Part written, part freestyle.  Lyrics below:

I be on that next shit
Thoroughly respected
My real peoples crazy?
You bet chick
Damn near certified
But you know the system lies
Cuz no body pays attention 
To a motherfucka's cries
So a motherfucka cries at the top of his lungs
Ima take the whole shit, it's gon be my kingdom
Ima get a fly bitch, show her how the dog runs
Ima cop some fly shit, show y'all how it's all done
When it's all said and done, y'all be like where was he from
G-O-D by the way of New York City
y'all need to blow me for a seat on my committee
You ain't got your own steez, you be tryn copy Drizzy
When you get to know me, you gone see I'm more like Diddy
'Cept I keep my crew in check
Company in check
If you were in the industry you'd know just what I meant
If you was really real to me I care bout what you think
But you ain't cut a deal for me and all you do is stink
Smelly mottherfuckers messin up my potpourri 
I can't bring your ass to meetings cuz your vibe is never me
I stay pure and uncut
Ignant screamin what what
When I'm talkin like I got it, know i got that you know what
When they talkin like they got it, it's just STDs from sluts
People talk to me like why even try
While my mindset is do or die
I open my palms, it's light
Oh my God, like they like it
To whom: I've never biting
To whom: I'm doing my thing
And it's so damn frightening
Damn, I'm feeling like lightning
Burning when I strike
What's the deal with you?
The deal with me is, damn I'm that knight
standing in the white light
Doing my thing all night
To the day
What's good with you?
You so afraid
Why you so afraid?
Scared
Things that you ain't dare
To do
Why I care?
Why I care 'bout you?
Cuz I'm me
Jan Lucanus
Doing damage
I do it everyday
While you looking like a little sandwich
I don't eat no carbs, no bread, no grains
I'm on that next shit
I told you when I started, eat champions for breakfast
Shorty said I wouldn't score, now she's like I might
So when I blow that back out she be like AIIGHT
I like good girls that keep it tight
I mean one to five girls in like one night
Ride or die girls screamin out ON SIGHT
Bumpin Yeezus on a yoga night
Who keeps it sensitive in this rough ass life
Aries to the Capricorns
Gemini's with misty eyes
Got me going back and forth
I close my eyes to center mind
Still I'm going back and forth
Kill the bull like a matador
To get myself back to my source
I love hip hop, but never read the Source
It never made sense to me
Why buy a hip hop magazine
That shit is not hip hop to me
Music's either hot or not
There is no genre, never was
They try to separate the cause
Nah it ain't gone work today
This youth is about unity
And you know me
No vacay
work all day
No straight A's
I still ace
I straight lace 
And outpace
All my mates
Go to great lengths To make bank With my think tank and live free
You think about Beamer, Benz, or Bently, know I ride all 3!!!

This karma’s a bitch, I want to exist with no consequence
(with no consequence)

Throughout my whole life people would talk shit to me
Tell me who I am and tell me who I ought to be
I'm coming up now and they don't mean shit to me
Accept for the fire they fuel deep inside of me
(from these flames I exist)

My inner voice says tolerance is the greatest gift
Hard to tolerate when you really don't give a shit
I pray for the day I can say that I love them all
If I'm real about love then I have to forgive them all 
(for the shit that they did)

Throughout my whole Li-Li-Li-Life
Throughout my whole Li-Li-Li-Life

But how my gonna front like I'm not responsible

I create my life i create the circumstance
I will work everday to escape this karmic dance

See our friends choosing sides, it's useless
I remember all our smiles and cuteness
Feeling so upset, why do we go thru this
Who my gone blame for my pain?

You were the one who pushed me to this
You say the same, it's the same old game
Who my gone blame for my pain?

Petty pet peevs are my problems witchu
Cutting the chord, I will never miss you
She said she never came, glad I can't say the same

Blame for My Pain (single)

1/19/2015

Blame For My Pain (Produced By Sage Michael Music)

My first single from my comic book crossover album, "Heroes Culture".  Produced by Sage Michael and Davide Berardi.  Lyrics below:

Verse 1

It was one day, it was one time, it was only when you were by yourself,
It was only me, and it was only you but you never could understand your own wealth,
See I’m motivated by the things inside of me, - and everything you thought,
I knew it would drop uh I knew that it would fall off your shoulders, because           
you couldn’t carry the weight – you couldn’t carry the weight


Chorus 1

For the     longest time only ego held you back (Ima Kill him) 
What you do with all those evils on your back (Ima Kill him)
I don’t know about you      
I don’t really know about you Im motivated by truth
 I am motivated by truth (A-HA)
(Ha-Ha) I don’t know about you, I don’t really kno about you,
but I am motivated by truth, I am motivated by truth


