You know a lot of people complainin'
About, you know, rappin' ain't sellin'
That's cuz y'all are wack

So step your game up . . .

[CHORUS x2]

This one here is a PSA
To MCs worldwide and in the USA
Sharpen your swords

On your mark, get set, record

M.anifest

French Connect

[VERSE 1]


Stop with the bickering
Time for some listening

Let's keep it rollin'
Like them tires by Michelin
On some new shenanigans

I'm back in the lab again
Bout to get more green than a heineken
They panicking, pondering, wondering Why I'm traffickin'

Why you meddlin'
So cold, I'm dope flow peddlin'
Yeah he's a veteran

In the art of lyrical fencing
He's a better man
If you flow sick, I got the medicine

Rhyme overlord over board
When I jettison
Check for him

Lyrical weight champion
I got the title
Kinda like Obama

An African but soon to be American Idol
So old school like I'm vinyl
Taking you back like Doggystyle

All night long like Lionel
MVP of the Finals
Dwayne Wade, MJ, Dr. J back in the day

I spit so vividly
The illest delivery
Took a C-Section to deliver me

Now I'm a rhyme demon
Only Jesus can deliver me
Kinda like Braille

cause I know all you are feelin' me

[CHORUS]


[VERSE 2]
Ain't about a ring bling or things

Ain't about cars and clothes
Gettin' low to touch your toes
I could give a $#&@ about how many ^!$$%s you shot

But when you drop a 16 it
Better be mean and hot
Better rep your block

Be creative
Be innovative
Hungry and ready to rock the spot

Immaculate spoken by M.Dot
You can ask Mims
This is why, This is why I'm hot

So real keep your eyes peeled
Sharpen your skill
Remember that words can kill

At the same time
The same rhyme can get you a deal
And If a penny for my thoughts still applies

Give me a mil for thinkin' this fly
This goes out to the true MCs
That flow for the people not the industry

For those in the streets
That clap only if you ride a beat
If you write a beat
Rep for the true and the [funk]
This goes out to the true MCs

Not the one-hit wonders
But the true MCs
Not computer thugs on MySpace
But lyrical heavyweights with legitimate fan base


[CHORUS ]

Yeah
M.anifest M.anifest
Yo
