A lot of people's 'True Colors' have shown since the last go round' but the 'Good Times' continue on... WE BACK! and this is the portrait of my life, put this one up in the museum! [Vrs. 1] Riding off the cliff peelin' off in a spaceship, Hustle, Love, family, friends and patience and I'm all like how do I finally say this - Things buried so deep since a child and I'm sayin', What I fear to the most cuz I've been hangin', Out of balance in the Matrix, feeling wasted, Buy I promise I ain't inebriated - just been Overworking and feeling like I'm hated, I got self-love and that's definitely celebrated - But you gotta dodge "They" When you on the road to greatness, right here this is my statement - A message to 'Save Yourself' and support your friends - not just the Famous, I'm on a Jet like 'Namath' Yeah this seats taken, full steam ahead to milk and honey and bacon I be the breadwinner, money leaves we be raking! [Chorus] It's been a rough road but I made it! All I had was patience, Nobody to save him, So 'Save Yourself' is my statement! (x2) [Vrs. 2] Ending up where I need to be, my destiny, just cuz I slipped up once or twice don't think less of me, and don't pretend to be a friend of me if you an enemy, smoked out the fake ones cuz of jealousy, they working 9-5's, I'm really living my dream, important life lessons as the lies abandon this screen, vision of my reality living out a movie scene, I swear I'm out this world in another galaxy, prison break, I escaped with musicality, and oh my God! I finally mastered my recipe, 7 to 7 & 333, numbers runnin' through my mind of synchronicity, they didn't teach me knowledge of Self they gave me fake history, myths and mystery and the hate disease, a whole Lotta racism is still passed down I see, I thought we were human beings, what's with all this bigotry! ??? [Chorus] It's been a rough road but I made it! All I had was patience, Nobody to save him, So Save yourself is my statement! (x2) [Vrs. 3] Heavens right here and we keep lookin' up, you can't get it together, with your nose in a book, a classic case of pawn leading the rook, leavin' em' shook - what a crook! I just want life of all verse and no hook! Go save that chorus 4 the pill you took! Well put, I'm living life on the good foot... With good People, having good Times, vibrating high frequencies and we'll see what aligns, I've been soul searching let's see what I find, diggin' in mine, inside the psyche and mind, runnin in my Nike's, I ain't runnin behind, in a world of limitations being free is a crime, I'm looking 4 dimes, anything less ain't worth my time, people mad when you shine so I'm turning up more! Taking flights and getting right hittin the terminal doors, I wrote this in a sauna leakin' toxins out my pores, I'm having fun of all sorts and I ain't - keeping score, checking things off my bucket list - wildin' on tour, I came from nothin' built this up from the floor, so if you ask me if I'm grateful I say of course... por favor! Gracias, sure!

Oh I'm back they know Just relax - let go! I'm on top they Know! Just relax - Let go!!! [Vrs 1] I need a little water I've been killing these stages Oh my God! This life is amazing! All this silence I know what you're saying and now on the radio my songs are playing Why you hating ? I've been waiting my whole life! Imagining this celebration, let's get right! But you wanna fight! - Not build ? I mean I'm thrilled I'll never find no chill! [Chorus] Oh I'm back they know Just relax - let go! I'm on top they Know Just relax - Let go!!! [Vrs 2] You tryin' ta catch a fish I got ten by the gill I love reality I don't need a pill I'm drunk off love and I'm high at will - Life's a party I'm letting this wine spill! Pulled up Dead Presidents out the till I'm not running in place I'm moving staying still meditation mode - Tai Chi' Timmy goes... Off to the Grammy's to grab the Gold! [Bridge] It don't make sense and it don't bring change and all they wanna do is play these games - [x2] [Vrs 3] I'm bringing it all back home 'The Times Are Changin' a caterpillar my cells are rearranging - people come and go like the Seasons I'm not complaining that's just draining, I'm reigning and washing it clean, rebuilding I mean, letting it grow green - what a scene! I'm somewhere between Jesus and Charlie Sheen, Eric Clapton in Cream and John Mayer as a teen! With that 'College Dropout' look in my eye - Living my Dream! [Chorus] Oh I'm back they know Just relax - let go! I'm on top they Know Just relax - Let go!!!