Verse 2

uh-See when I come through,
I can only see,
 me not you,
Cause everything your doing
Is so  bullish
I don’t really understand, I don’t like it
So you know what? I forget that it even exists.
I push it to the side and I only live this,
My truth and my truth is love,
And that’s why everyday I stand above,
Everything your doing, everything your saying,Everything your living,
I really don’t care,
Im not giving up this, 
nah I am just doing it
Motivated by the lifestyle that I live
uh eh
Whatcho gonna do now,
When a man like me gets down
See I am only making sure that
When I invest my time, it is so so pure


Chorus 2

I don’t know about you, see I don’t really kno about you,
but I am motivated by truth, 
I am motivated by truth,
I don’t know about you,
I don’t really kno about you,
but I am motivated by truth, 
-I am motivated by truth,


Verse 3

Nah listen up,
The truth inside of me,
Makes me such a good listener,
See I look into your eyes,
And I feel the places that you need to go,
But I have to let you flow,
I can direct you to your goals,
Nah ima just be me, doing my best to help you by being me,
The truth directs me to be the illest one, That speaks with an inflection,
That’s just as sharp as my toungue
And I let it be,
The way that I could see,
The fire inside of me, Makes me like
 light
And I don’t know about you,
But I know im right
When I speak this,
This is my life I live it,
Give it like every single day,
So whatchoo gonna do when I dissapate


Chorus 3
I don’t know about you, see I don’t really kno about you,
but I am motivated by truth, 
I don’t know about you,
see I don’t really kno about you,
but I am motivated by truth, 
I am motivated by truth,

The time is now the window here,
I jump through it


Bridge

No
 I don’t know,
I just let the life flow,
Through me
This universe it moves me,
So I have to let you know that the truth is me

No 
I don’t know,
I just let the life flow,
Through me
This universe it moves me,
So I have to let you know that the truth is we
Ohhh ohhh ohhh ohhh


Outro

The time is now the window here,
I jump through it
I do it

MBT (Motivated By Truth)   Angelspit Remix

A song I came up with in 2010, I re-recorded it as a submission to Alicia Keys that a dear friend & producer was doing in Fall 2016 for her #NoMakeUp campaign.  Finished in March 2017, this raw a cappella song plays at 91bpm, and is meant for open-collaboration with creatives, DJs, and  producers.  If you make a remix or sample this, please tag me on social @JanLucanus.  

The deluxe single (available at http://now.bt.co/bundles/nomakeup) includes Logic X file, WAV, AIFF, MP3, and art. 

LYRICS:

To my New York City girls that don't wear no makeup
That's because you're real and you ain't like those fake ones
Girls around the world know I tango with chicks
That talk a tough tongue to lay they own bricks.

To my LA city girls that don't wear no makeup
That's because you're real and you ain't like those fake ones
Girls around the world know I tango with chicks
That talk a tough tongue to lay they own bricks.

To my Miami city girls that don't wear no makeup
That's because you're real and you ain't like those fake ones
Girls around the world know I tango with chicks
That talk a tough tongue to lay they own bricks.

To my Chi-city girls that don't wear no makeup
(Chi-city, Chi-city, can you say Chi-city)
That's because you're real and you ain't like those fake ones
Girls around the world know I tango with chicks
That talk a tough tongue to lay they own bricks.

Girl I'm talking to you. X3

(my New York City girls that don't wear no makeup) X2
(my LA city girls that don't wear no makeup) X2

I see you over there.

(my Miami city girls that don't wear no makeup) X2

We go out with no fear.

(my inner city girls that don't wear no makeup) X2

Keep it honest and clear.

(my Chi-city girls that don't wear no makeup) X2

I see you over there.

(my Detroit city girls that don't wear no makeup) X2

To my girls out in Rome
London to Bel Air.
I watch you stay in your zone
You're the realist in here.

To all my girls in Taiwan.
(if you don't rock no makeup)
Kenya to Tokyo.
(you don't rock no makeup)
That next level you're on.
(no makeup, that's cuz you real, you ain't on no fake stuff)
Is where we all need to go.
(no makeup, that's cuz you real, you ain't on no fake stuff)

To my New York City girls that don't wear no makeup
That's because you're real and you ain't like those fake ones
Girls around the world know I tango with chicks
That talk a tough tongue to lay they own bricks.

(my LA city, my LA city, may LA city girls) X2

You don't need to cover up. X5

That's cuz you're real.

You don't where no make up.
That's cuz you real, you ain't like those fake ones.

You ain't like those fake ones.

