Make a Meal (Food for Thought) Lyrics by Jason Cole

Audible Mural

2019

[Intro: John Furey as Paul Holt in Friday the 13th Part 2]
"...but I'm gonna give it to you straight about Jason
Five years... five long years he’s been dormant... and he's hungry
Jason's out there... watching... always on the prowl for intruders
Waiting to kill... waiting to devour..."
[Jason Cole]
I don’t know what you want from me, but I don't want to be
Another photocopy of what you think I should be
I could be, but I'm better off my own way
With "better off alone" days. So what, if I get no plays?
I'm in it for the skill, I'm not about to make a mill
It isn't how I get my thrills, besides, the dolla' dolla' kills y’all
I grew up on the right side, the "I don’t fight" side
But damnit I can rock the mic right
I'm not a rapper, I’m really a poet
There just so happened to be a beat behind the poem when I wrote it
Everybody knows it, they express it to me vocally
I'm not a picture perfect image of what a rapper's supposed to be
But what is rap supposed to be?
A lot of people out there tend to forget that it stands for "Rhythm And Poetry"
And just because you have rhythm, doesn't mean you can slack on the second half of the acronym
These bubblegum popstar candy rappers rottin’ minds
I'm only trying to make a meal, and not the kind with dollar signs
Food for thought, nourishment for the crown chakra
But my kind don't belong, I'm a guest en mi own casa
Dead to my alma mater, an author within a coffin
Rebel without a plause, always poppin' off at the noggin'
They're poppin' a couple bottles, makin' dollars in the process
I'm a monster off the radar, yeti swimming in the Loch Ness
And all my network is urban legends, underground phenomenons
Ain't no surfacing without, help from the Necronomicon
Sacred literature is the key to what I've been preachin'
This is music for your soul, not a soundtrack for the weekend
So if I think it, better believe that I'm gonna speak it
I refuse to be silent, or dumb it down for the appeasement
Of a group of people with beliefs I simply don't agree with
No wonder they don't understand the reason that I "Breathe" it
