"The Way of Manele" from the album "The Shape of Party to Come" by Pás de Problème, released by Exotic Underground, Lisboa 2019
lyrics:
Manele was a boy,
a mature boy, a nature boy
wild dreams, so it seems
very far very far
fools and kings,
and the greatest thing
he ever did
was NOTHING
he just stopped.
100% Manele
Manele Realidade Virtual
no formalities, no verbal assault
ain’t no manifest no profanity
manele just won’t be no more
stuck by default just that
(dig it) just stop right there
(dig it) go deep right there
like that (dig it)
Manele spoke many visions, obvious prisons, reasons without please us, bless us, stress enough to crush us, rise up (dit it)
imagine all the things i can do right here (he said),
don’t make move don’t make fear oh my ruby dear let me shine like that (dig it) it’s fine like that (dig it)
and they look at him
and they said.
Ah Manele
Mai Manele
Oh Manele
Uh Manele
—
Manele was a boy
a uncomprehending decoy
no meant for the mainstream evil
the game is not enough (dig it)
that’s not credible (dig it)
routine wishing
faster than your freestyle
syllable slippin’ trickin’ your flow while
might take you
to acknowledge
the rep, the dreams, it seems
very far (dig it)
very far (dig it)
Manele was moving show unlikely to happen and crowd stuck starring screaming he not adapt in (dig it) he ain’t capable, he aint stabable boy. Manele riding the most magnetic traveler’s joy, strippi’n to believe in, magnificent foes, all the trouble goes, crafted by design as demands by the spine of your traveler guide
Ah Manele
Mai Manele
Oh Manele
Uh Manele
—
if ain’t have a skill to trade shut the hell up.
That’s the way of Manele.
