Альбом Manafest

I never talk the talk unless I walk the walk in the dark what you want come get it
I see you fake and flaunt, the way you pose and stomp, I got soul and I know where you're headed
So if you want what I got come get it
And if not than go and just forget it
Cause in the light I can see you faking, over rated


Let's face it close the case gangsta's
Bass to your face, with faith based answers
I got anthems, ain't talking hansom
Bloods on your hands you wash and just abandon
I wanna talk to ye, put God in ye
In a non threatened way, it's calling ye
Start walking yo, what's stalling ye
You've fallen “Get UP”


So I'll
Be the first to, introduce you
To the one that's trapped inside you
Don't turn away
Away from yourself
Every time you, buy into
All the lies of the life they're feeding you
Don't play their game, it's not the way, don't turn away from yourself


I'm not the type to write just to go fight yall
I'm holding mic's to light the fire up in us
Taking flight to heights it's so ridiculous
I see lies coming out your mouths & such
Yall selling it yall don't believe in it
Yall keep yelling it, we start repeating it
Brainwashing us you fake and pose cool
I see right through you, right through


So I'll
Be the first to, introduce you
To the one that's trapped inside you
Don't turn away
Away from yourself
Every time you, buy into
All the lies of the life they're feeding you
Don't play their game, it's not the way, don't turn away from yourself


Don't' turn away,
You got to listen
Don't play the game
It's all in act and
It's not the Way
Come on be real
Following ye heart is the only way you'll get it


They try to take me yawning, I hear that alarm and
Got to get ahead of the game they keep calling in
I hear them following, yo they just bothering,
Me from walking in my dreams all hollering
I make a choice and I live it, I give it
All to the cause even if we all fall
I scene what's really real
They lie, cheat, and steal
I speak life watch my city heal

Mr. Manafest,
What, what, what, what, Mr. Manafest, what, what, what

Mr. Manafest what you got to say
You got a song that's controversial, eh
You're Canadian, white Caucasian and still skateboarding
And tour live recording it
Were not here trying to bring you down
Were just trying figure you out

Well I was only 18 when I bust up my leg
When I slipped off a ledge, and fell on my head
I got stuck in a bed with a pad and a pen
I had a voice in my head and this is what it said
Right now, write down, write your feelings out
Rhyme out a song loud, put my words in style
Find out why my people are crying out
Reach out with hip hop skate board is your crowd
Now is the time, now is the sign
Now say a line that'll prick the minds
It's over now, your older now
I'll flow right through ye let's show them how, and

Bounce if you wanna, just Bounce and Bounce
And Move if you wanna, just move, and move
So all the B-boy's B-girls hit the floor
Here we go now, let's go let's go
Bounce if you wanna, just Bounce and Bounce
And Move if you wanna, just move, and move
Come on B-boy's B-girls hit the floor
Here we go now, let's go let's go

They said it couldn't be done
I said we haven't tried
A white skateboarder kid blew up there minds
Take the music out the box like God with us
Stomp like Jericho walls and stretch your lungs
I'd want to know if I was walking down the wrong road
Why didn't someone tell me I had my eyes closed
I watch what I eat, since super size me
Since the internet my space be the in thing
I talk in my sleep, like I'm walking a dream
I cling to the cross who's the lord and the king
You think I'm crazy, they think I'm crazy
I've test drived it baby, it rides amazing
Still skating, for real not the same guy
Slide to the front of the stage hands high

Bounce if you want to, just Bounce and Bounce
Move if you want to, just move, and move
Now all my B-boy's B-girls hit the floor
Here we go now, let's go let's go
Bounce if you wanna, just Bounce and Bounce
And Move if you wanna, just move, and move
So all the B-boy's B-girls hit the floor
Here we go now, let's go let's go
Bridge:
Everyone gather round
I think we should announce
That it is time to bounce

While your moving that left & your right foot
It's better now that you're hooked with the right book
I mean you can do anything, anything
They told me not to rap or sing a thing
I failed music they said don't do it
I put down acoustics & started a movement
I rhyme like an air flare, up in your face
Hold an air chair “pose”, flow at my pace
If I can do it, you can do it if you can do it they can do it
If we can do it, what we doing, let's start moving

It's funny I never thought that I'd be homeless
I used to walk by them, now I'm living on the corners
Stretching for a touch of a hand, a dollar bill or a chance
Give me your sandwich bag, man I'll do anything
With thoughts of desperation my hearts racing
I'm not star gazing I could die of starvation
Hallucinated from the day's wasted
Lost track of time while my mind aging
People looking at me like a lost patient
Like I'm already dead why they all hating
Did I choose this life, or life choose me
I ran away at sweet 16 mommy do you miss me, this is Krissy


