J.O.Y.

[Chorus: Jason Rose]
[?] place near the hideout
You've been running for miles
I slip away in the tall grass
Joke’s on you
You let ‘em make it, they’ll break you too
The most plain perfume
Watching from a limb with the best view
Joke’s on you

[Verse 1: Copywrite]
I think my mom and dad’s
Death’s the worst thing that could have happened to me as a man (And?)
The best thing that could have happened for reaching my fans (Damn)
When they tell me “June” helped to get ‘em through suicidal times
It's kind of like we helped each other out ‘cause you and I are fine
And I remember when dad was the only one gone?
Thought I'd have to write only one song, but, boy, was I wrong
‘Cause we still got a lot of folks we've yet to reach
When we win the award but don't give an acceptance speech
Expect the Reap’ ‘cause death can creep when you least expect
This isn't a verse, it's my acceptance speech for your respect
They tried to slander me with fight pictures, but the joke’s
On you. They made Copywrite richer, Copy might hit ya
That's my livelihood. Bitter ‘cause they can't paint the rhymes as good
Caused me to get darker “Between the Sheets” than Ronald Isley could
Set ‘em straight. Life gives you lemons, you eat that lemon straight
Piss the lemonade into Minute Maid, let me demonstrate

[Chorus: Jason Rose]
[?] place near the hideout
You've been running for miles
I slip away in the tall grass
Joke’s on you
You let ‘em make it, they’ll break you too
The most plain perfume
Watching from a limb with the best view
Joke’s on you

[Verse 2: Torae]
The joke’s on you, the quote’s on me ‘cause I
Already tried to tell ‘em what I was gon’ be, but you ain't listen
You ain't get it. Y'all supplied my steam. You’re close-
-minded candy vision with their eyes can't see, and I can't
Be content knowing I settled for less, having
More talent than Khaled screaming, “We are the best” (“We the best!”)
Spending 50 hours slaving in a tie at the desk when I'm
Supposed to be on stage, rhyme-supplying the guests, but I guess
You got debt breathing all on your neck and got
No faith that faith gon’ be under your steps, and so
Your failure to accomplish start to turn to regret, and now
You jealous ‘cause I'm getting what you couldn't possess. Usually
I relish in my merit, but I choose to digress. You should
Be happy in your neighbor's harvest, you could be next. Some people
Laugh to the bank while others cry as they check ‘cause when
The joke is on you, would be the one you don't get. What a mess

[Chorus: Jason Rose]
[?] place near the hideout
You've been running for miles
I slip away in the tall grass
Joke’s on you
You let ‘em make it, they’ll break you too
The most plain perfume
Watching from a limb with the best view
Joke’s on you

[Outro: Jason Rose] (x5)
Down in the valley when the water runs slow
They only flow the day it's supposed to go
The wild creatures and the sky sits low
And lightning buzzing on the radio
