lirik lagu jet trawick – faded indigo
part i
[verse 1]
hi, my name is jelani, you might identify me
as the kid who won’t stop talking to everybody
as the guy who’s got a new joke for every topic
the kid you had to formally ask to stop talking
cause i’m trying to listen and you’re disrupting me
go and ask mr. leonard if he remember me
it was funny, wasn’t it? you’re so hilarious
and it’s awesome how you never get embarr-ssed of it
and you take it to such lengths where you get in trouble
and lose favor with everybody who came to love you
it’s amazing, you’re so brave, it’s so desperate
and he wonders why him and his “friends” roll separate
that’s a real sad case, hope he wakes up from it
but i doubt it, cause right now, he’s a real dummy
he was kinda promising at the beginning but
he threw it all away, he thought popular equals funny!
lemme see a funny kid like you make that money
lemme see a cl-ss clown try and flip his script
that’s a tall order for a dunce, probably
but i will not be seen with anybody acting like he is
who is he performing for, it can’t be for the clout
when’s the day that he stops it, maybe he lost count
when does- when does little jelani figure his stuff out
and stop acting like he’s a funny guy, cause he’s dumb now
when’s jelani gonna stop acting high and mighty
when under that, we can all see he’s not excited
to be alive at the moment, so he just wants to feel good
and make himself feel worthwhile cause no one else would
when’s jelani gonna tell another dumb joke
so everybody can understand he’s a dumb joke
he doesn’t grow, he just adds height, the dumb bloke
listen! i’ll start trying, right, now
part ii
[verse 2]
i been going through metamorphosis for the better
i’m more than jester, i told you i’m morphing all my letters
i’ll turn that c to an a and i’ll turn that f to a b
i ain’t tryna have n0body disappointed in me
especially myself
i learned a hard lesson that you gotta be tenacious for wealth
so if i’m tryna make a living off my biggest ever dream
better keep at writing notes until it’s turning into green
i been trying to turn my psyche around
i’m living for me, not everybody else in the town
i’d sit on the street, just tryna write my ideas down
and now it’s coming to fruition, where’s the cl-ss clown now
you didn’t think that i could do anything else in the world
when i was singing you just wanted me to finish
now i’m using every bit of musical knowledge that i collected
and compressing it, the brainchild, take it all to the limits
i’m often apprenticed by tyler, ye, k. dot, drake
jill scott, alicia keys, donald glover, and dre
way too many to mention in one sentence
the presence of all of the music i’ve listened to in my life was my best present
to say i’m never stressing is lies but i’d never change it
cause my only motivation’s survival, and being famous
i’m proving myself all little by little, my granted’s taken
yeah, i made a couple jokes but the intellect is on cambridge
future veteran, i wouldn’t think of quitting
cause i know somebody wanna hear the kind of stuff i’ve written
it’s not a hobby, it’s closer to an obsession
fully invested, i want to take art another direction
you want the old me? the one who used to sing in cl-ss
then turn around and wonder why i ain’t p-ss math
please, this is real life now, i’m a man, not a gaffe
and i murdered the version who loved hearing you laugh
