about

‘Born in a Barn’ sees Dublin rapper Flynn Johnson address the act of ‘leaving the door open’ in relationships. Backed by a smooth, Neo-Soul groove, the rapper creates depth with philosophical rhymes and introspective storytelling, showcasing a range of emotions from apathy to aggression as he searches for closure.

lyrics

[Verse 1]
Yeah, yeah
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Elegant sauce, said what we tellin’ ‘em Odd?
(Said what we tellin’ ‘em Odd?)
Wave and a whistle off the Jäger and minerals
Sway to the crib drunk, ‘fore the pavement’s my pillow
Tops of my fingers starting to chafe from the skin rubs
Get to the door, she swings it, arms in the shape of a symbol
Infinite, ugh
Why would I want scraps when there’s a grade A steak in the fridge? Look
Don’t give me all of that when you’re in my face is when you grill something
How do you expect me to explain with the hiccups?
Like I don’t know who Jade is, ya skit, but
We were taught and raised to enforce the claims
Cause the floor’s to blame when we slip up (when we slip up)

These open sores from shaving aren’t from normal grazes
Just a chore to face what’s in the mirror
These four walls are my mates so I gave them a fist bump
Cause you haven’t got off me back since I changed my position
Why don’t you arch it all and just forget the excavation of digged dirt
It’s ancient, what’s it worth?
It’s ancient, what’s it worth?
I heard her say

[Hook]
So long, so long
Let’s see when you knock, knock, who the joke’s on, joke’s on (joke’s on, yeah)
So long, so long
The key’s in the lock, you got what you hoped for, closure
And I’ll make sure that motherfuckin’ door gives ya
A head start to the barn you were born in, yeah
So long (so long)
So long (so long)
So long (so long)
So long (so long)

[Verse 2]
State is abysmal
Faith in peripherals
I bring nothing to it, it’s easy for the table to be flipped, love
No Johnny when I blew it, that’s why she’s praying for a big pull
But at least I keep it 100 like a lengthier cig does
Patience has been run
Halo just sits crooked
Angel is corrupt since laying with devils
Investigate the window cause the label is insurance
Pain in her lips hurt, it’s contagious
I’ve a filthy dirty cold sore on my lip
It’s just another bump in the road
I’m a ghost that walks among the living
Who’s just an uncomfortable soul

Walls are my mates so I gave them a fist bump
Cause you haven’t got off me back since I changed my position
Why don’t you arch it all and just forget the excavation of digged dirt
It’s ancient, what’s it worth?
It’s ancient, what’s it worth?
What’s it worth, yo?

[Hook]
So long, so long,
Let’s see when you knock, knock, who the jokes on, jokes on
(Who the joke’s on, yeah)
So long, so long
The key’s in the lock, you got what you hoped for, closure
And I’ll make sure that motherfuckin’ door gives ya,
A head start to the barn you were born in, yeah
So long (so long)
So long (so long)
So long (so long)
So long (so long)

(Yeah, so long)
(So long, so long, so long, so long)
(So long, so long)
(Yeah)
