[Intro: M.anifest]
M dɔ dɔ dɔ ti dɔ
G-Mo! Blackway!
[Verse 1: M.anifest]
You no dey pay the piper but you wanna choose the tune
What's up with these vipers? they crazy, I assume
My career went from cold night to a hot noon
Without rumors or a sex-tape and never had to coon
Still my flowers bloom while jealous cowards fume
I been in the stu' long need to shower soon
Price I pay for spending days making power tunes
I wanna kill the game and leave no witnesses, kaboom!
Started me a company, watch business boom
I don't keep company, with cynics and loons
Misery loves company, laziness loves cocoons
Fakes loves disguises, mask and costumes
I wanna wear a smile, the way I wear Djokoto
That's just my funny face, jokes Dr. Rokoto
Sipping sobolobo, thinking obolobo
Cause if I think small chaley what will I get? Foko!
Every Ice-T got a Coco
Some of the man drink tea, other man drink hausa koko
Take shots, I'll strike a pose for the photo
Take shots, apio, cause I know
[Hook: M.anifest]
Dem never feel my pain
All dey see be my reign
So they use my name in vain
My enemies dey watch
Hoping I'm victim to fame
But dey go craze go insane
Dem never feel my pain
All dey see be my reign
So they use my name in vain
My enemies dey watch
Hoping I'm victim to fame
But dey go craze go insane
[Verse 2: Blackway]
I was way off the faith shit
And never thought I'd make it
Reality is advising me to just come off the matrix
Took so many steps back that I had to evolve to basics
But I get chaw vim and now my vibe is feeling all tenacious
All these lame rappers be trying to spit their vision to me
Want them to get lost but I’m scared they just might take it literally
They said the local Ghanaian people ain't gon understand you
I said to get a Twi translator when you listen to me
Cause I ain't gon change for nothing
Not even 50 pesewas
After Sarko, E.L, M.anifest, yeah I might be the next best
So far that’s the plan, well that’s if I outlive them
But I live so fast that I’m not sure if I can
Cause all this liquor and women got me on the edge
And every therapist I've had has always had me on some meds
In the past I've always relieved stress when I grip the mic
But lately I've been feeling like
[Hook: M.anifest]
Dem never feel my pain
All dey see be my reign
So they use my name in vain
My enemies dey watch
Hoping I'm victim to fame
But dey go craze go insane
Dem never feel my pain
All dey see be my reign
So they use my name in vain
My enemies dey watch
Hoping I'm victim to fame
But dey go craze go insane
[Verse 3: M.anifest]
Ebe talk dem dey talk, me I just chock, bad boys move silently
Antidote, unorthodox, push the envelope, bribery
Funny what they perceive as friendship and what is rivalry
No you cannot rival me I arrive with the calvary
Chaley kinda baffles me why they jealous and heated
Conceited, dem want have the cake and then eat it
Seeing is believing I see demons and heathens
And the snakes have been breathing ever since garden of Eden
I stole the hearts of many you can accuse me of thievery
But where dem dey dem days I was paid so measly
And how can they compete with me they ain't half what I used be
Work thrice as hard as they would ever do usually
They tweet and try to bait us, pick fights and debate us
But no free publicity doing nobody favors
I understand the Lakers they got a legion of haters
More yawa dey but yawa never became us
In case you forgot, Debia obi bɛ kae wo
I heard of you, omo bɛ ka ama wo ti apae wo
There's more to life than bright lights and the rat race
Only an idiot cuts his nose off just to spite his face
[Hook: M.anifest]
Dem never feel my pain
All dey see be my reign
So they use my name in vain
My enemies dey watch
Hoping I'm victim to fame
But dey go craze go insane
Dem never feel my pain
All dey see be my reign
So they use my name in vain
My enemies dey watch
Hoping I'm victim to fame
But dey go craze go insane
