[Intro]
Yo, it's the people's rapper, Jon Connor
My new project, SOS, out now
Get it
[Chorus]
I don't walk around with my head down
I just pick it up and keep on going
My enemies would love to see me doubt myself
So even if I did, I'd never show it
They hoping that this journey leave me broken
Hell naw, not even for a moment
The past is just one chapter and I closed it
I didn't ask to walk this path, I was chosen
And every time a weapon's formed against me
Inside of me something new has awoken
[Clip]
Come with me
Forgive yourself, you don't owe these people any more
You've given them everything
Not everything, not yet...
[Verse]
Look, black folks killing black folks, it's an ugly cycle
They don't really care about us, I ride around bumping Michael
Fuck the industry, I don't fuck with people that feel entitled
Third eye train for survival wire-proof, read the bible
Trade your soul for riches, got industry bitches suicidal
Still thinking they ain't pretty with bigger titties, college and lipo
Since the imposition, the intent go to college and die bro
Or the alternative, don't go to college and die broke
I gain clarity through good will, sincerity
My time in California was pill addiction and therapy
A million n**gas around me and still nobody was there for me
Could give a fuck about me as long as they living here for free
Watch a n**gas motives unfold, a lack of empathy
Show me that, your current friends is your further enemies
Look at me, being naive, talking peace and the dinner thieves
Never phone and watch God bless you, like you finna sneeze
Momma wake up telling me shit that God showed her in her sleep
Only one thing in this life can beat me, and that's me
Defeating fuck n**gas is just enhancing my energy
And the more they try to stop me, it's just unlocking in my inner chi
Inner peace is just the key to unlocking my inner beast
Snakes know what they doing, I see them moving like centipedes
I tend to see that jealousy's a disease with no remedy
And envy turn a scrap to a killing, scream y'all ain't feeling me
Born in the ghetto where n**gas is hustling dope, trying to come up and find a new level
No opportunity usually when n**gas gotta eat so they make deals with the devil
Wanna do better, they putting forth the effort, trying to get out, but the system won't let them
Highway to hell, and I feel like we born one foot in the grave and one foot on the petal
Fast money don't last, long money don't brag, chick say they need bags, when they really need dads, what I can teach you is class
See they testing my faith, ain't no test I can't ace, rest in peace to Nip Hussle
That's just fuel to my case, reinvesting my race, homie that's the template
Feel like Kunta Kinte, feel like n**gas get bread to hide the fact they been fake, feel like Dr. Strange saying this the endgame
I don't stress, I vibrate, elevation my state, that the chronic crime rate
Managers manifest more money than that little 9-to-5 make
I'm trying to ??, I need a queen to get the key to my safe
N**gas know that them key that you got make them throw away the keys on your case
Why we glorify death? Don't appreciate life, don't go stand up for what's right
Until we laid the fuck out, about to walk to that light
Look, I seen it with murderers ?? music and mommas that's crying for ? at the funeral
We don't be trippicle, we so used to it that we done got numb man, it's business as usual
We wasn't born with examples, the n**gas with jobs that got suits and they sit in the cubical
We around n**gas that suit up to shoot at you, little girl catch a shot while she hula hooping
None of this new to you, ain't no compassion so you just imagine what n**gas would do to you
Wasn't no guidance provided, there wasn't enlightenment, so n**gas decided to shoot at you
I'm just trying to awake something new in you
What you watching is something that few would do
Get out of the hood and come back and give n**gas game and do more than they would do for you
My pedigree silent as a rock, I'm changing the game on you petty ass [Judy Bloom's?]
See that's the strategy, when failure's your mentality all you can do is lose
Look inside of yourself and please don't let nobody else tell you've got some shit to prove
Never judge another man, unless you wanna be judged, because you ain't been in his shoes
Time to wake n**gas up and they hitting snooze
The industry crown only fit for fools
I'ma murder this shit until it hit the news
In alignment with what I was sent to do
Ain't nobody better than nobody, I learned that when I found the preacher was sinning too
Focus on happiness homie...
Everything else is just minuscule
Ain't nobody mindful, folks done got too prideful
It ain't enough to have a down ass queen on our team, we need one on the side too
And that will divide you, ain't no way to hide truth, don't let lies define you
That's the challenge, life is balanced, the universe will let karma find you
This song, hope it hits home, get y'all adrenaline going
Gotta switch up cause we been wrong, hope the frequency is coming in strong
This the shit I been on, I base if I fuck with you on quality and character, not on race or your skin tone
The goal is to win and then put your friends home
Build a strong team and y'all celebrate in the end zone
Slowed it back down to make sure the message don't miss you, makes sure that it hits you, like infrared on the pistol
With me, it ain't about race
I don't like racist white folks like I don't like fake n**gas that clout chase
How shit going now, I just hope we do an about face
This life a war zone and I pray that we make it out safe
Yeah
[Outro]
Y'all made it to the end, good shit
SOS out now, get it
