Feels good to be back man
UGH!
Coming live from the dirt road
Trailer park living in a circle
Made straight A’s was a nerd bro
All the fine h**s kept calling me urkel
When I grew my hair out it was worse bro
Sellin CD’s was my work flow
Hard times hit hard on my turf bro
Still I grew from the pain and the hurt though
But, Let me tell you how I grew up
Spoiled Lil n***a ain’t do much
Til I hit high school with my crew bruh
Played football so everybody knew us

Athlete's Foot sellin' new 1’s for the low low
Now I’m hot n****s sayin “I know bro”
Work hard on my own fly solo
I ain’t toleratin f**k shit no mo
OG’s telling me I’m so cold
Young OG straight from 4-4
1 south highway to Oco
Nee gym in the hood where they sold dope
South side cookout with the old folks
Two 10’s make em bounce like a pogo
Glock 9 in the whip on the floor board
Test me or my pops that’s a no no
Still gettin new texts from my old h**s
You ain’t want me back then
Think I got bread now you wanna cash in
Want it from the back end cuz a n***a rappin? Naw
I got way too many moves to make
These days I’m ballin like Mudiay
Stayed up the street from the Super 8
West side Crab Park we was super straight
At the park we be hoopin til super late
Me and my homies made movies mane
Saw me go hard on the field she claimin she knew me
Now she a groupie mane
If you coming from my city you a real one
F**k the other side dawg we don’t feel em
I came back to The Dub cuz it’s still love
It’s D-U-B til I die and it’s still love
If you coming from my city you a real one
F**k the other side dawg we don’t feel em
I came back to The Dub cuz it’s still love
It’s D-U-B til I die and it’s still Dub
Aww man all that grindin man

Pull up to the park on a Sunday in the southside
Let the people know what you been doin
Why they ain't seen you in a minute

I love my mama
I hate my mama
I hate the drinking
I hate the drama
My father cheated
And then you cheated
You started drinkin
I kept your secrets
I saw your weakness
Expose your demons
You started skiing
I didn't speak it
"You didn't see s**t!"
That's what you told me
Yeah I need you vocal
I need the closure
Used to be your baby
Feels like those days are over
Was hoping you could save me
But you ain't never sober
I remember you told me
To love with deep emotion
And when I needed consolation you were always open... shit
But nowadays. Ya closed for business
Your soul is different
I'm hoping wishing
We could see old beginnings
I know you know the difference
Cuz nowadays life ain't the same s**t got me so conflicted
I used to need her
And now she needs me
And all I ask is that you're sober when you see me
And if that can't happen... then I understand
All I ever wanted to was to give my moms a helping hand
I used to need her
And now she needs me
And all I ask is that you're sober when you see me
And if that can't happen... then I understand
Yeah...
When the liquor hit her system she took a different persona
It's crazy how I'm patient with everyone but my mama
A product of my parents, a marriage drowning in drama
Mainly due to the fact that my father was so dishonest
It's crazy how he used her disorder as an excuse
To entertain these f****n floozies and do em for his amusement
Abusing the heart of my mama how could you do this?
Beautiful how that bulls**t blossomed out of ya two lips (tulips)...
The worst part of it all? I ain't do s**t
Or say s**t. What could I do? I was they kid
And they did the best they could just to raise this
Boy to man a crazed kid amazing
Crazed kid amazing
To a man a crazed kid amazing
Yeah...
Yeah...
Taste the gin through her pores when I kiss her
She took daily dives in that pool full of liquor
She hit the slopes when it got too hot
And walk through that gateway into a brand new sp...
Yeah. I love my father. I adore that n***a
But I'm sorry pops I gotta drop more facts n***a
Like how you never wanted me. Let's explore that n***a
How you drop a seed then try to abort that mission?
Why you left my mama hangin? It was me she carried!
Not surprised though you did the shit twice already...

It's been a hell of a ride man
Yeah
Ugh
Cruising with my homies bendin corners on the south side
S**t feelin like 9-5
I'm high cruisin on cloud 9
Old heads showing love as I ride by
And my fam keep telling me it’s my time...
S**t it could be yours too
It starts in the mind transition your moves
Your views never be afraid to live in your truth
That’s true, But
You tryna kick it I ain’t got time
Bc my phone bling blingin’ like a hotline
All the while I’m writing hot lines
I’m never scared and aware of these n****s tryna stop mine
Remember when I held my first nine
I was nine. Oh my what a time
Spoiled lil n***a comin out the west side
Test I you get stomped out and that’s on mine no lie!
This is on my life
Things a little over on my side
Repping my city til the day I die
And I will never stop that is on my life
That is on my life
Things a little over on my side
Repping my city til the day I die
And I will never stop that is on my life
Told my n****s you knew better you’d do better
This a new era that’s new cheddar
In my coupe ridin through the ville (deville) like Cruella
Thinking of my dreams had to learn to pursue better
Learned from my past, how I last I move better
I’m too zealous
My ancestors like “you better”
Played my cards right and pulled a Queen I choose better
You too jealous
I lucked up let you tell it
Wanna throw shade on my shine cuz you failing
Mad at the world from the hole that you fell in
Like I said if you knew better you’d do better
Get it out the mud boss up to a new level
You lose all watching you fall ya crew’s bailing
Too tall with a smooth walk the dude's gellin’

In hip-hop it’s common for artists to claim that they rep somewhere right? Eminem, Royce, Apollo Brown, Slum Village, Nolan the Ninja and more rep Detroit. Dr. Dre, Kendrick, N.W.A and many more rep California and the West. Nowadays however I feel artists just be throwing out city names to sounds dope. Dublin’s Jah Jr. though with his project “Back 2 Da Dub”, Jah represents his home to perfection.
Let’s get this out of the way, first off, this should’ve dropped in the summer. This album is for the trunk, it’s for the hot summer nights at the bar, those summer holiday cookouts, that’s what “Back 2 Da Dub” is for environment wise. Jah Jr. is full of passion and emotion and it comes out in every bar. Through the first couple singles “245” & the vibrant video for “Front Porch” Jah Jr. puts everything on the line and truly stands by the good and the bad that comes with Dublin, Georgia.
One worry I had going into the album was that all we’d get are trap anthems. Jah Jr. goes a step further and actually takes us into what goes on behind closed doors on this album. My favorite track on here is “Lately” where Jah breaks down all the barriers and let’s us know how he came up and what his parents were like. This is driven home even more when Jah talks about the effects that this disconnect has on him now that he’s an adult. While the upbeat tracks have our hero with a celebratory tone, tracks like “Lately” pull at the heartstrings because of Jah’s vocal delivery.
Jah Jr. brings a little bit of everything on “Back 2 Da Dub”, the foundation of this though is Dublin, Georgia. I’ve been to Dublin in passing once, but this album carries a unique sound not just in the banging & disruptive production, but in Jah Jr’s blatantly obvious love for Dublin. 12 tracks deep where Jah holds the majority of the vocal weight really shows how much potential the Georgia native has.
