Started as a child
I just wanna make my momma and my grandma proud
Never would have envisioned that the scribbles that I was writing
In my kitchen would eventually catch up with me now
Meaning, I done been through hell, saw my friends turn to demons transformed
Wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't see it
n***as say they love you long as love mean manipulation
Jealousy of Jon Connor make them hate Jon Freeman
What am I to do when it's them not me that can't separate the two
When everyone changing making plans for when you famous
And everybody saying boy you better stay you
I better stay me sh** you better stay you
I ain't ever had a problem with the person in the mirror
Now my grandma gone and I still kept going
Got nerve saying Connor don't lose your soul
Like I need a f**ing reason
Hol' up I don't need a reason
It go hard on these rap n***as I don't need a reason
It go hard on these wack n***as I don't need a reason
Lose my mind n***a I don't need a reason
Lose my mind n***a don't give me a reason
It go hard on these rap n***as don't give me a reason
It go hard on these wack n***as don't give me a reason
k** your favourite rap n***a don't give me a reason
Is it fair? I done got up, I done pay dues
Made a living at not giving a f**
I'd have been broke on my a** and I don't give up
Gave my all when it seemed my all ain't enough
I don't need a reason, hol' up, I don't need a reason
It go hard on these rap n***as don't give me a reason
It go hard on these wack n***as don't give me a reason
k** your favourite rap n***a I don't need a reason
Look, D Monny homicide still kept rapping
Best friend suicide still kept rapping
Lil' cousin car crash they don't know what happen
So how you motherf**ers gonna tell me about pa**ion
How you gonna tell me what should motivate me
When my motive for doing music always motivate me daily
When I look around and I don't see nobody that was there from the beginning
In my room crying like a f**ing baby
Do you know what that feel like?
All this sh** that I'm saying is my real life
Got stabbed in the back and don't know how to act
Cos my war wounds ain't heal right
I gotta answer to god I don't answer to y'all
f** n***as specially n***as hating on blogs
f** a magazine f** a review
Like a need an excuse to do what I gotta do
n***a I don't need a motherf**ing reason
Hol' up I don't need a reason
It go hard on these rap n***as I don't need a reason
It go hard on these wack n***as I don't need a reason
Lose my mind n***a I don't need a reason
Lose my mind n***a don't give me a reason
It go hard on these rap n***as don't give me a reason
It go hard on these wack n***as don't give me a reason
k** your favourite rap n***a don't give me a reason
Performing in, hole in the walls
With bullet holes in the walls
Don't know if I'll make it clapped or get a round of applause
I'm in the club hood n***as looking at me funny like he ain't a trap n***a
But they can see he was hungry huh?, ain't sleeping ain't eating
Ain't doing a goddamn thing but my thing
Hol' up real n***a I'll remind them of the nineties
April 1985 my spirit jumping out of my body oh sh**
Every night I'm down on my knees
Every night I'm saying god please
Help me to warn these n***as
If they ever question my drive they don't really know me
Been through more than a n***a could imagine
Pissing on a n***a would never get a reaction
They was pissing on a n***a but they wasn't even a distraction
The time I spend on haters they don't add up to a fraction, gone!
Hol' up I don't need a reason, it go hard on these rap n***as
It go hard on these wack n***as I don't need a reason
I don't need a reason, lose my mind n***a
It go hard on these rap n***as don't give me a reason
It go hard on these wack n***as don't give me a reason
k** your favourite rap n***a don't give me a reason
