Rhymes wit the 1 - 2 – I love to – I’m one who
Assumptions mean nothin and discussion’s just buzzin
But love in action means somethin – I’m lovin the percussion
And now I rhyme for the love an’ – plus where I’m from this
They dubbed it – - - it’s the city of brotherly lovin
My aim’s to keep it hot like an oven – I’ve seen people
Have layers like onions - I’m learnin this observin this
Feelin that my purpose is – spreadin joy thru music
I’m doin this to service this – nuture this – gift I’ve
Been given to flourish this – I heard a lotta tracks
It helped enact what my version is – to be a better person is
My job I’m pursuin - - - I’d love to stop pollution
I’m startin wit reviewin what I’m doin - - I’m reducin
My consumin - - and reducing and reusin what I’m usin
I’m doin what I’m doin to spread joy through this music (and)
I spread J to the O to the Y – through my M – U – S- I – C
I see - wit my raps it comes back to me
I was too zealoted and angry couldn’t handle the
Anger I was havin - feelin badly - it was landin me
In places far from sanity – I’ve faced I couldn’t manage the
I feel better findin ways to bring other people pleasure
I treasure wit rap – that now – that’s – my endeavor (echo)
I live by a code - of goals - that’s so old
to face selfishness and break myself out the mold
It’s what I’ve been sold – I’m not buyin – I’m tryin
I’m strivin to make those I know feel more alive and
I’ve even seen em cryin - - - tears of happiness
From the ways that my actions is – touchin these reactions is
The payment for my ways in this (it’s) worth more than billions is
Ask my friend Bill it gets – - better with this willingness
Then any food’s filling is - - - - it makes me higher
Than any sky scraper buildin is - - it’s a gift that keep givin
It’s a given I keep givin – and stay livin in this way (and its)
In my 20’s and early 30’s girls flirted with me constantly
Hey it’s Jon B but wit muscles but it’s puzzlin
‘cause now - they don’t look at me in the same way
as I age – but I’m the same - - guy – I – didn’t change
inside – - I remain - - - - I’m learnin as a person
that real beauty is within – and now I try to turn and
spread this joy from within – while I’m livin on this mission
to as many as I can – real beauty from me to you to see
I’m strivin to leave my essence inside of these messages
- from now until it’s forever it’s - reincarnated
Everytime ya start playin it - I rhyme and start sayin it
- my part – started playin it – could see ya heart engaged in it
Spreadin joy – exchanging it – it’s amazin grace in this
I’m appreciatin this – graciousness – a case of this
Is so contagious yes – and my grandmother
She was always sayin this – I’m livin this way and its
The smile that Tim had when he first heard my track
This is why I rap – - - and this is why I’m back
Wit this it's for the love – it’s somethin from above
- - What I used to aspire to – now I feel higher too
I spread J to the O – to the Y - - - - - - (repeats)
