[Intro: Melo Makes Music]
Yeah
Ooh

[Verse 1: Melo Makes Music]
I've got a beautiful aura
I've had problems with problems
Folks unconcerned with the needy
Just like Gomorrah and Sodom
Really came from the bottom
The southeast side of Chicago
I've got a beautiful future
I'm manifesting the outcome
I got some fans and some watches
Watch y'all fall off like a blossom
In the middle of autumn
What we got is so awesome
I swear to— it's colossal
Push through all of the trauma
Get it hot like the summer
Like July in Nevada

[Pre-Chorus: Melo Makes Music]
It's a declaration, proclamation, manifest and set in place to motivate
With the combination of imagination and administration ain't nobody safe
Get a bag, flip a bag, get it back, reinvest it, make it last
Screaming, "We the best", that's the key of life
Tell my former life that we free at last
[Chorus: Melo Makes Music]
Ooh, manifesto
Used to need a quarter for the corner store (Yeah, yeah, ayy)
Ooh, this my cornerstone (Yeah, oh!)
If you lookin' for me I'll be at the studio, yeah, yeah

[Verse 2: Melo Makes Music]
Y'all late, need to update your ETA
I got superstar in my DNA
We just got seen by the NBA
We workin' hard, so make no mistake, anyways
These rappers corny like Frito-Lay, D.O.A
I lay my pen like I'm Hemingway
If you goin' through it, you'll be okay
I'm using my music as P.S.A

[Verse 3: Kota the Friend]
Yo
I don't talk about it, I just do it like it's Nike
I'm— chill as fuck but I could bring the fire like a IcyHot
I been layin' low because I do a lot
Lotta people need me and I do not take it lightly, nah
I— I pay to live
I tell the shit how it is
And I be minding my biz-
I do not speak on the bag
Why is you so negative?
I made it here on my own
Pushin' through all of the lows
I was in Brooklyn recording alone in the trap
Roaches and racks, now I am lit as the record'll show
[Pre-Chorus: Melo Makes Music]
It's a declaration, proclamation, manifest and set in place to motivate
With this generation, take this information, everything is good in moderation
Get a bag, flip a bag, get it back, reinvest it, make it last
And with dedication, motivation, you can build an operation, so applicate

[Chorus: Melo Makes Music]
Ooh, manifesto
Used to need a quarter for the corner store (Yeah, yeah, ayy)
Ooh, this my cornerstone (Yeah, oh!)
If you lookin' for me I'll be at the studio, yeah, yeah
