Testo Ozymandias - M.anifest feat. Paapa
Testo della canzone Ozymandias (M.anifest feat. Paapa), tratta dall'album Nowhere Cool
Tell Oxymandias. Everyman dies
Ozymandias anaa sɛ ɛyɛ Ozymandias?
Men hyɛda nhu, but asɛm no nie
The emperor e no get no clothes on
Bought himself a cloud nine, that's what he floats on
Ego be ein medicine, gets his daily dose on
Too far gone to know what dey gon on
Fine women, fine linen chale that's a given
The motto be 'forget dem' who are we kidding
Stone cold prison sponsored by myopia
Slogan of the century must be yentie obiaa
The people no get bread
Then for petes sake let them eat cake
My big statue reminds them we are too great
What i for do bout the hullaboloo and the much ado
Biggest palanquin you ever seen, i am breaking news
Have you ever seen a king
Who's not a man?
Have you ever seen a statue
Giving out commands?
Have you ever seen a king
Who's not a man? (Have you ever ever)
Have you ever seen a statue
Giving out commands? (Probably never never)
Tell Ozymandias
Every man dies
Ozymandias
Every man dies
Ozymandias
Every man dies
Ozymandias
Every man dies
(The heart can't believe what the eyes cannot see)
I'm not a tyrant i'm a father figure so go figure
When i'm gone my fame and name will grow bigger
I ain't no ordinary nigga, the H.N.I.C you see
(The heart can't believe what the eyes cannot see)
You dey bench i'm the skipper
You newspaper, i'm the scripture
Levels dey between a palm wine tapper and a champagne sipper
I can never even imagine that my lights will ever flicker
Shadow boxing with my legacy off course i emerge victor
I'm Van Gogh, Victor, can you see I paint a picture?
I'm Stalin tell the comrades I'm the peoples darling
I'm Roosevelt of course you felt i'm that new deal
Idi Amin nah mean? Don't care how your crew feel
I'm too real, indelible
Tombstone reads incredible
I built me a pedestal
A pro amongst professionals
King of kings, the great great
When I'm gone, the late great
Kukurudu, the earth quakes
None will ever take my place
Have you ever seen a king
Who's not a man? (Have you ever ever)
Have you ever seen a statue
Giving out commands? (Probably never never)
Tell Ozymandias
Every man dies
Ozymandias
Every man dies
Ozymandias
Every man dies
Ozymandias
Every man dies
(The heart can't believe what the eyes cannot see)
Before bathroom selfies and hotels for the wealthy
Statues had value, can't argue it's all true
Ozymandias, I see sey you be liar
(The heart can't believe what the eyes cannot see)
Heard from a little birdie
For the early bird it gets wormy
Not every crook gets attorney
Not every king is worthy
And we all go reach the pearly gates
E no be complex or figure 8
(The heart can't believe what the eyes cannot see)
You can't cement your legacy with cement blocks
Before the cock crows the winds of change will cock block
The end
Have you ever seen a king
Who's not a man? (Have you ever ever)
Have you ever seen a statue
Giving out commands? (Probably never never)
Tell Ozymandias
Every man dies
Ozymandias
Every man dies
Ozymandias
Every man dies
Ozymandias
Every man dies
The heart can't believe what the eyes cannot see
