MERRY IMBOLC!!<br />
I barely got this song written and performed in time to submit to my distributor! I got hit with a double whammy throat cold, UGH!!!<br />
I was looking to write a "move on" song when a friend requested a "Manifestation" song.<br />
------------------<br />
Lyrics explanations<br />
When I was a kid and first getting into hip hop, rap group "Gangstarr" lead by rapper Guru had a song called "Manifest"<br />
"These are the words YOU manifest" is a tribute to those lyrics.<br />

In the Transformers series "Beast Wars," the character Megatron is not the original Megatron but a Decepticon descendent. One of his quirks is instead of saying "Yes" or "YES!" he says "Yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyessssssssssssss" like he was trying to be seductive.<br />
Keep your head up like Eme Alfonso<br />
Preserving your halls high notes like Sopranos<br />
progress you can't refuse life improvement<br />
One of my favorite songs is "Keep Your Head Up" by the Preservation Hall Jazz Band featuring Eme Alfonso (the singer).<br />

Followed by a Sopranos mafia joke<br />
"Nintendo power code" *cough*<br />
OLD TIMER VOICE : You see kiddos when we wuz yungins in order to cheat at them tharr Neentendoz video games we'd have to memorize a bunch of random button combinations and if we didn't do it right the D.A.R.E. lion will appear and shame us until we cried. *curls into a fetal position* "WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"<br />
-----------------<br />
Find the new road, a new mission awaits<br />
Keep on waking don't change your gait <br />
Yo these are the words that you manifest<br />
Manufacture the best outcome yes<br />
Like Megatron in a Beast Wars Marathon <br />
Be your own yes man become the paragon<br />
Of resilience endurance and brilliance<br />
A positive attitude can be worth millions<br />
Keep your head up like Eme Alfonso<br />
Preserving your halls high notes like Sopranos<br />
progress you can't refuse life improvement<br />
steps and goals crescendo go through it<br />
Nintendo power code, believe in yourself<br />
Fuel that propels through challenges you're dealt<br />
Time changes like a tropical tidepool<br />
Be wise full of curiosity brave not frightful<br />
-----------<br />
Find future's path it's wild expanse<br />
Mice or man might as well lay your plans<br />
Chaos always comes but good fortune too<br />
No matter what you do be true to you<br />
Introspective, a good perspective<br />
Be humble. Be honest. Make corrections<br />
Make a goal, a plan, just a little<br />
Idea seed the Nile lick the spittle<br />
Fruition of the labor savor the work<br />
Produce the loot, happiness go berserk<br />
Take time to rest like a union break<br />
Even if the union is you, you know what's at stake<br />
Come on, your burning the candle<br />
From both ends, Self-Destructive Vandal<br />
Rest, recharge, regroup resurge<br />
Guard your health and heed these words<br />
----------<br />
Lightspeed engage, No. 1 make it so<br />
Blaze to the future through variables<br />
Miraculous happenstance synchronicity<br />
Capricious advance in your Odyssey<br />
Bounty found not often encountered<br />
Resources get scoured when things go sour<br />
Self empowered recover strength much faster<br />
Than idle engines mired in stringy chatter<br />
That's the thing, can't just spin your wheels around<br />
Obstacles bust you down to seek newer ground<br />
Fresh roots, grow to new skies from valleys<br />
With verdant leaves and flowers beyond tallies<br />
Yo these are the words that you manifest<br />
Manufacture the best outcome yes<br />
Dance to the beat, march to your own drum<br />
Every dog has a day in the sun
