Someone to Lean On by Poetic Junior Lyrics
[Part I]
[Intro: Jon Lewis]
Yeah
Gotta have someone to lean on Junior, you know
[Verse 1: Jon Lewis]
Paint a picture perfect, paint a perfect picture
Pick it up, break it down; roll it like a swisher
Ironic statement, put the weed down a while ago
Team got talent, but we still got a little while to go
Crazy your dreams can be a music file away
Supersonic sound, heard I boom a couple miles away
So just smile today, know that great is coming
Staying humble, keep on grinding, know we worked for something
Can I keep it true? Will I get lazy often?
Nah forget it man, that's prolly just the crazy talking
I been lost up in my mind, my thoughts get hazy often
Tryna find my steps, I’m feeling like a baby walking
And when I see a fine shawty I can't get distracted
Dudes be trippin', ol’ girl got 'em out here doing backflips
But that can't be me, nah that can't be me
I got some goals, bigger things I'm tryna come to be
[Hook: Jon Lewis]
Married to the game, it's my bride
People saying that the grass is greener on other sides
Tell me have you seen her
So much grinding that it prolly ain't safe
Blessings falling at me, but I can't be losing my faith
Tell me, Saint
[Verse 2: Poetic Junior]
"You going to touch the sky", that’s what my homie said
"One day you’ll say goodbye", that's what my cousin said
But it’s more like see you later, he said, "do me a favor
Be careful with that pleasure, be careful with that treasure"
I'ma stay in my zone, like Motown, Quincy Jones
Take care of my mom, see you when I'm gone
It's a thriller, I deliver, who’s realer?
I'm the master like a motherfuckin' Miller
Selling beats like a beat dealer
Yeah, that's dope Romey Rome
You gave your whole family hope, we know
But no, you gotta grow, stay afloat, keep your bro
Watch out for hoes, drive slow, always glow
Stay high at your lows
They say I'm going Hollywood
I do this for my neighborhood, with my bros like The Wood
Lumberjack, chop the loops
Once had dreams to go hoop
Before I met the truth, before I got fined with that coupe
[Hook: Jon Lewis]
Married to the game, it's my bride
People saying that the grass is greener on other sides
Tell me have you seen her
So much grinding that it prolly ain't safe
Blessings falling at me, but I can't be losing my faith
Tell me, Saint
[Interlude: Poetic Junior]
Lock yourself in the room for three summers
Lock yourself in the room for three summers
Man this is The Family Business right here
First and foremost shoutout to my nigga Gabby man I ain't say shoutout to him all tape
But look this is a beat tape, I went from dropping just instrumentals to dropping songs with the fam and now I'm rapping
Like yo, we unstoppable man
The 2020s we 'bout to take over, we bout to find a new wave
Shoutout to my nigga Smiley too man
[Hook: Jon Lewis & Poetic Junior]
Married to the game, it's my bride
People saying that the grass is greener on other sides
Tell me have you seen her
Yo Jon that's not funny my nigga, how you gon' interrupt me? I wasn't done talking man
Like how you gon' interrupt me when I'm talking like yo it's my fucking outro
Like man, you know what? Fuck it, come on man
So much grinding that it prolly ain't safe
Blessings falling at me, but I can't be losing my faith
Tell me, Saint
[Part II]
[Verse 3: Rashaann]
I need someone to lean on when these times get hard
I need someone to lean on when I feel so lost
On this road to success, and if I get crossed
Will you be that somebody that I lean on?
You see I don't mean to question
Just some things that I'm hoping to know
Could you please direct me?
Got some dreams and I'm hoping to grow
It seems in this moment of hope
You bring what I'm searching out for
But I was once fooled by the friends I trusted the most
So I'm asking that you please end the cycle
Of me trusting all the ones who started out just like you
But later turned, the bridges burned, I think I've earned the right to
Receive someone, the one I want to really give this life to
But I got some real fears accumulating by the years
And I've shed so many tears in pursuit of this career
Dealing with the pressure tryna change the lives around me
Knowing one day I won't be the way the people found me
When my pen don't work the same, crowds won't scream my name
The verses just ain't as deep, the hooks just don't engage
The albums don't get acclaimed, the shows don't entertain
And the whole world's watching like, "damn this nigga changed"
"Really? This the shit you really worried 'bout?
While them others do the same, you the one standing out
Them niggas going with the flow, you the one planning out
All that confidence you show, I never thought that you would doubt
But at least you ain't afraid to reveal your real emotions
I mean you're only human, for once someone is open
About how they really feel, even if admitting fear
'Cause usually we can't even get beneath the surface
But you got a job to do, you're our chosen one
And this ain't probable, it's certain your moment comes
And through these obstacles, the whole world'll witness
And thank 'em all for witnessing The Family Business"
