M.anifest, Paapa - Ozymandias lyrics

(Tell Ozymandias, every man 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 was not a man?
Have you ever seen a statue
Giving out commands?
Have you ever seen a king who was not a man?
Have you ever seen a statue
Giving out commands?
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 forever grow bigger
I ain't no ordinary nigga, the HNIC 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 dialem
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 was not a man?
Have you ever seen a statue
Giving out commands?
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 was not a man?
Have you ever seen a statue
Giving out commands?
Tell Ozymandias, every man dies
Ozymandias, every man dies
Ozymandias, every man dies
Ozymandias, every man dies
