Yo, it’s Manus to society I’m buying the time for the weak
I recognize the mighty so I speak to the mind of the free Fuck the psychiatry, ‘cause I am the doctor to be
I may be a wee bit psychotic, but it’s the Irish in me Tiocfaidh ár lá, see I’m taking the street
Screaming our day will come motherfucker you’ll bleed
I don’t drink but I’ll puff on any day of the week
‘cause when you’ve tried weed there’ll never be a way to retreat
It’s subliminal the way it makes me stick to the beat, Almost criminal the way my flow can kill the elite
I’m living in a kitchen while you’re bitching ‘bout your suite but I’m happier than most, I’m as good as can be
You ain’t nothing but a ghost you’re living life as a cheat Póg mo thóin bitch, you and those other suckers are beat I’ve risen to my feet to meet you at eye-level you see ‘cause I say its time for the devil to take a seat
But people are coming up with prejudices in need of self-justification justifying the greed that’s overtaking humanity manageably easy
Which seems to be unbelievably creepy
Our governments gunning among the other ten
And none of them will even pretend to be anybody’s friend the younger men are sucked in, living in a den
Of the same generation over and over again
Chorus:
Ma m-ma Manus to society
My daddy called me Manus but he should've called me Stringer Bell
Ma m-ma Manus to society
Picking a pocket or two, tipping my crew whenever the criminal fell
Ma m-ma Manus to society
I don’t own nothing but my own soul to sell
Ma m-ma Manus to society
Whoever you’re thinking you are, you can fuck off, or you’ll be going to hell
Verse:
I’m gonna tell you a story but about a bloke that I met You may know him but just wait and let me tell you the rest He’s rich motherfucker but a coward at best
Trying to take over the whole control of the west
It wasn’t enough, so the eagle flew from its nest
Over seas to the middle east to take what was left
And start a war solemnly based on the meaning of theft, the concept left a whole generation oppressed
Where to go next? To protest, we know best so go guess and hope that we can make a humanitarian progress (”It's hopeless”), nah you're living in denial
A revolution can begin within the mind of a child Defining the smile of all the other people to come
As long as we unite together and fight the regime as one we can take at once, abolish power and guns
And live forever happily free in a sequence of fun
We could be seeing the kids laugh now, instead of them having to back down and black out whenever the people in power decide to attack crowds The crack house is filling at a steady pace
For which reason we should rely on a heavy state
To compensate for all the mistakes made in the industry
Private agents are able to take anything they please
That’s why we see all of these guys lying in the street
Begging the rich to get what they need, looking for truth, trying to breath
Chorus:
Ma m-ma Manus to society
My daddy called me Manus but he should've called me Stringer Bell
Ma m-ma Manus to society
Picking a pocket or two, tipping my crew whenever the criminal fell
Ma m-ma Manus to society
I don’t own nothing but my own soul to sell
Ma m-ma Manus to society
Whoever you’re thinking you are, you can fuck off, or you’ll be going to hell