3.	Soul Music 03:24	lyrics	buy track
[Vrs. 1] I had a talk with my higher self deep in meditation, Close my eyes and find what I'm facing, music from the soul comes from Slayin' the dragons, balancing energy and shifting the vibration, - I read my intuition on the wall it's been taggin', graffiti of the answers I've been waiting, for, like a perfect storm to go sailing! Cuz Bish! We going to the ship like Lindsey Whalen, and it all Links if you listen to what I'm sayin', I'm releasing my expression a confession I am laying, down on the track sounds courtesy of MoSunn, my bro on the Pro Tools just let the track run, til the verses are done and the Sun comes out, all the clouds clear and the ladies wanna bounce; ...Grab my hand and do-si-doe, so listen close as I spit that soul! [Chorus] Music from the soul I just lose control, This from the heart yeah I'm on a roll, All I do is make hits, Yeah this one'll go! To the top Written from the you know!!! [Vrs. 2] Hero's journey, this the homecoming written on my souls imprint to be something, Especially when you'd thought I'd be nothing Big ups to my poetry teacher for not frontin' This world's ok with war but not cussin', we all hypocrites and you clones lack substance, a bunch of bums criticize and would love it to see me become one of them - just a puppet - Plastic People they all around, the herd of sheep runnin' from the Leo now! I'm Dicaprio A wolf but this ain't Wallstreet clowns, and this is not the scene where I get weak and drowned! The meek shall inherit the Earth, I'm Charlie Brown, St. Paul and the vision is coming around, the mountain from which I found to reach the pinnacle, look me up, Yo dogg I'm Biblical! [Chorus] Music from the soul I just lose control, This from the heart yeah I'm on a roll, All I do is make hits, Yeah this one'll go! To the top Written from the you know!!! [Vrs. 3] I've been positive, surrounded by the cynical Almost died so many times my life is a miracle, this song is coming from my spirit, literal, or literally, I don't litter the game I keep it lit, I be... Lighting candles in the studio to sing to beats, I'm the odd 1 out, I had to tackle a beast, it was either that or be out in the streets, Growin' up was tough I was afraid to speak, and I built a big ol' shell around me, To numb out; All the screaming and yelling - Why put your kids through hell when they have a gift n'... Deserve way more! ? I was always told there's things we can't afford, But being rich is a mindstate, so why act poor! ? Fuck that! No limits! Go and get yours! Pain shaped me to fit through my destiny's door! I inspire and impact everytime I record, Being a dreamer taught me to never keep score, Awakenings happen when your crying on the floor, my souls deep from the roots - Now Do you want more!!!? Or..., You comin' for my Soul! ? I ain't sellin' that shit So just admire it hoe! I'm raw & real - You lookin' fugaze' bro! - Yeah my name is J. and this world is; ... Col(d)!
