Born for This
Dumbfoundead

1986 a star was in the making,

I had no idea that the world was for the taking.

Received my education from the television stations,

My family never had them dinner conversations.

When they got back from work, you'd see their backs would hurt.

So I provided laughter, my earliest acting work

Doing dances, lip-syncing rappers

Impersonating Michael Jackson and Kung-Fu captions.

Ha, funny guy, never had the butterflies

Never shy, every five minutes I would improvise.

Class clown, had jokes before a peach fuzz,

Ask around, I was roasting them like peanuts

Dime bags in middle school, my Walkman

My life saver through dark days and lost angels

Fourteen candles when I wrote a sixteen

For the first time my first rhymes were shitty

So we practiced, and the homie tracked us

It attracted mad bitches to the mattress

Spent more time on my rapping than fractions

Dropped all my classes

Cause I was born for this...

I was born for this (I was born for this)

Yeah I was born for this (Yeah I was born for this)

I was born for this (I was born for this)

Yeah I was born for this

Damn yo

Should of heard the corny Jackie Chan jokes

Thinking they were getting me when they're 'bout to get handled

Rambo killin', my crew like Sam Crow

Crammed seven in a van, man it wasn't grandiose, nah

Shows were grassroots

Before the cash road gas money tours we were sleeping on the floors

If you saw me and Zo way before then you would know

We have grown, if we had a chart it'd be a slope

Going up, up, see the slope going up

The student became the teacher now the kid blowing up

Don't ever leave a mic cold

Flow when the cameras roll

Signed that open mic list

Hunger should have told you this

Crenshaw or rock a Bar Mitzvah,

Any chance I got was like that and like this ya'll

Takes ten years, not ten seconds to lift off

Stay patient and try not to get pissed cause

Fifteen year-old Jon would've served young'un

Nineteen year-old Jon would've served time

But Old Boy Jon, man he's out here having fun

And the best has yet to come

I was born for this...

I was born for this (I was born for this)

Yeah I was born for this (Yeah I was born for this)

I was born for this (I was born for this)

Yeah I was born for this
