M.anifest]
Aah...!
Chaley what dey happen?

[Hook: M.anifest]
Chaley what dey happen?
Mek I tell you sometin
Sometin dey my inside
E dey mek I weak e dey mek I… (High)
I get high off this crazy blues
I’m so high off this crazy blues
I get high off this crazy blues
I’m so high off this crazy blues

[Verse 1: M.anifest]
I got dirty feet that I tap on this dirty beat
Many men never heard of me
But certainly if they follow my trajectory
They would find that I’m royalty
And the younger me
Wants to climb on a mango tree
And I miss me felling free
And I miss me eating that Kelewele
Girls shaking their wele right in front of me
And I miss me walking barefooted and innocent
Talking pidgin, Ghanaian citizen
Pounding of fufu, I miss the beat
And I miss them calling me Dadabee, (Haye!)
Home is where my heart is
Torn from home, could be so heartless
Visual memoirs of a travelling artist
Case of the blues I got it the baddest

[Hook 2: M.anifest]
Chaley what dey happen?
Mek I tell you sometin
Sometin dey my inside
E dey mek I weak, e dey mek I… (High)
Chaley what dey happen?
Mek I tell you sometin
Sometin dey my inside
E dey mek I weak, e dey mek I…
I get high off this crazy blues
I’m so high off this crazy blues
I get high off this crazy blues
I’m so high off this crazy blues

[Verse 2: M.anifest]
Gari, Akɔ-kɔɔ and beans
These are the things that I see in my dreams
Abi, you know sey my eye red
E Kyɛɛ waa since I last chop tea bread
Palm wine, sɔk plus calabash
I mek fine, everything be straight cash
One time four corners mek we bash
Kyenesa, obey-the-wind (Aahh!)
Ewurade Nyankropɔn, Pɔnpipɔnpipɔn
That’s the sound of the horn we turn it on
Everything done changed since I’ve been gone
But still all the same for right or wrong
Kokrokoo, the crack of dawn
Aye, lampoon that’s taxes aye
Blues for home I feel today
Feeling great but high

[Hook 2: M.anifest]
Chaley what dey happen?
Mek I tell you sometin
Sometin dey my inside
E dey mek I weak, e dey mek I… (High)
Chaley what dey happen?
Mek I tell you sometin
Sometin dey my inside
E dey mek I weak, e dey mek I…
I get high off this crazy blues
I’m so high off this crazy blues
I get high off this crazy blues
I’m so high off this crazy blues

[Verse 3: M.anifest]
I grew up hearing Tic-Tac, Buk Bak, Reggie Rock
Obrafour Rap sofuor, DJ Rab
Soul Sis Naa Adjorkor, Woodman
Bushke, Groove FM, Mr Black
VIP, What up to Promzy
Nana King, Cy Lover, Sammy B
Back then, Talking Drums Kwaku-T
Funkstone’s first name was Freddy (Julz)
Vibe Café, Me, Baza and Sammy-T
Now he’s Scientific and he’s Blitz see
Lord Kenya, Nananom, Chicago
Before Kwadee, there was Ex-Doe
Mɛnsa was Shine from Lifeline
KG & PM, Hammer Time (Last Two)
Abrewa Nana one of a kind
Nostalgia, thought I’d put it in rhyme

[Hook 2: M.anifest]
Chaley what dey happen?

Sometin dey my inside
E dey mek I weak, e dey mek I… (High)
Chaley what dey happen?
Mek I tell you sometin
Sometin dey my inside
E dey mek I weak, e dey mek I…
I get high off this crazy blues
I’m so high off this crazy blues
I get high off this crazy blues
I’m so high off this crazy blues
