Manifest Lyrics

    [CLEF:]
    I woke up this morning
    I was feeling kind of high
    It was me, Jesus Christ and Haile Selassie
    Selassie said greetings in the name of the most high,
    Jah Rhastafari,
    Christ, took a sip of the Amaretto,
    Passed it down the table said today I'll be betrayed by one you 12 disciples
    Give me a clue who could do this to you?
    The kid on the block who makes less money than you.
    Crooked cops pulled up, they offered him 20 pieces of silver
    All he got to do is deliver the savior
    Right on Bergen St. from bad luck to good luck
    My cup runneth over, pass it down, guzzle up
    The time has arrived, the prophecy will manifest
    I saw death, I got scared, butterflies on my chest
    Father if possible, pass this cup before me,
    But it's too late I chose my destiny in Gethsemane.

    [LAURYN:]
    You see I loved hard once, but the love wasn't returned
    I found out the man I'd die for, he wasn't even concerned
    And time it turned,
    He tried to burn me like a perm
    Though my eyes saw the deception, My heart wouldn't let me learn
    From um, some, dumb woman, was I,
    And everytime he'd lie, he would cry and inside I'd die.
    My heart must have died a thousand deaths
    Compared myself to Toni Braxton thought I'd never catch my breath
    Nothing left, he stole the heart beating from my chest
    I tried to call the cops, that type of thief you can't arrest
    Pain suppressed, will lead to cardiac arrest
    Diamonds deserve diamonds, but he convinced me I was worth less
    when my peoples would protest,
    I told them mind their business, cause my s*** was complex
    More than just the sex
    I was blessed, but couldn't feel it like when I was caressed
    I'd spend nights clutching my breasts overwhelmed by God's test
    I was God's best contemplating death with a Gillette
    But no man is ever worth the paradise MANIFEST

    [PRAZ:]
    Gun-clap Shell cap,
    Got them crawling on they back
    Come through with the Fu
    They be who the F**k is that
    It's unpredictable, when my tongue performs like Jujitsu
    Cut you with my lyrics, stab you with my pencil
    Lethal injection, witness protection
    Refugee camp's under investigation
    Gunshot bursts in all directions
    For the wack MC's we read your revelations
    Discharge through your pores
    Get raw and kill Boors
    I can Capleton when I'm on a Tour
    Some manifest, with slugs in they chest
    God bless all the Cowboys in the Wild Wild West
