[Sunday Spotlight] JSPH

Fear, anxiety, and the pressures of society sometimes leave us feeling like the nightmare that a lot of us have experienced; overwhelmed by something and trying to scream or run, but can’t.  

Breathe is a record that’s a reminder to let go.  It is my first release since the more darker and emotional EP “Rule.”   I chose to have the artwork reflect the juxtaposition that occurs when the beat drops at around the 40 second mark.  It transitions from a dark poetic intro into a modern soul anthem.  The roses in the darkness are just a reminder that in a life full of potential fear, something beautiful can transpire if we focus on love, and breathe.

JSPH - Under The Sun

Light rushin in feels so uninvited 
like death from my window pane. 
My love concealed behind the silence 
nothin left but there's more to say...

You could be the death of me
and I can't even hide it.
Cuz all I did was love ya till the end of the line 
but you don't see what I did. 
And this could be the death of me
but you don't seem to mind it.
Cuz all you did was love me till the end of my life,
you got me feelin lifeless, 
lifeless.

Clocked out you say it's all just timing.
Don't make a promise just to let me down 
You know all the places I've been. 
Don't see nobody else when you're around.

Nobody can nobody can hurt me like you 
the way u do, give it time is what they say
ain't got time to give away.

ComeMyWay

Is it on me, is it all on me?
I let you down you pick me up
I took a chance you wish me luck.
You've got all these enemies but you call em family
they do not wanna see you love
someone like me can’t be enough.
My mama didn’t like you 
your mama wasn’t there.
I gave you every reason to leave back then you didn’t care.
And all of the things that we said
and all of the things that we chose
just became fuel for the fire 
I know that I got too close.

But if I loved you better hey
And I could love you better baby
It could be whatever 
We’d still be together 
If I loved you better.

Better than your next man,
stop playin you teachin' me a lesson.
Stop playin you reachin' for a question ahh.
So which way do we go now which way do we go?
Nothing I try can fix our love
nothing I do can be enough.
Too proud to really ask you
give me another chance.
Don’t know if I believe that we could really last. 
And all of the things that we said
And all of the things that we chose
just became fuel for the fire
I know that I got too close.

I don't really know what to say right now
If it's true what's the play right now?
Pushing me away and then pulling me closer
end of the day we both know it ain't over.

Better
