Jon Bellion - Cautionary Tales Lyrics

Does anyone know the piano riff at around 2:10

The cautionary tale of September 14th 2017

Who is the girl at the end doing the runs?? She is giving me life!! I've heard her on a couple more of his songs but I can't find her name anywhere for credit.

This song makes it sound like you knew The Big Bang is gonna be part of my new religion... plus my pen game top gun, I can honestly say it's probably the best sword in the universe. Science + psychology + spirituality + more (;

This is so godly 🔥

Been needing to hear something that I can feel on every level ✊🏽 so I came to you, thank you 🙏🏽

THE KING, THE LEGEND!

I'm absolutely entranced by the bassline in the chorus.

This is the best Jon Bellion song. I don’t know what it is, but I love everything about this.

Had the honor of hearing this absolute masterpiece live. What a night

Yo is that Will Smith in the chorus

that synth line at the end though.. DAMN!

but they talk about his verses in the night sometimes...

Jon!
You always have my heart with your songgs. Love ya! 💕

The bass line in this go off 🔥🔥🔥

Verse 1: Jon Bellion]
Heard he was born as a beast and a ghost
On the East of a coast, where they eat you for jokes, uh
I know a guy who said his mom knew a man
Who's mother’s sister saw him in the mall one time
Heard he was high and he rode to the sky
And it opened and God played a song he recorded
He wrote it down
But he only play the record for his wife sometimes
Heard he survived, on an island with Vikes
That provided with Valkyrie, sirens, and pirates
Don't know the guy, yeah uh
But they talk about his verses in the night sometimes

[Chorus]
Big reign, the sixth, the seven
Hey hey, the King, the Legend
Bang bang, the truth, the weapon
Hey hey, the King, the Legend
Big reign, the sixth, the seven
Hey hey, the King, the Legend
Bang bang, the truth, the weapon
Hey hey, the King, the Legend

[Verse 2: Jon Bellion]
Heard he was formed from the lights that are Northern
The rock that's above, though he once got an offer
From Lucifer’s daughter to bow to the gods
So he keep his verses sharper than a knife sometimes
Heard he was worn, not a hero that's torn
Between fame and adornment and loses his sword
So he shot the fame down
But he keep a mask on him if the sign's in the sky
Heard he was happy so no one could gas him
Or force him to dance like a monkey for access
He loves his life
But he keep a pen sharp enough to write one time

[Chorus]
Big reign, the sixth, the seven
Hey hey, the King, the Legend
Bang bang, the truth, the weapon
Hey hey, the King, the Legend
Big reign, the sixth, the seven
Hey hey, the King, the Legend
Bang bang, the truth, the weapon
Hey hey, the King, the Legend

[Bridge: Jon Bellion]
He struck down gods that he killed and armies
Stood up on top of a hill of bodies
It was never enough, he just needed saving from himself
Put up both hands, made the lightning come down
Rep got so big that it blocked the sun out
It was never enough, he just needed saving from himself
It was never enough, he just needed saving from himself
It was never enough, he just needed saving from himself

[Outro]
The King, the Legend
Himself
The King, the Legend
The King, the Legend

Am I the only one who cannot count the verses properly

Tbh the chorus like Will Smith

"And it opened and GOD played a song he recorded" Later... "He struck down GODS" *Visible Confusion*

Bro once Jon said that this track was inspired by rage against the machine

THE CHORUS IS FUCKING GOLD I AM DYING AS WE SPEAK

Jon bellion is brilliant.

I swear with All I believe in, this is the best album I've heard in my life....

Who came after the Glory Sound Prep documentary

This sounds like the music they would use in Devil May Cry 5

the sound on this song is so crazy

quality fucking song if ive ever heard 1

Does anyone else see a face in the album art?

*The king, the legend*

Did Chance copy Jons 'It was never enough' in Same drugs, it sounds the same?

Loving the lyrics and melody after 2:00

Man your penmanship on this masterful.

Jon, we demand a music video for this song. 😂

YOU thought baby Rillas were gonna be SAFE

Ok, I'm sorry for posting this, but...this sounds like it's telling the tale of the dovakiin. Sorry, I had to. Hate if you want.

This. This is the song that's been in my head all day. Yesterday it was Jungle. The day before it was Ungrateful Eyes

I just learned the chorus didn't have Will Smith on it and i'm honestly kinda sad :(







But fuck it. It still bangs

That drop!!

My favorite song on this album.
Outro city bitch..outro city bitch..all up on your ears bitch...

Like Mahs joint outro...just mad!!!

