K.A.A.N. - Honest Lyrics






Pressed for time, ain't enough hours in the day tho'
So I just get high and lay low
A clock ticking, and every second is like a two minute warning
Tick, tick, tick (tick, tick, tick)
I didn't practice for this shit, I ain't prepared for it
Pressing forward, presence dormant
Flow off kilter but shit I'm still up on it
Right in the pocket where I need to be
I feel like Elway in '93
Tons of potential, I ain't got a ring
A lot of losses, fiending for a win
The underdog complex, it's either me or dem
I'm 'bout to drown in the sea I'm in
I got connected with the BPM like I don't even need a pen
I'd rather talk about the shit I feel
I give a fuck about opinions and who think it's real, for real
I never listen man, where it get me?
Out in California, driving in the Benz counting hundreds and fifties
And that's progression at it's fucking best
But they would rather see me struggling and stressed, settling for less
Still in the basement doing shit for free, my nigga please
That false reality identity ain't made for me
Made some adjustments so that I could live more comfortably
Ain't fighting for no false beliefs when they would never fight for me
Jumped up off the fucking porch, a nigga had to spread his wings
Yeah I stuck the landing and I soared, but that was self belief
It's too late to turn back now, I'm on this one-way
The first seat in first class, taking off on the runway
But most of these niggas got it fucked up for real though
You couldn't have walked a mile in my shoes, that's just not possible
You niggas don't have the damn fortitude to beat the obstacles
I'm looking around like what should I do?
Just keep it moving
No sense in stopping or pausing, this mind state is appalling
Like Pistol Pete, I went all in
I'm just shaking defenders, I make 'em remember
My heart done turned as cold as December
In terms of roles, I played the king and man these niggas is Simba
Mustafa the stopper, M'Baku with the way that I block 'em
Don't bring that bullshit 'round me, no
I cancel that like Nino
Am I my brothers keeper? Yeah you goddamn right
The only problem is that just extends to me, myself and I
Nobody else, I got myself, that's numero uno
And you would feel the same nigga, if you knew what I knew
If you done seen what I seen
If you done been where I been
I'm in the conversation like apostrophes and hyphens
These niggas getting amped off of yes men and hype men
But can't get your career off the ground like white men

I just tell 'em be honest, eh, be a
I just tell 'em be honest, eh, be a
I think I'm beyond it, eh, be a
I said I'm beyond it, eh, be a
I tell 'em be honest, eh, be a
I said I'm beyond it, eh, be a

    Bro I'm writing this comment because when you blowup I can say to my friends that I heard your Music because I love it and not because everybody hears it.✌️🏻

    Greetings from Germany

  10. m.... ....

    I wish he was on touchtunes so I could play him at the bar

  11. k.... e....

    Nah I never said to struggle for less. I said be a successful independent artist because all of the best are. Record companies will just sell your soul and change what you preach. Look at Sadistik, he's a very successful independent artist.

  12. A.... J....

    Damn, I've been out of touch with my musical side. This is and has been my favorite K.A.A.N song for awhile now. Didnt realize you dropped a video for it. This songs so dope. From the beat, to the sound, to the message. I love this one.

  13. T.... C....

    This is what underrated would look like wow man the industry aint ready for K.A.A.N. no contest

  14. l.... a....

    Oh and K.A.A.N. u gotta drop some mercy u know how many people would cop

  15. l.... a....

    Honest is my personal favorite from K.A.A.N. like he got them lyrics is a clean beat it hits the heart and just opens up ur mind in so many ways

  16. s.... s....

    I dont know why this is getting recommended to me now but this is lit

  17. M.... L....

    Blackyspeaks sent me and he didn't disappoint👏

  18. S.... Y....

    😎😎😎😎😎😎

  19. D.... O....

    This dude go off 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

  20. R.... C....

    Most skilled chef cooking up every overrated mc in the game over easy no questions asked. Yet he's the biggest underdog in the industry because rappers can blow up off nothing more than imagery and brain rotting lyrics. Music should provoke thought not hinder meaningful thoughts and replace them with negative ideals of drug use lust greed and vanity

  21. J.... ....

    BARSSSSSSS

  22. P.... ....

    4k video of kaan... gotta go do my business 💦

    damn my man
    holy freaking shit


    your time is finally coming
    hard work pays off

    �.... e....

    Still nothing to what he really deserves but like he said in most songs, he doesn't want the exposure just wants to rap

    �.... e....

    @Provolt damn right

  25. J.... B....

    this man knows his history

  26. S.... D....

    K.A.A.N. deserves to be rolling in a CLS, not a CLA. Why hasn't he blown up yet? Is it because he actually has a good voice? Because he has an incredible flow? If mumble rap and the voice of a throat cancer patient wasn't the current trend of hip-hop, he would be in the top charts right now. Right where he deserves to be.

    S.... D....

    Why hasn't he blown up yet?
    Because he raps, and doesn't have a label that pushes his music.

  27. E.... S....

    All day ones should be maf proud of my nigga seeing him pull up in the Benzo

  28. e.... k....

    DUDE IS GOD ... SALUTE KING .... KNOWLEDGE ABOVE ALL NONSENSE

  37. R.... B....

    1:52 I love the guy in the background looking like, hmm i don't know how i feel about this rap man's video. Get back in your prius dude.

