M.anifest – Damn You Rafiki lyrics

Refrain
Monkey dey work baboon dey chop, you no dey see so

Verse
The u.n.i. verse smiles on you and I first
I started my verse with word play, it works
Your honor my submission, i no go rap for no purpose
My only competition me versus my old verses
If wishes were horses and unicorns were Porsches
Then i dey go the stable and dealership, no remorses
Awiase ay3 hu, low lives on their high horses
Man of influence, well what is it he endorses?
He's somewhere in Ghana according to the sources
Somewhere in america some folks burning crosses
(O kkk kay)
No grind no shine no blind no bliss
A lion is a cat does that make him a pussy? (oh shit)
I've been telling these cats no joke don't push me
I'm attracted to women that are beautiful and discrete
At bush canteen chewing on bush meat
Wondering one day will Osama and George Bush meet
My manager stressing me about features
Chasing features can feel so needless
But we dey need them, and others need we
But i go beast feast solo if needs be
I'm way up it's a blessing
Every Tom, Dick, and Zayn don't need to move in one direction
So what if most of my songs don't belong in the club?
We talking upper echelon i belong in that club
When you walking with giants you should be defiant
Showing you the science the principle self-reliance
Broke former ties and formed a new alliance
I don't suit and tie, tie and dye with the mayans
Will never let nobody sit, on my happiness
Industry dey bore me i guess it's just a happy mess
Put that on my nappyness this the sounds of blackness
Back to the future who dare re-enact this
The throne is vacant for the taking
I know they visibly shaking they slept but now awaken
Shaking and baking hotline blinging, i'm i draking
The grass is always greener unless the cattle grazing
Rats still racing and paper chasing the bacon
No pork on my fork but red stripe like i'm jamaican
Knife in the cork but won't wine about your ratings
Yes this native went off the reservation
Primal urge see i'm on the verge
I don't flock together with others i'm not a bird
Fuck feathers see my wings eager and ready to spread
Atwitwi on this niggas, one word, swerve
I no dey talk, proudest when penning these lines
You know, quiet people got the loudest minds
Chale you married to the game she my concubine
King solomon of rhyme with wisdom i'm conquering time
My time has come, dumb dumbs bumping they gums
If M.anifest ain't number one he's second to none
Marquez for your Pacquaio season
Copycats are Suarez, they bite for no reason
My heart dey turn cold like a witch's left titty
No gidigidi gh dey come las gidi
Looking fly in chocolate clothes, custom dashiki
Monkey dey work baboon dey chop damn you rafiki
I get love in Nairobi and Jozi
Phonies ignores me now they think that we homies
Chics pay me attention like they owe me
My vim dey new dimensions ask the old me
(monkeys play by sizes) don't rile me up
If u no be my size then don't size me up
It's a wrap it's a duku, it's a sap it's a mugu
And it's raining dogs and cats feels so breezy in my fugu
Only two rappers in Africa
Me and no one in particular
And if you no dey barb pardon my vernacular... so spectacular


Refrain
Monkey dey work baboon dey chop you no dey see so
Hunger dey wey some people just dey feast so
Monkey dey work baboon dey chop you no dey see so
Monkey see monkey do, i don't think so
