Born for This |
1986 a star was in the making, |
I had no idea that the world was for the taking. |
Received my education from the television stations, |
My family never had them dinner conversations. |
When they got back from work, you’d see their backs would hurt. |
So I provided laughter, my earliest acting work |
Doing dances, lip-syncing rappers |
Impersonating Michael Jackson and Kung-Fu captions. |
Ha, funny guy, never had the butterflies |
Never shy, every five minutes I would improvise. |
Class clown, had jokes before a peach fuzz, |
Ask around, I was roasting them like peanuts |
Dime bags in middle school, my Walkman |
My life saver through dark days and lost angels |
Fourteen candles when I wrote a sixteen |
For the first time my first rhymes were shitty |
So we practiced, and the homie tracked us |
It attracted mad bitches to the mattress |
Spent more time on my rapping than fractions |
Dropped all my classes |
Cause I was born for this… |
I was born for this (I was born for this) |
Yeah I was born for this (Yeah I was born for this) |
I was born for this (I was born for this) |
Yeah I was born for this |
Damn yo |
Should of heard the corny Jackie Chan jokes |
Thinking they were getting me when they’re 'bout to get handled |
Rambo killin', my crew like Sam Crow |
Crammed seven in a van, man it wasn’t grandiose, nah |
Shows were grassroots |
Before the cash road gas money tours we were sleeping on the floors |
If you saw me and Zo way before then you would know |
We have grown, if we had a chart it’d be a slope |
Going up, up, see the slope going up |
The student became the teacher now the kid blowing up |
Don’t ever leave a mic cold |
Flow when the cameras roll |
Signed that open mic list |
Hunger should have told you this |
Crenshaw or rock a Bar Mitzvah |
Any chance I got was like that and like this ya’ll |
Takes ten years, not ten seconds to lift off |
Stay patient and try not to get pissed cause |
Fifteen year-old Jon would’ve served young’un |
Nineteen year-old Jon would’ve served time |
But Old Boy Jon, man he’s out here having fun |
And the best has yet to come |
I was born for this… |
I was born for this (I was born for this) |
Yeah I was born for this (Yeah I was born for this) |
I was born for this (I was born for this) |
Yeah I was born for this |