4.	Off Day 03:51	lyrics	buy track
[Vrs 1] No off day, no days off for me, This my offering, off the trust that you'll see who I really be absorbed fully in my art, fuck the drugs fuck the money or the billboard chart, all I like is respect and love from your heart, real ones that wanna build not rip people apart, but the water is soft and the rocks act hard, and some of us out here really know who we are... Forget 5 star - we a billion....like Dr Evil say "One Million!", That ain't enough so fuck it 100 trillion, that Bezos/Gates bread but I don't idolize them, nah cuz these days the futures looking grim, But that's what "They" paint I'm on the bright side times 10, on the soap box handing out my 2 cents, In the depths with the greats I take this swim... [Chorus] And I ain't take 1 day off yet, I only stop to catch my breath, I ain't take 1 day off yet I only stopped 2 catch my breath [Vrs 2] I see my faults but I've also seen victories, We leave the past behind, write that off as history.... And who's story, hers or mine! ? God's prolly female cuz her nature is Divine, I'm the masculine Lion, from the Jungle one time, Am I God or just man, a mortal letting sand - slip through my hands, as I race against the clock, and even though I'm just in time I don't wear a watch, and all I do is rap - Even though I rock! A real soulful cat 2 steppin in the spot, Dedicated my life to these songs - a crazy thought, but why not - splash around in some bliss, bask in the warmth and just talk my shit, This reminds me of dew on the grass, Fog and the mist - an eternal essence called life, we infinite! Our energy never dies - we making moves like this!... [Chorus] And I ain't take 1 day off yet, I only stop to catch my breath, I ain't take 1 day off yet I only stopped 2 catch my breath [Bridge] I'm only stopping to rest, I ain't ever gonna quit, It's obvious that im'a reach the finish No need to wish, The beginning is near I'm bout to hit that swish, the year of the underdog dog we on some shit! [Vrs 3] What else am I sposed to do but battle til' the death! ? What you expect! ? Music's all I got left, Plus it's how I get a check, I'm not the 99% - living their lives in debt And hoarding their homes with shit - Which, leaves; no room for love - And a family can only thrive on that as the plug, so crank up the volts and hit the bass from the subs, we'll be here until the rapture comes, or a flood, or a slide from the mud, What!... We gonna do for preparation before it hits! ? Don't wait or waste time; let's think, Or we can be here now and truly feel rich, the present is the gift I present to you with, All the sincerity, admiration and clarity, A gem, a rarity - a for sure no apparently on the battle scene of life - the sun just set - It's gonna be a long night..... [Chorus] And I ain't take 1 day off yet, I only stop to catch my breath, I ain't take 1 day off yet I only stopped 2 catch my breath
5.	Look Up 02:24	lyrics	buy track
All the days I spent all alone, This goes to those who don't feel @ home, E.T. tryin to phone to where I belong - I'm gone, this is my looking up song... [Vrs 1] I'm looking up but I'm not asking why I'm looking up because i trust in my ride I put faith in my process... Steering the whip on this drive... I'm not where I want to be but I believe in my mind, I got powers that I'm not gonna hide I'm looking up because I love sunshine That light inspired me to write this rhyme As I'm chilling outside;... and When the dark comes in i don't wanna run and hide, and as the clock ticks I wanna stop time, go back to feel sublime, to feel fine, drop myself a line, more love and a hug, cuz the only place I've ever been lookin' is up! Yeah the only place I need to be looking is up!..ugh! Look up! Yupp... [Vrs 2] Not there when I need em' They fake friends, Me against the world No girl, and gin... Was just a cover up to be cool and man Amend, my ravaged heart, a broken soul I feel torn apart, pieces on the ground I need a fresh start, Dawn to a new day Get back to being Bart, pulling pranks, Laughing, a wild card, a joker of the gang - The Divine star, but you let me fall, shattered me into shards, just as I finally let down my guard, started to soften up but now I'm back hard, with a closed heart, Shut off with these scars, Walking on egg shells not wanting to spar I went so far... - Only to return, and I keep looking up even though it burns... But I know one day I'll say "Lesson learned!", When I'm chilling with a family No worries or concern... [Chorus] All the days I spent all alone, This goes to those who don't feel @ home, E.T. tryin to phone to where I belong - I'm gone, this is my looking up song... [x2]
6.	Secrets (True Colors) 03:16	lyrics	buy track