So I run, and I run, and I ran and I ran praying maybe some day we meet again
Cause It hurts when you hurt, and I hurt and I feel, like I'm healed can we all just make a mends
I run and I run and I run, and I run


Good bye to the world, good bye to my girl
Say hello to my home the street corner
Its absurd every word that was spoken
It must come alive cause my life is still broken
Wondering did I miss it, what mistake did I make? Can I fix it?
These streets of gone ballistic
This isn't what I thought it would be, where's daddy
Is he still mad at me, I wonder would he have me
Back in the home, back in the zone, back where I can't eat
Where's there's heat and use a phone
Cause it hurts and I know I never said good bye
I ran away I thought like anything I could fly


Mom and dad are you there, are you listening
I want to come home, but scared of the mess I'm in
Please forgive me of the things I committed
Against you against me, our family tree
And I know we haven't spoke in so long, I was so wrong
To think I could live on, on my own accord
I'm a take the train home, but I need to know
If you'll welcome me back through your life's door?
Show me a sign with a red ribbon, hang one on the side of the train building
And if I see it than I'll know that your still willing,
And if not I won't ever call or visit
I'll pretend that I'm re-living the beginning,
Like when we used talk in the kitchen, without all the fights & friction
This is me wishing, one of your ex children
Picturing praying that you got the same feelings,
I'm running

Crying and hiding this feeling
Running and fighting for freedom

This is the last time, I'll cry lullabies
All night can't sleep I hear the floors creek
I feel shadows in my room
My friends find another bruise
I'm a end up on the news
I just don't know what to do
God I'm calling you
Send an angel send two
I want a move but I'm trapped in the outer room
I know you hear me clearly I'm weary
Come and fill me with your power heal me

It seems impossible for me to let this go
Feel like an animal, I'm ready to lose control
Take everything you need, take every part of me
Take every part of me give me some room to breathe
Chorus:
I got to get away
Got a break away
Save Me
Got to find away
Got to break the chains
Take me
Before I lose Control
Before I lose Control
It seems impossible
It's not impossible

I'm tired so tired of walking through this fire
If you want to find me I'll be here in my room
I'm thinking your drinking,
Need to get out before you start swinging
Wish I could show you all the pain inside me

It seems impossible
Crying and hiding this feeling
Running and hiding from freedom
For me to loose control
Crying and hiding this feeling
Running and hiding from freedom

I'm so tired a walking this line through the fire
If you want to find me I'm in my room retired
Hiding this feeling I'm thinking your drinking
Sinking deep ducking under your swinging, out a commission
Living cold day's hallways filled with the mistakes
Wish I could show you all the pain inside it's caused me
It used to be a house, a home now it's neither yo
So I'm leaving with the cross strapped to my soul

Dreams are still alive
They don't ever die
Close your eyes and imagine it right now
We got to keep dreaming we giving life meaning
Staying clear of the lies

I wasn't suppose to be here, compose and flow here
Perform for your ears saying ah yeah's
My dream was to skate, Cali calling my name
Who'd a thought my foot would break, me limping in pain?
I ate my own pride, when I started to rhyme
Mamma told me ye got to grow up can't skate all your life
Picture me history is shaping me sifting me,
Changing me to a man, Xing out all my plans
Not what I wanted my dreams was so different
I deal with what I'm giving not trying to be him or him

Dreams are still alive
They don't ever die
Close your eyes and imagine it right now
We got to keep dreaming we giving life meaning
Staying clear of the lies

I used to fantasize a lot about what I don't got
Chick on my arm even a necklace with a cross
I didn't have money, No dad and only mommy
To raise two kids, even my toes looked funny
I thought I missed out when really I'm on clouds
I did my work while all my friends went out
I didn't party much I think I touched drugs once
My buddies all laughing at me about that Christ Jesus stuff
Now if you seen us how the cards of switched hands
They sleep at their parents while I'm living in first class
Every night I'd always pray to God for tomorrow
Who'd thought I'd be married lying next to a model
Crazy how I elevated everyday celebrating
Dreams do come true exercise patience

Life is kind a bitter ain't it, it's full a pain and changes
Parking tickets that tick us off and leave you tainted
Heart pumping, your thinking of jumping
Devils hunting don't do it cousin
You don't know what is forth coming
Brighter days a higher raise
Light the fire play the game
Regroup or hide ye face
That's why I'm authentic that's why ye need effort
Credit is deserved, I re-worked my world
If everything worked out the way I first wanted
I'd a married the wrong chick and I'd been stuck think
Life's embarrassed ye, laughed and stared at ye
In the end it only builds up your character

