But not towards my school, yeah

Manando was gangsta, man, he was no wankster

Big homie was my dude, yeah

Bekengazwani namasimba

He taught me how to play marimba

He was real, wasn't no pretender

Beat your whole squad up, he had no contender

Lose a tooth if you talkin' the foolery

He fucked 'em up when them would bully me

Make you say sorry, then take all your jewelry

Rappers think they gangsta, that is not new to me

A **** tried to steal his Blazer

Pussy **** brought it back later

Rob some ****, then pass me the paper

Just so I can get a haircut

It was after school when they pulled up

They tried to run up on the school bus

Manando, the savior, he took off his blazer

Damn, my **** too nuts

I'm proud to say, he fuck 'em all up

He did it for all us

He hella crazy, but it's all love

He said I'ma grind till we all up

That's Manando

They say I'm illuminati, blame me the next day

And I figured it out, some of my friends fake

I pray on my own, you will never hear me sayin', let's pray

Now back to Manando, we be at the bondo

My ****, the warrior

Akanavalo

He packin' that heat, he runnin' the streets

He rock Ferragamo, no regular steez

Friends with the police

He postin' up, and he make the rules

He told me that I'm gonna make it too

He's not the **** that you make a fool

One day I saw him tryna pack a tool

He told me some **** was lookin' for him

Not the police in their uniform

He MIA, and he layin' low

If you need anything, ntwana, say so

****, why you callin' from a pay phone?

Your brother told me you ain't stayin' home

A week or two went by

They told me homie just died

It hurts to see his mama now
