Momentum (Remix)

Straight up bars. Here is a new remix that I made of Russ's song "Utah Freestyle". If you like hip hop and lyrics please give this a listen!

(Lyrics:)

Tired of being broke man this isn’t a joke, tired of working my job In a place that I like to go, feel like I’m wasting my soul, my heart is guiding me I’m letting god take the control, even if where I go is remote, I’ll be animal lyrically but don’t need to be the goat, that’s just my ego inferring tryna my steer my mental, doesn’t it know I listen to Kendrick sit down be humble, I’m ready to rumble I spit and these beats like I’m Russ tho, leaving them in the disgust with the stank face when I bust flows, lord know Im working on music the doors close to anything negative pick up the pen, again and again,  listen my friend, what do you wanna Do with you life, my answers my passion, listen, the way I’m spitting this man you could tell I’m on a mission, like I’m suited in my camo, so , listen to my plan tho, drop the music consistently start to build the brand tho, I spit the verses and sing the hooks Ima one man show, plus the beats getting cooked by me JD the picture painter lately tryna get the fans tho,  I always gotta take the bus just to travel land, So inpired by Russ thank god he put out the manual, now I feel like I do this automatic, I gotta be snapping any opportunity I’ll grab it as long as it’s not wasting my talent on something that’s not lasting, no trading cash for heart, plan b or last resort, the game is full of snakes going back and forth like a couple Labradors, I’m not playing catch with yours homie, yea got to many raps in drours homie, I’m tryna save the money so I can endorse on me, watching Star Wars man no one has the force on me, these countries start wars and the civilians pay the fee, innocent lifes traded for millions of lies, wishing that would we could survive, it’s like they wanna divide, I’m praying that we could evade it take it. make it and stride, I know it’s taking some time, but if you keep the mindset of change and stay solid like stone, then eventually the system will cave in we’ll make this world home, let the world know it ain’t about your wardrobe it’s about what’s beating way deep inside your torso, look all the directions that I could take it, I’m destined for greatness, matter of fact it’s best that I make it because I keep it positive, while so many rappers wasting your time talking bout they wrist, but man I understand the perspective you finally got the money so flex it but does it have to be on every record? What else do you gotta offer man that’s what cole said, and I’m not tryna off ya just tryna get in your head, you’re listening to the flow state I’m so zen It’s so great, I don’t hate I hone in, got no weight on my shoulders, I got no plate no beefing no reason to begin, honesty speaking we could all just be friends if we saw what you saw and you saw what we saw, I’m just tryna just balance the perspective like a seasaw, writing verses like a statement I’m talking to you all, keep my self driven while a movement like U haul, they used to short verses but the tea I spill is oolong, killing the game make em know my name from Here to Utah, James...

I’ve heard many times, it’s about the rhymes, but I’m learning the business it’s time to get inside, I’m going off the cuff, I’m going off the cuff, I’ve been flowing so long that I can go off the cuff, meaning off the top, I’m keeping it organic, I spit the freshest effects and they wanna Instagram it, I’m going off the cuff, I’m going off the cuff, I know you feel the vibes when I’m going off the cuff...

(Verse 1:) man this just for fun, no I don’t play dumb, and I just begun, I’ve been working for a long time for free but you know that I gotta get funds to fund my life, no over night success I won’t do it just for the money, i laugh, funny, now to pass to me the mic, I write and write for nights and nights, and days and days I’m spit like rays about the speed of light, I can see the fight that we fighting for, it’s bout equal rights know we need it more, know I gotta keep it righteous, praying for love feeling so enlightened, look up above, in the sky lightening, if I got god than I got my friend, that’s that Mathew mcannaheugh, I’ve been rapping through Hollidays, year to year till they part a way make a way I’m up in the game, ear to ear see it on my face, man i smile cuz it’s been a while that I put out the music, sometimes frown, feeling down, but I know that I can defuse it, they want crowd, and they want the crown, but it’s about how use it, what is your word, what is your message, homie what are your doing? James...

