| The lyric of Manifest, Fugees's song [CLEF:] I woke up this morning I was feeling kind of high It was meJesus Christ and Haile Selassie Selassie said greetings in the name of the most high Jah Rhastafari Christtook a sip of the Amaretto Passed it down the table said today I ll be betrayed by one you 12 disciples Give me a clue who could do this to you? The kid on the block who makes less money than you. Crooked cops pulled upthey offered him 20 pieces of silver All he got to do is deliver the savior Right on Bergen St. from bad luck to good luck My cup runneth overpass it downguzzle up The time has arrivedthe prophecy will manifest I saw deathI got scaredbutterflies on my chest Father if possiblepass this cup before me But it s too late I chose my destiny in Gethsemane. [LAURYN:] You see I loved hard oncebut the love wasn t returned I found out the man I d die forhe wasn t even concerned And time it turned He tried to burn me like a perm Though my eyes saw the deceptionMy heart wouldn t let me learn From umsomedumb womanwas I And everytime he d liehe would cry and inside I d die. My heart must have died a thousand deaths Compared myself to Toni Braxton thought I d never catch my breath Nothing lefthe stole the heart beating from my chest I tried to call the copsthat type of thief you can t arrest Pain suppressedwill lead to cardiac arrest Diamonds deserve diamondsbut he convinced me I was worth less when my peoples would protest I told them mind their businesscause my s was complex More than just the sex I was blessedbut couldn t feel it like when I was caressed I d spend nights clutching my breasts overwhelmed by God s test I was God s best contemplating death with a Gillette But no man is ever worth the paradise MANIFEST [PRAZ:] Gun-clap Shell cap Got them crawling on they back Come through with the Fu They be who the F k is that It s unpredictablewhen my tongue performs like Jujitsu Cut you with my lyricsstab you with my pencil Lethal injectionwitness protection Refugee camp s under investigation Gunshot bursts in all directions For the wack MC s we read your revelations Discharge through your pores Get raw and kill Boors I can Capleton when I m on a Tour Some manifestwith slugs in they chest God bless all the Cowboys in the Wild Wild West
