The Why Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It was all so simple
What did I get myself into?
Writing all these poems, thought nobody would take notice
Now they're saying to keep going and to maintain the focus
Beats so lovely, mind so trusty
When given time to operate, please don't rush me
Commandeer a style to engineer a smile
On your face, replace all the sadness for awhile
If you're down, if not then you're in a better state
Than you were before, this is at the core
Of why I make this music, not to get a new whip
Hey Jonnae, yo tell em why we do this

[Chorus: Jonnae Thompson]
We put our soul in this
But will they ever know?
I guess that time will surely tell
It is our goal to lift
Your spirits sevenfold
A minor respite from this hell

[Verse 2]
I'm flying out to Paris as I pen this jam
With a new Macbook and a HD cam
Corder, the sorta rapper that invests in the plan
When blessed with the grands to make a move and build with the fam
As chill as I am, I'm so hype to kill it
Worldwide flow, where all types can feel it
So we take the time to do this right Get the youtube views with a few dislikes
Cause there's always a hater so I'm calling in a favor
From my hip hop heads to support our given nature
Rhythmic and eloquent, mystic but heaven sent
Wise and living long in the sun like elephants

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
I took a leap of faith that some would dig the verses
Wanna be a great and rap for bigger purses
If we increase the stakes there is a greater purpose
The money and the fame is nothing if you're feeling worthless
Feel the tide rising, seconds from skydiving
Is how I would equate this foray into high rhyming
Not a guy signing, I'm the high flying
Bruce Wayne when he's walking through applied science
Looking for the newest stock, Parental playing Lucius Fox
In this game, the best players always get the fewest shots
This has to reverse along with thinking me first
So I'm exercising my right to be heard

[Bridge: Jonnae Thompson]
Gentle grooves
They soothe your blues
How can we lose?
It's not what we choose

[Chorus]
