about

Inspired by Lyfe Jennings, “Must Be Nice”, Jah Jr. finds the right words to sooth those who need this message.

"Even though they say we movin’ wrong
We go’n keep on hustlin’ all night long
Even when they start actin different
Them niggas mad cuz we winnin’ over here
They know it’s our year"

His childhood is a testament to his resilience and for this record he channels everything he has moved past in an effort to make his dreams come true. Reflecting on his past poses as a reminder, and he notes just why there’s no way he can quit now. Millions of people give up not realizing that they’re so close. Giving up because you aren’t being notices is a cop out, as this song pushed for forward progression, regardless. For every person that doesn’t believe, there’s a thousand more that will. Jah Jr. advises, “Don’t let anyone stop you. Tunnel vision”.

lyrics

I been waiting on this moment for my

Whole life

I’m made for it feels so right

Remember days when I would pray

And beg the lord for better days

And change my ways I was close to

Taking my own life

They say it’s love when they be hatin

You the whole time

I love my dawgs cuz they ain’t ever on

No hoe time

I got my own glow why would I take

Yo shine

Cuz can’t nobody intervene with you

And yo time

We hustled til the sun came up

And vowed to never let the fame or

The change ever change us

My patna got it and he changed up

Now I can’t fuck with that nigga

Cuz ass kissin just ain’t us

I thank the lord the music saved us

We always got it out the mud cuz

That’s the shit that always made us

I see it all and it’s finally clear

Feelin Alive bc my time shit is

Finally here



Even though they say we movin wrong

We gon keep on hustlin all night long

Even when they start actin different

Them niggas mad cuz we winnin over here


They know it’s our year



Mane I grew up on that west side

Up the street from telfair

I wrote rhymes on my bedside

With dreams of going elsewhere

I grew up with no health care

Salt water for that strep throat

Auntie was on welfare’s I

But dem days were the best doe

It was just me and Brodie’s in a small town tryin to find a way

Wednesday’s at the bowling alley swear that was our hiding place

To get away from all the stress our parents used to put on us

Dem Gutter balls exemplified the gutter we was coming from

picked on daily called a lame for being smart in school

Had to find a outlet cuz that “gangsta shit” just wasn’t cool

Told my pops I wanna rap I swear he didn’t believe in me

But will and Lewis said I had a talent they could see in me

I started writing gun bars. We thought they was dumb hard

Just me and my homeboys. Posted up at Stubbs park

Went by the name of young Hype

All my rhymes was dumb tight

I represent that dub south

What you know about this dub life
