[Intro] [Verse 1: Jon Connor] Started as a child I just wanna make my momma and my grandma proud Never would have envisioned that the scribbles that I was writing In my kitchen would eventually catch up with me now Meaning, I done been through hell, saw my friends turn to demons transformed Wouldn't have believed it if i hadn't see it n***as say they love you long as love mean manipulation Jealousy of Jon Connor make them hate Jon Freeman What am I to do when it's them not me that can't separate the two When everyone changing making plans for when you famous And everybody saying boy you better stay you I better stay me sh** you better stay you I ain't ever had a problem with the person in the mirror Now my grandma gone and I still kept going Got nerve saying Connor don't lose your soul Like I need a f**ing reason [Hook: Jon Connor] Hol' up I do'nt need a reason It go hard on these rap n***as I don't need a reason It go hard on these wack n***as I don't need a reason Lose my mind n***a I don't need a reason Lose my mind n***a don't give me a reason It go hard on these rap n***as don't give me a reason It go hard on these wack n***as don't give me a reason k** your favourite rap n***a don't give me a reason Is it fair? I done got up I done pay dues Made a living At not giving a f** I'd have been broke on my a** and I don't give up Gave my all when it seemed my all ain't enough I don't need a reason Hol' up, I don't need a reason It go hard on these rap n***as don't give me a reason It go hard on these wack n***as don't give me a reason k** your favourite rap n***a I don't need a reason [Verse 2: Jon Connor] Look, D Monny homicide still kept rapping Best friend suicide still kept rapping Lil' cousin car crash they don't know what happen So how you motherf**ers gonna tell me about pa**ion How you gonna tell me what should motivate me When my motive for doing music always motivate me daily When i look around and I don't see nobody that was there from the beginning In my room crying like a f**ing baby Do you know what that feel like? All this sh** that I'm saying is my real life Got stabbed in the back and don't know how to act Cos my war wounds ain't heal right I gotta answer to god I don't answer to y'all f** n***as specially n***as hating on blogs f** a magazine f** a review Like a need an excuse to do what I gotta do n***a I don't need a motherf**ing reason [Hook] Hol' up I don't need a reason It go hard on these rap n***as I don't need a reason It go hard on these wack n***as I don't need a reason Lose my mind n***a I don't need a reason Lose my mind n***a don't give me a reason It go hard on these rap n***as don't give me a reason It go hard on these wack n***as don't give me a reason k** your favourite rap n***a don't give me a reason [Verse 3: Jon Connor] Performing in, hole in the walls With bullet holes in the walls Don't know if I'll make it clapped or get a round of applause I'm in the club hood n***as looking at me funny like he ain't a trap n***a But they can see he was hungry huh?, ain't sleeping ain't eating Ain't doing a goddamn thing but my thing Hol' up real n***a I'll remind them of the nineties April 1985 my spirit jumping out of my body oh sh** Every night I'm down on my knees Every night I'm saying god please Help me to warn these n***as If they ever question my drive they don't really know me Been through more than a n***a could imagine Pissing on a n***a would never get a reaction They was pissing on a n***a but they wasn't even a distraction The time I spend on haters they don't add up to a fraction, gone! [Hook] Hol' up I don't need a reason It go hard on these rap n***as It go hard on these wack n***as I don't need a reason I don't need a reason Lose my mind n***a It go hard on these rap n***as don't give me a reason It go hard on these wack n***as don't give me a reason k** your favourite rap n***a don't give me a reason
