lyrics

There’s always struggle.
There’s always pain.
But after the tears
Comes the laughter…

i know how it feel to wake up to a pay cut
staring at the Brinks truck like you got the thing tucked
former years more to share than Norman Lear
before you were aware that the game ain’t even sort of fair
you over the edge and they still pushin
all up in ya grill why they still looking?
you trying not to pledge ya whole life to destroying em
get squeezed on like accordions
and once ya do jun ya through
everybody looking at you like “ya knew”
what Red said in Shawshank
one mistake of violence
nothing but all the time in the world to think about it
that scenario is just a sample but i looped it
and music is Ruthless ain’t Easy to do this
an atheist will thank God for a little hope
holding on so long ya neck forget the rope

hook 1

Joy and the pain
score cause it pour when it rain
floor getting more of a stain
all of the lames gon be calling you names
nothing but a thing homie
water on the brain
Joy and the pain
score cause it pour when it rain
floor getting more of a stain
all of the lames gon be calling you names
nothing but a thing homie
water on the brain

Verse 2

Crunch time
jun to the front line
“jun!”
battle with the shadows like sunshine
grew up getting harassed by one time
dreams of being in The Source unsigned
hype
smoke heavy i don’t bud light
getting money
when Nas only needed one mic
i ca take you back to the 50 cent dutch
5 heads trying to ante up for one blunt
open air drug markets
enough smoke to start a bud forrest
cops come they yell “run Forrest!”
sad getting bagged is a badge of honor
come home
to the throne like you smashed Rihanna
i ain’t trying to start nothin’
i just calmly
reach for the big bark and start something
on the low i been training 30 weeks now
Deff Cutz instrumental for your beat down

hook 2

Joy and the pain
score cause it pour when it rain
floor getting more of a stain
all of the lames gon be calling you names
nothing but a thing homie
water on the brain
Joy and the pain
score cause it pour when it rain
floor getting more of a stain
all of the lames gon be calling you names
nothing but a thing homie
water on the brain

about

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
