[Hook: JGivens]
Closed eyes, holdin' a nine
Stolen but I'm, frozen in time
Time drips from the monsoon sky
(Jumpman, jumpman, jumpman, jump)
[Hook: Asaiah Ziv]
Closed eyes, holdin' a nine
Stolen but I'm, frozen in time
Time drips from the monsoon sky
(Jumpman, jumpman, jumpman, jump)
[John Givez]
What are we doin', doin', doin'
[Verse 1: Asaiah Ziv]
Yo, what a morning, a good morning
Sister gave me a kiss and told me, "Son you charmin'"
Cause I ain't have a mom
According to this, got me warmer
My pops told me "I'll give you anything that you wanted"
I never had a job, so don't misunderstand
See, dad bought me these things I never ever had
That had no value or cost
At school I would floss
I bought some Roses and her favorite 4's
At highest ends, I had highest trends
Went to the mall to buy the latest 10's
That just released
Knowing that the kicks would crease
Or get a scuff in a week
It ain't nothing to me
This here ain't stunting to me
Leaving the boutique I peep the dude I haven't seen in weeks from far away
Yo, like "Why you lookin' at me crazy?"
Inner fear but my imagination never seen him graduatin'
Gradually approached me and then I stop
[Verse 2: JGivens]
Young and I'm reckless
Everyone got a necklace
My walk is like Rosa Parks when under arrest
Tired, my feet
For not a second have seen
Luxury
That patent leather Chicago silhouette wasn't me (among other things)
To get at your 'spective, I'm colder than Ben & Jerry's
This chrome that I carry jacked it from a cadaver
The back of a mobile home, broke the latch
Of the vehicle cemetery foot action do not compare me to they
A year or two ago today, 8th grade
I drew a cage, named it school and then flew away
Like an
Ostrich in moccasins, Coptic and then I blaze
They got
Expensive tastes and I think that my taste is laced
The cloudy climate consumes me and now the sky that's usually
Ultraviolet is gloomy a cool gray
Who is this fool, ay
Dude is afraid
Cause I'm eyeing at his ___ J's
[Hook: JGivens & (Asaiah Ziv)]
Closed eyes, holdin' a nine
Stolen but I'm, frozen in time
Time drips from the monsoon sky (whatcha gonna do)
(Jumpman, jumpman, jumpman, jump)
[Hook: JGivens, (Asaiah Ziv) & {John Givez}]
Closed eyes, holdin' a nine
Stolen but I'm, frozen in time
Time drips from the monsoon sky
(Jumpman, jumpman {what are we doin', doin', doin'}
Jumpman, jump)
[Verse 3: Asaiah Ziv & JGivens]
In position, my fists in my pockets
I felt my stomach drop and if I could just read his
Thoughts in my mind about what's inside his pockets
I drop my box and look away feel like he held me
Hostages testify when alive, they gotta
Die, if I do, Momma I'll see you soon it's been a couple years
I'm thinking 'bout your face now I ain't even
Scared as I hallucinate
Imagine if I graduated
That got me aggravated, this pistol is calibrated
Did I just hear a siren?
When he gon' start firin'?
His look is violent but it seems his thoughts are underminin'
Did he think this gunner was lyin' bout my assignment
Or my alignment, cool
See what this bullet do
Then pull it fool
Cause I got nothin' to lose
Take a walk in my shoes
(Shoot him, shoot him!
Oh, what are you going to do, call the police
Go, c'mon)
[Bridge: John Givez] (x3)
I feel money can't pay for
I can't jump so high
What are we doin', doin', doin'
[Asaiah Ziv]
Jump
Jumpman, jump
[Bridge: John Givez]
I feel money can't pay for
I can't jump so high
[Asaiah Ziv]
Jump
Jumpman, jump
[Outro: Asaiah Ziv]
I just wanna say, uh, rest in peace to those who didn't make it past 21 and I just hope that our generation will put the guns down and re-evaluate life and see what it means to live, yeah
