Parental - The Why lyrics

[Verse 1] It was all so simple What did I get myself into? Writing all these poems, thought nobody would take notice Now they're saying to keep going and to maintain the focus Beats so lovely, mind so trusty When given time to operate, please don't rush me Commandeer a style to engineer a smile On your face, replace all the sadness for awhile If you're down, if not then you're in a better state Than you were before, this is at the core Of why I make this music, not to get a new whip Hey Jonnae, yo tell em why we do this [Chorus: Jonnae Thompson] We put our soul in this But will they ever know? I guess that time will surely tell It is our goal to lift Your spirits sevenfold A minor respite from this hell [Verse 2] I'm flying out to Paris as I pen this jam With a new Macbook and a HD cam Corder, the sorta rapper that invests in the plan When blessed with the grands to make a move and build with the fam As chill as I am, I'm so hype to k** it Worldwide flow, where all types can feel it So we take the time to do this right Get the youtube views with a few dislikes Cause there's always a hater so I'm calling in a favor From my hip hop heads to support our given nature Rhythmic and eloquent, mystic but heaven sent Wise and living long in the sun like elephants [Chorus] [Verse 3] I took a leap of faith that some would dig the verses Wanna be a great and rap for bigger purses If we increase the stakes there is a greater purpose The money and the fame is nothing if you're feeling worthless Feel the tide rising, seconds from skydiving Is how I would equate this foray into high rhyming Not a guy signing, I'm the high flying Bruce Wayne when he's walking through applied science Looking for the newest stock, Parental playing Lucius Fox In this game, the best players always get the fewest shots This has to reverse along with thinking me first So I'm exercising my right to be heard [Bridge: Jonnae Thompson] Gentle grooves They soothe your blues How can we lose? It's not what we choose [Chorus]
