lyrics
back outside & I’m activated
Do my works & stack the payments
Life wern’t good
So I had to change it
Fixed up
Went back to basics just us now
No time for strangers
Heard the haters
Swerve the pagans
Them meedy man can’t stand the greatness
Can’t dim the glow & that’s the main ting
Got one chance so I have to take it
So I’m back outside & I’m activated
Normal man dump out on a regular
That’s why they study the pattern
& try edging up
Still made bread,when them man dem wasn’t breading is
Stepping up
Every other day day man level up
Am I going to stop?
Not now,if ever bruv.
You already know the flow is stupid
But I’ve never been a dumb yute
I jet do my ting & cut through
So don’t bother ask me what I’m up to
Keep out of big people business
Can’t see me I’m blending
I’m tinted
Two steps ahead at all times
I control what they witness
back outside & I’m activated
Do my works & stack the payments
Life wern’t good
So I had to change it
Fixed up
Went back to basics just us now
No time for strangers
Heard the haters
Swerve the pagans
Them meedy man can’t stand the greatness
Can’t dim the glow & that’s the main ting
Got one chance so I have to take it
So I’m back outside & I’m activated
They tried to stop me
I wasn’t supposed to start
But like a F boy,now I hold all the cards
They had me on the outside I was was going over hard
They didn’t want to shine no light on the works
But that’s calm
Now I just glow in the dark
That’s why they can’t see me anymore
Just like we’ve grown apart
I got blocked & that showed the path
Paid my dues & got over charged
Keep your congratulations
I’m way to real for the fakenes
I kept connecting these dots & clocked
I can’t be here complaining
back outside & I’m activated
Do my works & stack the payments
Life wern’t good
So I had to change it
Fixed up

scene. Since Roll Deep ceased recording as a collective, Manga pursued a forward-thinking sound under a newly adopted identity: Manga Saint Hilare.
Less braggadocios and explicit, more thought provoking and vulnerable - Manga's lyrics carry a powerful message.

Any chance of Side by Side the vocal mix on Bandcamp, please sir? They only place I have that is on Youtubes and it has really bad sound quality. At the moment I'm Side by Siding myself doing all the lyrics myself and my dog is looking at me like I'm daft. I'm a 50 year old man. I should not be acting like this around the house.

You might have had fixing stuff in mind when writing this song but for me, because it doesn't have any lyrics my bars I sing along to it are about making a fisherman's pie. Like a recipe. Has any grime artist ever rhymed 'Dill' with 'Kill' and then 'Thrill', I wonder.
