Jonah Lyrics by Ethos The Rapper

The Pluto Tapes

2020

[Verse 1]
Spendin' my days findin' a new trail to blaze, findin' a new strain to blaze, worded it that way 'cause I found it's best to paraphrase
I don't wanna make a mistake when I'm about to jailbreak, breakin' free from money prison with all the dough, like bread the musics risen
Shakin' and bakin' the adoration I'm rakin' celebrities are takin' it up on themselves to stay up in my Insta stories, what a story!
A kid from the land in a brand new category and I'm so high up they need an observatory

[Chorus]
Hey Jonah, you just don't understand what I'm about
Yea there's no way out in the belly of the whale, no one can hear you shout

[Verse 2]
Yeah and in the belly of the whale the stomach acid smellin' stale, trust me, totally get if you're aimin' to bail when you're literally livin' a folktale
Reminds me of bein' in jail wish I had that kinda time, yeah and I want to define all the words that you read in the line you can start with divine
Always in pursuit for me and mine that's why I'll minus you if you're not Midas you'll get me to a fever pitch like laryngitis
My circle's the tightest and my burden's the lightest, my light is shinin' brightest and now the daylight's far behind us

[Chorus]
Hey Jonah, you just don't understand what I'm about
Yea there's no way out in the belly of the whale, no one can hear you shout

[Verse 3]
Jonah made his way out of the gut, slimy boy, murdered the whale, climbed on up and rigged a shirt up to catch some headwind from the gale
So he could sail his way back to the shore but the closer to the land he gets the evil only rises and the light dies more and more
Opened up and swallowed away, for the whale I am gourmet, forced to cope with the weight of the gut and that's debated and labeled
But people quick to get to pickin' up the ladle just for over-weighted plates that temporarily make 'em feel elated

[Chorus]
Hey Jonah, you just don't have a clue what life's about
Yea there's no way out of the belly of the whale if you're chasin' clout
Hey Jonah, you just don't understand what I'm about
Yea there's no way out in the belly of the whale, no one can hear you shout

[Verse 4]
Confused him for krill, that's why he didn't use the teeth to kill, a lot of persistence but not a lot of will when he could've snuck out of the gill
And all that effort was for nil, he's in the landfill and you wonder why we all think he's such a buzzkill?
Exhiled from the blowhole like some gaseous pressure that built itself up to a risky lull and at least your life ain't dull, you just keep forgetting
That the pride will always come before the fall and after all, how could you not when you're born into a seat already hot?

[Chorus]
Hey Jonah, you just don't have a clue what life's about
Yea there's no way out of the belly of the whale if you're chasin' clout
Hey Jonah, you just don't understand what I'm about
Yea there's no way out in the belly of the whale, no one can hear you shout
