Verse 1 (Rei)
You say you're working out but you can't bench the bars I spit
the first rounds on me still you can't spar with this
Light it up light it up like an arsonist
I'm in the class of the hard on that martyr shit yeah
It's not about the power it's about the technique
Chief shit I’m bout it leave ya girl in wet sheets
Cuz she need someone to come with she asking for my deetz
Balling on a budget you can check my receipts
Woop woop I bring that thunder
Woop woop know I got that mana
That south pacific stunner for your supper
I'll have her coming Down under yeeaaah
Party out in Welly walk in like I own it
They thinking I'm bots but they just lack my focus
Oh lord all these girls look like Lorde
Know I'll be going till the sunlight dawn and
I’ll be yelling
Chorus
Mana over everything
Mana over everything
Mana over everything
Fuck that money we on better things
Mana over everything
Mana over everything
Mana over everything
And if you wanna be a Chief you should do the same
Verse 2 (Kid)
My flow’s phat with a P H, don’t you call me Cee Lo
Got a massive pride don’t mistake it for my ego
Keep my mana on top and it follows wherever we go
You say you know my name cuz I’m no longer D low you see bro
I’m killing it, feeling it spilling it while I’m reeling it in
Tryna get back on my real shit so just pick up a pen
And spend the time to master your zen bro
If I don’t know the answer I’ve still got lots of info
Let me breathe while I’m free through these trees
Feel the breeze in my throat and your throat on my D
Grab a throne for this nigga
My girl got mad figure never seen a booty bigger so I snigger hah
Not a cocky mothafucka I’m just proud as
Of my fams and my friends and a round ass
Sound ass sleep is what I aim for
And if you want me then I’m chilling at the same door Mana over everything.
Chorus
Verse 3 (Andy Fisher)
Ring dinga linga ling buddy on my phone
What it do what it is bring that mana home
Got my ride and my hook bout to shut it down
Straight working on my tan yes I love it now
It don’t matter who you are don’t matter what you got
Pull a chair sit down have some of this grub
Mana be the realest food that I ever munched
Go live by it, that’s Mana over Everything.
Bridge
It’s mana over everything
These fellaz sounding too American
This some NZ for your benefit
Know where we from so we represent
