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:
Keep going
If you gotta paddle upstream just keep rowing
The rainy days will water the dirt that seeds grow in
And growth is still growth even if it seems slow and
Yeah a win is still a win even if you don’t post it
And they don’t see it
Progress is progress even if it takes time so be it
Big things can start as a small thing then slowly it
Builds over time
Pouring water in my cup until it spills over mine yeah
Right foot left foot just stride
I’ll swim I’ll float I’ll dive
If I said that I won’t then I lied
Yeah I haven’t ever felt regret when I’ve tried
The only thing I ever made up was my fear
And the only time I wanna give up's when I’m near
Quiet all that negative stuff in my ear
Got me looking in the mirror like
Keep going
If you gotta paddle upstream just keep rowing
The rainy days will water the dirt that seeds grow in
And growth is still growth even if it seems slow and
Yeah a win is still a win when it’s hard keep going
If you gotta paddle upstream just keep rowing
The rainy days will water the dirt that seeds grow in
And growth is still growth even if it seems slow when
It gets hard keep going yeah
Growing like a tree in the wilderness
Nothing to hinder this
Can't get blocked like a cinder it's relentless
Forethought
Since a beginner glitz and glamor
Could be a sore loss
Like you missed a nail with a hammer
Stay moving with that infinite stamina
I go with no thoughts of ever stopping
We rocking
J.Lately Deuce Eclipse ain't for the setup
Staying out of coffins
Seguimos padelante
Movimiento de gigantes
My shoulders holding angels even when the times are frantic
Cooking new maneuvers on an open fire like I'm camping
Nice to meet ya
Never burning bridges taking slices out of life like a pizza
Like a river one direction
Too fast for an infection
Too smart for an injection
I advance then reflection
Always keep it stepping even through the hardest lessons
Thinking of what's next always asking new questions yeah
Keep going
If you gotta paddle upstream just keep rowing
The rainy days will water the dirt that seeds grow in
And growth is still growth even if it seems slow and
Yeah a win is still a win when it’s hard keep going
If you gotta paddle upstream just keep rowing
The rainy days will water the dirt that seeds grow in
And growth is still growth even if it seems slow when
It gets hard keep going yeah
No more enemies
We finna be energy
From infinity
Our lineagy
Be anything that let's our souls have validity
Humility
Is something I never let that devil see
Tranquility mentally and visually
Is how I want to be
But past times be
Haunting me
And sometimes I be thinking that's what the world want me to be
Slip back into the bad times always taunting me
I just move past the foes
See the through the smoke and mirrors though these thoughts provoke
I know
This is our life it's true magic
My goals is righteous
And spiritual
It's a miracle that we made it this far
It gives us some hope that humanity's vanity
Hasn't hung itself on the last rope
It's hard
Most living broken and scarred
It's time to take that shit back before they take it too far
Keep going
If you gotta paddle upstream just keep rowing
The rainy days will water the dirt that seeds grow in
And growth is still growth even if it seems slow and
Yeah a win is still a win when it’s hard keep going
If you gotta paddle upstream just keep rowing
The rainy days will water the dirt that seeds grow in
And growth is still growth even if it seems slow when
It gets hard keep going yeah
