Artist: M.anifest Album: Manifestations Song: Manifestations Typed by: 612to651@gmail.com Preach [CHORUS] Wishin' Upon a star Hopin' heavens reveal who we truly are In those moments when happiness seems far We so scarred We hold God deep inside Please God [VERSE 1] I said home is where the hate is I feel like Miles Davis Kinda blue Stirrin' trouble in My bitches brew, it's true Niggas that don't know you choose to judge you Gon take more than feet to walk in my shoes Nowadays dudes got beef than meat at the barbecue it bothers you like it does me Knowledge is key Unlock passages Civilizing savages Throwin' your mind overboard like Slaves in middle passages Who we are is not a mystery, god Kings and queens and artists Check your history, god Matter of fact The pages are intact Through the hieroglyphs See myself in a different light When I write, suddenly Revelations came in Deuteronomy An exodus before the genesis came upon me Now my oratory speaks these ghetto horror stories Deep inside . . . [CHORUS] [VERSE 2] Yeah Check it I let my mind travel On occasion my body tags along Hopin' to unravel the mysteries of Babylon You never know a good thing til it's gone Once it's gone it's hard to admit that you was wrong Then the tip of your pen, Freudian slips as you begin Another song, Philly cats call that a jawn Freddie Hubbard on the horn These new jacks can't see me like a mustache on a newborn Black son searchin' for the one, the Black Neo Seeing visions for real while yall watch Cleo A Griot who speaks Creole Pidgin to be exact Creature of habitat like these corporate cats They might dress pretty Attitudes are pretty ugly Inside thet tainted, stained with hipocrisy It's a slave economy The poor righteous teachers tried to reach us Rock dis Funky Joint in your speakers I'm not a fan so I don't hang in the bleachers Good Jesus They wanna do me in like Brutus did Caesar Whether Emmanuel or Ebenezer Allah or Rastafari, the good Lord He's my keeper So if Jesus walks with Kanye I'm sure he'll listen to this Oblige me like Mary J. to Transcribe these scripts to the lost tribes Yes I, Jah Bless I No man can test I Or mind trick I Like Jedi, I'm up early like redeye Learnin' more about myself every time I write I Wanda like Sykes Will there be a time When they recite my lines Like Dave Chappelle sound bites I stay weary of O'Reilly Hope you do too Me, I'm doing cool Like Sway and Baby Blue in the UK I want the booty (bootay) To realize my dreams today Money's the root of evil, Touchˇ Aside from Groupies and Stunna Shades There's more to this creative art form Word is bond Yeah, ya dig? CHORUS
