June
Rjd2 Feat. Copywrite Lyrics

RJD2 drop that shit so I can drop my thoughts
I need the beat to start so I can express my feelings.

Driftin' away and depress all within listening range
When I express myself, it can bring people down with me.

Nah, but for real I got so much shit on my mind
I have a lot of things that I need to share and address.

From fake motherfuckers to my future I'm trying to get in line
I'm dealing with people who are not genuine and I'm trying to plan for my future.

And doing Hip Hop in this life and time
Being a hip hop artist in the present day has its challenges.

Ain't all nice and fine
It's not always fun and games.

At times I feel like my whole life's a rhyme
My life feels like a never-ending rap song.

Full of punchlines and jokes
It's filled with humor and wit.

Fuck-ups and punch-ins
Mistakes and recording do-overs are part of the process.

It's like I just can't get shit right
I feel like I'm unable to do things correctly at times.

The first time or somethin'
Even on the first try, things don't always work out.

When no one knows your name
Being unknown is challenging.

And your vinyl's still in stores
People can still buy my music in record stores.

Once you get a little life
Once you start becoming known,

Through arguing over who feels it more
People start arguing over who enjoys the music more.

We got sixteen-year-old net-heads buying garbage
Teenagers are buying music that is not worth buying.

Wanting to keep you for their personal private artist
They want to keep me as their own personal artist.

We don't do shit for the clubs -
We don't make music just to please the club scene.

It's for us 45's go RJZ archaeologist diggin 'em up
We make music for ourselves and for those who appreciate classic vinyl.

And I'm the saint sent {Saint-Saens}
I am a saint sent to revive vinyl and create meaningful music.

To vinyl when it gets set to bash
To make sure that the vinyl is handled with care and respect.

And it's for life until my final mic check is cashed
I will continue making music until I can no longer perform.

I can't fully become my mother's guiding light
I can't fully live up to my mother's expectations.

Till my dad returns to tell me what the other side is like
I need my father to come back from the afterlife to give me guidance.

I keep the things you taught trapped in mind
I remember and keep my father's lessons in my head.

I know you cared even though you weren't here half the time
I know my father cared for me but was not always present.

But who am I to blame
I'm not one to place blame.

I'd probably do the same in your shoes
I might act similarly if I were in my father's position.

I never held that against you
I don't hold any grudges against my father.

Complained or assumed
I never complained or made any assumptions.

You never went through what I'm living
My father never experienced what I am currently experiencing.

Hell who am I kidding?
Who am I to pretend like I know what my father went through?

Depression is practically
Depression is a common occurrence.

A part of family tradition
It runs in the family.

So I keep the time we shared close
I cherish the moments I had with my father.

It sucks to lose
It is painful to lose someone.

It also sucks we had to share the month of June
It's unfortunate that my father passed away in the same month as my birthday.

I woulda shared eternal time before I left
I wish I had more time with my father before his passing.

Each year I celebrate my birth
I celebrate my birthday every year.

I'm reminded of your death
My birthday also reminds me of my father's death.
