[Intro]
WAH! Fliptrix
Mantra (ay) what
What's the cost?
[Verse 1]
What's the cost?
Wanna be shining like I'm diamonds or on gloss
What's the goss'? on the blocks wanna know who has got the crop
Manna manoeuvre to the top I'm on a lot that's why I'm on the top
Ever since a younger had the hunger so I never stop
Clever clogs always put the pressure on
Elevate the echelons holding on for dear life I pass it down don't sell it on
Manna stacking hella bonds fam I'm taking risks prepare to learn if I do get it wrong
Everybody's different but really we could all get along if wะต do put the egos down the dะตvil's in the pentagon
Rewash your brain should have stood up turned that telly off I'm setting off on a holy mission till I'm deaded off
Man'll look back on my legacy then collect the lot 'cause they know with every letter my message it spell a lot
It's very hot; like the fire in my belly, getting shelly so you know that any second I will let it off
[Chorus]
Dry your eyes while you're falling like tears I'm in fourth going upto fifth swerving no fear
Old dears saying "Oh dear" I'm like "I'm on the road here. I will compose gold here" the smoke cleared it was so clear
While you're falling like tears I'm in fourth going upto fifth swerving no fear
Old dears saying "Oh dear" I'm like "I'm on the road here. I will compose gold here" the smoke cleared it was so clear
[Verse 2]
Emotion flowing out of my vocals to your ear
Not a local with a beer. I'm composing my career
Back to roll deep when I'm here that's the era of my peers
When I roll into the club everybody be like "cheers!" cause I got that big grin across my face like "yeah!"
If ferocious with attention not to solve it through dimensions decomposing like flesh before my ghost gets to heaven bro
Holes in my melon gonna fall like eleven till you see that symbology
Like white stags killed on the streets by the police
It's British peeps who will bleed next like sheep at the slaughter house; knife in the neck who the hell is gonna sort it out?
I guess a cut gullet something real to talk about soul's gone walk about whole heap of torture now
See, it's deep how these demons just creep without ethics it's all been beta tested to I just beat my chest weird
Might force 'cause I'm getting restless but not enough to get arrested yeah they ruffling my feathers, mother****ers yeah I'm restless
Better trust that I'm invested like when mushrooms been ingested golden teachers got me frozen in the moment while I'm posing everything I'm representing in a verse, in a sentence, in a word that's love followed by trust, honour and community every single day manna go to feel the unity
[Chorus]
Dry your eyes while you're falling like tears I'm in fourth going upto fifth swerving no fear
Old dears saying "Oh dear" I'm like "I'm on the road here. I will compose gold here" the smoke cleared it was so clear
While you're falling like tears I'm in fourth going upto fifth swerving no fear
Old dears saying "Oh dear" I'm like "I'm on the road here. I will compose gold here" the smoke cleared it was so clear
[Outro]
Ha- WAH- clear, clear
Smoke cleared and it was so clear, ha
So clear ha
Wah
Mantra number nine, mantra number nine
No fear
Jheez jheez
I roam the world here, ha
Nine, nine- ha
Ey