Aye how you gonna make it rain tho? with no clouds around, hear my words and sound, you can never knock me down, and this shit's so real, "how'd he write that down?" just a young white boy tryna make it out, hear the pain in my voice from my brain, so insane, don't complain, never, I just sit & reminisce, thank god but I still sit alone and i wish I could get a taste of shit that i've been dying for, I look at my people and asking what we dying for? I look at my momma and asking what you crying for? we both wonder what my sister doing, really I don't know, probably up in that apartment tryna get shit started, sitting there overthinking, all you need's someone for talking, waiting for that right man to just walk in, all these men running over her like they was stomping, they just a PIG of a man, and this a PIGment of my imagination, my hands sweating, my mind racing, my heart beating, shit i'm facing you probably thinking i'm Abe Lincoln, all I want is poetry to get you people thinking, see we're like a growing tree but no need for the drinking, cuz all we need's a little light & i ain't talking blinking, yea, I'm talking shit that brings family together, so fuck making it rain, I never liked the weather, one day it's raining, one day it's cloudy, one day it's sunny, this song is way bigger than me, it's way bigger than money, yea, and I know that money rule the world, but what you do when all that money's lost in the world? and it gets spent on cars, clothes and beautiful girls, only pretty on they outside fuck there curves & curls, that don't matter It's all about your heart, without that in your life you'll watch it all get torn apart but no need for restart, I'm tryna teach you a lesson, It don't matter when you fell it matters when you start stepping, damn, so go ahead put down that weapon fam, your mind is power, you just gotta go and understand, uh, uh, uh, aye let me know when you understand, peace of mind!

(LYRICS)

[Chorus]: Lately I've been looking for a direction to go, and i can't find nothing I think it's time to take it slow, I tell myself I know where i've been, know where i'm going, but I still look around and don't know where i'm going, Lately I've been looking for a direction to go, and i can't find nothing I think it's time to take it slow, I tell myself I know where i've been, know where i'm going, Momma told me take a step back and smell the roses...

[Verse 1]: And she right, I've been up all night, looking back on my life, so much I've been through, I just want the world to know my name and feel my pain over instrumentals, that's it I spit it for your mental, get rich and buy your mom a Benz to, but through it all don't forget you, and who you are, like when you were a kid playing baseball, looking to the stars thinking one day I'll be a star, yea one day i'll be a star, and I swear to god i'm going far cuz i'm going harder than most of ya'll that wanna ball, really you can't, really you copying everybody in the game, really you copying everybody in the game like....

(sample: Will Smith scene / MLK speech) 

[Chorus]: Lately I've been looking for a direction to go, and i can't find nothing I think it's time to take it slow, I tell myself I know where i've been, know where i'm going, but I still look around and don't know where i'm going, Lately I've been looking for a direction to go, and i can't find nothing I think it's time to take it slow, I tell myself I know where i've been, know where i'm going, Momma told me take a step back and smell the roses...

[Verse 2]: And she right, i've been up all day, getting back in my ways, looking for a new way now, while you riding the wave out, i'ma just be in my place and lay these verses making you say wow, growing up I never had my own house, living in motels and the rent due, ya'll don't even know the half of what I've been through, looking back at all the places that i've been to, but there's so much more that I wanna see, I became an MC because I feel like I was meant to, but there's so much more that I wanna be, but I'll forever be in love with this music, I use it like a drug and I got a high tolerance when the time comes I'ma never give it up, I'm looking up like an optimist and I'm barely getting in my prime, it's my time, my age, and the age of James is bouta be 18 but in my brain I feel like i'm 88, cuz of all this pain but I know it's gonna fade away, as long as I just meditate and find a better way, lately I've been....

[Chorus]: Lately I've been looking for a direction to go, and i can't find nothing I think it's time to take it slow, I tell myself I know where i've been, know where i'm going, but I still look around and don't know where i'm going, Lately I've been looking for a direction to go, and i can't find nothing I think it's time to take it slow, I tell myself I know where i've been, know where i'm going, Momma told me take a step back and smell the roses...

I was sent to tell stories of what I've been through, It's pretty simple but also complex, I can't wait to look back at what I accomplished...

[Verse 2:]
Yea, and every day I wake up just tryna better my self, okay maybe not everyday but you get it, I'm just tryna make what i'm spittin' something that you felt, at the moment this drops that's three projects under my belt, and they all got my heart and soul in em', you can feel the soul in em' like the Jordan 1's that are on my feet, jeez louis, I leave motherfuckers deceased the second I step in these, ain't no one can step to me! and that's just how I feel, I gotta keep it real, I'm independent but... one day i'ma sign that deal, and give the check to my moms, tired of moving all them boxes in and out the garage, but what have I become, I guess it's all a mirage, am I a monster? am I an angel? man it's really hard, but now i'm shooting for the stars cuz I wanna be a stars and I'm looking to the stars like Nostradamus and I'm going far I promise, I'm the bombest like Bin Laden with Saddam, and I just gotta keep it honest but man i can be a liar, one day I feel like nothin' and one day I'm the messiah, but I'm tryna stay level headed cuz I'll be in my grave one day, so I best not misbehave, man I just cannot wait to look back on my life and i'll say i made it!
