Jonwayne – Beacon lyrics

Call me the 27th character
Step foot upon the scene
Like its the end of an era
Me, I've never been better
New recruit, big suit
Inhale smoke and blow out nebulas
Just like the candles on the birthday cake
These lights going out
Sons running their mouth
Collapsing lungs like the universe does
So bring em out
I rap until I ain't got nothing to rap about
Or end up like my people who sleeping
Up in the ground
But I know that the peace up in the cloud
Is keeping me from giving this up or tapping out
So you ain't tripping me up
From flapping your mouth

Through the conscience
Living like the Loch Ness
Riding Cerberus' back
Using my veins as a harness
I had a deal with the Devil from way back
That read; If he show'd his
Fucking face i'd be giving him hands
Really what is sicker than man
Feed him from the garden
Till his ticker is jammed
Hoping the legacy stands
But all he could do
Was write his initials
With a stick in the sand
You could give him a hand
But the greatest thing
You could do
Is live life without giving a damn
Right?

Wrong
How many people will be peeping this song
And like me
Are feeling like they didn't belong
Who hand-built the path that they're currently on
By uprooting the truth
And killing the long con
See I gave up the goose
So now I'm Gucci
Yeah I gave up the juice and now i'm Juicy

I had to balance my energy
Like allowance
Keep my feet up on the ground
While my head was in the heavens
Brethren
That's the life of a go-getter
Make letters in my head
Twisting up the poinsettia

I'm getting high off the nature of the rhyme
I'm a nation in my mind
I'm a major in my prime
I'm elated

Rocking over drums like a native
Just to feel a bit closer to my spaceship
Yeah not everything is so bad inside my cadence
I can forget my brothers that are Able and Cane-ing

Can you speak my language
I flip the lengua
Reach my hand out to those gripping me with hatred
I'll make a beacon with my fingers like Mavis
I know they know it
But dammit they need to say this
