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:
I drive slow
down the street
wave just like it’s a parade
I need all
Kinds of space
Yeah I’ve been missing for days
Don’t got energy for anything
That gets in the way
Fell for it in the past yeah
That isn’t today
Kudos
Out the way eating on crudo
Taking our dessert to go
Still so far left to go
Don’t let bad times interfere with
Feeling lonely look at everyone that I’m here with
Once you love something you never can be fearless
Gotta speak my truth don’t worry bout appearance
I don’t talk that much though introverted
She likes that I’m shy it’s never been deterrent
Love is love no matter how you bend and turn it
Hate’s not really hate it’s insecurity
Watch your every move they should be working in security
I just smile and wave I’ve never been too good with confrontation
First impressions or small conversation
But I’m working on it
Yeah
I drive slow
down the street
wave just like it’s a parade
I need all
Kinds of space
Yeah I’ve been missing for days
Don’t got energy for anything
That gets in the way
Fell for it in the past yeah
That isn’t today
I drive slow
down the street
wave just like it’s a parade
I need all
Kinds of space
Yeah I’ve been missing for days
Don’t got energy for anything
That gets in the way
Fell for it in the past yeah
That isn’t today
Pull up with the squad, ye
Drip drip, it's the faucet
Never needed a plug though
Coulda sworn we were Amish
Lockpick in the front door
Bay shit we be mobbin
Give my haters applauses
Give my homies deposits
I ain't shit without the homies in my squad
All the phobias and problems really only a mirage
All my brody’s and my dogs who could roast me on a song
And every woman in my life who ever told me I was wrong
Stay with me thru the highs & lows
When my spirit high but iron low
When I lost time, you see it from all sides kinda like a kaleidoscope
When I didn't pick up on the dial tone
Why I didn't pick up? shit iono
But life’s short lemee find my road
Life is a parade, that's why I float
I drive slow
down the street
wave just like it’s a parade
I need all
Kinds of space
Yeah I’ve been missing for days
Don’t got energy for anything
That gets in the way
Fell for it in the past yeah
That isn’t today
I drive slow
down the street
wave just like it’s a parade
I need all
Kinds of space
Yeah I’ve been missing for days
Don’t got energy for anything
That gets in the way
Fell for it in the past yeah
That isn’t today
