Kennedy Jones don't rap
You know those times
Just get inspired
You hear some, some hotness like this
Like this Gramatik instrumental
You just wanna drop some truth
Well here it is
Gramatik, Kennedy Jones
Grammatically I can speak infetecly about the mortar tragedy
And when I tell the truth they getting mad at me
Empty handed leading couldn't stand to be a family
Watching ma switch sided, like I was watching Vanity
This ain't no fake news no nothing's trumping Kennedy
I keep my head strong while I'm replenishing this energy
I've been in Venice Beach and they who knew better speech
They'll try to erase the people in the streets to get 'em of the leach
These days it's all retweets and likes
Twitter, favorites and likes flashing when you walking by
What questions you asking when you wanna vibe?
Is it about the people or the feeling inside when your phone jive?
Blowing up 'cause you just post some fire
Know enough to see through the lies and post by the hype
If I'm ever by the mic I'll rip in to puzzle pieces
When completed would spell out the word "truth" by design
And by the time you hit rewind over a thousand times
Tryna decide for my last line over a thousand miles
I've done the same to Hunger Games, in lyrics I be winning it
Taking over districts, my appetite is infinite
I just post a preview of this track up on the Internet
Within two minutes phones going off but I ain't finished yet
Keeping exclusive focus for this message I'm delivering
To you this is just music, but to me I am living it
There's no reason for the lies yo
There's no reason that we can't out grow
There's a reason for the lies yo
(There's a reason for the lies yo)
There's no reason for the lies yo
There's no reason that we can't out grow
There's a reason for the lies yo
(Lies yo)
The reason I can find to front who I really am
Take a glimpse into the spirit you'll find what's really planned
At the heart of every individual upon the planet
Keep it real when I'm on stage or when I'm chilling with my fans
There's a reason I don't push a hundred thousand dollar whip
I don't need to stall on anyone to know that I'm a Crip
With the heart as so replaced by no material or cereal
Villain drilling holes to an egotistic sillain
That's why it's chin high, little finger to the pessimist
'Cause life's a journey not a race so spit the living testament
Everybody wanna shine until they get the best of every life
A humans side goes away if you invested it
Showing love to the ones who hold you down no matter what
Never let the money change you and always walk the walk
Mentally I'm growing into what I'm mean to be
And never let my status establish a partaking for thoughts
There's no reason for the lies yo
There's no reason that we can't out grow
There's a reason for the lies yo
(There's a reason for the lies yo)
There's no reason for the lies yo
There's no reason that we can't out grow
There's a reason for the lies yo
(Lies yo)
