(Chorus): GET OUT THE WAY OR YOU AINT FIND YOUR WAY MISSING THAT TIME TODAY GET OUT THE WAY THIS AINT NO TIME TO STAY FREEING OUR MIND TODAY GET OUT THE WAY THIS IS THE DAY (Verse 1): Get out the way cause I’m leaving I can’t be late to the greiving I can’t be late to get up But I’m running late cause my Fit Up, Nice… Berry on Ice Wondering how ima get there tonight Wondering how I’ma get there today Stressing bout timing like why can’t you wait? Why can’t you go? Why don’t you know? Why don’t you leave when you ready to go? Why you say yes when you should’ve said no?… You should’ve said no! Woah Wonder how you keep me down and defeated I’m sleeping all day and I still feel depleted I needed to get up and focus on Him But I’m laying here scrolling and focused on them These those Seem like I chose Seem like I choose Nudes over shoes Wants over necessities I lose Search for a cure to disease The clue lies Beyond the lies Beyond the trees Beyond the sky Beyond my fears Beyond my cries Beyond my tears Beyond my pain Beyond my hurt Beyond my shame Beyond my guilt Beyond the blame Beyond the dough beyond the fame Beyond the skills Beyond the wealth Beyond my life Beyond myself… So get out the waaay GET OUT THE WAY OR YOU AINT FIND YOUR WAY MISSING THAT TIME TODAY GET OUT THE WAY THIS AINT NO TIME TO STAY FREEING OUR MIND TODAY GET OUT THE WAY THIS IS THE DAY THAT WE RIDE GET OUT THE WAY OR YOU AINT FIND YOUR WAY MISSING THAT TIME TODAY GET OUT THE WAY THIS AINT NO TIME TO STAY FREEING OUR MIND TODAY GET OUT THE WAY GET OUT THE WAY (x5)

(Verse 1): I can’t complain… Salary checks Got us flying on planes Foots on they necks Til they crying in pain I be the vet That they hired to stay This be the recipe Don’t think no less of me This just the tip You ain’t seen the rest of me (pause) Rest in complexity Bread ain’t no flex to me Is these niggas really leaving a legacy?… I CAN’T TELL Game so sick nigga I CAN’T SMELL My lane so thick nigga I can’t fail So in best time we gon get’er done Fade to where it’s raising we gon wallow in the Son Never Seen a hater get a dolla til it’s done Making sure He coming for all my niggas when it’s done So shiiiiit, Might as well get yo own bag Worry bout the quality don’t worry bout the tag (Cause it’s paid) (CHORUS): I be like “WHAT?” They be like “WHO?” I be like “HIM!” They be like “TRUE!” I be like “FINE” They be like “COOL” Then I be like “DAMN” And they be like “CHILL GOD GOOD NIGGA” (VERSE 2): Tighter than it’s ever been Challenge the drive It’s a must that win Can’t be the guy that’s a bust in the end Now it’s my pride discussing my ends Promise to God that I trust where I Am … And I trust in yo plan But I’m still a man Carrying weight on my shoulders Like will I be average or will I be grand Feel like I can’t take a stand Feel like I can’t be a man Worried if I got it in me to fight off this flesh and conquer the enemy What did I do to deserve all this grace I act like the truth then lie in yo face Fucking and flashing and fleeing and flipping Ducking and dashing I’m driving and sipping Blessed with a job and some niggas is wishing Blessed with family shit I be tripping Act like the man that’s gon her some different Touch her then leave I’m scared of commitment I be drained and I don’t go Can’t take pain It hurt slow Pray in vein I don’t know If it works it don’t show Still I shine and you glow (woah) I gotta village that say they be proud of me Wonder how little they know they get outta me Show up to church I’m lying I might But can’t even focus my mind on last night Sex on mind like it’s all that I think I shouldn’t be driving I just drink I shouldn’t be thriving I fuck over blessings I feel like I fool I ain’t learning my lessons Ion know why I’m in here confessing I gotta vulnerable shit I’m undressing My pain, past, hoping it last hoping you listen Wish that you’d ask But Fuck it The clock running down Get a bucket The cops coming round better tuck it The flock gon be round if you lucky Laughing like chucky Head to bank and deposit a Bucky She say I’m different now she wanna (wait) Gotta refocus can’t head to the lake I tired gotta take a break lol (CHORUS): I be like “WHAT?” They be like “WHO?” I be like “HIM!” They be like “TRUE!” I be like “FINE” They be like “COOL” Then I be like “DAMN” And they be like “CHILL GOD GOOD NIGGA”

