[Intro: M.anifest]

Uh Huh, Coptic

Connect the dots (M dɔ dɔ dɔ ti dɔ)

M diggy di

Yeah, I stood tall they thought I'd slip and fall

I have a very firm grip so jokes on y'all

The game is all mirrors, smokes and all

Vain; is what fame and mirrors are for

The more the merrier of course I rep my area

You no dey like? cool hop off my genitalia

I'm telling ya, you can can't tell me jack, son Mahalia

I no dey fear death, I'm afraid of failure


[Hook: M.anifest]

Keep shining till eternity

Keep shining, shine as bright as can be

Keep shining mek the whole world see

No other place dey for you and me


[Verse 1: M.anifest]

No dey hia me to impress or beat on my chest

Only two rappers in Ghana, M.anifest and the rest

While they happy playing checkers I was mastering chess

All these clowns in the town are they mastering jest

Just touring and soaring, that's on my agenda

These guys not my size, chale, there is no contender

I was fresh back in may I'll be fresher in December

Been the man for so long have you questioning your gender

Now you feel inadequate, no I don't exaggerate

All you cats claiming to be king, you are rather late

Silly songs you used to make, just to make dem percolate

Me I always knew azonto had an expiration date

Was and still am the MC you impersonate

Let that sink in better yet let it resonate

Book of vim, show you how to win this is lesson eight

They claim they're great, bring the résumé let's investigate


[Hook: M.anifest]

Keep shining till eternity

Keep shining, shine as bright as can be

Keep shining mek the whole world see

No other place dey for you and me

Keep shining till eternity

Keep shining, shine as bright as can be

Keep shining mek the whole world see

No other place dey for you and me


[Verse 2: M.anifest]

Dem dey see me peace-like, like I be Kwame Despite

Ntɔkwa dey excite, dem want see Kwame fight

But I'm sure you guessed right, seen me in my best light

Hwee ɛnfa me ho, Amet the I know dey vex type

Massa u putting GH on the map?

How? when you create Gh crap

B.E.T gives awards to Africans off air

Not a diss, just a stone cold fact I swear

No be say I no dey care, numb is what I've become

In an industry that's just one big slum

I no be deep saf, just these bums are dumb

Musical infants still sucking their thumbs

Let's not pretend that I'm not ill with the pen

All my lines get power never needed a gen

Another nigga with an attitude I'm MC Ren

Much bigger than your gratitude so save it friend


[Outro: M.anifest]

Alright, y'all fit to fight for artist of the year

I had a year that surpasses your whole career

No dey hia me to impress or beat on my chest

Only two rappers in ghana M.anifest and the rest
