The People's Rapper, Jon Connor, is back with the latest installment in his Best In The World mixtape series.

02. Thot Shit

“Small Small” is Boak’s Ghana-tinged melodic trap EP. Warm baritone hooks and talk-sung verses ride piano, pads, palm-wine guitar touches, deep 808s, crisp hats, and subtle kpanlogo percussion. Themes: steady progress, receipts over talk, calm composure, roots. 

Chale No Play (Street Code)

[Intro]
Sometimes you lose yourself tryin’ to love somebody else.
But this one’s about rebuildin’, brick by brick, breath by breath.
Let’s fill that heart back up.

[Verse 1]
Been through the storms, I can feel that rain still drippin’ inside my chest,
Love used to mean peace, now it’s just a test.
She said she loved me, then dipped when it got rough,
Guess I learned that words cheap when the times get tough.
Heartbreak hit different when you gave it your all,
Now I’m pickin’ up pieces off the bedroom wall.
Every text, every fight, every night I cried,
Wasn’t just pain, it was proof I tried.
Now I’m facin’ my mirror, no mask, no shield,
Gotta learn how to love me before I’m healed.
I was diggin’ deep holes in my chest for others,
Now I’m buildin’ foundations that can’t be smothered.
It’s lonely when the lights dim down,
But that’s when real growth come around.
No more beggin’ for love from those who drain,
I’m fillin’ my cup again, drownin’ my pain.

[Chorus]
Build that heart full, don’t let it break,
Stack your love like gold, don’t let ‘em take.
You got hurt, but you still got soul,
Keep pourin’ that light till you overflow.
Build that heart full, piece by piece,
Turn your pain to peace, your loss to release.
Every scar you got, it tell your role,
Build that heart full, take back control.

[Verse 2]
Used to chase love like a check I couldn’t cash,
Burnin’ out fast, heartbreak in the dash.
Told myself “one more try,” till I couldn’t feel,
Love turned to war, wounds couldn’t heal.
But pain teach lessons no teacher could teach,
Had to walk through hell just to find my reach.
Now I’m stronger, no shame in the scars,
They light up my path like midnight stars.
Every time I fell, I built again,
Stronger bones, thicker skin, bigger grin.
Now I’m pourin’ love into me,
Into the ones who show up faithfully.
Ain’t about the ‘Gram, ain’t about no flex,
It’s about self-worth, respect, and checks.
If you ain’t ridin’ through storms with me,
You don’t deserve the calm that’s born from me.
So I’m cleansin’ my past, forgivin’ my sins,
Breakin’ old chains, lettin’ love begin.

[Chorus]
Build that heart full, don’t let it break,
Stack your love like gold, don’t let ‘em take.
You got hurt, but you still got soul,
Keep pourin’ that light till you overflow.
Build that heart full, piece by piece,
Turn your pain to peace, your loss to release.
Every scar you got, it tell your role,
Build that heart full, take back control.

[Bridge]
You ever cry so hard you start laughin’?
You ever lose so much you stop askin’?
That’s the moment your soul start growin’,
When the cracks in your heart start showin’.
That’s where the light creep in, my friend,
That’s how the broken hearts mend again.
You can’t fake that kind of truth,
Only warriors wear pain like proof.
It hurt, but it ain’t the end,
Love’s a seed, water it again.

[Verse 3]
Now I’m feelin’ that shift inside,
Ain’t numb no more, I’m alive, revived.
Every dark thought, I faced, I tamed,
Every tear I shed became my flame.
I’m done chasin’ ghosts in the name of love,
I’m buildin’ a castle from the dirt I’ve dug.
For every time they said I ain’t enough,
I doubled up grind, now I’m built tough.
Heart still beats, but now it beats for me,
Ain’t no void that I can’t fill with peace.
So when I love again, it’ll be pure, not fear,
Built on truth, not disappear.
You can lose your world,
But never lose your worth, that’s gold.
And if you broken tonight, just know,
You can build that heart full, let it grow.

[Final Chorus]

[Outro]
Don’t let nobody half-love you again.
You deserve a heart that’s whole,
One that beats proud, one that glows.
Build that heart full, you the architect of your soul.
