A-Reece, M.anifest “WEST AFRICA TIME” Lyrics
Woke up in the plane, we just landed somewhere above the equatorI’m smokin’ Triple-A, ballin’Hittin’ triple-doubles every gameBearin’ the fruits of my labourI gotta say, it got me feelin’ like CarlitoI could spit an apple in your faceNumbers doin’ far better than they projectedLabels use my work as point of reference when I drop a recordKeepin’ up with me just got ’em lookin’ desperateKeep my emotions and the business separateWhen it’s time for dealin’ with the unexpectedNo need to be duckin’ the pressureNo I am not that nigga Rivera, but I’m with it whenever, whereverTook a lot of effort to hold it togetherI know they wanted it severedBroken in pieces gone with the wind, and forgotten foreverBut don’t forget I just made you rememberHere to continue the legacy of the dream like CorettaMembers only in the mecca of winnersOnly nigga realer than me is the one in the mirrorIt should be obvious, we not some beginnersI think it’s obvious I’m up against quitters, liars, pretendersIt’s gettin’ old, I’m growin tired of you niggasI bet somebody hired you niggasStartin to feel like it’s a curse that I inspired you niggasI know this lifestyle inspired your writtensYou ain’t a tough guy, retire that imageReally a master at this shit, just admit itReally a hazard goin’ ape like GibbonsReally had it, lost it all then got it back like I didn’t, yeahFocus on the love and abandon the hateDiamonds in my ears dancin’, lookin’ like Kida The GreatOne of the best to ever do it, it’s not a debateNever thought I’d live to see the people admire the fake (never, yeah)Niggas goin’ live, start doin’ the mostEnd up playing possum real life when us niggas approach (for real, yeah)Shit is deep, you either sink or float (for real)And if you didn’t know then now you know
Chale, we moveI’m a solid dude that’s been in solitude for many centuriesThey don’t know where I’m at, but they mention meTension me, neverI’m quite clever with these villainous quotesThe Kobe approach, I ate them with that 2-4 jersey, the boy too certi’I choose violence, I’m CerseiMy skin tone StormzyBut the train of thought is not merky, you heard me?I kiss my teeth and speak my pieceToo many Visas in this passport for me to be on a leashI never came to appease my niggaI’m on a beach, at peaceIn Seychelles where the sea shells whiter than teeth, capeesh?The fashion and passionWords are inadequate, that’s why I’m postin’ picturesNo caption and watchin’ animeVenture capitalist rappin’ shitR&b greasy, Chris Breezy couldn’t catch my driftArticulate, immaculateGo against the God that is sacrilegeGet you a coke and a smile and paint with acrylic, uhIndulgin’ in Holy waterBeen stamped across many bordersThe king’s daughters record usThe peasants are givin’ ordersTopsy-turvy the world isWe pleasant in many quartersBut if you ever do cross us you’d wish our parents abortedAnd I keep rising on the Dow JonesWall Street or Sweden these mans they know my stock holmesAnd back home, I’m known as the God MC, the standard for longevityMy clarity is legendary, my specialty is weaponryNotable for quotablesI used to raise these boys to men, jagaban, badder thanA-reece my next of kinI stood next to kings, the God nowSo when you skeptical and in doubt, praise the Lord now, ASAP
Jozi lights, Accra nights, keep shining brightAbi you knowBless up
