Manolo Lyrics
Yessir
GAWVI, get 'em
Why we do it?
Why we do it?
[Chorus: GAWVI]
I do it for the turn-up (Yeah, yeah!)
Got that ammo locked and loaded (Buck-buck, brrt!)
I ain't talking bout no burner (Ooh, ooh, ooh!)
Flip a page, I'll explode it
Got a cabin in manolo (Nolo), manolo (Nolo)
Manolo (Nolo), manolo
Got a cabin in manolo (Nolo), manolo (Nolo)
Manolo (Nolo) manolo
Got a cabin in manolo
[Verse 1: Trip Lee]
Trying to tell them boys, I never leave the crib alone
'Cause I keep one in my car and I got two at home
They diff'rent kinds but they do the same thing
Double-edged double-barrel- bang, bang (Yessuh)
I’m out here facin' dragons, I ain’t out my mind (Bang, bang)
They comin' for my soul, so it’s 'bout that time (Bang, bang)
Them lies, they trying to kill me, if you don't believe me (Ugh)
I don't care, I don't care, I can't take it easy
I’m flippin' the page, I’m trigger-happy, a clip in the gauge (Brrat-brrat!)
Clickin' and hittin' the stage, hit you with truth that's in every phrase (Brrat-brrat!)
He cut me deep, I'm divin' in, divin' in (Yeah)
When I ride I gotta (Fly-fly), come alive again
Woo, that's right
(When I ride, I got to come-come alive again) You know we got it
(Come alive again) Uh huh (Come alive again), Manolo, mane
(When I-when I ride, I got to come-)
I do it for the turn-up (Yeah, yeah!)
Got that ammo locked and loaded (Buck-buck, brrt!)
I ain't talking bout no burner (Ooh, ooh, ooh!)
Flip a page, I'll explode it
Got a cabin in manolo (Nolo), manolo (Nolo)
Manolo (Nolo), manolo
Got a cabin in manolo (Nolo), manolo (Nolo)
Manolo (Nolo) manolo
Got a cabin in manolo
[Verse 2: Lecrae]
Yeah
Manolo, manolo, I’m out here going postal
My partnas think I lost it, my momma think I'm loco
I keep my shooter close, though, you know it's fully automatic (Bang!)
Shoot you straight, man that truth'll do you plenty damage, ugh
I got enemies, I can't see 'em all but they lurkin' (Lurkin', lurkin')
I flip that page on 'em, my trigger-finger stay workin (Pop-pop-pop!)
I got plenty ammo got old and new, they both testify (My Lord)
And ain't nobody playin' with you, gon' mess around, and come test the fire (Ugh)
And I ain't gotta say no more, I'm gonna click-click-bang and the thing gon' blow
Red Letters like a red dot on yo dome (Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep), all y'all gone
With a dash on the backseat, that's me with a clip full of black ink
I'ma hit y'all with it till I split y'all with it, man down, man down, had a bad week, bad week
Man down, man down, man down, man down
Man down, man down, man down, had a bad week
Man down, man down, man down, man down
Man down, man down, man down, had a bad week
[Chorus: GAWVI]
I do it for the turn-up (Yeah, yeah!)
Got that ammo locked and loaded (Buck-buck, brrt!)
I ain't talking bout no burner (Ooh, ooh, ooh!)
Flip a page, I'll explode it
Got a cabin in manolo (Nolo), manolo (Nolo)
Manolo (Nolo), manolo
Got a cabin in manolo (Nolo), manolo (Nolo)
Manolo (Nolo) manolo
Got a cabin in manolo
[Verse 3: Trip Lee]
I be- I be
I be a sheep, I'm a dummy, sometimes, it ain't even funny
Them lies are sicker than poison while the truth that is sweeter than honey
And we know that He got us, He is with us can't block us; Ibaka
And we fighting the lies 'cause His word is my weapon, it's going Brr-aat!
[Chorus: GAWVI]
I do it for the turn-up (Yeah, yeah!)
Got that ammo locked and loaded (Buck-buck, brrt!)
I ain't talking bout no burner (Ooh, ooh, ooh!)
Flip a page, I'll explode it
Got a cabin in manolo
About
This song is primarily about comparing the Bible, the unchangeable Word of God Himself, to a firearm – a weapon that can be used offensively and defensively on a daily basis to change the world for the greater good.
The name Manolo is a variant Spanish translation of the name “Emmanuel” meaning “God with us.” This song is about the reassurance God gives us through His Word, something that we can actually use to change the world around us for His will.

The name Manolo also implies a “high life” of wealth and fame, and the artists admit in the song that, not only are there critics out there that are trying to bring them down if they slip up, but they are also admitting that they are normal sinful individuals as any human is, and they must regularly stay in the Word of God if they want to be protected and continue to serve Christ.
This song can also be perceived as looking at spiritual warfare, which is also connected to Trip’s song War.
Q&A
Find answers to frequently asked questions about the song and explore its deeper meaning
Manolo means “God is with us.” The funny story with that song is we were just like mumbling stuff in the booth and it sounded dope on the track. So Gawvi was like, “nuh nuh nuh nuh Manolo.” We were like, “dang, I wonder if Manolo’s a real place.” It sounds like an Italian city or something. So we looked it up and we found out it means “God is with us.” We were like, “Oh snap.” So we kept that “Manolo”. Then kind of the rest of the hook, the rest of the song we talk about fighting lies with truth and a lot of weapon imagery in there, talking about the truth is a weapon you fight lies with. It’s a fun joint. Lecrae killed it. Loved his verse on there and I think, we put that song out yesterday or the day before and people have been wilin so I’m glad people love it. I thought they would. – HipHopDX