You know what I'm saying man, everybody's got an opinion in this industry
You got to just do what you know, don't let know one tell you nothing, hold on to your dreams and feel it go for it

It's been awhile now I've been searching thinking about
Sin and drought, up and down spinning round, round, round
Round, Round I haven't found it, truths alive don't doubt it
Pounding down the doors & hallowing ow, ow, ow
Slouched like a youth I found God in the room
He said yo I know you, I got a girl for ye dude
Am I high, am I dead, am I alive, is this real
Can I touch can I feel, pinch me, oww yeah,
Sat me down daps & pounds, showed me style
Told me how, hold a second that's my girl
I think I've figured out that a

I'm down with ye, down with ye
I'll hit the town with ye
Can I get some love yo hommie show me love

I'm down with ye, down with ye
I'll stick around with ye
Can I get some love yo hommie show me love

I, I, I want to show ye
I think I'm ready for ye
Just let the party music play
I'm down with ye down with ye
I got that sound for ye
Just let the music play

I see it clear now her and I Cali style
She is fine, she is mine, likes it when I drop a rhyme
Chilling by the beach home
Surfing or on skateboards
Doesn't hurt that she's model
Run way girl, Makes me holla
We'll grow our family tree
Little Mana's Melanie's
Living free sipping drinks
Coke and Ice bubble tea's
God is watching over this
Blessings is so obvious
Call it bliss, call it crisp
This is how I want to live
Its retro automatic, the love is so dynamic
I'm dancing like an addict

I'm down with ye, down with ye
I'll hit the town with ye
Can I get some love yo hommie show me love

I'm down with ye, down with ye
I'll stick around with ye
Can I get some love yo hommie show me love

I, I, I want to show ye
I think I'm ready for ye
Just let the party music play
I'm down with ye down with ye
I got that sound for ye
Just let the music play

But if you don't think your down with me,
That's cool cause we can still be friends at least
And a, we could just play Monopoly you'll see
You'll get to know me uh huh, you'll get to know me, know me
But I, I think you really might be right
I think you might just be the guy for me, and you and maybe you'll give me a ride, home

This is my song, glad you all came along, sing it now
Sing it loud

This one's for all the people who talk
Shoot you down before you reach the top
Cause they just don't know much about me
You know the types that say this and that
Jealous types trying to hold you back
Soon it will be as clear as can be
For those who feel that they need to speak
My life is more than stories on beats
You'd know that if you new about me

Can I just rock a rhyme one time?
Elevate minds enjoy the vibe
Like 93 till infinity I'm alive
I light the vicinity spit the rhyme
But I still receive cut eye, when I, bust rhyme
Must be the light or the shine from the white
It can't be the skill or the beat or the mic
Could it be jealousy that you're not quite like, me
I'm not like you your attitude is at the altitude
Like dude I want to battle you
I'm not budging only God's judging
You can take the glory, I'm not fake fronting
Nothings stopping me, God's still calling me
Your own insecurities is killing ye softly
The rap artist, dissed than disregarded
Stick around yo I'm just getting started

This one's for all the people who talk
Shoot you down before you reach the top
Cause they just don't know much about me
You know the types that say this and that
Jealous types trying to hold you back
Soon it will be as clear as can be
For those who feel that they need to speak
My life is more than stories on beats
You'd know that if you new about me

All of a sudden I'm becoming the talk of the town
Cause my lyrics seem to be getting more positive now
It's true I'm the same dude they talking about
Cause I don't hand out tracks when I'm walking around
But I know "what you know"
Only God can judge me, so if it's only God that loves me
I'm OK, I can say that, I'm a man of God so when I make raps
I'm like eight tracks, I don't play they can talk the talk
I walk the walk, while they at mardi Grais and in the dark there lost
I don't stop to watch I walk with God like ladi dah
They still watching, they probably are

You can't catch me or form a weapon against me
The best kept secret has sworn to protect me
If you got a problem I suggest you arrest me
I'm not guilty, dirty, but not filthy
Like the Kennedy's you wanna put an end to me
Bullet in my melodies but ye never met me
I love my enemies not just cause it says so
I got joy un-control over flowing yo
Don't hate it you'll keep us separated
Where's the love man yo it's so underated?

