Manifest - Gang Starr

They will take you, sedate you, and I will stress

Upon you the need for, you are to feed your

Minds and souls, so you can lead yourselves to peace

I got a real objective here

I am effective here 'cause I select a clear

Method for all, suckers I maul, they fall and scrawl

Into the pit of purgatory

I go for glory, I’m takin' inventory

Countin' all the tough luck ducks while I narrate

Relate and equate, dictate and debate

'Cause my fate is to be cold makin' history

I use sincerity, but still I bury the

Doubts and questions of all the skeptics

I’m kickin' clout and I’ll even bet this is true

There’s nothing so-so 'cause I know

Right about this minute, I’m in it, admit it I did it to you

'Cause this is what I’m into

So, chill while I instill that we all must fulfill

The proper mission for us and yo, this is a must

To these lines of my rhymes I attest

These are the words that I manifest, I manifest

I suggest you take a breath, for the words I manifest

They will scold you and mold you, while I impress

Upon you the fact that, I use my tact at

Rhymin', cold climbin', and chill while I attract that

Girl you’re with, I got a sincere quality

I give her all of me 'cause you’re too small to be

Tryin' to riff, so let me uplift and shift my gift

Let’s go to the fullest capacity

I got tenacity because I have to be

The brother who must live and give with much insight

Foresight to ignite, excite and delight

And you might gain from it or feel pain from it

Because I’m ultimate, and I’m about to let off

Knowledge, wisdom, understanding

Truth with couth, so won’t you throw a hand

In the air, put up a peace sign and please find

That though we’re feelin' good, we should, we could, we would

Stop!

Think for a moment, okay?

And then sway while I convey that we must do away

With all the stress and the strife, God bless your life

Use kindness and never blindness

And you will find this perspective is best, check it out

These are the words that I manifest, I manifest

I convey that what I say will awaken you today

I be jockin' while I’m talkin', but any way

That you put it, I’ll give you lyrics to live to

Righteousness rules, so I forgive you

This time for you are bein' very ignorant

That’s insignificant, I guess you figured and

Hoped to be dope as me, I glee, you flee

Because the pressure’s too much for you

I’m your professor, I got the touch to

Do more than the rest who fess and can’t compete

I’m elite, I’ll defeat, delete and mistreat

Make mincemeat of other fools 'cause I’m the brother who’ll

Snatch up the funds and make lonely ones

I meant it really 'cause I’m clearly obsessed and uh.

These are the words that I manifest, I manifest