I don't wanna leave this world With secrets, I got a voice that I don't wanna keep in, I woke up its time To stop sleeping, it seems like we're going Going off the deep end, and nightmares are creepin' in as I'm speakin', I don't wanna leave this world with secrets.... I don't wanna leave this world with secrets... I don't wanna I don't wanna leave with secrets!.... [Vrs 1] From the land of Prince and the home of Bob Dylan, emerges Good Times and I be freewheelin', releasing secrets no time for chillin'; I'm Reelin' in the truth as I'm tillin' the backyard, an indigo empath I'm not bout to act hard, I may not be the cool kid on the Boulevard - maybe a supernova, a bright ass star! I'm out this galaxy and being unique is my reward!, oh! And this ain't no confessional - Just secrets seeping out like a Professional, ever since a child I knew where my direction would go! I had to travel through the cold feelin' like an Eskimo, I started below the bottom and I had to grow, I was holding on too tight and wouldn't let go, I put my secrets on a note and now you will know, So if you're hearing this, this is the truth I spoke! Wait, ready - Go! Hold your speakers close, Turn up your headphones and get ready for the blow, even if my voice shakes I'm willing to explode, I ain't here to kill ya buzz this can still be party mode, execution style I'm taking rappers out though, being vulnerable; means invincibility - Plus the fans connect with authenticity, Humility showing now my strength is growing My tears and time heal I be feeling like Logan, a rap super hero or is that just a slogan ? Enough force and energy to break a levee open, I'm just getting started too tightening my focus, my secret is I float above the mud like a lotus, the world can be a shit storm - hocus pocus, I do magic with mics to leave ya frozen I used to be like why the hell was I chosen! ? So much different than the other kids but now I'm knowing, why that happened; My blessing is rapping; putting words together impacting, the globe mapping out a brave new world that I'm crafting, but I'm still Aladdin searching for my Jasmine... Sleeping all alone and I don't know what happened, cuz I'm full of love, My cup runneth ova- I'm a let it flood, - better Get your arc Noah! Cuz here I come, pouring with the rain and boating across the shame, wash it all off my soul clean, douse it in flames And watch me re-emerge, - Somewhere in Phoenix Flying off like a bird, Turning up and living life on my terms - I'm a injure a stone Muhammad Ali with the words, making haters curl up turning em' into perms, but the lames keep multiplying like bad germs... And the good people end up with secrets that burn... Dear fellow humans I hope one day we all learn... That only God can judge, stones you cast won't even make me budge, You bug and full of crud that you need to face, childhood wounds that hurt and made you break, now you suppress your emotions eating cupcakes, drowning out your fate with noise mad when I celebrate I'm shifting the Consciousness and making mistakes Purifying in the waters of 10,000 lakes, I'm holding nothing back I'm Going Bare today! History in the making they all stare my way - It's GoodxJ bringing in a new age! Turn my vocals up and plug me in let's make waves! We can all save the day...no more secrets or being fake, I got no time to hate, cuz I got love to make... Let me take you way back - let's get some Birthday Cake!

[Vrs 1] Each day is fresh, fresh and brand new! Everyday we get, get the chance to choose! As long as you work there's no way that you'll lose! Standing in your truth you can get what you want to, Inspiring the world, I'm that type of dude! Impacting a life is the best drug I do, we keep chasing highs all night and through - Into the dawn, and after that with no snooze! I don't need no games just load up the Pro Tools Hand me that mic and I'm a crush these fucking fools! Droppin jewels as bread crumbs Hansel or Grettle's son Justin is number one! Out here giving cash to bums Hey girl just shake that rump! Living life it looks like fun! Lord knows I'm ready! They telling me to speed it up but I'm winning slow and steady! Birthday Cake and Confetti Free Fallin' Tom Petty! They don't want this knowledge they say it's too heavy a couple dances with Mary Jane and I'm flying in a Chevy, you got the sauce I got the pasta girl let's make spaghetti boil up the water 212 it's 2020! I swear they ain't ready! I swear they ain't ready! Everybody eating Birthday Cake and fallin' confetti. Are you ready are you ready! ?

Feelin' like I'm never gonna go; Feelin' like I'm never gonna go wrong yo! [x2] Feelin' like! Feelin' like! I'm feelin' like! [x3] Yo! Betta tell em' what you feelin' like... [Vrs 1] I don't follow the rules, I don't play by none, It's just in time look here I come, super lyrical like Big Pun, Next level vision let's get this done! From nothin' to something I've been on the run, raps double oh seven rollin' with the golden gun, I just met a girl looks like Olivia Munn, I know she ain't a blonde but baby might be the one.... Ughh, Get that number, get them digits, hit my pivot cuz I know she wit it, Ughh, we can go banana split it, peel off in my Camry girl this ain't no Civic, I'm leapin' @ all opportunities like ribbit! This ain't no gimmick, so nobody can mimick an image, They timid tryin' to cross the line of scrimmage, Ayo! Let me tell you how I'm livin'!!!!... [Chorus} Feelin' like I'm never gonna go; Feelin' like I'm never gonna go wrong yo! [x2] Feelin' like! Feelin' like! I'm feelin' like! [x3] Yo! Betta tell em' what you feelin' like!

