Hit Song - Jahneration

They want me to make a hit song

Please gimme the recipe

Putting the right food in the cooker’s a necessity

Eyes wide open when I wander in the city

Got the vibe, the skills, the flow, prolly not the chemistry

Ain’t no fate, hard-work only will pay off

Yeah pulling all-nighters might be the only tradeoff

Passion and tenacity are what my dreams are made of

Let’s try, fuck it if I’m way off

Man I’m loving Art in its purest form

Long before that you was born

Money the newest norm

Suit and ties and uniform

Ambiguous times, tryna make it through the storm

All I wanna do is to perform

God bless me coz at least I’m still doing the things I love

Sometimes I really miss my telly and my beers

I’d rather stand still but I have to pay the bills so

Gotta make a Hit Song

Tell me how the beat sounds, yeah

We’re seekin a diamond day to day

And try, we try

Trying to make a Hit Song

Tell me how the beat sounds, yeah

Is it a senseless game to play?

Try, try

Ah me say Theo pon the mic

Unno ready fi di ride

Mi di pilot a the bike out deh

Me go wherever me like

Holy Father a mi guide

And make di whola wicked hearted go away

But one ting him never gimme, no

Me coulda go a London, Kingston or Tokyo

Cyaa find nuttn but me close to the goal enuh

Me know me haffi do me ting but

What me waan fi know is

How did Shaggy write «it wasn’t me »?

How can I make history like Marley?

How did dem all do to find dem melodies?

Did di whole a dem know?

How to make a Hit Song

How to make a beat sound, Yeah

Caa we seeking a diamond day to day

And try, try

Trying to make a Hit Song

Tell me how the beat sounds, yeah

Is it a senseless game to play?

Try and try

The future’s not turning out how I thought it would (I thought it would)

Got dreams of the Grammys and smoking grass in Hollywood (in Hollywood)

But I feel like I’m always chasing shadows after all

Don’t want to waste my time living a life without a goal

Mi haffi keep in mind seh mi army never go lef me

Gimme the energy and tell me seh me gifted

Dem say dem love bad dis ya likkle something

Say me nah fi follow no man and keep it authentic

Even though me shouldn’t bother with the fame and spotlights

Still I know that I
