Jess Kav - Headstrong lyrics

[Intro] [Verse 1] You can tell a man by the group he's among So I keep it tight-knit and avoid those loose with the tongue I'm a man of few word's because the truth is unsung So when you see me then it'll just be a salute and a thumb I was sitting on the roof in the sun Mixing juice with Jamaican Rum while taking a zoot to the lung I have a couple of option's that need deducing to one Should I be doing this for funds or should I do it for fun? See if I was keeping too real i'd be reputed as scum And that's a fan base reducing to none But if I was keeping it too sweet, could my music be shunned? f** excusing a pun, picture me invest Blood, sweat and years in this music i've done for me to not be recouping a crumb I wrote a formula confusing to some, like computing a sum It's gotta be GI or JackKnife on the loop and the drums With my Phonetics like Mook & The Sons [Hook: Jess Kav] I've been tryna change my ways, but at times you push me to the edge You don't wanna see the side of me, when the negativity runs through my head Then i'll be dead wrong, dead wrong, dead wrong But I gotta be headstrong, headstrong, headstrong [Verse 2] When I prefer to be alone I put a divert on the phone Leave a message when referred to the tone, immersed in the zone Working on the verse of a poem Still instilling a sense of fulfilling a sk** it took me an era to hone I'm taking it back to the barebones, when Monica was sharing her home Used to be skipping school, wanted to be spitting j**els Like the rarest of stones in Sierra Leone The fam called me fresh prince cause I was the heir to their throne And stayed fresh without a squirt of cologne Fast forward, me and my mother were conversing She says i'm more determined than any person she's known But she's scared not knowing where is it going I said I thought you were as good as gone twice without a hair on your dome Cause I was birthed alone and i'll leave this earth on my own So while i'm here my only concern is me taking good care of my own (Only concern is me taking good care of my own, now that's keeping it real) [Hook] [Verse 3] So blaze some gra**, take a drag or raise a gla** of Shiraz Toast with me to the future that we grafted to have At last, alas.. I been thinking since Lunitic had pa**ed I'm tasked with carrying the mast with the flag Though it's sad we'd never a minute to hit the lab to do a collab It's mad when i'm out gigging with all the lads that you had ama**ed Last night we were blasting some Nas Reminiscing, drinking to the good old days.. the past is the past When I said I wanted to do this half of them lambasted and laughed Now we're winning, they're grinning but that's a mask Too bad, cause I can see past their facade So consider that next time you music critics ask why i'm cra** f** swag i'm the last of the suave Polo glad rags have them tryna figure if it's cla** or pizzazz I live this life like every gasp is my last If you've a different opinion to that then kiss your hand on behalf of this a** [Hook]
