Great Lyrics by Jon Harris

2022

[Verse 1]
I was...
Cut from a different cloth, the last of a dying breed
The fabric's been discontinued, the last is inside of me
Leaving you speechless and feeling asthmatic when it's time to breathe
How I could take your breath away with lightning speed
Any rapper who thinks they're smoking me must be smoking rocks
They're the type that when their music drops they hope it knocks
But not me. I never use the fact the sex sells to set sales
I've always been the type to think outside the box
Always been good at math, never been a numbers guy
Guess I never gave a fuck but now that I'm under fire
It's no wonder why when my shit drops every fucking time
My haters looking at the views hoping the numbers lie
But they don't bitch, the real difference between you and i
Is that you take your shit for granted while I take my time
To fall in love with it, I want a hit, you wanna hit
But you just want a bitch we both want something to get behind

[Chorus]
I'd put the world on my back and hope it doesn't break
I'd feel the weight of the world on my shoulders every day
I'd always go hard for the work that never seems to pay
If that's what it takes to be great, get to know me
You miss 100% of the shots you never take
I'm down to die for what I believe in for heaven sake
And I've always believed that one day Imma be great
For that I'll do whatever it takes, can you relate?

[Verse 2]
I had to take a break for my rap's sake
Just know I was never gon' stop like I had bad brakes
But holy cow, looking and rap right now
Reminds me how much you need me to speak freely, given what's at stake
This genre seemed collapse purpose, it turned into a rap circus
Filled with clowns who are nothing but liars
Shit all we have is fucking suppliers that's watching rap burn to the ground
But still will sell you nothing but fire
There's so much going on in this world sometimes it's hard to keep up
But I'm the bad guy for trying to speak up
Constantly telling me to shut up and stick to music (what?)
Well guess what bitch, now you gotta listen to it!
I refuse to be silenced, I used to be silent
Me dying from speaking up is a future I'm fine with
Cause even with laryngitis Imma speak the truth
And that came from the horse's mouth, the same one that I use to rhyme with

[Chorus]
I'd put the world on my back and hope it doesn't break
I'd feel the weight of the world on my shoulders every day
I'd always go hard for the work that never seems to pay
If that's what it takes to be great, get to know me
You miss 100% of the shots you never take
I'm down to die for what I believe in for heaven sake
And I've always believed that one day Imma be great
For that I'll do whatever it takes, can you relate?

[Ending]
Life ain't a race but I still feel like I'm on the run
I still believe in superheroes is that saying something?
I'm always trying to save the world, does that make me one?
Or am I too naive to see that it just makes me dumb?
Am I too naive to think that I can change their minds?
My dollar and my dream could change the world with just my rhymes
I'm trying to play my part before we pay the fine
I wonder if it's working, or just wasting time?

...I guess I'll know in time

...We'll all know in time

...More to come
