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.
Broken Heart
Ron Ron Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From out of something bad came something good
I know 'cause I didn’t fall apart
But there is life after a broken heart
I can’t say her name like it’s just a name
Don’t have to keep her memory in a frame
I found that a brand new day would start
there is life after a broken heart
After every earthquake
there are aftershocks
it takes time to settle down
But thanks to you I found
I’m back on solid ground
You came and you changed things over night
From out of something dark came something bright
And here at last is the greatest part
That there is life after a broken heart
There is life after a broken heart

This positive outcome is the realization that he did not fall apart, indicating that he has the strength to weather tumultuous times. The chorus repeats the message that life goes on after heartbreak, and although the singer may not be able to say his ex's name just yet, he has found that new beginnings are possible after a painful end. The second verse underscores this idea by stating that a fresh start can begin at any moment, and the best part is that it can bring something even better than what was lost.
