lyrics

Given atonement
I try to live for the moment
Cause when the good times were good
It's like the kid didn't know it
I chose to peep who were closest
And saw different opponents
I had to sit and get focused
On how I'm fittin to approach this
(Hmmmm)
Most the folks I admire
Been thru some kinda fire
Had to make a way
Around the weisenheimers by desire
Malcolm the Messiah
Left Elijah and them guys conspired
To kill one of the greatest Black leaders
Who need a reminder (Who)
We so separated
They made us some haters
We treat our neighbors like strangers
Though we share the same spaces
And wear the same faces (yup)
Hear the same playlist
And know this racist nation
Will never pay reparations
(Uh uh)
So it's up to us
Can't be a bunch of shmucks
I know it get rough
Gotten toughen up butter cup
Devil wanna dance here's my chance
To do the Humpty Hump
Ima run amuck
Before I be another Brother stuck

Hook

Walk with a swagger
And I talk like a rapper
Ima boss from the Apple
Of New York
(Of New York New York)
Fought when I had ta
And I lost in some matters
Got absorbed by the patterns
Of New York
(Of New York New York)
Caught in the rapture
With thoughts of here after
Will force ya disaster
In New York (NYC)
Gotta walk with a Swagger
Talk like a Rapper
Be a Boss from the Apple
Of New York
(What You thought Nigga?)

Verse 2

Rappers are really facetious
Praying to they Jesus Pieces
While I step in the deepest feces
Forget to clean my sneakers
Still keep it steppin
Reppin like a secret weapon
If I need a reverend
To get in Heaven
Then keep ya blessings
I think I got this
Somewhere I swear
I made a promise
Maybe during Reagonomics
Wait my turn and make a profit
Capitalism
my Nigga that's our religion
Till they stuff us in a box
Like a package of I'm
My girl was her Father's favorite
Seen a sparkle in her eye
As she start to say it
Wish I ca heart this statement
Emoji rap
Yeah that's probably low key wack
Chiropractor
Trying to hold me back
I'm here to get somewhere
Like the fast lane
Pretty sure that will never change
Like my last name
(Trying to tell You)
I been around men of honor
What go around come around
Like Marijuana and Credit Karma

Hook

about

junclassic image

junclassic Queens, New York

junclassic is NOT Your average emcee. His voice is striking, something between the weighted baritone of a Bigge Smalls coupled with the streetwise snarl of a Prodigy. He often speaks in daily life narratives, barely escaping the pitfalls of New York City. Refreshingly candid, jun highlights the emotional burdens of Afrocentric modernity, a middle-aged Black man trying to make it all make sense. ... more
