Sky's The Limit

[Intro: Jon Connor]

Good evening ladies and gentlemen

How's everybody doing tonight?

I'd like to welcome to the stage, the lyrically acclaimed

I like this young man, because he calls himself "The people's rapper", I like that

So everybody in the house, give a warm round of applause

For Jon Connor, everybody give it up for "The People's Rapper"

Jon Connor

[Verse 1: Jon Connor]

Let's talk about my nigga Lil Joe from down the street

The hood would tease him cause he had braces on his teeth

Wasn't never scared to say that was my best friend

Too keep it real that was my right and my left hand

Took me with him when he got his first kiss

He wanted me to see him

Because if he said he kissed a girl, nobody would believe him

We out on our bikes, shit sneaking every weekend

Ass whoppings from my mama

We ain't tell him we was leaving to Misfits

Always together, in the mischiefs

Fuck it, love the trouble, only made a stronger friendship

Then we got into it, fell out over some kid shit

Never got to say I'm sorry, that's something I got to live with

He always felt alone, parents was never home

And now on top of that one of his best friends was gone

He gave me my first mic, when I decided to write

He took his own life, I cry to sleep every night

Now who gon' tell me that success ain't come with a prize?

Sky's the limit

[Bridge: Biggie Smalls]

Biggie Smalls is the realest person in the game

The realest person, I mean

You would feel like, there's nothing you'd have to hide from him, because he's just a real, he's real, you know what I'm saying

You can tell me anything, and I can tell you anything

You know, I don't bite my tongue for anyone, you know what Im saying, I just keep it a hundred percent

[Verse 2: Jon Connor]

I say a prayer every morning for my nigga Mini

Shit, he probably believed in me more than anybody

I was always humble, he lived a lifestyle that kept him in trouble

Guess that's just the consequences of the life that we come from

Originally from Tennessee, country nigga, funny nigga

Ask him what he doing he go say: "I'm getting money nigga"

Always made me laugh, even when he made me mad

We used to write rhymes, I tried to lead him down a different path

Nobody wanted to get tough with him

And he'd see niggas if somebody fucked with me

Always in and out of lockdown

Couldn't get my nigga to calm down

Walking that tight rope, hoping that he don't fall down

The hood asked me when the last time I spoked to him

He sent me a letter saying I'm the only one that wrote to him

He used to say "I'll do better when I get out"

I remember, I got the call, I was sitting in Chris Webber's house

He find out his girl was pregnant, months later then he got shot

[Bridge: Biggie Smalls]

I ain't gon' front, [?]

Friends about to get locked up

It still ain't really, It ain't really hit me, you know what I'm saying?

I mean, when my best friend got killed it kind of shocked me up

But, it was like I didn't, I didn't know

I got introduced to drugs, you know what I'm saying, and the game and know I'm from that 9 to 3 period I can make by the end $2000

[Verse 3: Jon Connor]

I reminisce about my little cousin Jake

It ain't a day that I wake up that I don't wish I had him back

In high school, yeah I felt my shit was kind of wack

Was making even more, especially knew the words to all my raps

Back then I would call him when I write it

He would tell me if he like it

And we both getting excited, I'm getting better at rhyming

When we was little, he'd even try to rap with me

We in the mirror actin like Biggie and Master P

Shit, we was just fans

Cash Money, Rough Ryder, two we yellin' in the stance

Sean John Jeans-outfits, with bandanas 'round our head

Looking like the Hot Boyz, reciting every word they said

So I'm at Four Sales, I'm studying for a test

Stressed, you told me don't worry just do my best

The day I got off a break, was the day you got in a wreck

The day I was supposed to see you, the day I laid you to rest

Now tell me is it worth it, and is this really success, man?

[Bridge: Biggie Smalls]

All I can tell them is just keep trying, you know what I'm saying

Consistency is the best thing, you know what I'm saying?

As long as you keeping it real, and you keep trying

[Outro: Jon Connor]

Ay yo Jake

Remember when we used to rap Gangsta Gangsta by N.W.A?

I just worked with Dre and Cube, man

Life crazy like that sometimes, man

I miss you, I love ya'll
