M.anifest - Damn You Rafiki
Monkey dey work, baboon dey chop
You no dey see so
The you and I verse,
Smiles so you and I first.
I started my verse with word play, it works
Your honour, my submission
I no go rap for no purpose
My only competition,
Me versus my old verses
If wishes were horses and unicorns were porches,
Then I dey go the stable and dealerships no be [?]
Ewiase ayɛ hu, Lowlifes in their high horses
Manner, Influence, well what is it he endorses
If somewhere in Ghana, according to the sources,
Somewhere in America, some folks are burning [?]
No grind, no shine, no blind, no bliss,
If a lion is a cat, does that make him a pussy?
I've been telling theses cats,
No joke, don't push me
I'm attracted to women that are beautiful and discreet
I bush canteen chewing on bush meat
Wondering one day, will Osama and George Bush meet?
My manager is stressing me about features
Chasing features can feel so needless
But we dey need them and others need we
But I go [?] solo, if the needs be
I way up
It's a blessing,
Every tom, dick and Zane don't need to move in one direction
So what if most of my songs don't belong in the club
We talking upper echelon?
I belong in that club.
When u, walking with giants,
You should be defiant
Showing you the signs, the principles, self-reliance
Both form some ties, and form the new alliance
I don't suit and tie,
Tie and dye with the minds
Will never let, nobody sit on my happiness
The industry dey bore me
I guess it's just a happy mess
Put that on my nappiness
This is sound of blackness
Back to future,
Who dare re-enact us
The throne is vacant for the taking
I no dey visibly shaken
They slept, but now awaking
Shaking and baking, hotline blinking
I'm draking
The grass is always greener,
Unless the cattle's grazing
Rats, still racing
And chasing the paper bacon
No pork on my fork
But red striping, like I'm Jamaican
Knife in the cork, but won't wind around your ratings
Yes!! This native winter of the reservation
Prima verse, Tiama the verse
I don't flock together with others, I'm not a bird
Fuck feathers, see my wings
Eager and ready to spread
I twetwe on these niggas, One word
I no dey talk,
Proudest one penning these lines
You know!!
Quiet people got the loudest minds
Charley!!
You married to the game, she's my concubine
King Solomon of rhyme
Will waste a mime, conquering time
My time has come
Dum-dumbs bumping their gums
If M.anifest ain't number one,
He's second to none
Marcuz for your Pacquiao season
Copy cats and Suarez, they bite for no reason
My heart dey turn cold like a witches left titty
No gidigidi, Gh dey come
Let's giddie
Looking fly in chocolate clothes and custom dashiki
Monkey dey work baboon dey chop
Damn you Rafiki
I get live in Nairobi and Jozzi
Phonies ignore me
Now they thinking that we hommies
Chicks pay me attention like they owe me
My vim new dimensions as the old me
Don't rile me up
If you no be my size, then don't size me up
It's a rap, it's a duku, it's a sap, it's a mugu
And it's raining dogs and cats,
Feel so breezy in my fugu
Only two rappers in Africa
Me and no one in particular
And if you no dey bab,
Pardon ma vernacular
So spectacular
Monkey dey work, baboon dey chop
You no dey see so
Hunger dey, wey some people just dey feast so
Monkey dey work, baboon dey work
You no dey see so
Monkey see, Monkey do
I don't think so
