Not Ready To Die Lyrics


Chorus
Breathe, reflect in between my rhymes
Don't know if tomorrow will be my time
Release, ye whole mind body and soul
Up in your zone this world's out a control
Cause If I die before I wake
Pray to God my soul he takes
I got one life, one heart, one mind
I'm not ready die, let's stay alive
Verse I
Why would I lie if I know it's true?
If I'm wrong than I'm wrong than I say that's cool
It's the law of the earth that'll kill me first
It's the God of the universe who saved my birth
Not cocky, not watching, I don't care if yall diss
I got 100 verses 40 songs take ye pick
Average man lives to 65, I got 9 lives
Courtesy of Christ I'm a use all 9

So find me atrocious, I rhyme with emotion
I'm floating in here you better come up for air
You got cash, clothes, a chick, Zero percent
With crack up ye nose bro it don't make sense
And it's been that way you're not D.O.A (dead on arrival)
Yo, did you hear me this life is getting scary
Know what you're about not just knowledge of self
You got one chance to play, and ye cards are dealt
Verse II
I can't be held down, to your worldly styles
Get up and bounce Ricochet off my sound
I ain't ready to, die
I got mileage to ride
I stopped playing with yall,
Between hating my God
Figured him on my side, I could fly or
Walk the waters,
Heal his daughters you've never seen an artist
To spit this truth, this year, kill fear
I'm the new pioneer, and I'm still a kid
Verse III
I ain't got time to waste, this be the last one
The outcome of life I'm unsure, I'm not done
Leave yall a message, and answer some questions
The who what why we here
Why's there fear, if I die, do I rise like birds of the air?
My opinion is clear, in position to care
I can't give it away give it away
What they say can't make or break me
Save me before I start changing
Earthlings I want to hear you'll sing
Stretch ye life out long, I wanna see it bling
Cause if I die I know what's on the other side
One life one God, and I'm flying high

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Chris Greenwood (best known as Manafest) is a rapper from Toronto Ontario Canada.

He is also a skater, which led to his career in hip hop; after an accident in 1998, he took time to focus on rap and was noticed by Trevor McNevan of Ontario-based band Thousand Foot Krutch. This led to his signing to an internationally distributed label, BEC Recordings, and debut release Epiphany, which was made primarily of West Coast hip hop with several rapcore outings in the vein of Limp Bizkit.

He released two independent albums, Mislead Youth (2001) and My Own Thing (2003), prior to Epiphany in 2005. He has toured in Canada, the United States and Ireland to date.

His second album, Glory, emphasized rap-rock elements with more Linkin Park-esque nu metal, and included more authentic hip hop stylings.

Central themes of Manafest's music include nonconformity, hip hop culture, and walking with God.

Manafest says in regards to Glory that: "I wanted to allow all of my influences show on Glory. Musically, I wanted to blend the appeal of Linkin Park, Sum 41, and The Beastie Boys. Vocally, I wanted to merge that with popular hip hop à la Eminem and Kanye West. But beyond musical influence, I wanted to reflect on the issues around me in the most positive way possible. And whether I am talking about the loss of loved ones and abuse, or breakdancing and skate culture, it's all for the glory of heaven. In the end, my prayer is that people would not simply bob their heads to this, but feel a very real sense of healing from the words. However, this record is not all serious. Some of my favorite tracks are the most lighthearted ones."
