Come On |
Sit down to watch me here |
And the record comes on called don kennedy |
Something he said really stuck to me He said, «if you don’t know my name by now |
I ain’t working hard enough» |
And I got off the chair and went to my bed |
As I calmed down, the next thing I knew I was out of my head |
Talking to a man with skin soft like carton |
And when the tone so low I had no choice but to listen |
He said, «come on, come on, you know you got something» |
«come on, come on, there’s work to do» |
«come on, come on, don’t make the people wait» |
«come on, come on, get over you, it’s more than you» |
I wallowed in self-pity for too long |
Wanted to be noticed but had nothing going on Longed to be heard, compared myself to others |
Which I know it’s so absurd, still, I found it getting worse |
And that, he said to me, I did to name your art |
Ella fitzgerald for me, I did it for the world to see |
You were in your own league, but you gotta put the work in Focus on your dream |
Come on, come on, you know you got something |
Come on, come on, there’s work to do Come on, come on, don’t make the people wait |
Come on, come on, get over you, it’s more than you |
If you don’t know my name by now, I ain’t working hard |
If you don’t know my name by now, I ain’t working hard |
If you don’t know my name by now, I ain’t working hard enough |
Hard enough |
If you don’t know my name by now, I ain’t working hard |
If you don’t know my name by now, I ain’t working hard |
If you don’t know my name by now, I ain’t working hard enough |
Hard enough |
I see mothers limping home from graveyard shifts |
Shutters rising before the sun |
This is me, I forecast my history embedded on the pages |
My nieces and nephews might read |
I’ve yet to see a reflection with more potential |
Yet I’m circle driven by comparing my successes to others |
Beginners luck |
You couldn’t begin to roam around the kingdom that I plan to construct |
My heart whispers, «come on, come on» |
While standing on a mountain, screaming to a thousand and one |
Hoping that if I change the lives of any then we’ve already begun |
To inspire and light fires in these daughters and sons |
Willing to persevere through pain |
So that one day they might feel the touch of their passion tumbling, embrace |
I was born to be a legend, I say it because I mean it |
I’d rather sound conceited before sounding defeated |
Live forever |
