M.anifest goes on a lyrcical onslaught on god MC

by Phil Chard

M.anifest is in rare form on his new release god MC. The Dram Jay produced song is a hybrid of highlife and trap music as Mdot lays into his mortal competition. When it dropped the Ghanaian lyricist got the internet buzzing as people tried to decipher his lyrics to try and who the veiled jabs were directed at. The major consensus seems to be that the song as was response to Sarkodie’s song Bossy where he dropped this set of lines at the end of the third verse.

Fake niggas, snake niggas , I don’t like

Me I don’t believe shit, is all hype

Friends turn into enemies, it’s called life

…..

M.anifest . Mesrɛ wo [I beg you] lemme just

Use your dot dot dot to dot to end this verse

On god MC Manifest literally returns the favour to Sark by reciting

God mc never been a faker

I dey go see shatta for mahama paper

My guy obidi, let me return the favour

You know what time it is, later is greater

But the cryptic shots and shout outs out to artist are not limited to Ghanaian artists alone. On the first few bars of the song M.anifest raps

I pull up on the feature, screaming hallelujah

In a barracuda smoking buddha in Fallujah

Clash of the titans I had dinner with medusa

Don't turn me into stone, boy I'm a ruler

They sipping amarula me I kick it with a cougar

Tonight will be lit, super

While adopting the flow used by the self-proclaimed Super Mega AKA on Composure. On the song M.anifest also throws shots at artists who are trying too hard to emulate Western artist instead of carving out their own style, while also laying into “yes men muppets” and those that are overly covered with titles, diplomas and the bible while abandoning critical thinking.