LYRICS

Renaisance man
I told y'all my plans
But you sneaks creased your cheeks and you said that I can't
Now I stand like a champ
and you hold out your hands
Then I smile, politley reply, like "Naw Dawg I can't"
If you didn't believe in me in the first place, you're not my man
Some people blame Jesus
Others blame Muhammad
I just give props to all paths
And cut skies like comets
Try my way you might vomit
It's too brutal it's too honest
To live the business
Be the artist
and have a heart that can encompass
Other artists that flow regardless of all your antiquanted shit
Avoid mundane-ness
like a zombie glued to TV
That's mindset would deplete me
Ima elevate and seek me
and if the industry reject me
Cuz I wouldnt stop beaten on it's doors stay beating on those doors im  
beating cuz my pours are excreting what is pure and the worlds gotta  
see me
Fuck it ima do it on my own
CIE is born
To nourish thoughts like crops in a rain storm
Bruce Lee said to be water - crash and be calm
So that rain becomes a river and takes us home
That faith is reinforced when i'm centered in my zone
See when my backs against a wall
I transute and I absorb
mold the world to what I saw
Mediiating in the fog
It's a mission
To absolve
All the karma
That I caused
In this life
And before
From the widow
To the wall
No more deceiving
No more cheating
I guarantee all lies will fall
Shit a grand lof I live it
Born with a vision
Boned lots of women
Then chose something different
Got a girl that's my Mrs
Shower her with kisses
From those kisses love we christen
Tho a lesser part of me misses bitches that would kick it
Me in media's like Christmas
It's a gift right from your wish list
My rhymes intrinsic to my business
need to research me to get this
Google me all reckless
Sit their looking breathless
All you see comes from my heart
set free from blood and tears and headaches

I know it's hard to hold a candle in this cold November Rain but my  
flame is burning true and I hope yours burns the same.

Renaissance Man (Guns N' Roses November Rain Remix)

Inspired by Jay Z and Wale, this is my remix of "Ambition" with original verses and a hook  I just had to get out.  There will be an original beat version as well, but it will be a sequel to this track, so keep an ear out!  Lyrics below.

LYRICS

HOOK
The world can't hold me
Too much ambition
I live my life the way I envision
The world can't hold me
Too much ambition
I been doing this like every single day
The world can't hold me
Too much ambition
This is my life, I'm on a mission.
The world can't hold me
Too much ambition
What I got inside you can't take away.

VERSE 1
It doesn't start with the hunger
Doesnt start with your mother
Doesnt start with your father
They may push you to go farther
But it doesn't start with no other
It starts with that secret
Something that most people find hard to take.
That unspoken secret
That you can achieve it
In anything that you shall partake. 
Most of my friends were fake.
Hanging with me from fear.
They couldn't be what they wanted
So they wanted to stay as near
As possible to a star
A shooting one at that
They disappeared when I struggled
Reappeared when I bounced back.
I see how this shit is.
Only out for themselves
I see how this shit is
Forget the hurt I felt
Stay focused on my biz
Even though my heart is massive
If I focus on my biz
I can help the masses
Yeah I got big dreams
And when my dream dies it's tragic
So I don't blow no steam.
Expel my words like magic.

HOOK
The world can't hold me
Too much ambition
I live my life the way I envision
The world can't hold me
Too much ambition
I been doing this like every single day
The world can't hold me
Too much ambition
This is my life, I'm on a mission.
The world can't hold me
Too much ambition
What I got inside you can't take away.

The world can't hold me
Uh uh ( repeat)
(X2)

VERSE 2
My weekends
All work and
No sleepin
I'm building
A business
From nothing
My Mondays
I'm up at
Sunrise and
New Yorkers
Move outta
My way when
Ten A M
I'm hitting
Those meetings
Hand shaking
New deals on
The table
Three P M
I'm lunching
While sitting
Designing
My branding
With graphics
Plus edit
My comics
My movies
My people's
Call me up
To hang out
Can't see them
6 P M
I'm teaching
Tai Chi then
8 P M
I'm boxing
My father
10 PM
We finish
Our workout
I'm off to
Freestyle
ILLsPoKiNN
Is hosting
I show up
I spit it.
Crowd throws up
Their Dueces
They choose him.
They say I
Got hooks and
New style
No losing
3 A M
Im calling
my lady
We talk and
She says that
She loves me
Plus she says
Her dreams are
All changing
Mine didn't
I hoping
No conflict
4 A M
I finish
my day And
I did it

DIY
Challenges
Push through them
They come up
All part of
My story
My come up
Sign myself
My label
CIE
My schedule
Created
My movement

(HUM OVER PIANO)

VERSE 3
The world can't hold me
Forget about the cold feet
If I don't do my thing I'm not real
I used to conceal my ambition
Cuz you didn't get my vision
Now all that's in my heart I reveal
And Ima keep walking
Walking down the path
That turn me from a monster
To a better man
As my vision clears
Forget about my fear
That love won't come to me
When its always in my hands.
Every human's eyes has the spark of the incredible.
Every good idea is from the womb of that magnificence.
And all of this is heaven sent.
Everything I say I do is true
And I boldly go where no one can hold me.

(OUTRO WITH WALE)
They gon love me for my ambition.
Beautiful music, paint a picture, it be my vision.
They gon love for for my ambition.
Easy to dream a dream but it's harder to live it.
They gon love me for my ambition.
