Текст песни Manafest - Slang Talkin (My Own Thing 2003)
Slang Talkin’ Lyrics[Intro]
Haha, yeah, uh, where we at to stay, y'all
Livin' on the street corner, no, really
Just havin' fun doin' our own thing (You know what I'm sayin'?)
Street language, we live by it
Talk by it on the daily (Uh, come on)
[Verse 1]
My type a lingo, street slang, when head banging
Reading Romans, and fans chant, with understanding
Common words reworked, son, you can't follow
Flipped styles, don't use when you talk to Mama
Call it yo' girl, mm, don't know how it go down
She ain't your boy, dude, chill with that four pound
I don't stress a suit to work or tie it up
Baggie denim earrings my took, looking tough
The only difference is Christ in my sentences
Words are power, I know what repentance is
The irregular slang developer
Trend setting the reflects in the mirror, yo
You know the type, I talk like "Pass me a drink, please"
I'm like "Bust me them beverages, I'm thirsty"
Speaking wisdom of the Solomon, coloring the verbal
Switching up the pace like commercials
[Chorus]
I live inside the rhythm, rise with the wisdom
Die as a Christian, slang style how I hit 'em
Talk how I want, I live for my God
Mastering the art, not following the odds
I live inside the rhythm, rise with the wisdom
Die as a Christian, slang style how I hit 'em
Talk how I want, I live for my God
Mastering the art, not following the odds
[Verse 2]
Yo, I stretch the alphabet, sounding rich
Started hollering, hustling, busting it
Confidence, talking it, conversations heads, nodding it
To the streets and the office with it
Call it the flipped, figures of speech, spit, hitting the beat
Inner city streets, kids I'm trying to reach, yo
My description is, skate with a pivot
State my business, soul train, say you ate, delicious
Came with a funky attitude, left your brains tattooed
Drippin' like a two for a bruise
Excuse my addiction, but listen what I'm saying
Words with caution, stay meditating
Word of God, I flip it up a bit
That Manafest cat, he on a different tip
So take a ride open-eyed, fantastic, it's a high
Strip the lies, culture rise, slang vibing, vibe, vibe, yeah
Bustin' out what we sayin', check it out
[Chorus]
I live inside the rhythm, rise with the wisdom
Die as a Christian, slang style how I hit 'em
Talk how I want, I live for my God
Mastering the art, not following the odds
I live inside the rhythm, rise with the wisdom
Die as a Christian, slang style how I hit 'em
Talk how I want, I live for my God
Mastering the art, not following the odds
[Outro]
Yeah, yo, man
I just gotta kill my streak
I ain't be like no one else
