man, yea, that's my destiny I don't know why the universe felt like blessing me I promise you it doesn't hurt the first time that you scrape your knee Diagnosed autistic, knew there was something different Tried everything in power to try to make a difference Got around the age of 3, worried that you'd never speak Gluten free, CBD, and camel milk, that shit ain't cheap Speach therapy twice a week at special academy He'd stare at me, quietly, hope he ain't mad at me Had to carry him out of Whole Foods over my shoulder He throws a lot of fits ever since he got much older Head butting car doors, holes in the walls all over the house It's like a super power how loud he shouts Cause he's the mani man, I wouldn't trade him for no other man I love you man, you my little man I hope some day

out quiet as a mouse I'll never forget when the cops picked you and Tino up Rolling on your scooters, county road 81, jigs up Had to lock the doors from the inside and hide the key But he always tried to watch me like hide and seek Couldn't keep nothing past him, he was smarter than that He got mad, threw a shoe at the small of my back He eat up all the food in the house, but you can't even tell Bony ass, so skinny, you can tell he was frail Used to drive him crazy when I tried to clip his nails When I tried to cut his hair, he would put me through hell He was very particular, always knew what he wanted Definitely wasn't deaf, when you called his name he responded TV remote hostage in his pocket like an heirloom Took over living room, turned it to his bedroom Cause he's the mani man, I wouldn't trade him for no other man I love you man, cause you mamas fan Some day you'll speak and talk to me like man to woman You're only 10, patiently waiting for you to speak my friend Cause he's the mani man, I wouldn't trade him for no other man I love you man, cause you mamas fan Some day you'll speak and talk to me like man to woman You're only 10, patiently waiting for you to speak my friend I remembered it like this was yesterday The greatest pain of my life, tears of joy all day I love you baby I love everything about you and how you play with your legos I see you making codes with all your play dough I see your talents baby Dressing up your pillows, I'm watching a fashion designer glow I love your ways, don't let your autism stop your growth Cause you're artistic, you fantastic And when you get mad, imma be there to fix it You my mani man, you're my blanket I see your free spirit when you get naked I love you baby Now let me get down to the details about my boy Bright eyes, big smile, my Angel full of joy Though some kids that he annoyed because he didn't like sharing his legos and toys And don't play with his Emit cause he turn to hell boy He a little sneaky One day he went to target and stole some toys Walked out the store, no one stole his joy 200$ worth, riding that scooter right out the door I'm not gonna lie, it was kinda funny He laughed and giggled and wanted some more So he waited the next day to do it once more Grabbed his shoes off the floor and headed for the door He love his mother, his father, his sister and his brother He doesn't speak that much but he ain't no sucka He loves long rides through Minnesota He loves hot coco and warm blankets like no other He loves the beach and how the sun hits in the summer He love playing in dirt, but taking a bath Sometimes he picks a fight with his other half But later on they'll giggle and laugh Running around having a blast I loved it so much, I wouldn't change the past Turn some beautiful memories, I hope they always last I can see you running track cause baby you fast Or be a fashion designer cause I see your swag How about a construction worker just like your dad You know, like Emit, a master builder Or just like Einstein Smart with big headed just like mega mind In the kitchen cooking up pasta, we'll he tries Cleaning up the kitchen is a handful, I'm not gonna lie But it's worth every bit of my time having you by my side Cause you my mani man You mean the world to me baby Let's make your world into beautiful daisies Cause you the mani man I can speak all day about you baby So much to say that's on my mind about you lately How much joy you bring to me daily I get exhausted at times and need a break in my home when bae leave But it's ok But a beautiful seed you
