about

Lyric Jones returns with more ear candy; this time with UK producer Giallo Point.
The multifaceted emcee, singer & drummer drops her new maxi single release, "Acquired Taste" which includes three tracks, one featuring Skyzoo!
Jones, accompanies the drop with a video for "Dusty Heart" which she says is perfect timing right now.
"This joint represents my spring cleaning in a way. My heart and spirit got sort of "dusty" and frustrated with the same ol same ole with the industry, relationships, situation etc. I wrote this joint a while ago but dropping this now symbolizing me doing some life spring and dusting; emotionally and with my music overall all...."
Shot in Los Angeles, Lyric gives us slight high fashion esthetics with the visuals and even quotes "Grace Jones of raps, facts the one and only..." yet still manages to keep a classy aura throughout while spitting bars per usual!

lyrics

WB cartoons ,youngin
with my bowl honey nut Cheerios
My favorite part was the intro
Try and take over the world said pinky & Brain
Funny cuz at a young age I had the same mindframe
Hamster in the wheel, symbolic of these past years
Going thru the motions, y’all see pictures But not my last tears
Outta gas here
Going nowhere fast fears
Hit 30 my anxiety hit the Dash, it’s weird
I see my growth but still feeling at a stand still
It’s hard to cope when your folks don’t understand the real
The dumb shit we do to pay bills
The not knowing
Just tryna do gods will and keep my rhymes flowing
Then i got clown niggas out blue lusting on me
Consistent for a month or two I started trusting homie
*got real comfy with me, moved west, then dude got phoney
Even strong queens ignore the red flags when we lonely
Had to remember I am muhfuckin L Jonesy
Grace Jones of Rap, facts. the one and only
Arrogant if my confidence meets ya insecurities
My rates went up, thank the last few for curving me
Hard to vent
When ya apprehension made sense then lack of Discernment had me ashamed to grab my ink pen
Can’t blame him or them
I get quiet
Looking at these left over pain pills like should I try it
Somehow I fight it
Many don’t though
My heart is dusty
what many don’t know
Now i don’t let no one touch me
It’s rare but The rain coming down hardbody
My Trench is Armani
But underneath is forever 21 still
Can’t wait to drop a stack on just one meal
And bless the ones that had my back while I been running
tryna cross the line scrimmage, touchdown are comings
With this it’s no rap acrobatics
No bar theatrics, just raw out the package
Sift through racket
Quantity low
But my quality overflows
Lord knows, I bare it all at every show
Overlooked, maybe I’m too professional
Left some impression so, now I move intentional
I turn features into US tour asks Rashia
Y’all standing behind closed doors like why she up
With ya feet up
I’m a decade in y’all should read up
Or maybe D up
I’m bout to re-up

y’all me fucked up
