Testo Born For This - Dumbfoundead

Testo della canzone Born For This (Dumbfoundead), tratta dall'album Old Boy Jon

Yo, 1986 a star was in the making

I had no idea that the world was for the taking

Received my education from the television stations

My family never had them dinner conversations

When they got back from work, you see their backs would hurt

So I provided laughter, my earliest acting work

Doing dances, lip syncing rappers

Impersonating Michael Jackson and kung fu captions

Ha, funny guy, never had the butterflies

Never shy, every five minutes I would improvise

Class clown, had jokes before a peach fuzz

Ask around, I was roasting 'em like peanuts

Dime bags in middle school, my Walkman

My life saver through dark days and lost angels

Fourteen candles when I wrote a sixteen

For the first time my first rhymes were shitty

So we practiced and the homie tracked us

It attracted mad bitches to the mattress

Spent more time on my rapping than fractions

Dropped all my classes, cause I was born for this

Yeah I was born for this

I was born for this

Yeah I was born for this

Uh, yo

But damn yo, shoulda heard the corny Jackie Chan jokes

Thinking they were getting me when they bout to get handled

Rambo killing my crew like Sam Crow

Crammed seven in a van, man it wasn't grandiose, nah

Shows were grassroots before the cash ruled

Gas money tours, we were sleeping on the floors

If you saw me and Zo way before then you would know

We have grown, if we had a chart it'd be a slope

Going up, up, see the slope going up

The student became the teacher now the kid blowing up

Don't ever leave a mic cold, flow when the cameras roll

Signed that open mic list, hunger shoulda told you this

Crenshaw or rock a bar mitzvah

Any chance I got was like that and like this y'all

Takes ten years not ten seconds to lift off

Stay patient and try not to get pissed cause

Fifteen year old John woulda served youngin

Nineteen year old John woulda served time

But old boy John, man he out here having fun

And the best is yet to come, I was born for this

Yeah I was born for this

I was born for this

Yeah I was born for this
