Johnny Richter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If you aren′t movin forward
Then you are falling back yeah
People they change yeah
So if you aint movin forward
Then you be fallin back yeah
Broke outa my jail
Got wind in my sail
So were back to dipping the scales
And racing my fails
My false now im rippin it well
Equipped with the skill
Im???? conquerin it will
You know the deal i be the
Microsoft stock option
Or you better fight me when it
Comes to boxin
The number one concoction
Whos a caucasian
Winin all the awards from the
Alcoholic nation
Growin like inflation
Shockin like im Tasin
Isnt it amazin how i make???
Im sweetness when im rippin the mic
The people in the croud agree
That i be rippin it right
Turn off ur lights and turn on ur
Speakers, tightn up ur bills and lass
Up ur sneakers
Cause this is the one here that be written the books
Com get with J Ric and lets do this hook
(I change) i keep movin forward man the past is the
Past i look for the future i gotta keep my foot on the gas
I raced yesterday i just looked at and laughed man
I make my own path Falls through the hour glass ×2
Im finally in love I open my eyes
Im sick of the drive so Im jumping my bike and started to ryme
When were gettin high im getting high up in the sky but
Now im flyin through the air like a squirrel that flies
American pie, my peice i want it with whip cream
"No clue"
But i try to keep the peice but all i hear is the DING DING
This time imma bring the beats but imma unleash it in new ring
Im so fresh like like a bar at hour springs
So clean on the mic when it comes to delivering
The true the words you can hear it in my voice
The nouns the verbs now imma hide you with
The choice, to listen to not to give or get got
Im soldid like a rock when it comes to record shot,
Be an unstoppable object lettin everbody know its
Time to bring this hook back man u know how it goes
I keep movin forward man the past is the past i look for the future i
Gotta keep my foot on the gas I raced yesterday i just looked at
And laughed man i make my own path Falls through the hour glass ×2
As you get a little older your veiws get skewed
Beetween what you really think and what ur supposed to do
It might invoke a few
It might change a few
People's perseptions headin off in
Different derections against perplection
Tryna put it togetha
But i know the sunny skies all i got to do is weather,
The storm reborn is how im feelin at the
Moment whats torn but now i live my life in my Atomic
Your brain grows and everything goes as you get older,
See as a kid i used to question like a news reporter tryn get the
Scoot i wasnt chassin loot i was chasin the truth while im a???
Right about now i need my two dollars pluss some cents you got no
Cents imma??? Real good with the fam your best
Friend and such but just know I′ll be bittin in the clutch
I keep movin forward man the past is the past i look for the future i
Gotta keep my foot on the gas I raced yesterday i just looked at
And laughed man i make my own path Falls through the hour glass ×2
"I know theres mess ups pls help fix it if u can :)"
