Skills (feat. Trevor MC Nevan) Lyrics


See the light or get knocked off, I don't talk a lot
I drop it, hot modern day psalmist topping charts
Get me in my comfort at a concert
For child hurts merging in the city clubs and outskirtsPower the verse from the words of God dialogging
Keep walking proceed behind the line of caution
It's just in, I heard them men's talking
He ain't the same dude changed afraid, he came to pay duesIt used to be about skills, now it's about bills
You don't know me and you can't hold me, yo!
I'm still true to my game where I put my name
No, I won't change, you're all fakeI wanna run away from where I was found
And bring me one step closer to where I am now
And every time you try, breaking me down
I'm gonna get right back up and stand my groundI run up in your set with black cons and a skate deck
Throwing hockey pucks blowing speakers and mic check
One, two, what you gone do when I come through
With a team of crazy Canadians rocking skidoos and snow racesYou can call it whatever you like, won't have an affect on your life, right
Tell me people never listen to the words
Well, watch the reaction I get when I drop this verseStep into this game man, a lot of punches being thrown at you

I've fallen down, I don't know how many times you just got to get
Right back up, move!It used to be about skills, now it's about bills
You don't know me and you can't hold me, yo!
I'm still true to my game where I put my name
No, I won't change, you're all fakeI wanna run away from where I was found
And bring me one step closer to where I am now
And every time you try, breaking me down
I'm gonna get right back up and stand my ground

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."
