25 to Life

Lyrics

[Intro] Cannon [Chorus: Lia Mack & Jon Connor] Too late For the other side Caught in a chase 25 to life Too late For the other side Caught in a chase 25 to life Too late, yeah I guess I asked for this, right? I mean, that's what they say, caught in a chase 25 to life [Verse 1: Jon Conner] Uh Cannon I pretend like I don't hurt but y'all don't know my pain It's like, over the years you just get numb, this shit is novocaine They like, "Connor, why you ain't rich?" Man, y'all don't know the game It ain't all about rappin' and your talent, that's what they don't explain I get called Connor so much that I don't know my name I get called Connor so much I wanna blow my brains Just to have someone who can relate go talk to Kurt Cobain Then I sit back and think of James and I get so ashamed Before I can gather all my thought's I'm right back on a plane Starin' out the window in the clouds like, "Here we go again" The world expects me deliver hail, sleet, snow or rain So my heart bleeds through this pen like I broke a vein All I talk about now is music, all I know is this My closest friend say it seems like sometime I'm emotionless I think it started when I saw my cousin lie there motionless Ain't have time to deal with it so I never got over it I just went back to rhymin', back to the studio, business as usual All the while I'm thinkin', "What the fuck do I do this for?" For the haters that berate you even though you never met 'em That wanna see you fail, that'll kill your spirit if you let 'em, what? Do it for the the doubters that'll doubt you when they know nothin' about you Hope they can find your weakness so they can bring it out you Nah, I don't do it for my enemies or the industry I do it for the memories of those I love and lettin' 'em know how much they Meant to me, yeah [Chorus: Lia Mack] Too late For the other side Caught in a chase 25 to life Too late For the other side Caught in a chase 25 to life [Verse 2: Jon Conner] Yeah For real I be like, "Who do I tell this when I'm feeling helpless?" Don't wanna burden nobody with my problems, that'd be selfish I see people with genuine smiles and then I get jealous A prisoner of passion, inside my mind's where jail is Remember Sav told me, "Oh, you think they hate you now? In this business people build you up just to break you down They'll wait 'til you gone" "Why, I can't get that thank you now?" "The attention that you crave will be the same shit that'll take you down We saw Whitney strugglin' and did we offer to help her? No We made her a trendin' topic and just watched her on the TV show Passin' judgement with no repercussion, so easy though Y'all can do all the tributes you want, but she ain't here no more What we doin'? Misery and pain is televised and we just tune in like What? 'Cause you do music you ain't human, that shit is stupid I saw Amber Rose cryin' on MTV and I just watched like "Damn, this entertainment? How far we go before it stop?" Your relationship end and I'm sure you want your space They relationship end, the cameras shoved all in they face Ain't no asking' for compassion, 'cause your words would go to waste All the money that they give you don't compare to what they take Look, Michael gave his whole life, that ain't an exaggeration How'd we thank him for it? With Tabloids and accusations I done done too much to ever turn from this direction Ain't shit I can do to change it, so I guess I just accept it Damn [Chorus: Lia Mack] Too late For the other side Caught in a chase 25 to life Too late For the other side Caught in a chase 25 to life Too late Caught in a chase 25 to life Step back
