2. Who am I, Who am I, Who am I,
Trust me fam I’m the guy
Yeah I went quiet
Didn’t put a song on my soundcloud,
But trust me I’m alive
I am on the rise. No…
Grimes on the rise and I see the fear in their eyes
Might come to your town
Manna might wear all black
Manna might wear all white
And I stay polite, smile, walk to the right and I eat with a
fork and a knife
Watch how you talk when you’re talking to I, get a fork
in the eye
Be nice and its more than alright
Half black half white, sick when I’m writing a tune, ignite
and light up the room,
Establishing his dominance, nobody else compares to him.
Confidence
He took some time off of music but he’s
back now and hasn’t lost a stepThe genre of
grime is on the
rise and
because of this
his competition
are scared
In slang terms if you can “spit fire” you
are very good at rapping. It is a measure
of your skill. Isaiah is saying that
whenever he raps. He lights up the room
because he’s so good.
Go hype in the booth, manna
go hype in the booth, manna
go hype in the booth
3. Manna don’t ride with a crew, manna don’t hype like a
yute,
Manna don’t think that im bad, manna don’t hide from
the truth
The gyaldem say my hooks are hard, yeah I sound right
on the tune
Yeah I stay calm in the yard, but I go hype in the booth
Yeah I go hype in the booth, yeah I go hype in the booth
Gimme a mic and a pen and I swear that im cold as ice
in the booth
gyaldem say my hooks are hard, yeah I sound right on
the tune
Yeah I stay calm in the yard, but I go hype in the booth
He isn’t part of any gang. When he says he
doesn’t hype, he’s not violent and doesn’t
get himself trouble
He doesn’t think
that he’s a
gangster or
something he’s
not, he faces the
truth, that he is a
good honest and
hardworking man
He gets attention
from girls because
of his lyrical talent
4. I got the wildest flow, the mildest dress, a childish soul
I don’t smoke the loudest cro and I don’t try and act like
im about it bro
I got a chick on my arm, manna write 5 whole tracks in
a day, yeah and I do that calm
And I do what they cant, build a machine go 5 years
into the future my darn
Go 5 years into the future, everybody controlled by the
computers
You are the used; you’re not the user
You are the target, watch for the shooter
He’s got ‘the mildest’ dress because he doesn’t wear designer brands, he is
humble and not materialistic.
‘A childish soul’ refers to him not being too serious, he can still have fun. It’s
also a reference to his youth as he is only 17.
He doesn’t do
drugs to show off
His work rate is
unlike any
other’s, he is
hardworking,
and he finds it
easy to write
multiple tracks in
one day.
5. Watch for the fakes, watch for the snakes
Manna just write bars till my arm aches
Manna just write bars till I get paid
Gonna ride for the country in a r8
I was on a late night writing ting
Mash up the beat M Bison ting
Hop on stage, pass me the p’s, show me the exit,
driving ting
Back to my yard, locked outside that’s a par
Knock knock I was like rah, ring up my marge, like yo
mum wagwarn
I’m locked outside that’s larng
And ive been waiting for like one hour, hadn’t played
this one game in a minute,
Open my gate, walk down the road, manna play knock
knock run in my village
Then I got, ch ch chased through the village
That was b b bait for my image
Manna stay true to myself, manna stay true to myself,
wanna know how I did it,
Always be
aware of
people who
would betray
you and stab
you in the back
He continues to work and
push himself until he
physically can’t anymore. He
is hungry to succeed
He will represent his
country and not
forget where he
came from even
when he’s making
millions of pounds
and is famous. He
won’t forget his
roots.
He will not change
his ways like so
many other artists
who become cocky
and let fame get to
their head
