Fugees - Manifest Lyrics
[clef]I woke up this morningI was feeling kind of highIt was me, jesus christ and haile selassieSelassie said greetings in the name of the most high,Jah rhastafari,Christ, took a sip of the amaretto,Passed it down the table said today Ill be betrayed by one you 12DisciplesGive me a clue who could do this to you?The kid on the block who makes less money than you.Crooked cops pulled up, they offered him 30 pieces of silverAll he got to do is deliver the saviorRight on bergen st. from bad luck to good luckMy cup runneth over, pass it down, guzzle upThe time has arrived, the prophecy will manifestI saw death, I got scared, butterflies on my chestFather if possible, pass this cup before me,But its too late I chose my destiny in gethsemane.[lauryn]You see I loved hard once, but the love wasnt returnedI found out the man Id die for, he wasnt even concernedAnd time it turned,He tried to burn me like a permThough my eyes saw the deception, my heart wouldnt let me learnFrom um, some, dumb woman, was i,And everytime hed lie, he would cry and inside Id die.My heart must have died a thousand deathsCompared myself to toni braxton thought Id never catch my breathNothing left, he stole the heart beating from my chestI tried to call the cops, that type of thief you cant arrestPain suppressed, will lead to cardiac arrestDiamonds deserve diamonds, but he convinced me I was worth lessWhen my peoples would protest,I told them mind their business, cause my s*** was complexMore than just the sexI was blessed, but couldnt feel it like when I was caressedId spend nights clutching my breasts overwhelmed by gods testI was gods best contemplating death with a gilletteBut no man is ever worth the paradise manifest[praz]Gun-clap shell cap,Got them crawling on they backCome through with the fuThey be who the f**k is thatIts unpredictable, when my tongue performs like jujitsuCut you with my lyrics, stab you with my pencilLethal injection, witness protectionRefugee camps under investigationGunshot bursts in all directionsFor the wack mcs we read your revelationsDischarge through your poresGet raw and kill boorsI can capleton when Im on a tourSome manifest, with slugs in they chestGod bless all the cowboys in the wild wild west
