MAGNIFICENT - U2

Tonight I will be magnificent
I will be better than I've ever been...
I will be free
I will shine bright, reflect the limelight
Do it like this is my last time, I will be ME
Can you see me?...standing in front of the crowd with the sound that resounds like thunder?
Make 'em so proud when I rock loud
'cause I shut 'em down and make MCs wonder
How I can do it like this at any given time
Give me 16 bars I get in your mind..
Look and you will find... that I'm nothing more than a messenger thats BLESSED with the gift of rhyme..
I stay on my grind
Trying to find my treasure
Diamonds form under pressure!
Spit it so clear make 'em all get the picture
Nothing like spittin' for those who really get ya

(Hook)
Tonight I will be magnificent
I will be better than I've ever been...
I will amaze me true to myself they can't change me
I will be.. hip-hop ya don't stop!
I will be.. I will be.. I will be...
Sitting on the edge of a dream
And I'm always THIS close
I've been rocking mics up and down the East coast, done ... radio shows
Been an open mic host
I once even warmed up the crowd for most but... none of that matters when you still punching in taking calls
And when it all falls... down
I'm left wondering where the fire went
And how to get it back into my environment
Cuz right now I'm living for retirement
I've been doing it so long and I'm still aspiring
Time's movin', looking at the clock 'cause it ain't enough to be the dopest MC on the block
I need more of it
I give you all of me with no frontin'
I need ya'll to love it...and even if you don't I'm still coming
Fall for anything if you don't stand for something!
Tonight I will be magnificent
I will be better than I've ever been...
I will amaze me true to myself they can't change me
I will be.. hip-hop ya don't stop!
I will be.. I will be.. I will be...
I change what I can and things I control
The rest of this ..ish - I just let it roll
Say good bye to the girl with the stagnated flow
I only make music that's good for my soul
On a roll so
Ain't no stopping me now
I've been through the struggle, I haven't forgotten my trial
From my childhood to grandma's death, it's been wild but you never know it 'cause I never show it when I smile
Pray for tomorrow... and I hope that it comes
And if I do wake Imma take it and run
Give you this song while I write the other one
While I'm sitting here waiting for my change to come... you see
I spit it till it's hard to breathe
Like it's just you and me
Wear my heart on my sleeve
That's the mark of a true emcee it's just me
Bigger than Dynasty it's D. Maria E...
Tonight I will be magnificent
I will be better than I've ever been...
I will amaze me true to myself they can't change me
I will be.. hip-hop ya don't stop! (stop...)
I will be.. I will be.. I will be... I will be MAGNIFICENT!
