M.anifest – We Ate Hearts And Drank Beers lyrics

[Intro]

...dɔ dɔ dɔ ti dɔ

[Hook]

We been out here for light years, it's quite clear we fight fear
Embrace hugs and ideas, we ate hearts and drank beers
The Nate Doggs, the Eyedeas, they went soon, the eyes tear
Like icing, we top tier, like Tyson we bite ears
Ayekoo ayekoo we toast up, chaley cheers
Ayekoo ayekoo we post up, we right here

[Verse 1: M.anifest]

All black dingaling, yes I let my nuts swing
Life's got a downside but I'm on the upswing
Why am I so cocksure, I'm not sure
When u hear that ding ding ding, I'm going left like a south paw
I remember as a Sophomore
Didn't wanna suffer more
Boring theories in academia since they suck and all
But still it was shock and awe, when I started popping off
That was after college mental masturbation jacking off
They dug how I meta-morph, cover of the college mag
Drove a Ford Taurus it was towed now I'm taking cabs
Had a 9 to 5, did a Pepsi ad, spare cash
Put an album out, showing off my bare ass
Things got rough got unemployed real fast
Now I'm self employed with a ploy to be kick ass
Home is where the hate is, home is where the love is
So Ghana go be where I go dey regardless


[Hook]

[Verse 2: M.anifest]

Kiddie time na we be dadabee, now we hard guys
Wanna eyes open life screech we like car tires
Wanna voice change from treble to bass no lie
Nobody dey my level chaley I swear no size
All the mpanifuor wey dem hear me, they co-sign
E be Accra wey dem born me, by the coastline
Odo river still dey bore me, the smell no fine
Still I walk and I talk like whole city's mine
Ababio me se ma be fie, chaley one time
The music scene I came to clean, Zoom lion grind
But make I come clean, cause I got c.r.e.a.m on my mind
'Cash rules everything around me' is blind
I walked the red carpet for Ghana music awards
Then I realized I'd rather walk on the labadi shores
Whose world is this (it's yours) be your own boss
Monkey dey work baboon dey chop, of course!

[Hook]
