UTD - Manifest Destiny lyrics

[Ces] You are about to enter The manifestation of a family cipher The Urban Thermo Dynamics Is about to hit you right about now [VERSE 1: Ces] I'm just here to let you all know I got the flow and the locks that grow I love the nappy heads, the braids and afros Kicks Adidas, jeans Girbaud This is how we go and this is how we do This how we be, we are the big U You don't know me and I don't know you But if you wanna set it, do what you gotta do I keep my flow with the one and two That equals three, first letter C Second letter e, last joint s Styles manifest from Key West to Budapest Nevertheless don't need no S on my chest "Yo, why Ces?" Cause I'm superblessed Save all the stress 'fore I clean up the mess And if it ain't no, then it must be yes And if it's the bomb, then it must be Ces And if it's the bomb, then it must be Ces I got the exposure to keep my composure I'm meetin quotas from Minnesota to Dakota Takin no sh** from the rap promoter Cause if they ever try to, they sh** is over Murky mixture, what's goin on? I leave the party bumpin till the break of dawn Break of dawn, break ya down Yo Mister [Name], I like that sound Put on the weight cause it's more than a pound So if you want some of what I have Meet me on [Name] or Fulton Ave Or Albee Square, a hop from the D Manifest Destiny, it must be (What?) Manifest Destiny, it must be (What?) So check it out [VERSE 3: Mos Def] Well if it ain't red, then it must be blue And if it ain't false, then it must be true And if it ain't day, then it must be night And if it ain't left, then it must be right And if it ain't [?] then it must be hype And if it ain't loose, then it must be tight And if it ain't off, then it must be on If it ain't here, then it must be gone If the sh** ain't proper, then it must be wrong Whatever don't fit does not belong Sunrise to sunset, that's dawn to dusk The big U, a name that you can trust The big U, a name that you can trust The big U, a name that you can trust Lay around on the middle ground, kid, you could die It's game time, son, you better choose yo side Half-measure will no abide If you ain't all the way live, then step aside The deep Medina Green is where I reside And it's about time that this Brooklynite Took the mic and made the world get hype You wanna be hardcore, try livin right Man, n***as be puttin up a hell of a fight Many times I stumble off the righteous path But [?] on my a** But I promise on high plains I take the rocks I got the [?], I will not be stopped I gotta manifest des', what ock, you think not? The verbal juggernauts will make a party lick shot I tread a road more narrow than a [?] Comin from the bottom, so I'm risin to the top What, and you don't stop [CHORUS: Ces, DCQ] Self-actualize and realize, do what you got to do If you can see it, you can be it, manifest, it's up to you Everbody self-actualize and realize, do what you got to do If you can see it, you can be it If your mind can go there, then why can't you? If your mind can go there, then why can't you? If your mind can go there, then why can't you? [VERSE 3: DCQ] Nowadays heads be makin me mad Talk a good game but they legs is bad Yappin at the mouth with the wish I had Hops, do yourself a favor and get off your a** You [?] in between Runnin round town sellin dreams and beans Screamin word is bond, but what's your word worth? Before you indict yourself, fool, think first And if it's my word, then it must be bond And if it's my word, then it must be bond And if it's my word, then it must be bond And the word is, the big U got it goin on Cause in the [?] we takin down vultures Peace to all those who represent the culture To the kings and the queens of the universe Aiyo, we gotta shine the light, aight? Aiyo, we gotta shine the light, aight? Aiyo, we gotta shine the light, aight? [CHORUS]
