MANDELA EFFECT Lyrics by ACE ILLY

SINGING TO MYSELF

2021

[Intro: ACE ILLY]
Yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Woah
Nelson mande- (Nelson Mandela)

[Chorus; ACE ILLY]
Nelson Mandela my niggas are stoners
Kwame Nkrumah my niggas are leaders
Don’t talk about GIA he’s the realest
We still on the streets but we are the biggest
Born in the churches but we are the sinners
Back in the zongo, we are the killers
All new friends we are looking for monеy
Gee these niggas are funny (borеd!)

Nelson Mandela my niggas are stoners
Kwame Nkrumah my niggas are leaders
Don’t talk about GIA he’s the realest
We still in the streets  but now we are biggest
Born in the churches but we are the sinners
Back in the zongo, we are the killers
All new friends we are looking for money
Gee these niggas looks funny

[verse 1: YB $tunx)
Shoes too small can't fit my feet
My body abused but my is  mind free
Are you so blind that you cannot see
Pulled up in the streets how we coming with the heat
We feel the pain but when it rains it pours
Why do my bro junior have to die young

Told my mama whole team ain’t gotta die poor
Put a nigga down when we see that he an opp

No time, I’ma take mine
I stay high, can’t stay down
Bitch I’m the plug best friend u just a middle man
I just poured an eight of codeine in a Coca-Cola (pour the codeine)

No time, I’ma take mine
I stay high, can’t stay down

No time, I’ma take mine
I stay high, can’t stay down
Whip too fast give a fuck about the police
It’s Mandela flow like we still in the 90s

I don’t wanna be a killer
I’m tryna get rich
My bills got high
As a bitch heels 
I told myself I ain’t pooping no pills
The youngin', love how I speak that real

Nelson Mandela Mandela
I just sent you a letter

[Chorus: ACE ILLY]
Nelson Mandela my niggas are stoners
Kwame Nkrumah my niggas are leaders
Don’t talk about GIA he’s the realest
Still on the streets but we are the biggest
Born in the churches but we are the sinners
Back in the zongo, we are the killers
All new friends we are looking for money
Gee these niggas are funny  bored!

Nelson Mandela my niggas are stoners
Kwame Nkrumah my niggas are leaders
Don’t talk about GIA he’s the realest
Still on the streets  but now we are biggest
Born in the churches but we are the sinners
Back in the zongo, we are the killers
All new friends we are looking for money
Gee these niggas looks funny

[verse 2: ACE ILLY]
I was born on the 00 I’m having no maa
Smoke too speedy I got too far
High in the clouds my head look dummy
Take your time you know that I’m coming

Thinking bout my money I can’t  be honey
Couldn’t even tell my mom I’m sorry
Love me, Pause she know I’m bored
Big city boy you know where am from

You are big ILLY fan you scared to admit it
I don’t talk bout cash you know that I’m winning
Don’t bet your life on boys, you spinning
I’m stuck in time when I hear you calling

If I die for my brothers I’m a warrior
And the streets really love my preaching
And I hope my Doris could’ve seen this
That gave me pain no feelings

[outro: ACE ILLY]
Nelson Mandela my niggas are stoners
Kwame Nkrumah my niggas are leaders
Don’t talk about GIA he’s the realest
Still on the streets  but now we are biggest
Born in the churches but we are the sinners
Back in the zongo, we are the killers
All new friends we are looking for money
Gee these niggas looks funny