It's time to rise up as a team. Come together through Unity. Like Hip-Hop intended. Somewhere along the line things got screwed up, but we gon' bring it back to the origins. Peace, Love Unity and having fun this is Hip-Hop Culture Welcome to the show - Team Human! [Vrs 1] I know... That something ain't right! and I don't know if I can sleep tonight, There's work to do before they tuck me in tight, and I'll be god damned if I don't live the life, worthy of a Legacy and miraculous sights We all equal and it ain't about a fight The revolution occurs in your mind if ya like I mean it's easy to see like a Zebra stripes Pretty black & white and ripe with insights if you take the time to look then you just might.. Get hit, with an epiphany, to make your hair spike like Einstein's be, but it won't take his IQ to see, I'm a drop from the sea, you smell this ocean breeze ? Two cents of free, a Utopia of 'WE' together through UNITY! WELCOME TO HUMANITY. [Chorus] I'm Team Human - (Human!) If you hating you losing - (Losing!) I'm Team Human - (Human!)

No beliefs to hold so close that we can't breathe I'm doing the right thing Spike Lee the emcee! Join the movement and we will achieve, Joy Through Music I got raps up my sleeve buzzing buzzing like a bumble bee Bustin bustin ink on loose leaf four leaf clovers and agreements for new dreams Even if they can't see, we still push! and keep our minds elevated like we breathing' Kush! I'm done living life hiding in a bush, just in case Agent Smith wanna ambush then I'm out with gust like wooosh! We got changes to make do it like the Nike Swoosh Make it better for the next Gen! I'm generation Y and.....Muthafuck ya lies friend! [Chorus] I'm Team Human if you hating you losing Everybody caught up on Race - the big illusion Deception it's a Matrix of pollution What are we doing and what's your contribution ? [x2]
10.	Dreamin' 02:26	lyrics	buy track
[Vrs 1] It's all coming together piece by piece, I heard the call and I took the leap, We all got a voice I say it's time we speak, I see so many people who let go of their dream, toe-tagged deceased, let it die - R.I.P., Deep down I can feel it they're souls not free, Regret eats em alive and they eyes look weak, Better run with your vision boy - I'm moving with fast feet! [Chorus] Dreamin' - Of a better way, I'm dreamin' - Of a better day! - dreamin', - Dreamin' of today, This our moment Don't let it fade away! [Vrs 2] I refuse to ever quit or stop til' my last beat, - Of my heart, like a drum - sounds like Jumanji, It goes rum pa pum like a first kiss by the creek, I was looking out the window dreaming this like ummm... See, Angel whispers down Abby's road, My Courtney Love I let her go, I was getting too spiritual and I don't like being comfortable, If I don't continue to evolve and grow, My whole life I honed this flow, Kept people at a distance inside dreamin' Of this new home! [Chorus] Dreamin' - Of a better way, I'm dreamin' - Of a better day! - dreamin', - Dreamin' of today, This our moment Don't let it fade away! [Vrs 3] Yoooo bro, I waited for ages, Counted out the naysayers and naggin' All the while they judged and hated, While I strengthened up my vibration, Dreamin' of a brand new location, Rockin' them stages in amazement With my girl late-night stargazing, I had a fire inside, - and I finally uncaged it, - Fired up the grill - my rhymes cookin' like Cajon, I was laying around just dreaming Thoughts manifested I live with meaning I'm living out my purpose no leanin' Girls screaming and I'm fiending for more I grew up on Jay, Em, & Tupac Shakur! Bringing, my TRUE COLORS in a downpour See you next go round I am bringing a storm!
