about

"Introduced me to a life I'm unprepared for
I only learned to watch the
People that you care for.
Time after the time y’all showed ya’
True colors so therefore
It ain’t no way that I could care more
It ain’t no way that I could honor y’all"

Filled with pure Aries fire, Jah Jr. finds himself pouring out his true feelings in the most uncensored fashion possible. Music was always his therapy, long before he ever took a therapy session. On this track Jah Jr. lets loose while a soulful K-Ci & Jojo sample drives the message. Having taken a few weeks to write, much of his time had been spent reflecting on Winters past. He places himself amidst one of the most challenging moments of his life as he delivers real-time in his delivery. Call him “One Take Drake” as it only took one time to leave it all on the mic.

lyrics

The way you are it

Left me scarred for life



Winter 2012 a nigga just graduated

Love is in the air

Had my shawty infatuated

Mama got me cryin

“My baby I’m glad you made it”

Pops got me focused

“Be clear of the path you takin”

Tryin to make my own way

Figured ma and pops would help me

As soon as I was out on my own

Them niggas left me

In those moments

All I’m feelin is doubt

“Take the titty out ya mouth

Son figure it out”

On top of being unfaithful

And gettin shit from my spouse

The Commons CA bangin at my door

And Kickin me out

Tryin to keep a strong mind

Like shit can’t get to me now

But the way my folks left me hangin

All I keep thinkin about

I’m homeless with a degree

I couldn’t figure it out

Ain’t spoke to mama

Been some months since I

Been to the house

As I sit on this couch

Stargle passin the loud

Praying for that new apartment

He keep asking about...

Picking hoes up in Cetta Pontiac

And fuckin all night with no sleep

Like an insomniac

To she I wasn’t loyal

And our bond I never honored that

The Honda done but mama

Talkin bout she want it back

Plus they got a new whip apiece

When the new shit released

Now I know why they ain’t

Do shit for me

Got a new job they still tried to

Take more from me

Til I filed my own taxes

Bitch I Ain’t no dummy

That ain’t you money

Why y’all tried to claim

Me on ya taxes

Like I ain’t 23

Why y’all never taught me that shit

Bc y’all both a leech

And out for self

I didn’t matter

On the real I’m supposed to be

Living in wealth

Gettin my cash up

Had to grow into a life

I’m unprepared for

I only learned to watch the

People that you care for

Time after the time y’all showed ya

True colors so therefore

It ain’t no way that I could care more

It ain’t no way that I could honor y’all

You raised me up to tear me down

Man I’m so tired of y’all

There’s plenty days I’m feeling down

Y’all rather watch me fall

And had the nerve to say I’m using

Y’all is truly false

Feel like I’m through with y’all

I’m sure y’all did the best you could

But when I think about it

Y’all was aware of all ya actions

So I really doubt it

And the issues that y’all have with

Me I swear you got it

Stuck in the mud

Prayin I get out it



You left me scarred for life

Told me I was a star in your eyes

But then you made it hard to fight

You made it hard to fight

The way you are it left


Me scarred for life
