20 of the Best Lyrics From Fashawn’s ‘Manna’ EP

"Hammer, on my hip, Cal/Let a grip, Blaow!/Now you hit/Hear that, loud in the spliff/Crowd know it's piff/Leave you sittin' with the clouds/Body found by a ditch/All I need is a few pounds and a mound I can pitch"

"Leave you grounded and pissed/Shootin' rounds til it click/Hold it, down til every grizzly, 'round me is rich/Go head, lose yo' head/Put underground I insist/Shoot a rapper out his kilt/Give his gown to my bitch"

"So much irrational behavior/We cutthroats casually/Spiritual depravity/Money is your new majesty/I'm in search of, in search of/A new habitat for humanity/No time to sleep, no canopies/Brand new day, different brand of weed"

"I wish we could recycle all this time we wasted/From Washington to Obama's nation/Your memory box is inside the matrix/You can't determine if it's God or Satan/Controlling your actions/A controllable attraction/And the globe is filled with madness/Only guarantees is death and taxes"

"What the fuck y'all expect, besides for me to pull out and fire/Leave you dead or alive, nigga/This as real as it gets/Forty in the ’fridgerator with a Philly to twist/I'm scared, today could be my last day/Same spliff, different ashtray/Still getting dough boy, you can ask Tray/No Windex, let the gat spray"

"Now, nothings the same/Notice every muthafucka is tucking they chain and everybody can get it/Seen a nigga catch a body and then hop in a Civic/Cause all he fear is that the coppers will get him/Came back and he shot every witness/Now he praying that God will forgive him"

"What about the life of Marcus Garvey/Y'all know Martin, wouldn't have yo' life if it wasn't for my darkness/Darker than the panther on the jacket on Huey P./Newton and Rodney Seal, few of us rot and steal/We built this country off of blood and sweat/Teardrops and picked cotton, in mud we stepped/Mama Harriet Tubman, was a woman so real/Only woman in history with her face on a bill"

Clarence 1XXX was a hero to me/Felt like a Five Percenter was the thing to be/In the wild wild west, I still pray to the east/MJ on the speakers, MJs on my feet"

"I fell in love with TLC when I was three years old/Angela Davis, bailed out by a reverend/It was about community, wasn't about complexion/Halafi and Fard, they was plotting for Allah/Pictures of Bob Marley and Selassie on my wall"

"Said she love dark meat, filet mignon/If she lay with Shawn, she gon' stay til morning/Most likely give a grade A performance/No waist but her cake's enormous/Dirty ass mouth but her face is gorgeous/She gonna make a playboy pay her mortgage/Escape in a wraith, vacate the fortress/Don't get the picture, stay out the portrait" - Fashawn

"Every city that I go in, every town I hit/Scrolling through my IG I found a bitch/Yeah, flipping through the pages/Baby name Stasha, the bitch is outrageous/And I love the shit that she do for me/Keep it one hundred and being truthfully/See ain't no bitch like this bitch I got/She roll my Backwoods while taking a shot" - Snoop Dogg

"You the Kim to my Kanye/But she gotta have a face like Tinashe/Based on Beyonce, waist with the concave/Shaped like a seven point eight and tastes like an entree/I don't have to feast but bon appetit/After we fuck, we don't have to speak" - Fashawn

"Celebrate with the fam, light this J in my hand/Maybe take out this cam, demostrate for the gram/Chef Gordon, watchin bitches get naked for the bands/Where all the naysayers and player haters is banned/How I grind, you wouldn't last a day in my Vans/When I shine, the result, my name in demand/Never taking advice, I'd rather take an advance/Rather take a flight and vacay to Japan"

"Lotta jokes, lotta smoke/Pop bottles in every borrough and barrio/Champagne made the block feel like the Bellagio/Case of Dom and some dominos/Dinero, Sucio and designer clothes/Some of my friends, fellas, happy they're finally home/Sent more than a kite, showed 'em they're not alone"

Saw the pain in your eyes, yeah I wish I was the blame this time/But the only thing we could blame is time/You knew it wasn't your fault that a loved on was lost/I mean, I wish turn your pain into mine/F-Y-I, on me, you can rely for a helping hand or a shoulder where you could cry"

"I got a fully loaded cartridge and thoughts and enemies/Rhymes razor sharp, that's that Rawkus energy/My heart pump Hennessy/Veins pump Don Julio, rock rubies/Assorted color stones in the jewelry/Picture that, a nigga delegatin' with diplomats/Used to pitch nickel sacks/Now I can shit a stack"

"I don't get excited, I get ignited/Burn like a brush fire when I write it/Barb wire for those bitin'/Titan in the ring, Tyson when I swing/Python, when the mic's on, I strike harm/Madre know I'ma drug dealer uh/Tecate sippin, my mug's rippin/Compadre stealin', the slug peelin'"

"Somebody, anybody, what’s the worth of a Black life?/Or even a Brown one? I heard they get found son/When his noodle’s hanging outside of his dome/Mama gotta pay for the funeral, need a loan/She’ll be lucky if his murder even make the news/I feel a pain like Billy when she sang the blues"

"Yo Lady Liberty got a pentagram in her vagina/Ever seen a tommy gun in the hands of a minor?/Ever seen a cop grab his cannon and fire/At somebody unarmed? A brother bodily harmed/Feel like I don’t belong, got one eye on the law/Thinkin’ if they kill us one by one—problem resolved"

"No justice for Alton Sterling or Bettie Jones/Miguel Espinal, Nathaniel Picket, Philando/That’s the taste of a Bland decision/Ambulances, families panic-stricken/Lie in a casket or you could land in prison/That ultimatum still stands in the land we live in/All it took was a few grams, got my man convicted/It’s harder being Dante than being Darren Wilson"
