Ron Ron's crossover appeal is obvious but it wasn't always that way. He faced two counts of first-degree murder related to the killing of two men outside a Kansas City liquor store - with the threat of life in prison and the death penalty. A not-guilty verdict in the summer of 2007 gave him a chance to pursue music.
Following a year in prison awaiting trial and months under house-arrest after posting bail, the acquittal gave Ron Ron the chance, with God as a guide, to eschew the past hood mentality - which he admits included carrying a gun, a sense of paranoia, a dislike for others and propensity to do "ignorant ****".
He started rapping over cassette recordings of radio songs during middle school as part of an itinerant childhood with his mother, a FEMA worker. Ron Ron returned to Kansas City at 14 to attend high school and grow up in the "50s" neighbourhood where Fat Tone and Tech N9ne also grew up.
In 2008, local emcee The Popper reminded Ron Ron "You're too tight not to do this rap ****". The Hey Honey breakout and a series of cult mixtapes followed, with his funny, playful, articulate and street-wise persona earning regular duties opening up for major artists touring KC.
Go get it
RON RON Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lives a life that isn't necessarily sunny
Likewise the man who works for fame
There's no guarantee that time won't erase his name
The fact is, the only work that really brings enjoyment
Is the kind that is for girl and boy meant
Fall in love and you won't regret it
Holding hands at midnight
'Neath a starry sky
Nice work if you can get it
And you can get it if you try
Strolling with the one girl
Sighing sigh after sigh
Nice work if you can get it
And you can get it if you try
Just imagine someone
Waiting at the cottage door
Where two hearts become one
Who could ask for anything more?
Loving one who loves you
And then taking that vow
It's nice work if you can get it
And if you get it, won't you tell me how?"
Just imagine someone
Waiting at the cottage door
Where two hearts become one
Who could ask for anything more?
Loving one who loves you
And then taking that vow
Nice work if you can get it
And if you get it, won't you tell me how?"
