J.Lately Bio:

J.Lately distinguishes himself as an emcee with his soulful style and laid back flow. A true appreciation for music along with the unique ability to put everyday life into a relatable perspective has allowed him to flourish in the Bay Area scene and beyond. Growing up as the bi-racial son of Korean and Canadian immigrant parents, and feeling like he never quite had a place to fit in, he is able to find the common ground in the middle. His music possesses the rare ability to make you contemplate and vibe out simultaneously, finding the perfect balance between the conscious and the stoner. Coming from the small town of Sebastopol, and having split time between Oakland and Southern California, his influences are eclectic and mesh together effortlessly to form his own individual style. A relentless drive has kept Lately on tour across the country supporting Bay Area heavy hitters Zion I, Andre Nickatina, Locksmith, and A-Plus of the Hieroglyphics.

Lyrics:

You could say it’s skill or
You could say it’s luck
Numbers going up up up
Tell them go ahead try and call my bluff
I can’t get enough
Hard work works let it do what it does
I’m just like yup yup yup
Shooting for the moon yeah until it gets stuck
We’ve been going up up

I’ve been clocking in early
You’ve been working hard too but
You’ve been lost in a hurry
Too afraid to get dirty
Your 9:00am's my 6:30
All the doubt won’t disturb me
Please don’t call me just text it
Do my job then I exit
Off to crafting my next shit
Don’t do much but expect shit
You sound like you’re dyslexic
They just wanna run from the work like it’s downhill
I got other levels that I haven’t even found still
Cup is half full even if I let an ounce spill
I don’t talk much cause the numbers and the counts will
Yeah I pay my debts
I pay my friends
I pay respects
I pay dues but I save my checks
They say a lot but I save my breaths
And earn every single day I rest like

You could say it’s skill or
You could say it’s luck
Numbers going up up up
Tell them go ahead try and call my bluff
I can’t get enough
Hard work works let it do what it does
I’m just like yup yup yup
Shooting for the moon yeah until it gets stuck
We’ve been going up

I’ve been counting my breaths
I’ve been pounding my chest
I dig down in my depths
I don’t slouch when I’m stressed
I speak out when I’m pressed
I go back to my roots
I’ve been rapping my Truth
I’ve been strapping my boots
I go after my loot
I don’t slack I produce
I’ve been trying to find
another way through this maze
Trying to navigate
what they aggregate
But I know it’s just us stuck
Back in the Crescent as a adolescent
Police tried to cuff us up
Now we’re on a world tour trying to get the world cured
Speaking from the heart, but it’s hard when you are pure
And you aren’t sure
But you endure
Start another venture
Talking bout

You could say it’s skill or
You could say it’s luck
Numbers going up up up
Tell them go ahead try and call my bluff
I can’t get enough
Hard work works let it do what it does
I’m just like yup yup yup
Shooting for the moon yeah until it gets stuck
We’ve been going up up up

How bad a burden it's certainly heard of me
What don't kill me make me Hercules
Jesus died when he was thirty three
Glock thirty three for when the serpent creep
Hurdle over my adversities
Not the one that's running with a heard of sheep
No amount of currencies could purchase me
When I was fucked up and had to ride the train
Scraping couch cushions trying to find some change
I would pray for them times to change
Hard times drove my mind insane
For my niggas that's going through it
Know you feel us
Them problems that pile up a pill won't get rid of
You could say it's skill or
You could say it's luck
I bounced out the bottom now we going up

You could say it’s skill or
You could say it’s luck
Numbers going up up up
Tell them go ahead try and call my bluff
I can’t get enough
Hard work works let it do what it does
I’m just like yup yup yup
Shooting for the moon yeah until it gets stuck
We’ve been going up
