I feel bad for the next guy
And the next guy…and the next guy
‘Cause she will take your shoulder and lean on it
But take your heart and throw kerosene on it

Let me start off by saying this video hasn’t hit almost 40,000 views on YouTube for nothing. I think every guy can somewhat relate to this song –  you can really feel the emotion in his voice and the hook sends shivers down my spine. The visuals to accompany the music video adds to the chill vibe.  Ryan Kellie adds the perfect verse, while Kenton Dunson flows nicely over the beat. It’s about life and heartbreak – these notions strike a chord with every listener and because of this, the track continues to grow in support with the help of live shows, independent radio, DJs and most importantly the music blogs that aren’t afraid to support the relatively unknown artist. I don’t know what it is about today that’s putting me in the mood to listen to emotional songs, but anyways, thanks Jess Jonhson for sending the video over.  Hit the jump for the lyrics or to read more about Kenton Dunson and download his most recent project  “Creative Destruction 2”.

Chorus:
I never meant for your
(She said she never meant for my hear to burn
But when she’s on to the next she is not concerned)
It’s what I feared all along
(That’s when I start to realize you’re a fire starter)
I don’t want you to burn
(She said she never meant for my hear to burn
But when she’s on to the next she is not concerned)
It’s what I feared all along
(That’s when I start to realize you’re a fire starter)

Verse 1:
I just woke up from a hangover
I fell in love with a girl with a flame thrower
Had a lot of love that I gave over
Until she pointed it at me and said game over
But it was all good up front
Plus she was fine so she gets what she wants
Everyone’s obsessed, Everyone’s impressed
But I never should’ve messed with a devil in a dress
Why did she arrive in a disguise
I wish I would’ve known that she dissed guys
But how was I supposed to ask
She’s got more game than a girl supposed to have
I was head over hills supposed to crash
Now I’m in withdrawal and overdraft
Start to notice that the fire is in her
When everything is good then she will find a dilemma

Chorus:
I never meant for your
(She said she never meant for my hear to burn
But when she’s on to the next she is not concerned)
It’s what I feared all along
(That’s when I start to realize you’re a fire starter)
I don’t want you to burn
(She said she never meant for my hear to burn
But when she’s on to the next she is not concerned)
It’s what I feared all along
(That’s when I start to realize you’re a fire starter)

Verse 2:
I feel bad for the next guy
And the next guy…and the next guy
‘Cause she will take your shoulder and lean on it
But take your heart and throw kerosene on it
In case she wanna light a match, and matter of fact
When she lays game, please don’t sleep on it
I wrote a song and I put some 16s on it
When she skipped town and I heard he put a ring on it
And she was probably a 10 but she’s gone with the wind
Had to pause for a brief moment
‘Cause I was more focused than I ever been
But I couldn’t see the torch she was carrying
So you should never be the nice guy
Unless you want a broken heart like mine
Now I’ve got a couple things to say and I can’t fight it
Let me get it off my chest then I’m back quiet

Bridge:
I don’t want you to burn x2
(That’s when I start to realize you’re a fire starter)

Chorus:
I never meant for your
(She said she never meant for my hear to burn
But when she’s on to the next she is not concerned)
It’s what I feared all along
(That’s when I start to realize you’re a fire starter)
I don’t want you to burn
(She said she never meant for my hear to burn
But when she’s on to the next she is not concerned)
It’s what I feared all along
(That’s when I start to realize you’re a fire starter)

About Kenton Dunson
In February 2010, Kenton Dunson made the pivotal life-changing decision to let his passion to be a full-time music artist take priority over his progressing career in finance. A passion that stemmed from an instance 14 years prior when, at the age of 12, he asked for a sequencer upon first hearing the production work of the now famous producer Timbaland. Since that pivotal moment, Kenton spent hours each day crafting original music and broadened his musical experiences and influences by performing as a keyboardist and drummer in numerous bands of various genres.

While producing and writing for others, Kenton felt that his own vocal work, songwriting ideas and lyricism fit best with his own original music creations. He thus began his eventual transition to become a full-time solo artist. He spent weekends in various Baltimore hotel rooms recording his solo debut project, The Kenton Dunson Progressions, a 13-song, self-produced album of soul-tinged hip-hop and r&b that was released in June 2010. The album received solid critical-response in very small circles locally and on the internet but Kenton was not satisfied with retaining a reputation as an underground hip-hop/soul artist.

After experiencing the truths of a generally unsuccessful full-time artist, Kenton embarked on his second project entitled Creative Destruction, an unfiltered hip-hop album that illustrated the sacrifice and the journey of the ambitious individual and also included more assertive yet tangible musical undertones and arrangements. The album was released as a free download in November 2010 and provided the foundation for the success he would see in the following year with his third project, which would later be titled Creative Destruction 2.

When Kenton came up with the “Creative Destruction” concept for the first album, he never thought it would become a series but as a developing artist in a saturated music environment, he knew it was important to display what he had as soon as it was ready. The term “Creative Destruction” also began to take new meaning as he began replacing his old creative approach as an artist to build more tangible songs that would touch a wider base of listeners while remaining original.

Upon the release of Creative Destruction 2 at the end of June 2011, it was clear that Kenton had struck a solid balance with the album as it reached heights previously thought unimaginable with the number of downloads reaching well over 100,000 within little over a month. As Kenton stated himself, “Creative Destruction 2 is about more than Kenton Dunson. It’s about life, ambition, heartbreak and most importantly, passion.” These concepts struck a chord with each listener and the album continued to grow in support with the help of live shows, independent radio, DJs and most importantly the music blogs that weren’t afraid to support a relatively unknown artist.
