random jean freestyle

yes, that's my birth name, say it in all caps

everything is on wax, every loss and lost track

turned a l to a v, but it's a work in progress

"why the fuck did you leave?" "because you worship profits"

not the kinda clique where you wanna lurk in closets

found my life in the beat, came out of the dirt in mosh pits

that's no cost of livin' life

so I work the problems in the darkness

jean, jamison, jasolino

tryna reach the point where I can tell my people

"have no fear," my goal is clearly beyond

you're too far behind, all you hear is "vroom"

I couldn't steer if I wanted to

me and my peers used to walk on roofs

became the talk of the school, now we're in cahoots

but the group was made to dismantle

a mental picture's worth a thousand words, it's hard to handle

so I learned to speak my mind, maybe teach some kids

just tryna reach some kids who wanna speak their mind

the cycle will continue, so my pen's never dry

the ink is for the many tears that I never cry

to the homie that said i'd never fly, but now i do

on planes to places i'd never been to

like a professor with credentials in poetry and existentialism

I am merely a vessel to lead you to something special

but i am not the messiah

i'll hold your hand and give you a light

but when it's time, i'm lettin' you go, into the unknown

where it becomes clearer

even your shadow leaves you in the darkness

just a matter of what you fear, my dear

when it's real, it all feels the same

but you'll never know until you say his name
