Lyrics

[Chorus: Jason Rose] [?] place near the hideout You've been running for miles I slip away in the tall grass Joke's on you You let 'em make it, they'll break you too The most plain perfume Watching from a limb with the best view Joke's on you [Verse 1: Copywrite] I think my mom and dad's Death's the worst thing that could have happened to me as a man (And?) The best thing that could have happened for reaching my fans (Damn) When they tell me "June" helped to get 'em through suicidal times It's kind of like we helped each other out 'cause you and I are fine And I remember when dad was the only one gone? Thought I'd have to write only one song, but, boy, was I wrong 'Cause we still got a lot of folks we've yet to reach When we win the award but don't give an acceptance speech Expect the Reap' 'cause death can creep when you least expect This isn't a verse, it's my acceptance speech for your respect They tried to slander me with fight pictures, but the joke's On you. They made Copywrite richer, Copy might hit ya That's my livelihood. Bitter 'cause they can't paint the rhymes as good Caused me to get darker "Between the Sheets" than Ronald Isley could Set 'em straight. Life gives you lemons, you eat that lemon straight Piss the lemonade into Minute Maid, let me demonstrate [Chorus: Jason Rose] [?] place near the hideout You've been running for miles I slip away in the tall grass Joke's on you You let 'em make it, they'll break you too The most plain perfume Watching from a limb with the best view Joke's on you [Verse 2: Torae] The joke's on you, the quote's on me 'cause I Already tried to tell 'em what I was gon' be, but you ain't listen You ain't get it. Y'all supplied my steam. You're close- -minded candy vision with their eyes can't see, and I can't Be content knowing I settled for less, having More talent than Khaled screaming, "We are the best" ("We the best!") Spending 50 hours slaving in a tie at the desk when I'm Supposed to be on stage, rhyme-supplying the guests, but I guess You got debt breathing all on your neck and got No faith that faith gon' be under your steps, and so Your failure to accomplish start to turn to regret, and now You jealous 'cause I'm getting what you couldn't possess. Usually I relish in my merit, but I choose to digress. You should Be happy in your neighbor's harvest, you could be next. Some people Laugh to the bank while others cry as they check 'cause when The joke is on you, would be the one you don't get. What a mess [Chorus: Jason Rose] [?] place near the hideout You've been running for miles I slip away in the tall grass Joke's on you You let 'em make it, they'll break you too The most plain perfume Watching from a limb with the best view Joke's on you [Outro: Jason Rose] (x5) Down in the valley when the water runs slow They only flow the day it's supposed to go The wild creatures and the sky sits low And lightning buzzing on the radio
