rhyme and reason ft. Jon Witte & Toney Jackson Lyrics

Kickin' that rhyme and reason

Just what you believe in

Kickin' that rhyme and reason

They say sticks and stones can break your bones

But words can never hurt you

But the power of words is incredibly absurd

Can be used for either evil or a virtue

So I emphasize positive messages in my rhymes

Provide power so you can navigate trying times

Good and bad, love and hate these fine lines

The bitter truth or we can settle for white lies

When I share my pain, I do it to let you know

When you're going through your own

You don't have to be alone

I won't stand idly by

Indifference I don't condone

So there's knowledge in the lines

No ignorance in my tone

So if you wouldn't mind, please lend me your eardrums

And I promise you no reruns

Something fresh no matter what the season

That is the method of my rhyme and reason

Kickin' that rhyme and reason

Just what you believe in

Kickin' that rhyme and reason

Kickin' that rhyme and reason

Just what you believe in

Kickin' that rhyme and reason

When a word leaves your lips

Does it lend to the listener?

Tend love, exhibit a friend's love

A mission to bend evil in men

And deepen an understanding that lifts up

A care to square a prayer with Krishna

Or Jesus, when he teaches us to love with no filter

Suggests in all, our tongue, should never fall

Or let spill, too many hateful poison pills

We speak life with no intent to kill

What if I've been gifted, with a way with words

And to play, filling a verse

Could bless or curse

Pick a lane

That's what they stress

Am I messenger

It depends

In my defense

I need the message first

And if the message works

I'll put my name down flip and reverse

I don't oppose death, tip the hearse

For me if it's inauthentic in the moment then it feels coerced

I want it real cuz R/E's half the word

Kickin' that rhyme and reason

Just what you believe in

Kickin' that rhyme and reason

Kickin' that rhyme and reason

Just what you believe in

Kickin' that rhyme and reason

Look, listen I admit it

I make a lot of mistakes

I fall behind in the race

I end up hiding my face

Wondering why, whatever the time and the place

I learned it gets better, I decided I'm gonna wait

I'm thinkin of the

Rhyme and the reason alignin'em meaning

I'mma figure the what and the why and combine'em

I mean my mind ain't meanin to lie

I write what I find that I'm needing to speak

When I'm feelin the need to speak on what I believe in

I mean it

And even if it ain't a reason the vibe defines

So many try to hide our light when it's time to shine

No

No more blockin the light

You could sharpen the knife or just be stoppin the fight

But you choose

The pen is mightier defend and fight for the right to open your mind

You might just expand your why to a new view

See that's life right, we live and we learn

I'm like, That's enough of a reason to rhyme right

Kickin' that rhyme and reason

Just what you believe in

Kickin' that rhyme and reason

Kickin' that rhyme and reason

Just what you believe in

Kickin' that rhyme and reason

Tomorrow I won't be the same

I am just a work in progress

It doesn't break my heart for me to change

But I just want to have a reason for what I say

Tomorrow I won't be the same

I am just a work in progress

And it doesn't break my heart for me to change

But I just want to have a reason for what I say

Kickin' that rhyme and reason

Just what you believe in

Kickin' that rhyme and reason

Kickin' that rhyme and reason

Just what you believe in

Kickin' that rhyme and reason

Kickin' that rhyme and reason

Just what you believe in

Kickin' that rhyme and reason

Kickin' that rhyme and reason

Just what you believe in

Kickin' that rhyme and reason
