Jon Connor - Don't Wanna Be lyrics
rate meYeah, It's Connor!
Never be taken me for a minute I, minute I
Anyone try to hear me.
They say who is the genius speaking in broken English
Observing behind the curtain, your mind too preoccupied to see it
We're hard headed, thoughts made to see me
The rhyme is on the wall, but we don't read it,
we don't read what we defeat it.
Another rapper like we fucking need it
See this ain't rapping, this is what teach and what I preach,
The reason that I'm breathing
see for them people I would gladly take my last breath
See I got... and ain't no cast left
A 75 that's my address, I'm on the road and I ain't had rest
Hoping that my past steps no ashstress
See I ain' flawless no matter what I am talking
Regardless is the fact that trauma gon' catch
And my ..till I chill with Chris Wallace
When I get to the ... it don't matter what's in my wallet
Look, it's only one of me, so it's gonna be what is gonna be
The person that I truly envy is the one I wanna be!
Chorus:
I don't wanna be anything
(What I want, what I got to be)
I don't wanna be anything
(What I want, what I got to be)
Now what would they take me for?
Now what would they take me for?
See different people got agendas they pretend to see they come in different genders
They befriend us like they feel us like they with us
Then we're asking God for help, and then the test is what he sent us
Then we're saying Lord forgive us cause the truth is always in us
When the... we just hope, we gave directions to a...
Cause we're here to break the spirits that's what...
Living in the... I'll go visit them in prison
Come down to one decision, that's what they...
That's what I ain't giving up, or act like I don't give a fuck
They'll be like bro, hold me down, but I rather pick 'em up!
We tell 'em reach for the stars so I'm trying to...
I keep on slowing them down to the point they end up stuck
I'm attacking the faculty that...
They say I wouldn't b shit watching all this rapping and...
..what the fuck did you want from me?
Now I'm leaving my dream, and I'm exactly where I wanna be!
Wanna be!
Chorus:
I don't wanna be anything
(What I want, what I got to be)
I don't wanna be anything
(What I want, what I got to be)
Now what would they take me for?
Now what would they take me for?
Let's get it clear, we are all one
This world nigga tell me this
What's worst? being one, or being cold one?
Cause if you won, then we would all won
These other races gonna judge me the last time they saw one?
Go grab a mike or a ball, son!
How fucking backwards is that?
Do you know the odds to make it rap
And the chance to make it hoop is even slimmer than that?
You can't do one of the two, your only option is to shoot
When the niggas you look up to on the block is not in the suit
When you're glorifying the ... they got the cops...
When your niggas die, you don't cry, you just salute
Cause death is a badge of honour till death came looking for you!
Reality shows that girls thinking, acting...
When in fact this bitch is an.. that actually foolish you
And we always wanna argue, for...
..point the finger at them, let's point one of us
Wanna be, wanna be
Chorus:
I don't wanna be anything
(What I want, what I got to be)
I don't wanna be anything
(What I want, what I got to be)
Now what would they take me for?
Now what would they take me for?
I've never seen the world taking you down down, taking you down
I've never seen the world taking you down down, taking you down
I've never seen the world taking you down down, taking you down
I've never seen the world taking you down down, taking you down
