When Justin Sky first heard the beat for what would ultimately become Manifesto, the concept became clear. The energy & passion reflected a moment that would be the start of something special. With features from TV & rap star Benjamin Earl Turner and LA rap savant Tommy Sketch, the 3 friends...
2 and a possy
Yo, TLF
Woah, woah, ya know I can’t let go
It’s all in the mental
From the get go
Bet that
It’s my manifesto
(Justin Sky):
Sky boy fallin thru the clouds wit a heat rock
Comet kamikaze Layin it down like Sheetrock
Dyin if I don’t see the light like deathnote
Nights like this hit the chest like a breaststroke
Yea I'm risin like the sea level these devils
Wanna glimpse of the king livin on the brink of decease
I decrease the diseasе and the crease on my wings
Hеlp me beam like a, help me beam like a…. dream
Said I’m goin up Scottie
Gone with the wind tell the judge no pardon
Fugitive, floatin like Angel in the garden
With a flamethrower, Beethoven, takeover they goin OFF
Let the smoke sine guide you
All skin folk ain’t Ken, though, Ryu
Pick a spot lick a shot live it tho it should go
Different, smoke, dippin thru my veins like a piru
Woah, woah, ya know I can’t let go
It’s all in the mental
From the get go
Bet that
It’s my manifesto
(Benjamin Earl Turner):
Yall niggas got a lot of attitude for some bitches
I remember old niggas bristling bout my britches
All these dead white men in my Balmains yall can’t relate
My taste over time got expensive, yo bitch know my flava flav
But my hoe said yo ho, yall need to know this ain’t Costco
No cap check the ASCAP
What the fucks a free sample
I’m taxing, 1040, in all black with my woadies
45 in the waistline, ankle look like parolees
Mouth look like Pirellis
I inherited the violence that kept big Mama’nem folding
That's how come we Machiavelli
What the fuck is gettin ready? I stay that
Niggas in Paris is fine, but niggas in power? It’s scary to say that
Like grandpappy hairline, this shit goin way back
One man’s manifest destiny put another man on a ship’s manifest
Ship man son manifesto is destined to bring your apocalypse
So when I rock yo shit that's a blood diamond
Simon says shoot a nigga eye and leg
Get em buried with a patch and peg
Ay ay captain full speed ahead
Watch me turn my gold to lead and my lead to prayer
Why the fuck you think we always out here shooting at air
Its cause I got me an inheritance
Riches taken by the white americans
Splitted up between the fairer skinned
This is how you talk when you prepared to win
Ya know?
Skrrrrrrr!
Woah, woah, ya know I can’t let go
It’s all in the mental
From the get go
Bet that
It’s my manifesto
(TOMMY SKETCH):
Like this Like this
Said I wanna whip til I got a new whip
Said I wanna whip til I got a new whip
Said I wanna skrrr skrrr skrrrr
Brand new shoes and a whole new fit
Actin like a nigga never told you shit
Actin like a nigga never showed you shit
I’m a made nigga like i’m foldin shit
I could make niggas come and fold you bitch
Sick with the pen nigga spin in a Benz
Wrote that shit down and
I’m like Kazaam
Me and my mans dem
We command demand a man
Won't say please like Amanda man the man I manifest my whole quest
Yes, praise to me, I’m so blessed, yes
I pull strings like Bowflex and I carry big weight if a nigga gon flex
Yes, sleep on me, I won’t stress
But on some petty shit I hope you don’t rest
Rest assure I’m a threat for sure
4 red dots you what I’m connected for?
Yea, plugged up
Meet the team on high you and yo team got mugged up
Where was ya dogs when we saw you gettin roughed up
I done spoke my whole goals
And niggas think I lucked up
Life’s in the power of the tongue, dumb nigga shut up
It’s all in the mental
From the get go
It’s my manifesto
(Justin Sky):
I'm back
We livin in a twilight world I’m bouta snap
Ten toes down to the bottom of the map
Devil in the details, God in the retail
Look what he sell just to buy his soul back
I ain’t like that I was diggin for a diamond
Sunrise climbin wasn't worrybout the timin
Clepto, couldn’t let go from the get go
Til the pesos imazone like Bezos
Bet tho, wit my dog like petco, death row
To the lighthouse, it was lights out if a debt owed
Bounce back… dont need a echo
Hard Jay? Nah, say I’m ill like Esco blaow
How could I ever let go NOW?
When I feel I got the best prose OUT?
All hands on deck in the press row
Got a bomb vest and a fresh manifesto BLAOW
Ha, who

Whoa, whoa, we shut down the flow
It’s from the get go

Whoa, whoa, we shut down the flow
