Jon Connor - Sky's The Limit lyrics

[Intro: Jon Connor] Good evening ladies and gentlemen How's everybody doing tonight? I'd like to welcome to the stage, the lyrically acclaimed I like this young man, because he calls himself "The people's rapper", I like that So everybody in the house, give a warm round of applause For Jon Connor, everybody give it up for "The People's Rapper" Jon Connor [Verse 1: Jon Connor] Let's talk about my n***a Lil Joe from down the street The hood would tease him cause he had braces on his teeth Wasn't never scared to say that was my best friend Too keep it real that was my right and my left hand Took me with him when he got his first kiss He wanted me to see him Because if he said he kissed a girl, nobody would believe him We out on our bikes, sh** sneaking every weekend Ass whoppings from my mama We ain't tell him we was leaving to Misfits Always together, in the mischiefs f** it, love the trouble, only made a stronger friendship Then we got into it, fell out over some kid sh** Never got to say I'm sorry, that's something I got to live with He always felt alone, parents was never home And now on top of that one of his best friends was gone He gave me my first mic, when I decided to write He took his own life, I cry to sleep every night Now who gon' tell me that success ain't come with a prize? Sky's the limit [Bridge: Biggie Smalls] Biggie Smalls is the realest person in the game The realest person, I mean You would feel like, there's nothing you'd have to hide from him, because he's just a real, he's real, you know what I'm saying You can tell me anything, and I can tell you anything You know, I don't bite my tongue for anyone, you know what Im saying, I just keep it a hundred percent [Verse 2: Jon Connor] I say a prayer every morning for my n***a Mini sh**, he probably believed in me more than anybody I was always humble, he lived a lifestyle that kept him in trouble Guess that's just the consequences of the life that we come from Originally from Tennessee, country n***a, funny n***a Ask him what he doing he go say: "I'm getting money n***a" Always made me laugh, even when he made me mad We used to write rhymes, I tried to lead him down a different path Nobody wanted to get tough with him And he'd see n***as if somebody f**ed with me Always in and out of lockdown Couldn't get my n***a to calm down Walking that tight rope, hoping that he don't fall down The hood asked me when the last time I spoked to him He sent me a letter saying I'm the only one that wrote to him He used to say "I'll do better when I get out" I remember, I got the call, I was sitting in Chris Webber's house He find out his girl was pregnant, months later then he got shot [Bridge: Biggie Smalls] I ain't gon' front, [?] Friends about to get locked up It still ain't really, It ain't really hit me, you know what I'm saying? I mean, when my best friend got k**ed it kind of shocked me up But, it was like I didn't, I didn't know I got introduced to d**, you know what I'm saying, and the game and know I'm from that 9 to 3 period I can make by the end $2000 [Verse 3: Jon Connor] I reminisce about my little cousin Jake It ain't a day that I wake up that I don't wish I had him back In high school, yeah I felt my sh** was kind of wack Was making even more, especially knew the words to all my raps Back then I would call him when I write it He would tell me if he like it And we both getting excited, I'm getting better at rhyming When we was little, he'd even try to rap with me We in the mirror actin like Biggie and Master P sh**, we was just fans Cash Money, Rough Ryder, two we yellin' in the stance Sean John Jeans-outfits, with bandanas 'round our head Looking like the Hot Boyz, reciting every word they said So I'm at Four Sales, I'm studying for a test Stressed, you told me don't worry just do my best The day I got off a break, was the day you got in a wreck The day I was supposed to see you, the day I laid you to rest Now tell me is it worth it, and is this really success, man? [Bridge: Biggie Smalls] All I can tell them is just keep trying, you know what I'm saying Consistency is the best thing, you know what I'm saying? As long as you keeping it real, and you keep trying [Outro: Jon Connor] Ay yo Jake Remember when we used to rap Gangsta Gangsta by N.W.A? I just worked with Dre and Cube, man Life crazy like that sometimes, man I miss you, I love ya'll
