Jett Lennon - Lemme Tell Ya

{verse}
Life is an abyss, lemme tell ya
Some travel and roam the unknown, lookin’ for a place to call home
This ain’t it and it’s never really wished for
What does that mean? lemme tell ya
Some thugs and homies get caught up in a very wrong scene
A scene filled with guns and drug paraphernalia
A scene filled with stealin’ and livin’ in a shelter
I’m not in that scene, lemme tell ya
Even though we all chasin’ green
And evеn though i’m stayin on the move
I know that when it comеs down to hang around crowds
I carefully choose, and you should too
Cause one wrong move, like a patron at a bank when the place gets robbed
You get kidnapped and end up layin’ on your back in the trunk of the getaway car in a high-speed chase, lemme tell ya
I once thought hip hop was on the brink of extinction
But now i got the self-appointed distinction of making my contribution
I use the first amendment of the u.s. constitution
This power can be used to influence the youth with
I make a good point like a toothpick
What i say is what i meant
What a platform i best not abuse it, lemme tell ya
When i go to vent i don’t wanna misrepresent myself
I don’t come from wealth in a monetary sense
But my mind is rich if that makes any sense, lemme tell ya
I get conflicted if i’m thrown into the spotlight too fast
I wrestle with internal monologue and then i ask “how’d i do that?”
I struggle with my image and i beg for forgiveness
I really thought you knew that
It’s all inside my head lemme tell ya
I turn a cold shoulder to problems some people are knee-deep in
It’s time to put my foot down before a lot more creep in, lemme tell ya
I pray more wealth to my name would impact and benefit everyone around me more than myself
Of course i would change, but not a whole lot
I swear on my name, lemme tell ya
I had a couple writtens i just had to stick the key in the ignition
So i set up a recording studio in my apartment basement
I went on to record a couple ditties and i formulated proof of concept
I sure as hell am not inept
I surmount challenges, no nears were wept, lemme tell ya
