Manifesto, this is we want to see happen For my peoples breakin' graf writin' and rappin' I the mic right and exact, my life's my sacrifice Take my mic and I'm a Chinese man with no rice
Oh yeah, we through the pages of time to find design Like Vaseline on the of Black Georgia We deeper than petroleum jelly We in the air conversations on celly And just like stretch marks on bellies
After givin' you had to let go, you playin' for life The Manifesto, here the beat Because I said so pushin'
I got the for the seat of your soul in the day they stole our smile So we clothe our in gold
And we frontin', from to kid, to Son of God It's wild on labels for man, woman and child My style just is all that's seen and all that's God gave us so we play with our words
So when Tek be in constant like a monk Kweli speaks in tongues to get your intellect drunk Yo, we bound to take over the 90% of your that you ain't usin' To us life or death, we keep you chosin'
Every shook eye seen, every goodbye ain't gone Ain't no rest for the yo, forever it's on The Manifesto, a hip-hop order Movin' upon the face of the like reflections
Aiyo all the real can meet me outside So we can how we gonna change the tide Like the moon we on the earth takin' a around the sun Now son, we only just begun and the far from done
We all miss you, what your brain gone fishin' Walter Mosley? an MC that can hold me, supposedly? No one could come close to me, only the really know me Hip-hop's last hope Obi Wan Kenobi
Through your television I'm shinin' light a train out like earthworms when it rains Bringin' it like the C.I.A. be bringin' in Cocaine out of planes
With the George Bush connections, I reflection Like I'm sellin' izm a dealer buildin' the system Supply and the demand all capitalism
Niggaz don't sell crack 'cause they like to see smoke sell crack 'cause they broke My battle get conscious minds provoked And ghetto revoked
we surrounded by the evil You know that the minds is feeble believe in it Even if it don't make sense, this makin' shit,
take a scholar to see what's goin' on around you Either you widdit or you ain't is what it comes to you forgotten we pickin' 100% designer name brand Cotton They still plottin', my eye is steady watchin'
Every shook eye ain't seen, every ain't gone Ain't no rest for the weary yo forever on The Manifesto, establishes a order Movin' upon the face of the water like
Yeah, see what I'm talkin' about, it be the slaughter, man We need to break it down because heads They don't know what they talkin' all this nonsense, yo, break it down
From mics to solutions, I got a collage of answers And a ten program just like the Black Panthers One, first respect as an artist If you don't respect yourself then your rhymes is
Two, make your crew is as tight as you 'Cause when them niggaz fallin' off, they gonna you down too Three, the meanin' of MC The power to Move the crowd like Moses the seas
Four, know shit and don't ever be blunted If you don't what your words mean then your rhymes mean nothin' Five, facts in the raps and curse with clarity a curse when language is immersed in vulgarity
Six, we gonna fix industrial Shit, they made an art out of ridin' dicks Seven, we soldiers for God new recruits So if you rhymin' for the loot then a prostitute
But eight, acknowledge you need food on your plate In order to say your grace sure your business is straight Nine, we buildin' minds with intelligence And when you freestyle, keep the matter relevant
Ten, MC grab a pen And write some conscious lyrics to tell the I'll say it again, MC find you a pen And drop conscious shit for our children
