(LYRICS)

Intro:
Yea, I just wish I was perfect why do I gotta be human? wish I was some other person but then again that's still human, I wish I lived somewhere else and could put money in my mommas purse, I smile when I'm with her but on the inside I'm hurting, life can feel like a burden when you're stuck in the cycle, stuck in my room going psycho, you gotta climb over your ego if you wanna go where i'll go, you gotta climb over ego if you wanna go, said I just wish I was i was perfect, why do I gotta be human? wish I was some other person... but see that's still human, everyday I feel the same I'm tired of living this way, barely hanging on by a thread and happiness' so far away, said I was just wish I was perfect, why do I gotta be human? wish I was some other person but then again that's still human, everyday I feel the same!

(Verse 1) 
So much racism be existing today, see I've been through a-lot of racism back in the day, they would call me the whiteboy, cracker around the way, across the street from those same people is where i'd lay, but today I understand who i am, A young man with a plan, tryna get it how he can, growing up I swear! I didn't have an ounce of bias, if I were to see a white man crying or a black man dying I would go and try and help em', no matter what the color, no matter what the size, to no surprise, not a single inch of racism lies within my eyes and that's the reason why my debut EP was called "Perspective", I learned my lesson, so fuck depression but wait... a second, let me count my blessing's like one, two, three to the fo', i'm the man with the flow, hunned' grand hit the flo', god damn, never know, I'm the boss, i'm the king, tell me why man kind always wanna know everything?...yea, said tell me why man kind always wanna know? something's are better left alone, I'm better in my zone, grippin' the microphone with my eyes closed, I put the syrup in the styrofoam, that's the biggest mistake that i've made, but right now it's time to migrate, when I'm home alone I get in my head, that shit feel like a migrane, take a trip inside of my pain, overthinking right now inside of my brain, but the last thing that I wanna say is everybody is all the same, yea, the last thing that I wanna say is everybody is all the same, JD, and that's it, and that's it, we all the same, accept it.

HappYness

The 6th track from my 2nd EP "Hold For The Applause"

(Intro: J. Cole)
"Im taking a step back from what, what it took to get me hear and saying yo, lemme re-adjust and re-analyze whats important to me, is it this shit out in Hollywood? or is it what I got back home?"

(Verse 1)
Yea, I feel like Cole talking to me when I listen to him, I feel like the world's walking on me and my life is ruined, but that's just my headspace, I ain't in the best place, but with all this pain ima write till' im the next face of hip hop, my shits hot and when my shit drop come and listen, cuz see im on a mission, just living and wishing for better nights and better days, I take flight and find a better way to live, it's hard being happy knowing someone's shooting crack up in they crib, when you live in a house that don't feel like a home, I rap for those who can relate when they feel alone, put that music on, get up in your zone and fade away, forgive yourself for those mistakes that you might of made today or in the past, man I'm just a human being, reminiscing on memories, recently turned 17 and I know one thing, I'm following all my dreams!

(Hook)
Cuz sometimes I get high, when I feel low and its just to get by, you already know that i'm never gonna die, don't keep it on the low, I'ma live forever in they mind, yes I know, sometimes I get high, when I feel low and its just to get by, you already know that i'm never gonna die, don't keep it on the low, I'ma live forever in they mind, yes I know...

(Verse 2)
I feel alone in my mind, I feel like i'm going crazy, I question my self at times, I wonder if i'm the same me, my thoughts are all over the place, I don't wanna be a bad person, and I don't wanna feel like I'm hurting constantly, then get the pain out by saying "ain't nobody stopping me," putting other rappers down to feel better about my sound, my skin ain't brown and so they frown when I speak these nouns but right now I pronounce that i'm feeling like the greatest, I hope you play this and put it on your playlist to get out of your mind, get lost in someone else's story, this world is devine and I don't do it for the glory, I just do it for the rhyme, I know sometimes in my mind its hard to realize that i get...

(Hook)
high, when I feel low and its just to get by, you already know that i'm never gonna die, don't keep it on the low, I'ma live forever in they mind, yes I know, sometimes I get high, when I feel low and its just to get by, you already know that i'm never gonna die, don't keep it on the low, I'ma live forever in they mind, yes I know...

Just To Get By

(Verse:)
Man I cannot wait till' I make it, give some money up to my momma, forget about the pain and drama cuz of being at the bottom too long, one day i'll have it all, spend a thousand at the mall, when I'm there i'll never fall then i'll go shake hands with Obama, some shit I dreamt about before Trump was taking over, now I'm sitting in a rover then I go and light the doja, and I don't even know what... is really going on so I gotta give it all when I'm going in these songs, write with the right so I can right my wrongs, all night long, yea that's how it last, I roll a J up, I don't need a glass, my brain is speeding fast, I could write a thousand raps, smoke a half, go in class, no one asks... if I'm high or not, is she gon' say hi or not when I walk past? some shit to think about but then I laugh... cuz fuck the world that's the mindset... and I gotta mine set to blast, blaaow... and you wonder how, (Uh)...(Yea) and you wonder how!

[Verse 1:]
Yea, and every day I wake up tryna do better, instead of only being that man tryna make her wetter, hey, I'm looking for love, that's four letters, I'm more clever, you know i'm better than anyone stackin' cheddar up to the ceiling! I'm making a livin' and a killin' and i'm willin' to be a little bit different with the way that i'm spittin' so, come sit and listen, gather round, it's the mission to get along, with this song I'll inspire the world, when you're feeling wrong just let your feelings unfurl, cuz you never know which direction it's gonna go and so i'm just spittin' this flow to keep me on a steady stroll, I've been down this road a million times before, got the delivery and rhymes and it's times the flow, plus the beat, so much heat man I hope they know my name, I just wanna shake hands and say hello to fame as if it was a person and when I'm hurtin' in the brain I just go berserk over every instrumental cuz I feel like I was meant to, it's like... 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...

(Chorus:)
I can't wait to look back on my life and say I made it! yea I made it, yeah, I can't wait to look back on my life and say that I made it, yea I made it, yeah, I made it out the ghetto! made it out the pain! made it out the struggle! yea I made a name! I made it out the ghetto! made it out the pain! made it out the struggle! now it ain't the same, say hello to fame James... woah ooh oh oh, oh yea, say hello to fame James, yea yea, woah ooh oh yea, say hello to fame James...

[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!