Let this be a lesson to my niggas out there stressing The enemy handing curses out Disguising then as blessings To my sisters Independent, entrepreneurial, intelligent Just know that you are heaven sent Infinitely relevant But for now on I’m celibate Tryna keep my body And purify my soul Only Christ can keep me whole This life can take a toll When you chase the superficial And I’m not tryna dismiss you If you Favor chains and pistols I’m just giving you the meat of the truth No time for grizzle PAUSE Did you catch that? WAIT Let’s take a step back Time for examination I’m channeling all my patience But steady anxiously waiting For times like this It’s hard times for Hip-Hop It’s been a while since a nigga heard rhymes like this Seen grind like this Shot my shot missed But I’m playing defense No plays off Hungry as bear Just can’t no days off Oops I gotta steal Make trap rappers my meal I’m sick of hearing that shit Yo How these niggas getting deals and yeah I’m hating Just know this shit is personal foreal You masquerading generational curses as appeal This shit is Ill when you really think about it Chain niggas to poverty and pay em when they rap about Use guns and chains as props Niggas be cap without it I’m angry you rap about it Cause it’s more to the truth I spit rhymes out like flames Set fire to the booth My freestyles is proof That the lion is loose Versatility be my capability If you feeling me Then like this shit or share If not? Ion care cause I...(x2)

(Chorus): City cold and It ain’t right Said it’s about time get ya game tight Don’t know where to go But they say I gotta take my time Can’t wait no more and I feel like I’m losing my mind Feel like I’m losing my mind (x2) (Voice note of more saying “focus”) (Verse 1): Hit the streets Get to work But the lights off Can’t escape til the hurst Think It might solve this pain Running in circles don’t know what I gained Working to find a way out of this stage** (Uh) Answers in front of me But the problems take more just one of me Would seek help but I’m scared they’d make fun of me Bet they wish they knew who I was gonna be I be moving with angels on missions Need protection for demons they dissing GPS say I’m headed in the right direction Took the wrong turn guess I’m learning my lesson Still worried bout whether or not they undressing Tryna refocus on keeping my blessings These insecurities why I be stressing. Went on a trip cause I gotta address em (Hook): City cold and It ain’t right Said it’s about time get ya game tight Don’t know where to go But they say I gotta take my time Can’t wait no more and I feel like I’m losing my mind Feel like I’m losing my mind (Verse): I can’t help but make these dreams work This King’s hurt Tryna heal but I gotta bleed first Pops told me I gotta take my time Time told me I got the right to shine Now I’m on And who knew it’d be so hard Who knew I’d feel so far away Who knew I’d feel so wrong Guess that’s why He made me strong I be on 10 like I’m young They tryna be down like it’s fun But I can’t be stuck in the dung I talk like I already won They be like Jay “where you from?” I tell ‘em straight from the Son My melanin popping Potential (obvious) I can't be copied I swear City cold and It ain’t right Said it’s about time get ya game tight Don’t know where to go But they say I gotta take my time Can’t wait no more and I feel like I’m losing my mind Feel like I’m losing my mind (x2) (Voice note of more saying “focus”)

(Chorus): Never seen a road that’s moving Never heard a song grooving too tight Never felt a heart that’s oozing Only know the feeling I get when the moods right You be on guard in the AM Even at dawn boo you slay them Let’s be off time Make up your mind Decide if you gon be mine (Verse): Let me take a minute to explain I ain’t never did you wrong on purpose Shit I was just nervous Running from the fear that this could be another worthless sensation Traveling your heart to find a useless vibration I’m gone Missing yo Morning time messages Questioning like did I make a mess again I’ll be the first to confess this ain’t heaven sent Flirting for the hell of it Make that nigga jealous shit This the wrong road But you the right one This ain’t morris code Baby type some Make me write some Deepening my feelings Wonder if the love we felt before was even real and… Can’t control what the future could hold I mean we might as well be gambling I’m used to the lows If you wit it I’m wit it I get it You can’t be committed but admit it.. We would’ve been the flyest that did it (Chorus): Never seen a road that’s moving Never heard a song grooving too tight Never felt a heart that’s oozing Only know the feeling I get when the moods right You be on guard in the AM Even at dawn boo you slay them Let’s be off time Make up your mind Decide if you gon be mine ( B Heard): You been screaming love me love me or just leave me alone Baby I know you been waiting on me to tell you what I want But You know me, indecisive B Full of jealousy Couldn’t care less me I really need somebody that’ll give me the moon, not somebody always coming around trine tell me what to do He got this & you got that It’s feeling like an ultimatum when you talk like that It feel like he see the world in my eyes or something anytime he got it then I got it it’s nothing But when it’s me & you If I tell the truth Don’t matter what you do You know I Only got eyes for you (Chorus): Never seen a road that’s moving Never heard a song grooving too tight Never felt a heart that’s oozing Only know the feeling I get when the moods right You be on guard in the AM Even at dawn boo you slay them Let’s be off time Make up your mind Decide if you gon be mine

