As a freshman in high school Jon Connor began selling his own mixtapes out of his school backpack and out of the trunk of his mother's car with the help of his older sister. By 18, Connor had developed a name for himself in the Flint music scene. He completed an entire movie score for the independent Basketball Documentary Film "Flint Star The Motion Picture". To complete the movie score he used new and some old music that dated back to when he was 15 years old. He later went on to shoot his first independent music video that same year.
In 2005 he teamed up with the southern-based beat making team of E. Rude and Kevin "K.Wills" Williams to create the underground classic "The Calling Pt. 1 The Prequel". Raptalk.net calls the Calling “…an awesome blend of pure hip hop flow, unique beats, solid production, and realistic content”. His music conveys genuine purpose and individuality, rare qualities in contemporary rappers. The Calling pt.1 served as Connor's official introduction to the world, as it gained him national notoriety (VH1.com, rapcapital.com, planeturban, Urbanology magazine etc.) and a loyal fan base. Producing over half of the material on his critically acclaimed debut album, Connor not only showed his ability as a gifted lyricist and songwriter, but also as a skilled producer.
Connor's style of production is described by him as "a mirror of human emotions". His sound is well rounded just as his influences are. Connor's influences include; Prince, Hall and Oats, Michael Jackson, Carol King, Beats by the pound and Seal among many others. Never one to limit himself, Connor not only strives to be a great hip-hop producer, but a great producer period, no matter the genre.
Jon Connor is a young musical talent who will be a force in music for years to come, “Even this early in his career, Jon Connor has every right to label himself the “people’s rapper”…” (Rapreviews.com.). Connor’s progression from underground rapper to commercial success is a long way from selling mix tapes out his mother’s car in Flint. But don’t expect the self proclaimed musical “Terminator” to lose his hunger any time soon.
Don't Fall In Love
Jon Connor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No, I do not love you, Hell no, I ain't gon' marry you
Tryna run that game but a real nigga scarin' you
Fuck you think I'm stupid? I know all these niggas sharin' you
Fall in head first, when I was young I learned my lesson
Nigga, don't ignore that feeling if she got you second guessing
You wonder what she doin', every minute, every second
You keep callin' (callin), and gettin' a voice message
Make you question why you fucking with her, she fucking another nigga
You fucked on the first night? So did that other nigga
And no nigga, don't treat the pussy like a prize
These hoes can expose that you a pussy in disguise
So you thinkin' you gon' rescue her
News flash; she laughing at that ass while this nigga layin' next to her
He shakin' his head every time you send a text to her
Don't play yourself homeboy, it's just sex to her
(yea it is)
Don't fall in love with a bitch
They take what they can, at every fucking cost
At any risk or any loss
Don't fall in love with a bitch
They take what they can, at every fucking cost
That's why you niggas end up lost
Look I'm speaking from experience, so you don't have to
I used to save these hoes, go to the crib, and get the bat suit
Got the run around so much, I shoulda wore a track suit
Niggas tellin' me that ain't the bitch to get attached to
Shit, I done seen niggas go crazy for these hoes
Try to trap em, bustin' in em, having babies by these hoes
They trapped in the moment, while she fuckin', giving head
The truth get exposed, now it's fucking with his head
Make me sick to my stomach cause you missin' that bitch
She just sucked my dick and now you kissin' that bitch
The homies know the deal, we all dissin' that bitch
Riding strapped with this nigga, steady quittin' that bitch
Go run your game cause I'm up on it
I told em she was mine for tonight
And now she his for the moment
In my bed last night, now she's in here for the morning
I pimped your game out it
Don't fall in love with a bitch
They take what they can, at every fucking cost
At any risk or any loss
Don't fall in love with a bitch
They take what they can, at every fucking cost
That's why you niggas end up lost
Don't fall in love with a bitch
In Jon Connor's song Don't Fall In Love, he speaks about his experience with women and the dangers of falling in love with them. The first verse starts with Connor saying he's not like the other men who may be interested in a woman for reasons other than genuine affection. He warns women that he won't marry them and he knows when they're being unfaithful. He cautions listeners against falling headfirst into relationships, suggesting they trust their instincts when they feel something is off. Connor is aware of the risks involved in relationships and warns against being blinded by love. He believes women are manipulative and will use whatever means possible to get what they want from men.
In the second verse of the song, Connor speaks from experience, having dealt with women who he thought were worth his time but who ended up being a waste of energy. He's seen his friends fall victim to women who trap them with babies or lead them on with false intentions. Connor is aware of the turmoil and chaos that women can bring into his life and advises men to be cautious. He's aware of the allure of a woman, but he also knows that they're often only after one thing.
The song's chorus repeats the title phrase, warning men against being fooled by women and falling in love. Connor emphasizes that women will take advantage of men at any cost and that they must be careful not to be lost in the process.
