Intro / What's Up

(album: My Own Thing - 2003)

Ladies and gentlemen
Welcome
Manafest!
Manafest!
Manafest! Oh, yeah!
Manafest! Fist in the air when you hear the manifesto!
Manafest!
Put your first in the air when you hear the manifesto!

Yeah, this is Manafest
Yeah yeah, growing up still
New beginnings
Exposing light on it (Check it out)
What's up, dude
Ayy yo, I'm right here
Writing's on the wall, stuck it to your right ear
Communication like some walkie talkies
New category, don't know what to call me
Let me lick my lips a little bit and spit something different
The most intimate instrument, hit ad-lib and stay infinite
Chilling with a girl or rhyming with my guys
Skateboarding with the crew, hustling for Christ
Don't matter, I'm just me, there's only one copy
I'll be myself, you keep it gangster
Quick to destroy, deploy decoys, stop being paranoid
I'm all fad, like signing wack contracts
Rage setting, it's just another bomb track
What now? It's Christ through the sound
There's no fear here for 2000 and out
Believe that, 'cause some things have changed
If you got dreams, hold on to 'em
And if you got fears, just rip through 'em
Hold me down and still making your moves
Straight from the heart, y'all
We staying true
Yeah
