Gawn
GAWN by Kane Smego: Unleashing Wisdom, Defying Norms
Lyrics
Soon as they comin' for me I'm already GAWN
Immediate departure when faced with threats or challenges.
Bags packed GAWN, Google map that GAWN
Packing bags and using Google Maps to leave quickly.
Stamp another page in my passport, GAWN
Adding another stamp to the passport, indicating extensive travel.
If ya need to reach me hit the satellite phone
Providing a satellite phone as the only means of contact.
Soon as they comin' for me I'm already GAWN
Reiteration of the readiness to leave when confronted.
Bags packed GAWN, google map that GAWN
-Stamp another page in my passport, GAWN
-If ya need to reach me hit the satellite phone
-These trendy rappers say that they sick I want a doctor's note
Critique of rappers claiming skills without substance or authenticity.
Claim they bustin' clips never bring 'em locked and loaded
-Claim ya flow is tight but I notice that your knots are opening
-Not as dope as mom and pops had hoped an optical illusion you's an
-Awful lotta wasted movement for this movement, don't confuse it
-I ain't sayin' there isn't room for any new shit
Emphasizing hip-hop culture's historical significance.
But this here is a culture, not a get you rich quick scheme
-This means this thing's got a little history
-I ain't saying don't get money, that shit ain't convincing
Acknowledging the importance of making money but valuing content quality.
Even Michelangelo got paid to tag the Sistine
-Never knocking any hustle, Monica Lewinsky
-But dollars don't impress me if ya content isn't crisp clean
-Flows by the reservoir in my repertoire, grown
Describing a mature, wise perspective and commitment to one's journey.
Wicked wise, Wizard of Oz when I visualize roads
-Made of yellow brick, on my way to relevant
-Spittin' holy water at these devils for the hell of it, gawn
-Soon as they comin' for me I'm already GAWN
Reiteration of readiness to depart and travel.
Bags packed GAWN, google map that GAWN
-Stamp another page in my passport, GAWN
-If ya need to reach me hit the satellite phone
-Soon as they comin' for me I'm already GAWN
-Bags packed GAWN, google map that GAWN
-Stamp another page in my passport, GAWN
-If ya need to reach me hit the satellite phone
-A drop of dope squeezed from my jawbone
Boasting about artistic prowess, addressing haters, and highlighting unity.
And all the salty haters start to sweeten like Stockholm
-I never stop, No-way like Oslo, fresh chop
-The day grind, I rage on like Rondo, yep
-Sloppy rappers that train after like John Col
-You lolligaggin' I'm bodybaggin' a John Doe
-Mollywhoppin', karate-choppin' and body snatchin'
-And Cary don't care he flexin', but Durham and Raleigh watchin', y'all know
-I put it down for my city, who will if I don't?
-Yamazawa, Gunna, and Toon they got bravado,
-We just a bunch of rhinestones laughing at all the diamonds,
-Like why you acting bougie bruh? We got the same shine on!
-My lawd, I'm Bob Ross, you ain't Picasso
Comparing artistic skills to iconic painters and asserting individuality.
I'm hard, you gone soft, followed the flock so
-En guarde, new monarch, dame un trago
-Planning to go Soprano when I end it on a high note
-Soon as they comin' for me I'm already GAWN
Repetition of the theme of leaving quickly and traveling.
Bags packed GAWN, Google map that GAWN
-Stamp another page in my passport, GAWN
-If ya need to reach me hit the satellite phone
-Soon as they comin' for me I'm already GAWN
-Bags packed GAWN, google map that GAWN
-Stamp another page in my passport, GAWN
-If ya need to reach me hit the satellite phone
-Giving less fucks than ever, got that samurai stone
Expressing a carefree attitude, acknowledging love, and advocating growth.
Cold demeanor, older, meaner, now that I got my Josefina, nah nah
-I mean my Cynnie bun, I mean my pretty hun, independent woman
-That loved me before I rose my green up
-The rest were slower to show up than the folks at FEMA
-My Boricua-Mexicana, my promise keeper and she can keep up
-Crank the speakers, the road can teach, so to speak
-I listen up it's not the luck that makes the cloverleaf
-The more you grow in four directions fortune will unravel for you
-Forks up in your path detour you but you'll never be lost
Criticizing societal expectations, especially related to education and success.
If you ignore the maps that they hand out at all kiosks
-You know diplomas from the colleges that promise us
-The only thing that'll free us, a paycheck and a Prius
-A mortgage sure to help you with your monetary shortage
-I be the tortoise when it comes to chasing dreams some days it seems
-The faces at the finish line are caked with Maybelline
-It made me see that the race they got us running's just some make believe
-A smile full of fakin' teeth that really been laughing at us
-Laughing with em's half the battle, the other half's in the saddle
Recognizing the importance of enjoying life's journey and taking action.
So put your stirrups on quick, git gawn!
-Soon as they comin' for me I'm already GAWN
Final affirmation of readiness to leave, travel, and be difficult to reach.

-If ya need to reach me hit the satellite phone, uh
-Soon as they comin' for me I'm already GAWN
-Bags packed GAWN, google map that GAWN
