Jacob James - Manhattan

Whoa
Whoa, whoa

Rapping like I've been around the world, but I haven't
The farthest East I've ever been was Manhattan
Taking the lead on the game, I'm the captain
Got the controls in my hand like madden

Can somebody testify?
Can I get a witness?
Uh, uh, uh, uh
Can I get a witness?

Can somebody testify?
Tell me if you with this?
Uh, uh, uh, uh
Tell me if you with this?

This year was life changing
The world was raging I'm waiting
For someone to hop out the stage
And say we JK'ing

That's not gon' happen
There's no capping

This whole year was tragic
Looking like something out of
An apocalyptic dramatic
All the corrupted diplomatic systems
Have created prisons

We need freedom from the oppressors
Going through this together
The times is rough, but we tough like leather
We gotta be diamonds with all of this pressure

I've been working on my fitness and business
Trying my absolute best to avoid
The illness, the sickness

This is for IRS
I still haven't got my stimulus
But it's okay
I'm still getting by, I got God on my side

I got Corona this year
But when I say that, I don't even mean the beer
Turned 21, but the months that followed
Were so severe

We lost Kobe, we lost Gigi
Pop Smoke, Chadwick and Eddie
And believe me
Yeah nobody was ready

So many breakdowns, I lost count
Feeling like I could've drowned
Now my heads above the water and
I can finally breathe, aye

And I finally found the peace!

Faced a pandemic and social injustice
The devil really be throwing his punches
Tryna to make us tremble

The come back is here
I'm not gonna to touch my plate
Till everybody gets their meal
Gotta keep it real

Rapping like I've been around the world, but I haven't
Farthest East I've ever been was Manhattan
Taking the lead on the game, I'm the captain
Got the controls in my hand like madden

Can somebody testify?
Can I get a witness?
Uh, uh, uh
Can I get a witness?

Can somebody testify?
Tell me if you with this?
Uh, uh, uh
Tell me if you with this?

I'm doing this for the Kids and Plays
I don't make mixtapes for the potential plays
This was for fun but I realized if I make it a run
Then why not do it for the Son?
