Testo Simple Introduction - Jon Foli
Testo della canzone Simple Introduction (Jon Foli), tratta dall'album Tear Stains on Blue Satin
Erm Hi
I know this isn't the usual way people introduce themselves to you
But I was thinking we could try something different
Maybe I could tell you a story or two
(Or till I die)
But before I do that, I was hoping I could tell you a bit about your storyteller today, you know
We could call this a Simple Introduction
The name's Jon Foli
I'm far from Holy
But I love the Lord yeah
Word to the ones that know me
Word to the ones that know me
I can't embrace the nonsense
Except through rhyme I find it hard to relay whatever I have laid on my conscience
Its pure coincidence if you happen to relate
I speak my truth ain't tryna be the people's champion
I understand my rhymes be so simple
But why try to be complex, I ain't plan to be in no contest
I'm just tryin to tell my story boy
Yeah I just want to tell a story
My nigga Dean put me onto some good shit
Barely 13, being shady was all that mattwrs
Rooftop Karaoke
I fell in love slowly, sudden addiction
I needed more, so I start experimenting
I have never been the tallest nigga in the room
Like ever
With music it always seemed like destiny you know
Ever since I was a young boy, somehow I always knew that
I stand tall at 5'6
Alaafia ati ife
I do my best to avoid the conflicts
Exhibiting God and His gifts
Alaafia ati ife
Focused on manifesting all that He promised
Pre-teen you won't me I won't be no priest
Damn, a lots changed ever since my first kiss
My first I love you, my first heartbreak
My first nigga let's get it, my first job, my first pay - splash
Music has always been liberating for me
Whether I was making it or just singing along to my heroes
I always had the chance to be free and just be myself instead of always
Trying to find a balance and satisfying other's expectations for my life you know
So it's amazing
I'm grateful actually
Ali Gee want me in that suit and tie
I could do it but I'm scared I might just gag and die
I hear a few niggas whisper, that I'm bound to crash
Well if that's the case then I might as well be the one to drive
A big brother and not a father to my baby sister
Trust issues but my girl know I'm sticking with her
Though she always surrounded by mad niggas
I'm that nigga, just waiting on God to come through with Hov like figures
Never been shy of my Christian faith
Being a family guy has never been up for debate
Collective success means more to me than my milestones
My homies triumphs I always celebrate
I'll always be that quiet nigga with a lot to say
I still believe love's the only drug not being abused today
I think we should teach boys to be gentlemen as much as we tell off our queens
Jo's my guardian angel with no wings
