Morning Motivation - Jon Connor, Dizzy Wright

The People’s Rapper

Recording live from Flint, Michigan

Where the water is poison but we still prosper

Downtown thriving, still niggas gettin' slaughtered

Can’t stop the hustle, though, still gotta feed our daughters

We make surviving epidemics look easy

Still seem so unbothered, but

You niggas ain’t foolin' me with buffoonery

Dudes as fake as they jewelry, trying to prove

Who’s more wrapped in the cocoon of coonery

Too much truth so they muted me

You confused, but my views and my moves to the ones who stayed in tune bring

comfort like shoes to feet

Too unique, opposition is foolishly fuelin' me

Shit get brutal, now you deceased

I’m just spittin' eulogies to a beat

Reachin' ya like a preacher, just wearin' the swag that suited me

Niggas say they movin' dope

But they movin' keys like computer geeks

I can smell fake, y’all niggas runnin' outta bars like a jailbreak

Niggas say they stackin' chips but got the stale face

Boy, I’m bad like Michael Jackson with the pale face

You got that «nigga, I’m about to take a L» face

Never too complex, but I use my gift to the full extent

Never lose my cool, I don’t live by rules, niggas too content

If another man tell you how to feed your fam, nigga, you’s a bitch

So I got right back on my shit, my nigga, like

Huh!

I don’t win, then I don’t eat;

anytime that I was down

I got right back on my feet, my nigga, like

Huh!

I don’t work, then I don’t eat;

when they thought that I was down

I got right back on my feet, my nigga, like

Huh!

And if we have to do this shit the hard way (hard way)

Just know that I am with the shit all day

Huh!

I don’t win, then I don’t eat;

anytime that I was down

I got right back on my feet, my nigga, like

Yo, y’all not foolin' me, y’all not sucka free

You’re livin' refugee, but we know misery loves company

Never got too comfy, I knew nobody would come for me

My soul glow even when the whole globe is trumpin' me

And I’m on top of the globe, but the goal underneath a gold mine

Y’all cosignin' puppets like Cousin Skee'

Hot and hostile, so nobody is out of reach

Most people fuckin' with the kid if they not asleep

Never overpower my spiritual views

I guess they want me to suggest more illiterate moves

The flesh, the temple, the mental, the signature tools

Knowledge is power and we out here makin' chemistry, fool

I’d be a whole lot bigger if I took that advance

Some niggas died for us just to have a book in our hands

Never fall for it, all for the slow-motion grind

Search for it and find out you had it the whole fuckin' time

Let’s get at it

Huh!

I don’t win, then I don’t eat;

anytime that I was down

I got right back on my feet, my nigga, like

Huh!

I don’t work, then I don’t eat;

when they thought that I was down

I got right back on my feet, my nigga, like

Huh!

And if we have to do this shit the hard way (hard way)

Just know that I am with the shit all day

Huh!

I don’t win, then I don’t eat;

anytime that I was down

I got right back on my feet, my nigga, like

If you don’t like real shit, turn it off right now

I’m from where it’s a 13 year old kid

Gettin' outlined in chalk right now

Shit, let’s cover all the bases, from the dope fiends

To the baseheads, to the teen fiends sippin' codeine

Raised on Ritalin, so they take meds

Now it’s automatic that they turn to addicts

In these rap songs, so they gotta have it

Now they got a long ass rehab bill

'fore they realize they got a habit

Now wait, I’m not tryna win any awards

But we sinkin' in how we thinkin', is everyone on board?

I’m just makin' sure we all connected on one accord

We all cool goin' in debt tryna buy shit that we can’t afford?

You sure?

You sure?

You sure you sure?

Grew up around lost niggas and still ain’t found the allure

We be beefin' on social media, overridin' the fact we poor

We be buyin' Jordans, and barely got enough gas to get to the store

This shit hits to my core, since I was born, this what I’m on

There’s no «picture my aura»

This ain’t a performance, this is a warning, like

Huh!

I don’t win, then I don’t eat;

anytime that I was down

I got right back on my feet, my nigga, like

Huh!

I don’t work, then I don’t eat;

when they thought that I was down

I got right back on my feet, my nigga, like

Huh!

And if we have to do this shit the hard way (hard way)

Just know that I am with the shit all day

Huh!

I don’t win, then I don’t eat;

anytime that I was down

I got right back on my feet, my nigga, like

Huh!