[Нет текста]

You won't call, won't talk
What's wrong with ye
We used talk, go for walks
Now I don't see ye
It's not the same, like the days
When we used to meet up
You've changed in a way
Like you got secrets
You won't pick up, your mom says ye distant
And I can't figure this out without your help
I want to know ye, or wanna not know ye
I try to get close ye keep pushing me over

Why won't you talk to me?
I'd tell you anything
Oh don't push me away
I want to know you
I want to know you
I'm through with questioning
I thought you felt the same
No don't push me away
I want to know your thoughts
I want to know your mind
I want to know you I want know you
Let me out this place
Let me into your space place, I want to know you, I want to know you

It's been two weeks 3 days, I'm not sleeping
I had a dream you were flying this plane leaving
I got a feeling it was real and I wasn't dreaming
Is it me or not seeing you, has got me freaking?
My self esteem fleeing, a piece of me missing
My friends say I should bail while I'm still breathing
You got to call me, let me know what you're thinking
I'm free falling, cold, all alone sinking

Sorry this is not in person, but this is not working
I wrote this, hope you get it cause it's not worth it
Loved people love people
Hurt people hurt people,
You hurt me and it cut lethal
I tried so hard, I was so young
I flied so far thinking it was real love
Now I'm gone so long girl I've moved on
I thank God cause he put me with a real one

I got one chick, no kids no drama
I soak in, music sing soap operas
I got four wheels one board globe trotter
I got money got God I still got problems
It don't matter though I'm zoned in my own flow
So when I get told off my emotions hold
I don't punch a whole through the bathroom door
I count to four 1,2,3,4!!!
Cause If I don't calm down, stress is gonna compound
Cops are gonna come down, cuff me up g style
Buck wild like hulk I'll turn green,
Pray for me "AH" there's animal inside of me
I drop a rhyme, hard flip hit a grind
Turn 360 degrees adrenalin ride
Let these hammers fall flat, conscience intact
Cause all around the world we gonna feel the impact

New York dropping hammers like what
California dropping hammers like what
Manafest Dropping hammers on anybody crazy enough to get down
America dropping hammers like what
Worldwide dropping hammers like what
Manafest Dropping hammers on anybody crazy enough to get down

I can't tell you that I've never been ticked off
Picked on, spit upon felt ripped off
I've had my mom rip me a new one
For a quick tongue, run, kid, run, run, run
Sun don't shine in my life all the time
Some fly, some die, some survive the ride
Christ got my back when I fall face flat
When the fault line cracks I bounce right back
I used to freak out scream loud I need help
Beat down the ground till my fists were ow
Now I got bolder got wisdom got style
I used to miss out now I'm Mr. Wow
Blow to your radio Blow to your video
Dropping these hammers like what
I said Blow to your radio to Blow to your Video
Dropping these hammers right now on your stereo

We dropping hammers, like it don't matter
Setting the standard
We dropping hammers, like it don't matter
Raising the banner

Ye can't pigeon hole me, hommie,
Sorry can't do what you told me, I'm only
Doing what I feel, what's right? What's wrong?
When I'm dropping it hard somewhere I belong, I hear God
Talking to me, while I'm falling asleep, I got cuts in my knees
After hitting the streets trying to figure out the following
Why me, why not, Thank God, this is life drop it like it's

Sometimes I don't even wanna leave my house
These fake fears wrestle me to the flipping ground
I'm not scared of dying maybe scared of failing
So I stop trying evil thoughts start prevailing
There's a devil out there seeking to take me out
I see him in my nightmares when I scream and shout
Even though it's a dream it sure feels real
I know I got an angel watching in the rear near
In the midst of triumph seems there's a tragedy
I know I've won even though they want to battle me
Adamantly down on my knees pray fervently
White hot never stop till I'm in the heavenly'


So beautiful so powerful, so wonderful
Undeniable you you you are, you you, you are, you are you are
So beautiful so powerful, omnipotent
Undeniable you you you are, you you, you are, you are you are


There's something different, magnificent
About these Christians who talk and live in this
Lifestyle of putting pride down, it hasn't died out,
It's widely spread out and I
Can't deny its power, people getting healed every hour
How do we explain this, cure for aids and patients?
They said he wouldn't walk now he's racing, tell me what's changing
I'm pointing fingers at the sky,
Cause some things I can't deny no matter if I try
I'm a walk in faith
Cause I can see you even if it's not your face
You Are


So beautiful so powerful, so wonderful
Undeniable you you you are, you you, you are, you are you are
So beautiful so powerful, omnipotent
Undeniable you you you are, you you are, you are you are


Glory and honor the father we'll give him
The glory and honor the father rejoice in him


I've read a lot of books, turned all sorts of pages
But only one where the letters all illuminated
It's like it's jumping out at me speaking right to me
You see right through me there's no fooling
I can't hide from you why do I hide under?
Lies come I stutter cry out I love ye
The greatest gift so many are oblivious
You sent your kid to die only so that I could live
They bringing me down you lifting me up
I'm living your word hearing your sound, feeling a rush
Just the way I am, come as you are
Don't change a thing, use a superstar
