Come On - Ego Ella May, Kojey Radical

Sit down to watch me here

And the record comes on called don kennedy

Something he said really stuck to me He said, «if you don’t know my name by now

I ain’t working hard enough»

And I got off the chair and went to my bed

As I calmed down, the next thing I knew I was out of my head

Talking to a man with skin soft like carton

And when the tone so low I had no choice but to listen

He said, «come on, come on, you know you got something»

«come on, come on, there’s work to do»

«come on, come on, don’t make the people wait»

«come on, come on, get over you, it’s more than you»

I wallowed in self-pity for too long

Wanted to be noticed but had nothing going on Longed to be heard, compared myself to others

Which I know it’s so absurd, still, I found it getting worse

And that, he said to me, I did to name your art

Ella fitzgerald for me, I did it for the world to see

You were in your own league, but you gotta put the work in Focus on your dream

Come on, come on, you know you got something

Come on, come on, there’s work to do Come on, come on, don’t make the people wait

Come on, come on, get over you, it’s more than you

If you don’t know my name by now, I ain’t working hard

If you don’t know my name by now, I ain’t working hard

If you don’t know my name by now, I ain’t working hard enough

Hard enough

If you don’t know my name by now, I ain’t working hard

If you don’t know my name by now, I ain’t working hard

If you don’t know my name by now, I ain’t working hard enough

Hard enough

I see mothers limping home from graveyard shifts

Shutters rising before the sun

This is me, I forecast my history embedded on the pages

My nieces and nephews might read

I’ve yet to see a reflection with more potential

Yet I’m circle driven by comparing my successes to others

Beginners luck

You couldn’t begin to roam around the kingdom that I plan to construct

My heart whispers, «come on, come on»

While standing on a mountain, screaming to a thousand and one

Hoping that if I change the lives of any then we’ve already begun

To inspire and light fires in these daughters and sons

Willing to persevere through pain

So that one day they might feel the touch of their passion tumbling, embrace

I was born to be a legend, I say it because I mean it

I’d rather sound conceited before sounding defeated

Live forever
