I Know You Got Soul: Sounds Like Krazy Jay

What's going on everyone?

Just finished watching the Boston-Orlando game...it should be an interesting series between the Cavs and the Magic. Will it be LJ23 or D12?

Anyways, on with the show. This blog is the second of your Sunday double dose is about my producer Krazy Jay in Mississippi. When I was putting together music for S.O.S. I was going through the joints Jay had sent me over the last while. I got to this joint titled "Don't Give Up" which had this infectious sample in it. The more I listened to record I could see what I wanted to hear over the music. I took a while to write the song because I wanted it to be perfect. In the end, it is one of those records that everyone can relate to. If you have ever had a dream about someone has told you that you can't do it, this record is for you. The song also deals with elements of self doubt. I hope all of you enjoy the record when it comes out.

Once again, here is the written song. take it in...

Verse 1:
It’s a race to the top I know I’m in the running
Then there are the times I find myself rushing
Even though I know still takes time to be dope
When times get hard who’s providing the hope?
Oh what’s that, don’t they say it’s all in the game
Go tell me what it is & I’ll show you what it ain’t
Your door of opportunity is here so go on through
If this life is a deck of cards who’s folding on who?
I’m shuffling the deck too many jokers in the game
Study my hand playing the game with a poker face
Now I hear the haters calling I can’t hold off hate
These jack rabbits is only caring about their carrots
Hear me clearly I’ve refined my clarity for caring
They say don’t be too careful just don’t be careless

Verse 2
What if I don’t make it; after everything that I gave
Now I’m wondering to myself what will they say?
I feel like I’m losing it I need someone to hold on to
This house of blues got me living is a house of hues
My heart on my sleeve let the emotion soak through
This is all I can do I’ve given you the gist of my guts
On the come up block by block I’m building a buzz
When it still feels your grind didn’t get you enough
Because even when you got a buzz that’s building up
You asking did you do everything you could’ve done
Deep down you feel what you did isn’t built up
Don’t they say that if you dream it & you believe it?
They say that if you feel it then you too can achieve it
The sum of all your fears is when you hear
Dreaming & believing don’t equal achievements

Verse 3:
It’s on you believe in me; don’t believe in me
I’m up on my grind like I don’t believe in sleep
The belief in my eyes; the belief in my rhyme
That’s what keeps me believing in my dreams
What you going say when my name comes up
Now I know it’s because of where I come from
That you always thought I could never come up
Now you thought I’d probably be hand cuffed
All because success is what I’m on the cusp of
I just turned another conundrum into a come up
You got to give &give till you don’t give a ugh
Because deep down you know you can’t give up
Now what’s coming next; will be love or success
I’m wondering about which ones will come first
Lady Luck calls telling me she’s got to cum first
