Hometown Hero by Jan P The MC Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It's time to make a change up in this rap game
Man everybody following that's why ya'll rap the same
This industry will swear to you that all is able
But it took for me to sign to see I didn't need a label
So I took it back yeah I had to recollect
On my Tezo shit had to re-up and reinvest
Baby momma on my ass trying to keep a nigga stressed
Blocked me from my vision when I didn't see that I was blessed
And once they realized that Jéan P can't be cloned now
I became a threat hated on in my hometown
In one year I grew from my accomplishments
I built a buzz without rapping at The Monument
I had to get it though by age I was grown
Had to learn to do some things on my own
They say a hero is somebody that's idolized by all of their qualities
They ask me why I keep going
Well possibly because my grandma getting older, as i'm getting stronger
Friends don't last forever so prepare to be a loner
It take alot for me to get pissed I keep peace
Though I take out my emotions when I'm killing these beats
Mic check, I walk around this bitch in my Timbo's
Lounging with my Oshun done with the bimbos
Man these rappers got the game misused
If what you're doing is not your passion you got nothing to lose
We was bumping Wu-Tang like they was the new thing
Calling me a white boy said that I was too lame
I'm a Christian with some demons so I'm riding two lanes
I'm living in this crazy world they think i'm too sane
Man I write like music's my only option
I do it because I love it not to be inside your Top Ten
My intellect is twisted but I'm gifted
I might take a shot but i'm a pass on getting lifted
You ever felt like the end was approaching?
Trying to branch out but you feeling so closed in?
Cuz everyday's a new page another chapter
Content even if I never made it as a rapper
I never tried to fit in with the in crowd
Plus the people in my city know I'm making them proud
Macy Gray, Mike Doss, Eric Snow, Keith Mcleod
Now Jéan P is 330's Golden Child
It's time to make a change up in this rap game
Man everybody following that's why ya'll rap the same
This industry will swear to you that all is able
But it took for me to sign to see I didn't need a label
So I took it back yeah I had to recollect
On my Tezo shit had to re-up and reinvest
Baby momma on my ass trying to keep a nigga stressed
Blocked me from my vision when I didn't see that I was blessed
And once they realized that Jéan P can't be cloned now
I became a threat hated on in my hometown
