[Intro: James Brown, Big Daddy Kane]
"Ow" "Ow" "Ow"
"Gather 'round"
"Gather 'round"
"Gather, gather, gather 'round"
"Word-word-word-words that I man-man-man-man-manifest"
"Word-words that-that I man-manifest-fest-fest" "Ow"
[Verse 1: Guru]
I profess and I don't jest 'cause the words I manifest
They will take you, sedate you, and I will stress upon
You the need for, you all to feed your
Mind and soul, so you can lead yourself
To keep, I got a real objective here
I am effective here, 'cause I select a clear
Message to all, suckers I maul they'll fall and crawl
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
My fate is to be, cold makin' history
I use sincerity, but I'm so very deep
Doubts are questions, of all the skeptics
I'm kickin' clout and, I'll leave you vexed
It's just true, there's nothing so-so 'cause I know
Right about this minute I'm in it, admit it I did it for 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
Using lines of my rhymes I ingest
These are the words that I manifest, I manifest
[Scratched Chorus: Big Daddy Kane]
"Take-take, take heed to the words that I manifest"
"Take heed to the word-word-word-words that I manifest"
[Verse 2: Guru]
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' for 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's the proof, so won't you throw a hand in the air
Put up a peace sign and be fine
And though we're feeling 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, so God bless your life
Use kindness, and never blindness
And you will find that this perspective is best, check it out
These are the words that I manifest, I manifest
[Scratched Chorus: Big Daddy Kane]
"Take heed to-to the w-words that I man-manifest-fest-fest"
"Take-take heed to-to the w-w-words that I manifest"
"Take heed to the word-word-words that I manifest"
"Take heed to the word-words that I man-man-man-manifest"
[Verse 3: Guru]
I convey that what I say will awaken you today
After jockin' while I'm talkin'
But any way that you put it, I give you, lyrics to live to
Righteousness rules, so I'll forgive you this time
For you are being very ignorant
That's insignificant, I guess you figured and
Hoped to be, dope as me, I G, 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 I
These are the words that I manifest, I manifest
[Scratched Chorus: Big Daddy Kane]
"Take, take, take heed to the words that I manifest"
"Take heed to, to the w-words that I manifest"
"Take heed to the words that I manifest"
"Take heed to the w-words that-that I manifest"
"Take heed to the word-words that I man-man-mani-mani-mani-mani-manife-fe-fe-fe-fest"
"Words that I manifest"
"Words that-that I man-manifest"
"Words that I manifest"
"Words that-that I manifest"
"Words that I manifest"
"Words that I manifest"
"Words that I manifest"
"Words that I manifest"