(Verse 1): Visions in my mind of you Loving me like old times Reminiscing on yo old rhymes Reminiscing on them old days Dorm room love we okay Wonder if you think about potential that we threw away I threw away I made mistakes Wanted to chase Foreign embrace but… That’s the past though Can’t hate what I asked for I’d love to say I just want ya time But I really wanna see that ass tho Guess I’m on the same shit I then grown but a nigga still ain’t shit …Just can’t quit this time Hoping that the lord keep me on yo mind (Chorus): Ian got no better way to saying ion really trust when I be praying Like how you love this much when I be playing Messing over perfect love and then complaining Think of you a daily Run it back for me maybe Let’s take our time we ain’t gotta do nothing crazy Is it really empty? Can you really feel me? This feeling is wrong We must (x2) Move on (Taymad3it): I can’t blame you You was lost but now you healing A super hero but you think you just the villain Gotta start somewhere You got potential I can feel Keep on pushing I know one day you’re gonna kill it Don’t let the start of you be the roof or the ceiling Growing up is just the beginning of the beginning Dont let it break your spirit Make it apart of yo mission To break the shell And show the real you that stayed hidden in yo prison (Bridge): Young man It’s okay that you ain’t got it yet Young man Just make a way and be about yo check You stand With the brothers standing next to you Be a man That makes sure he’s loving sister too You can Be all you’ve ever wanted to Just stand In the Way that He(God’s) instructed you Cause he’ll be there right by your side When you journey through the night Interlude: Maybe my priorities wrong Maybe I should worry bout school stead of worry bout songs Maybe I should worry bout you instead of worrying bout wrong I did in the past Maybe I should worry bout how to make this last Maybe I should think about Things I never think about Maybe I should dream about How to pull the eagle out? Nah Maybe I should worry bout my blessings Focus less on stressing Less on beats and more on lessons Maybe I should worry bout relationships that strained Maybe I should worry bout my health and less o. n gains Maybe I should worry where ima be in the fall Truth be told maybe I shouldn’t worry at all Maybe it’s my worry that’s keeping me from ascension Maybe I worry too much or too little so pay attention (I’m) Tryna worry less, pray more and be strong. Maybe this ain’t my path, Or Shit maybe I’m wrong Who knows?

This chapter’s over I’m moving on getting closer To things I always dreamed about Could never dream of how… It would unfold Blessings are made of old prayers that’s in yo favor Wait for you to grow up later I… Wonder if my momma nem could picture the success that her son would have I mean he was good at math Not good as D But he passed You know he love him some Jazz You know he him love Dad A mommas boy since young Wanna be just like his daddy Tryna be just like his son Tryna be just like The Son… (The steps laid out I just ain’t begun..) So I just figure that Nigga that Decide what he gon Show up when he supposed to Make up when he have to Grow up but don’t act new When you lane don’t just let nobody hack Make sure niggas know you’ll do anything you have to Cause I’m down to grind Down to shine Down to fail Down to cry Down to hurt Down to fly We on the way I’m down to ride…. I don’t know what I’m supposed to do I can’t tell even who I’m supposed to be But long as I’m free (x2)

about

"This project kinda' like a vintage t-shirt... in style, but remind of you better days."
~ Jaylon X

This album is a culmination of heart, skill, introspection, and REAL RAP!
Born and raised in Houston, Tx, Jaylon's southern hip-hop influence is flatteringly apparent. As this is his debut album, it is obvious that X feels like he has something to prove.

The collaboration between himself and upcoming Houston-native producer Taymad3it is special! The two seem to have found a groove that is infectious and genre-bending. The mix of Hip-Hop and R&B elements makes it hard for anyone to not find something they like.

'X' uses Track 03 to give what he calls his "rap thesis." In it (and throughout the rest of the project) he details his feelings about current hip-hop culture and his desire to "shift the narrative" about rap!

Take the 20 minute journey with Jaylon X & Taymad3it as they debut what could be the beginning of a career that is here to stay!
