M.anifest - One night only feat. eLDee the Don by manifestive

If today’s punishing music business requires that one be able to do it all, then we have a winner in Eldee the Don. This guy epitomises the term DIY – making videos, producing and performing, writing lyrics, and a qualified architect to boot. Only a Nigerian!

He didn’t make this tune though. Produced by G Mo, this one’s by a favourite MC of ours, Ghanaian lyricist M.anifest, with Eldee on the performing team. It’s a fun number with a hook that good radio will find hard to resist.

LYRICS

Intro
A-yo
i'm in time for just one night, i'm out here for one night only x2

Verse 1

I’ll give her the time of her life, the timing is right
There’s only one catch, I gotta catch flight
Next day GH to SA, no use for excuses or drunken essays
Inquisitive she say “ei you be like them?”
Gives me x’s and o’s on bbm
Dudes in the new BM she don’t see them
She heard I played in paris with les Nubians
(huh) So she wan see feeli feeli
Obasima ohemaa touchy feely
Yes indeedy lie-lie-lie-lie-life dey jom
Young troubadour travel more singing my songs
Taste of my melanin medicine is addictive
One night affair to be realistic
No strings attached its cordless
What matters in our matters is in the chorus, so sing the chorus
Ay-yo

Hook

I tried to warn u, that once u taste it u can’t let it go
It’s all in your mind. Some love affair but u already know
I’m in town for just one night, I’m out here for one night only x3
I’m in town for just one night, just one night

Verse2

I just come pass, I dey come go
Sweetie I dey lef town, early morrow
Time be money, we all laborrow
You can have all or nothing, bibia kotow
Forbidden fruit sweetie e dey sweet oh
But later the heart pays a price, lampo
Lampo, onya ka ob3 ware me mmm dondo
I dey lef morrow ayeforoo’s a no go
My kinky making her happy
tho' I don’t know her moms she calling me daddy
in that case well papa is a rolling stone
by popular demand travel and performing my poems
might leave in a hurry, sorry
but leave you with memories, a crazy ass story
desire’s strong can’t be wrong its right
if time is currency then she spending the night, right
Ay-yo

Hook

I tried to warn u, that once u taste it u can’t let it go
It’s all in your mind. Some love affair but u already know
I’m in town for just one night, I’m out here for one night only x3
I’m in town for just one night, just one night

Bridge:
