[Verse 1: Yonas]
Thou shall forever fascinate upon my art
Cause on a wall of legends I'm about to make a mark
And nothing is forever so before I dare depart
I give you flows like presents you can't wait to tear apart
Trayvon in a hoodie, that could easily be me
I'm looking at the sky, like "how evil this could be?"
Where's Jesus when you need him when we bleeding in these streets
That's why I pack a semi-auto when I'm speeding in my jeep
Shit is real when you're living in fear of being assassinated
It ain't an option no more, homie I have to make it
I see the ladies screaming, in the studio cheering
Cause these are million dollar vocals that they're engineering
I take a look behind me and I see visions of home
I take a look ahead of me I see kingdoms and thrones
I'm on this journey and I am my own opponent
Forgive me I'm just caught up in the moment

[Hook: Yonas]
So is this what you been waiting for
Cause the gangsters love it and the ladies do too man
I put this on my real life
I can't explain it, it's just something that feels right
Is this what you been waiting for
Cause the gangsters love it and the ladies do too man
I put this on my real life
I can't explain it, it's just something that feels right

[Verse 2: Logic]
(Young Sinatra)
Yeah, you know the deal cause really we never rest
Last night I was in the ER X-Ray to my chest
Palms sweaty, running the fever but never the less
I'm going through rhymes in my mind to relieve the stress
Come to find out the doctor said I have a throat infection
Not to mention, I got a couple shows this week
How am I supposed to hit the stage if I can't even speak
Second they knew what it was they gave me the medication
While the Rattpack smoking on Buddha like meditation
Then this homie Yonas hit me for a verse on this tape
I said, "Hell yeah homie, I got you with no debate"
So if my voice sounds fucked up, it's cause I never take a day off
World wide getting money like Madoff
So if this verse ain't the definition of ill then you're insane
Cause through the sickness, hell, pleasure and pain
Yeah, I'm married to this mother fucking game

[Hook: Yonas]
So is this what you been waiting for
Cause the gangsters love it and the ladies do too man
I put this on my real life
I can't explain it, it's just something that feels right
Is this what you been waiting for
Cause the gangsters love it and the ladies do too man
I put this on my real life
I can't explain it, it's just something that feels right

YONAS

YONAS was born in New York City during the Golden Era of Hip Hop. He became interested in music when he was 5 years old, and soon fell in love with rap.

YONAS' music is unique in that it blends Hip-Hop with EDM. Songs like “Night is Young” have a bass-drop in the chorus, while songs like “Set it Off” find him flowing over relentless, electronic pump-up beats. There are quieter moments too, like the introspective “I Could” and the storytelling “Be There”. His lyrics are just as electrifying as his beats, often utilizing internal rhymes and easily switching up flows to match the EDM-sampling beats, such as in “The Transition” and “One More Time”.

His first EP, The New Golden Era, came out in 2009, and since then he has released two albums, two EP’s and three mixtapes. In 2015, he started “Freemix Tuesdays,” where he would remix popular songs such as “Centuries” by Fall Out Boy and “Team” by Lorde. A new mixtape, titled The English Architect (named after a line from one of his songs) comes out in 2016.
