Lemon Pepper Freestyle

[Intro]
One take...
Turn me up in the headphones?
Alright, cool -

[Verse 1]
I’m steady breathin’, no one really competin’
Leeches steal and reach in, but ain’t aware that I seen it
These rappers want the best but ain’t aware that I be it
I been workin with my team to ensure that we all eatin’
Cause as a youth I was taught to provide for your people
Certified in my City man, I promise you I ain’t evil
Why do they beg us to stay
When in the end its “I don’t need you”
This shit is so confusing but I find it very amusing
Because I’m 22 and I feel like I shouldn’t be proving
Not a single thing to anybody considering how I’m moving
I’m never chillin’ with suckas on that clown ass shit
Cause I’m from a city where real ones don’t be around that shit
So if you don’t know me just say wassup, give me a pound, that’s it
That’s word to Big L, you know I’m working to get better
Writing down all of my raps while munchin’ on Lemon Pepper
This music from my soul and it’s somethin you can’t control
Feastin’ on these beats and redesigning the flows
Rap Game won’t ever know unless you grab it and go
Living life through all my standards, can’t live for nobody else
They tell me Jaris how you make that money
If music ain’t what you sell?
Homie I’m droppin’ game
For people that want the fame
Cause I know that these rappers
Want people screamin’ their name
Just like me, that’s why I stay in my lane
Cause at the end of the day
We all want similar thangs

[Verse 2]
I came in the game swingin' and realized I had to breathe
Cause real eyes see direction and move at cruise speeds
Keep it hella smooth when I step up in the booth
Creep in hella juiced and speak my message with the truth
This just something that I do, I got a lotta shit to prove
So many long nights man I been trippin’ off them days
Lately been, dream chasin’ but I was stuck up in my ways
On these beats, I’m a killer that’s straight facts
Never banged Gats, or ran around with my strap
I just kept the switchblade on my hip, ready to dip
Chillin’ in a Civic with dark tints, It’s kinda sick
The way I’m slick and move quick but never slip
Ready for any tricks they tryna pull against me
Don’t bother anybody so why the fuck do they tempt me?
Saw a couple people die now that shit don’t even scare me
But Rest In Peace to the fallen, you know I know that you hear me
Sticking by my side, through thick and thin down to ride
I’m always just down to slide with homies up by my side
Y’all don’t want it with me The Bay is where I reside
I just - gotta get it you know that I’m finna do it
Ain't nobody know my story, so just listen to the music
I been doing this, since the fucking 10th grade
You either learn the rules fast or end up gettin’ played
So go and watch ya back I’m alert about all the movement
The greatness that I’m achieving is something nobody’s doing
Thankful for my past and everything that had happened
Cause I wouldn’t be here now if I ain’t let go of all my sadness
These people don’t know me, they never did and it makes me think
Where would I be if they ain’t put me up on the brink
Of pullin triggers or getting caught up deep in the streets
Cause I was never meant to be something I couldn’t see
Lately just been so quiet I feel like i’m hearin’ voices
Reflecting on my life thinking bout bad choices
But when I look back I know they made it all better
Never dealt with just a storm I had to weather the weather
I just keep it all on wax and stay a hunnid on the track
Gotta keep it intact for the people and never lack
Cause if I do then who’s gon lead ‘em to where they need to be at?
Always keep it a stack and every time I’ll move past
Suckas in this race cause you know that they coming last
Just focused on the finish, never worried about the speed
Cause direction beats the pace as long as you still believe
And i don’t do this for nobody besides the Holy Trinity
That’s me, myself, and i, it’s what it means to me
So if you tryna pull some strings i’ll gladly go make you stop
Cause you a few seconds away from gettin’ your ass rocked
This is just how we move, we speak with purpose & go stand on it
I never second guess myself cause I’m too flamboyant
I planned on it, in terms of all of the fame
When I was thirteen, I had envisioned myself on stage
Jam packed crowds, I’m talking a thousand stayed
To watch me pour my heart out on raps and know my name
Shortly after I woke up and chose to chase it
It’s been 50 thousand hours so it’s clear to me y’all can’t break it
For those who want my spot, I’d advise you to come and take it
These are six minute verses but just need one time to rehearse it
When I touch them big B’s I promised I wouldn’t splurge it
Careful with my paper gotta keep it all classified
Just cause I rock a white tee & jeans don’t mean that I ain’t satisfied

[Verse 3]
Y’all focused on material, I’m focused on who I bleed with
Situations never matter, it’s all about how you see shit
Y’all go live in the moment but I was taught to seize it
On my last record they told me “Jaris you’ll never be shit”
Shoulda quit that same day because I almost believed it
Well fuck that homie cause I just jumped right back in the booth
To continue to pursue something they said I couldn’t do
It just made me want it more so thanks for all of the hate
A lotta people tried to befriend me but I see the ones who are fake
They the ones who try to relate and be lyin’ straight to your face
Imma break this game down all the way to it’s fucking core
I drop a song ‘bout once a month cause they told me that less is more
People create they demise and fall up into they pride
Hold onto all that anger and bottle it up inside
Your mind’ll get you killed as much as your heart would
So how the fuck I’m ‘posed to know which to listen to when I should
Cookies or Blue Dream, you gotta inhale all of that good shit
Be strong enough to live and make it through all that bullshit
Life isn’t forever, that’s why I keep it pushin’
Never lookin, at anybody minding my mind
Steady at all times, never thought to rewind
I got the life I’m living now cause I never stopped the grind
I just murder every line a single word at a time
I never sold that white or bagged up any dimes
I just had to get mines cause well I had to survive
Y’all were raised offa love that’s just the clear factor
I done sinned one too many times, I can’t see my next chapter
Like when we all die, is there just darkness coming after?
Never abandon ship I’ll be fighting until the end
Enemies was close to me so watch who you call your friends
4th quarter steppin, I’m payin’ homage to legends
Got a couple ref-rences so just watch who you be checkin’
And if you do, it’s probably because I just allow it
You tryna clear out my squad but homie I really doubt it
It’s never crowded, to be where I am with the crew
We be thuggin seven deep, I’m not talking one or two
Know that we coming through we be chillin’ up in a coupe
But it’s all good too, cause this is just how we move
We done came a long way, homie we gotta eat
I was never in but was surrounded by the streets
I done seen the good and bad, livin through every week
Never kept my piece, but still had to just keep the peace
So shut your mouth, y’all can’t even rap for six minutes
You just spit a quick 40 and act like you Sikwidit - damn!