We need jon bellion’s music in the next spider verse movie

My Favourite Off The Album

Your ass

Contratulatoins 😎

I like to think that this song was about how gospel singers give up their faith and sell their souls for the fame. What do you guys think?

Jon Bellion late night jams anyone?

One of my favorite songs this year.

When u are so good that u can change your voice and make everybody believe its will smith singing the chorus

When you come from watching the Genius interview to just be shook that it’s not Will😳 this guy is a wizard!

When you realize it's not actually Will Smith

yo this shit fire

The KING the LEGEND!

Jon has to be trolling. There’s no way that’s not Will. lol.

Just watched Genius....

Confirmed......


NOT Will Smith....

I don't believe that it isn't will smith!! IT IS WILL SMITH!!

Myth busted!! Will Smith is not on the album. Go check Jon Bellions interview with Genius. He mentioned he’s not on it but they did see each other in the Bahamas and Jon showed him the album

Comin back to just be in awe about Will Smith actually not being on this record 😭😭😭😭

Coming back to the song after the Genius Interview reveals its not actually Will Smith... Doesn’t even sound like him anymore loll

Still love it tho.

Here after Jon's "Genius" interview....that's not Will Smith y'all....that's Jon's voice manipulated.....gotta say I'm not 100% convinced because Jon even said in the interview that Will liked the album and had to stop before he was forced to be added to the album. We may never know folks.....

I saw the interview too and I was disappointed that it wasn't will Smith but also surprised that it was Jon this whole time but listening to the song again I just can't really imagine Jon singing that part It instantly makes me think it was will Smith but who knows

Pamaj was gonna use this song for his Montage, he didn't. Sorry yo

master piece

Will Smith, bitch..I am feeling legendary...

But who is the girl lol

Yeah it is will smith

Yaa thats hot. Ooh that's hot

Ahhhhh haw, das hot, das hot

Yaaaahhhh, it’s rewind time

That chorus gave me goosebumps like wtf it's Soo good

I'm a huge Jon Bellion fan, been to 3 of his live shows, loved every single album he's ever put out, every single single as well, but this album to me - is not his best. I used to love how melodic and catchy all his produced songs were, his use of vocals for percussion, certain oo's and ah's on off beats, etc. It's sort of how my mind produces and thinks of music. This album to me was a lot more similar to present day music, with over produced HEAVY chord progressions in a repetitive fashion, he also appears to rap more on this album, which I enjoy a lot, but his voice is what really makes him unique to me. I'm prepared for the hate, but as the biggest Jon Bellion fan in the world, I can barely say I liked one song on this album, which is Blu and maybe Stupid Deep.

Isn't this song abt king David

Love that he has JD Mccrary on here at the end, and these lyrics, don't think most people realize how lyrically amazing Jon is....wow

Video played at 1.25x speed automatically for me from the last vid i was watching and didnt realize until the end but this song is still fire in 1.25x just saying 🔥🔥

Everybody talking about Will Smith and I just wanna know who was that singing at the end

jd mccrary 💛

@Kristen Chesek thanks

anyone know the chords to play this on guitar?

I feel like this song is set after kingdom come. The lyrics give me that vibe.

WHHAATTTT??????????? AMAZINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG GOOOOD

Come to England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿!!!

You’re putting out music for millions of souls to vibe to & I honestly respect that💙

You cute b :)

oToxiccc awe, thanks 😅💗

@Daniela Gamez anything for a girl like you ☺💓

Percy Jackson?!?! Lol jk

Would love to see a "making of" on this song, it would be beastly!!! :D

i can't physically handle how FUCKING BEAUTIFUL Jon's music is

who is hitting those high notes tho???

The chorus ain’t will smith lol, it will be travis mendes

it is. it's on instagram

An animated version of this, like what he did with Luxury, would be too fucken sick. Am I wrong?

I really hope there was a behind the scences for this and JT

Idkw, but at 2:05 it reminded me of glitch mob - Carry the Sun

Ok this song literally gave me goosebumps and like an out of body experience. I'm on listen number 5 now I think. I listened and skipped this the first time the album dropped. I didn't like the energy in it.. Now I know why... You just ripped my mask off from myself. My blind spot! GOD THANK YOU!

He just needed saving from his self.... Fuck man.. . . This song is my soul. Thank you Jon.

1.25 speed seems interesting

Will Smith bitch, I am feeling legendary.

was that a will smith feature or just a sample?

THE LYRICS ARE BETTER THAN EVERYTHIING OMG
A GENIUS!!!

THE KING THE LEGEND!
