Beacon Songtext
von Jonwayne

Call me the twenty-seventh character
Step foot upon the scene like it′s the end of an era
Me? I never been better, new recruit, big suit
Inhale smoke and blow out nebulas
Just like the candles on the birthday cake
These lights goin' out, sons runnin′ their mouth
Collapsin' lungs like the universe does, so bring 'em out
I′m rappin′ 'til I ain′t got nothin' to rap about
Or end up like my people who sleepin′ up in the ground
But I know that the peace up in the cloud
Is keepin' me from givin′ this up or tappin' out
So you ain't trippin′ me up from flappin′ your mouth For the conscious, livin' like the Loch Ness
Ridin′ Cerberus back usin' my veins as a harness
I had a deal with the devil from way back that read
"If he showed his fuckin′ face, I'd be givin′ him hands"
Really, what is sicker than man
Feedin' from the garden 'til his ticker is jammed
Hopin′ the legacy stands
But all he could do was write his initials with a stick in the sand
You could give him a hand
But the greatest thing you could do is
Live life without givin′ a damn, right?


Wrong
How many people will be peepin' the song
And like me, are feelin′ like they didn't belong?
Who hand-built the path that they′re currently on
By uprootin' the truth and killin′ the long con?
See, I gave up the goose and now I'm Gucci
Yeah, I gave up the juice and now I'm juicy
I had to balance my energy like allowance
Keep my feet upon the ground while
My head was in the heavens, brethren
That′s the life of a go-getter
Make letters in my head, twistin′ up the poinsettia
I'm gettin′ high off the nature of the rhyme
I'm a nation in my mind, I′m a major in my prime
I'm elated, rockin′ over drums like a native
Just to feel a bit closer to my spaceship
Yeah, not everything is so bad inside my cadence
I can't forget my brothers are Abel and Cain and
Can you speak my language? I flip the lengua
And reach my hand out to those who have been with hatred
I'll make a beacon with my fingers like Mavis
I know they know it but dammit, they need to see this
