Manafest
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.

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."

Impossible
by Manafest
Crying and hiding this feeling
Running and fighting for freedom
This is the last time, I'll cry lullabies
All night can't sleep I hear the floors creek
I feel shadows in my room
My friends find another bruise
I'm a end up on the news
I just don't know what to do
God I'm calling you
Send an angel send two
I want a move but I'm trapped in the outer room
I know you hear me clearly I'm weary
Come and fill me with your power heal me
[Chorus]
It seems impossible for me to let this go
Feel like an animal, I'm ready to lose control
Take everything you need, take every part of me
Take every part of me give me some room to breathe
Chorus:
I got to get away
Got a break away
Save me
Got to find away
Got to break the chains
Take me
Before I lose control
Before I lose control
It seems impossible
It's not impossible
I'm tired so tired of walking through this fire
If you want to find me I'll be here in my room
I'm thinking your drinking,
Need to get out before you start swinging
Wish I could show you all the pain inside me
It seems impossible
Crying and hiding this feeling
Running and hiding from freedom
For me to loose control
Crying and hiding this feeling
Running and hiding from freedom
I'm so tired a walking this line through the fire
If you want to find me I'm in my room retired
Hiding this feeling I'm thinking your drinking
Sinking deep ducking under your swinging, out a commission
Living cold day's hallways filled with the mistakes
Wish I could show you all the pain inside it's caused me
It used to be a house, a home now it's neither yo
So I'm leaving with the cross strapped to my soul
