Juicy

[Verse 1: Jon Connor] Who would have ever knew, I'm doing shit most people said I would never do Said never lose, and now I'm generating revenue I'm from a place where we don't dream, because if you dream That means you sleep, and if you sleep that means you just might not wake up Now check it, impossible was something that we heard often Walking a thin line between life and death can get exhausting Mama cooking chicken, I was playing "It Was Written" I had a vision of spitting with the way that I'm gonna get it Listen how we grew up wasn't the flyest Inspired by what we see on TV because we didn't have enough bread to buy it Excited to go outside and act like the people we admired Fake no limit chain around my neck, you see me shining We bump "Make Em Say Uhh", rolling dice on the corner Nigga make em say uhh, Landon Street raised me The fame will never change me No matter how crazy life seems to be getting for me lately I still ride For the same shit that I always did, maintained the same life that I always lived, same folks that was down when I didn't have a penny Still with me, just know Flint city still in me, I used to read XXL and The Source Now I'm on them same pages, guess natures taking its course My little cousins looking up to me now, used to be chubby or ugly Now light-skinned bitches want to fuck with me now, its kind of crazy how the world turns Wasn't concerned with material, just wanted to read comic books and eat cereal, serious Maybe write a couple rhymes and be respected as a lyricist, and make a difference To the folks who be hearing this, writing rhythms on the porch All the other kids heading to the basketball court, I guess its just a feeling When its in you, don't ignore it, rapping was my passion, its my first and last resort No back and forth, Ive seen a light at the end of the tunnel, as it was caving in Door steady closing, I know I barley made it in, made amends with every obstacle As I was paying dues, I ain't dead and I ain't in jail, and a Flint nigga made the news, what? Somebody lying, nah, what I am is a result of somebody trying I'm from a city where its always somebody crying, and we get numb to the pain Its always somebody dying, its never more than we can handle Ain't got nothing to put up on our mantle Now I'm in the position to be an example They said "you from Flint, you ain't ever gonna blow" Well If you don't know, now you know, nigga
