Mankind
Raging Fyah Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

See the truth from the root
You got to know before you teach the youth
Who's a high man
The importants of fireman
We all could be better someday
If we only prepare for the things we pray
We've got to believe it
Before we receive it

Mankind don't know the powers they have so gwan skylock
The little mature getter broad when there's a lot more to reach in the vibe
Mankind don't know the powers they have so gwan skylock
The little mature getter broad when there's a lot more to reach in the vibe

For every man there's a star
You got to first know who you are
So what they hate you.
Let it motivate you...
Girl you think it could happen like that
Sit on there 'pon the corner with your friends and chat
On the rise now
And give dem a surprise now

Mankind don't know the powers they have so gwan skylock
The little mature getter broad when there's a lot more to reach in the vibe
Mankind don't know the powers they have so gwan skylock
The little mature getter broad when there's a lot more to reach in the vibe

SOLO

Mankind don't know the powers they have so gwan skylock
The little mature getter broad when there's a lot more to reach in the vibe
