"Nobody needs to write a bio for me. This… Read Full Bio ↴In the words of SAINt JHN:
"Nobody needs to write a bio for me. This is stupid. My name is SAINt JHN, that's my real name, it's spelled a little different tho. I'm from Brooklyn, I spent half of my childhood growing up in Georgetown, Guyana. I was dirt poor in Brooklyn and some version of rich in Guyana, because apparently 2 nickles can buy you a sports car in a 3rd world country. Who knew?! I'm from a SUPER Christian household where my mom forced us to go to every church imaginable, EVERY, SINGLE, WEEK! I hated it. I still won't go to church to this day. I'm a product of a father that was a hustler, preacher for a mother and a rapper for an older brother. Jay z and Beenie Man were my musical hero's growing up. I don't know how to describe the music I make, don't know what genre it belongs to and I don't exactly care. I make what I want to hear and paint the pictures that I want to see in the world. I got my start writing songs for other people, I got lucky I don't know how that happened but I did. I wrote some records for Usher, Kiesza, Gorgon City and a few other people. I was having success, but then I quit, cause who wants to live their dreams through someone else's eyes. So I put out my first project, Collection One. And here we are now, I hope you like whatever comes next cause I have no fvcking idea!"
SAINt JHN has since released his third studio album "While The World Was Burning".
Reflex
SAINt JHN Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Picture me with the fifth of Henny, something foreign
Picture me ridin' 'round here with a Benzo
Picture me blunted with the tints on the window
You could see by the looks of it I got the feelin'
I told them bitches I'm something they should believe in
I told my mama they can't reach me, hit the ceilin'
Baby this is just the beginning, it's preseason
Gotta go and get it, that's the reflex
I know you can tell the winners by how we flex
I ain't playing with theses niggas, ain't no recess
Next time I look around nigga way up, way up, way up, way up
Only bad bitches 'round here
I swear it's only bad bitches 'round here
I mean it's only real niggas 'round here
You know it's only real niggas 'round here, I said
Only bad bitches 'round here
I swear it's only bad bitches 'round here
I mean it's only real niggas 'round here
You know it's only real niggas 'round here
Picture me speedin'
Picture me rollin' something up to chase the demons
Ah that Cohiba really helped me slow the breathin'
You see these niggas round me they all pledge allegiance
I never change for nothing, nigga that's some true shit
I got a mil', you got a mil', that just some crew shit
They trying to stay afloat, I'm trying to build a cruise ship
I spent a half a decade working on the blueprint
Ay boy we 'bout to hit the pot of gold
Gotta and go get it that's the reflex
I know you can tell the winners by how we flex
I ain't playing with theses niggas ain't no recess
Next time I look around nigga way up, way up, way up, way up
Only bad bitches 'round here
I swear it's only bad bitches 'round here
I mean it's only real niggas 'round here
You know it's only real niggas 'round here, I said
Only bad bitches 'round here
I swear it's only bad bitches 'round here
I mean it's only real niggas 'round here
You know it's only real niggas 'round here
I, been getting too fucking drunk nigga
High, been getting too fucking blunted lately
I just keep true, share one with you
Blame, that liquor but it's how the world made me
I, been moving too fast I need to slow down
Said, too many things that I shouldn't have said
Hey, just point out anywhere you want to go now
Now, I swear these niggas don't know what it takes
Only bad bitches 'round here
I swear it's only bad bitches 'round here
I mean it's only real niggas 'round here
You know it's only real niggas 'round here, I said
Only bad bitches 'round here
I swear it's only bad bitches 'round here
I mean it's only real niggas 'round here
You know it's only real niggas 'round here, I said
