M.anifest - Hubris lyrics

What you gon do when you grow up (abrabɔ)
Is ego enough to take you over
What you gon do what you gon
Do what you gon do
Is ego enough to take you over

Blinded by excitement
Seeking new enlightenment
Ghanaman original, cynical
These are fragments
Of thoughts so lost maybe homeless
On a park bench
Heart wrench heartbreak shit
Excuse my French
Days without showers body stench
But in my defence
My euros ain't plural and my
Dollars ain't making sense
Stolen innocence on the face is evidence
Pestilence, negligence
Meek might turn into militant
Intelligent immigrants ducking
From government denizens and citizens
False sense of entitlement
Arrogant kings get robbed in
The right environment
Like Tyson after Buster Douglas wondering
Where the title went
The hubris of loose lips
Might hurt a feel feelings if they
Still living they will sink ships
Most definite, strings no guitar riffs
Not trying to be the hardest or a con artist
I'm a modern day Calloway hideaway
Wisdom a mile away
Hi-de hi-de-ho well what do
You know it's Hathaway
Little ghetto child running wild it's
For you I pray it's a world of sinners and
Predators hope you Ain't prey
I pray for your ego
Even though you need a little
To fiddle with dignity, i know
Excited about kindred spirit in whom
You put your faith though
Like Lila in Dexter, way before he sexed here
In this movie of life off
Course I’m not an extra
Got a main role on payroll for my lectures
In the land of kings why
Apply for court jester
Shield of Jah guide me be my protector
"Expecter" of despair I’m aware it's
On the come up so I ain't the same dude
That I was last summer
Reasonable doubt, cable is indeed bs
So I keep my eye open on PBS
And a lot changed since i came to the us
Still got African connects from New
York to the west you guessed right
My life has been so eventful
So now I just wanna be successful
Don't measure success as dem others do
I'm coming thru
Incognito like dem undercovers do
Devil's brew sip and think you
Number one and shit reign on top shorter
Than celebrity relationships
It ain't kosher but I gotta bring closure
Reunite like mike and Evander on Oprah
Older so I'm hip to this here life science
After this you will hear the
Deafening sound of silence

What you gon do when you grow up
Is ego enough to take you over
What you gon do what you gon
Do what you gon do
Is ego enough to take you over

What you gon do when you grow up
Is ego enough to take you over
What you gon do what you gon
Do what you gon do
Is ego enough to take you over