  38. F.... ....

    the reason Real mfers get slept on is cuz there's a lot more fake fks then Real 1s.. Real recognizes real that's why K.A.A.N is a stranger to these turds!

  39. Z.... 8....

    I listen to all your music and its fucking bullshit how you dont have a bigger audience your honestly incredible and deserve a whole lot more the hip-Hop scene right now is a joke, us as fans off real hip hop need to get these underated talent out there for everyone too hear 100%

    Z.... 8....

    Real shittt💯

  40. o.... ....

    to be honest kaan is the best rapper i ever heard, those all lil pump etc. looks like thrashes

  41. T.... 6....

    A single verse from this song is better than one of lil xan's songs.

  42. M.... ....

    ONE OF THE SONGS THAT SAVED MY FVCKING LIFE, THANK SO MUCH FOR KEEPING FAITH & PERSEVERING❣ #REALRECOGNIZEREAL

  43. Z.... D....

    I've been depressed for as long as I can remember, and K.A.A.N.'S music is one of the only thing that's made me look forward to a artist's career and music. His music lets me just jam out. I just put on a track, grab my bong, and listen for hours almost every night now. It's an amazing distraction from everything wrong in my life. I'm happy to see that he's apparently working to dre and I look forward to that, and it gives me one more little thing to live for, I mean I wanna hear that shit

  66. A.... C....

    Honesty the camodity i got a lot in me.

    I remember 3 years ago listening to Whiite Lines.. Then it was Concealed The Outro. Then Mary Jane. And LTN. And Breathe..
    The adjustments youve made to live more comfortably is growth..
    Thank you for keeping that fortitude when the mindset is appauling. I know you quit reading comments cause they dont do shit for you.
    I have grown up listening to you.
    Youre like almost someone I look up to. Instead after a long day of life I can listen to you. Like Awayo I be from all my bullshiy. Youre music take me when it aint comfortable to breathe. When I'm angry, sad, or when I just hate me.
    Listening to you I get someone knows what struggle is like me. Cant wait till youre coastin' on top.

    A.... C....

    Feel similar Andrew, with his work ethic too, KAAN pumps music out consistently, it's refreshing. I personally wanna see more tracks like this, where they come full circle, this is a gem of a track, one of his best in recent projects IMO.

  67. i.... ....

    One of the dopest in the game. So slept on.

  68. Z.... Z....

    "I'm in the conversation like apostrophes and hyphens." Relatable

  73. C.... D....

  74. N.... L....

    He sold his soul at the end , people don't get millions of views until they sign that contract.

  75. d.... _....

  89. J.... J....

    you sound too much like drake. i can tell you practice over drake flows. great bars just gotta learn your own voice then you'll blow up

    J.... J....

    You dont know what you're talking about. Go listen to his other songs. Also there is no such thing as a 'Drake flow'.

    J.... J....

    Rahu Dios you clearly don't understand music. if you practice rapping or singing to a specific persons music you'll copy their vocal patterns & its extremely obvious that he jams drake religiously. Every song by kaan that I've heard I've liked however he sounds like Drake in all of em. he needs to learn his own voice. Also there is a "Drake flow" if drake couldn't flow he wouldn't be rapping

    J.... J....

    Real Street performance listen to this song then go listen to drake. They clearly have very simular vocal patterns. when I was learning to sing my teacher told me to practice to multiple artist cause if you practice to one you'll begin to sound like them, and kaan sounds like a great value drake. kaan got better bars however several times in this song its almost as if its drake rapping it. i can tell he practices to drake and you can say what you want but his voice proves me right everytime I hear this song

    J.... J....

    Real Street performance first off ima need you to stop acting like I don't know this niggas music, I probably know his music better than you do. and ANYONE who's ear is trained to hear music can tell kaan has the same vocal patterns as drake and if you keep playing ima come back with timings in this song AND others that sounds like drake is rapping it.

    J.... J....

    Real Street performance hell a good portion of his fan base comes from me playing his music at parties, I've done exposed 100s of people to this niggas music so ima need you to quit acting like I don't know this niggas music

  90. B.... H....

    🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

  91. g.... ....

    Thank you Dr dre you signed the best rapper alive Please sign K.A.A.N and make him better congrats K.A.A.N

  92. b.... ....

    dm me if u wanna work, I got dope beats

  93. L.... ....

    So sickkkkk 🔥🔥

  94. B.... D....

    Fast or slow this guy is unreal

  95. t.... ....

    Keep it movin’. Word!

  96. R.... F....

    K.A.A.N I feel so lucky to have found ya years ago when you mainly still used soundcloud. Songs like circles, Mary Jane, and Phoenix were the first I fell in love with and still bump to this day. The way your music has progressed is unreal. Paradise//lost last year really helped get me through some tough times. Such a relaxing playlist that was. Your only album I've ever not been a fan of was subtle meditation but hey not everything pleases everyone. Then you come out with the gathering which is straight heat through about the whole album. I know you dont read comments but on the chance you do keep it up man. Also PUT WHITE LINES ON SPOTIFY FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS GOOD.
