MANNOT A MYTH
Verse 1: Fresh Kid Ice
This story began five years ago
Took a funky idea and began to roll
By doing something that was never done
While getting paidstill having fun
Being explicit straight from the streets
Not forgettin our roots to an up-tempo beat
Taking what they say just for granted
For us to give upthat s what they wanted
To do it allwe d be taking shorts
Cause at that time we were given no thought
To follow another; we didn t see it
We re the example for others to see
In the beginning all we had was a phone
And trust in each other was how we lived on
Word was bondwe relied on true
Faith in each other backed up by Luke
Chorus
[We are]
[Ghetto Style]
[Perched in the South]
[The king of the ghetto]
[The mannot a myth]
Verse 2: Brother Marquis
The journey was longbut we fought the struggle
We paid off in the end by the bundles
In the beginningsome were against us
But we proved them wrongand made them envious
So we kept on writingthe public kept on buying
What we were makingthey took a-likin
We found the markethit the target
We started the firebut it s you who sparked it
We stayed independentand we didn t sell out
We started off with no help from the White House
The plot was perfectthough we needed a gimmick
So we thought up this dance called Throw the Dizznick
In no time at allthings started growin
Charts were showin that sales were soarin
Then all the talkin all the squawkin
They tried to take the namebut keep Skyy-walkin
Chorus
Verse 3
[FKI] A black thingfrom beginning to end
Brothers in the business and loyal friends
Steppin on stagesmovin as one
For the money and for the fun
No matter how it goeshow bad it seems
When once seem downwe all come clean
[BM] In unitywe all stand strong
We all step togetherno man walks alone
No matter whatthey can t stop us
They ain t doin us just causewhen it s just us
Any circumstance we must overcome
Let s keep the dream aliveand all get some
And never mind those people with the negative vibe
And never mind the people with the evil eyes
Cause they all flippin somewhere out on a trip
Cause they don t understand the man and the myth
Chorus
