Oh this is a song from my soul
This time I wont sweat it, Im gonna let it go
I dont recognize my own face no more
I stare in a mirror than turn and its gone
Nameless and famous changing my alias
Manafest Chris fighting for the right placement
1979 I was born 1995 I grabbed a board
1999 I wrote a song, spit a metaphor
Went from amateur to entrepreneur
You still dont know me, you dudes cant touch me
Stab me, kill me, hug me or love me
Inside Im a person, hurting, and working
Pouring myself out, putting my neck out
Can you see him? I tell them Im right here
He still wont come out hes rivaled with fear
Examined by the critics, and put on this dis list
I wont be jaded though Im starting to see it
They dont respect him hes just another musician
Oh this is a song from my soul
This time I wont sweat it, Im gonna let it go
I wont stress Ill just do my best
Yeah!!! Youve taken up all my cares
Given me eye sight and meaning
And Ill let the whole world know about you
The voice of suicide
Used to creep up in my mind
The fat kid could care less if I lived or died
I didnt think it had affect on me
But now Im 25 watching my weight size, Im really scrawny
The name calling, bullying from the hooligans
The whos in, whos not had no friends
My audience is triple the size of that now
All eyes on me shall I rap now Thank you all for coming to my show
Thank you for burning my cd that you stole
When I get desperate I write a message
My rhymes the essence of day to day lessons
Feeling butt naked my pride has been taken
Every mistake that Ive made there taping
Can I find peace, can I find me
Whos the real man thats hiding behind the emcee?
I want to know
Oh this is a song from my soul
This time I wont sweat it, Im gonna let it go
I wont stress Ill just do my best
Yeah!!! Youve taken up all my cares
Given me eye sight and meaning
And Ill let the whole world know about you
We may not agree on everything or anything
By any means Im a fulfill the dream
I seen it come and go, Ive tried to grab hold
Hope I dont end up losing my soul
Hip hop aint worth it Ive served and cursed it
Sacrificed to make it work, and lost my purpose
Its not what Id die for to risk my wife and all
Strife cause cant compare the lives its caught
I am Christian, emceeing a gifting, hip hops what Im living
Not replacing religion,
I got relationship with a God in the sky
He talks to me defines wrong and the right
Talk to him, when youre walking or jogging
Skating or playing, or painting or balling
Im a pass the mic, I on a path for Christ
Let me tell ye the, shoot Im out a time
