lyrics

So many go, where the music tells them to
So it's important to me that my music speaks true
They used say, when in Rome do like those in Rome
But that (that) was way (way) back (back) in the day
That (that) was that (that), and this is now (now)
Gotta get past the past, cuz it holds you down
Holds you back, but good things come to those
Who wait, or wait, is it those who don't hesitate?
Just be careful of where your kicks go, and when you pick the flow
Know your not the only one kickin to those headphones
I don't mean to preach at you, just bring it new
With words that hit instead of just the bass in treble to reachin you
Make you feel like pocket aces when all your pockets got is dimes
Never mind the kind of rhymes that never leave your mind
This concept might take some time, but I'm
Not the type of MC to leave a listener behind

I will go wherever I hear a musical sound
But if it's bringing me down, I'll just turn around
And walk away quickly, to where it can't hit me
Cuz I love music, but the good kind strictly
Country, jazz, rap, anything but rave
Cuz I like it when soundwaves know how to behave
Things can get just a little bit hectic
If you press play and get what you never expected
Melodic, symphonic, harmonics of screamo
Make you lose your mind and cry, like emo
I mean, whatever, you gotta live your dream yo
So I'm down as long as the tunes are clean though
Good music is good music whatever the tactic
But right now the world's playing musical tag, and rap's it
I hope your catching on to the jist of the song
Good music is good music, so sing along and let's


Let's:
Just go where the music plays
To where the sound rolls in like ocean waves
Just stay where the music stays
Where the sound shines down like sunshine rays
Just go where the music is
To where the sound is profound and you can listen in
To what the music is really sayin
That it's coming to your brain, through your heart on the way in

Bridge:
Just go where the music goes
To where the bass is low, and the MC's flow
Just go where you want to go
Thank God for I-Pods, take it on the road
Just go where the music lives
Where the talent is, and there are open gigs
Where you could hear an MC sayin
It's coming to your brain, through your heart on the way in

I go where the music plays
And the music is in me, so that's where I stay
I just want to let it out, flip the beat and get it out
Spread the word about, even if I have to scream and shout
Go to where good music exists
Times change, but this theme will persist
I insist you assist it's purpose
In earnest I just wanna bring it hot like a furnace
A good song needs a good tune, true
But a great song needs great lyrics too
They say, if you don't speak you look smarter
But to talk a lot, and still come across hot is harder
No doubt about it, you can't dance without it
And love without music, wouldn't have much romance to it
A man can not live on bread alone - yup
You need music too, so turn this up

about

Jonek Edmonton, Alberta

Jonek is an oldschool rapper.
He has been around for a looong time, but for some reason he's still kickin' it. He's more interested in being your friend than you loving his music, so come on over. I make a... ahem, I mean, he makes a great Chai Latte.

Peace.
