Johnny Cocoa | “11:11”
Johnny Cocoa refuses to let anyone waste his time in “11:11.” Coming off his new project, I AM WHO I AM, the song highlights the rapper/singer fighting pessimism with a can-do attitude. His animated delivery shines through his crisp range.
The slick R&B trap production perfectly matches the crooner’s relentlessness. As the lyrics show, honing in your passion and blocking out the noise will result in a prosperous life.
Mid-chorus, Johnny sings
“I can hear the money calling/I can hear my spirit calling/I can’t see my digits falling no more/Tell them niggas that I’m off it/Tell them leaches to get off me.”
Johnny Cocoa also reveals what he’s observed while climbing to the top. Someone’s true colors will show once great things begin unfolding for him. He also learned that no matter his status, people will quickly judge him based on his origins. But, he doesn’t let it phase him. Instead, the musician strives to “live in his purpose and empower his people.”
He sings,
“I did it on purpose look into the eyes of the evil/You burning with pride huh?/This here ain’t for purchase you won’t find nobody that’s equal/My energy high huh?“
In Johnny’s words, the proper way of living is to “stand for something or fall for anything.” So instead of giving in greed, we should put good into the world.
