The Manifesto Lyrics English Translation by Gorillaz
(feat. Trueno, Proof)
I don’t know what’s gonna happen tomorrow
When I answer the light that’s calling me
Mommy, my future is demanding me
I walk towards the light
I have nothing to lose
I crossed the door and today I feel free
I left the past behind and focused on the simple things
Just give me twenty-one grams to feel steady
And I’ll leave you my legacy, before I go
Every step a lesson, I move forward with confidence, so fast that time can’t keep up
I’m not looking for praise, much less false hopes, just rest
Like when you were in the womb
And wake up, take charge of the matter
To be able to look at life from different angles
I wonder, what will be in that world that comes after this world?
The good thing is we’re all going together
I go with my values, I also bloom by watering the flowers
I take the scents and the colors with me
I make the sky fall in love and if the clouds cry, let them not cry
I have the trees as my teachers
I love to feel the wind, to climb the mountain breathless
In the end, what matters is the attempt
Only my deeds, my virtue, and my feeling accompany me
To write part two of the story
I don’t know what’s gonna happen tomorrow (I don’t know, I don’t know)
When I answer the light that’s calling me (That’s calling me)
Mommy, my future is demanding me (Yes, yes, yes)
I walk towards the light (I walk, I walk, huh, yeah)
I have nothing to lose (I walk towards the light ma, I walk, I walk towards the light ma)
The mountain it is high
Yeah, the mountain is sad so the mountain cry
Tin god
The braided day
But the mountain stays on still
Don’t lose yourself
If you don’t stop now then you’ll never going to be done
Living under your gilded sun
On the mountain
It’s the TR1
Huh, yeah, with Gori— with Gorillaz, yeah
From England to Argentina
The mountain it is high
Yeah, the mountain is sad so the mountain cry
Tin god
The braided day
But the mountain stays on still
Don’t lose yourself
If you don’t stop now then you’ll never going to be done
Living under your gilded sun
On the mountain
(Oh-oh-oh-okay)
(Hahahahaha)
You never seen a killer with fangs
And millimetres that bang and killers need to be swangin’
And still I reach ya
You aren’t ready for death until I showed up
Hold breath until you blow the one set
My niggas throw up
How many times I gotta prove
Ya’ll not to test me, this uz
Can be deadly slugs, move
Through your chest piece
It’s all reality
Beefin’ with your blocks
That you’re creepin’ with your glock
Now you sleepin’ in a box
No one can convince the invincible
To be sensible
It’s in the principal
My pistol won’t miss you all
Why shouldn’t I diss you, dawg? I’m Leatherface
This E&J make me say your DNA’s genetic waste
A medic case that’ll detonate, Dirty Harry
A pathetic taste, a shroomhead that murder fairies
A recovering heroin addict, looking down the barrel with my peerman’s eye
I got this shotgun just swerving at it
My triggers have turned a pump, into a uzi
You chumps do not move me, ya’ll jump inside movies
Yeah, scary dudes
That hide behind ya niggas
Confide inside a squealer
And died beneath a river
My urban strikes a lot
(Oh, I’m just fuckin— alright, come on, let’s go)
Let it go
Let it go
Let it go
Huh, huh, yeah
I come in breaking down the door
Here we have no fear, we’re making our way around
I pass through such portals that kill mortals, tell them the world is blowing up
(Ti-ti-ti) The tectonic plates shake, the harmonica sounds, the accounts are settled
TR1 removes your blindfold so you can see that reality is not for sale (boom)
I keep looking for the end of the tunnel, I look for that light that ultimately unites us
Only the good ones are the ones who rise, souls levitating like the volume
Just one more in the school of fish, I look for peace, every Monday
I’m one of those who assume their lie of what they breathe when there’s no perfume
(Move 37, game over)
You’re not alone, you’re not alone, you’re not even close
You’re open, then you’re closed, then you’re open
You’re not alone, you’re not alone, you’re not even close
You’re true, then you’re untrue, then you’re true again
Only automatic now (now, now, now, now)
Only automatic now (now, now, now, now)
Only automatic now (now, now, now, now)
Only automatic now (now, now, now, now)
Slow release pills
You take them today
You take them for tomorrow (Only automatic now now, now, now, now)
You take them for tomorrow (Only automatic now now, now, now, now)
Only automatic now (now, now, now, now)
Only automatic now (now, now, now, now)
