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:
Gas station coffee in the morning
Like I think I’m still touring
Huh yeah
We’re still scoring
All that other shit is not important
Gas station coffee in the morning
They look at me crazy out in Portland
Huh
There’s more than money that’s important
Add it all up looks like I got a fortune
Late nights we don’t take a day off
Used always doubt myself but I was way off
Huh
Leave it on the court like it’s the playoffs
Phil Jack zenned out through the chaos
Drive throughs
Late night slide throughs
Barely go to sleep we don’t even untie shoes
Water guacamole chips and some high chews
Why would I complain about decisions that I choose
Yeah
Proceed with caution like a blinking light
Success doesn’t bring the kind of piece of mind you think it might
Yeah
Early mornings got me thinking right
And whatever’s in my cup is what I’m drinking like
Gas station coffee in the morning
Like I think I’m still touring
Huh yeah
We’re still scoring
All that other shit is not important
Gas station coffee in the evening
Still here I’m not leaving
Don’t get mad just get even
They can say whatever’s my fault if I believe em
I must be here for a reason
I'm seasoned
Shit could be worse because I breathe it
Breathe in
All my anxiety been leaving
Wasn't always sure of myself now I'm believing
Constantly belittle myself now I'm a beacon
Really just been grinding never mind what I'm achieving
Catch a Gino show backstage the homies chiefing
Girls showing up and they be cheesing
What do you believe in
I believe it all got a cost
You either find a way to lead or you gone be lost
Improve at all costs
Stay true and don't exhaust
The shit that make yourself you
And you gone make yourself a boss
Yeah
Gas station coffee in the morning
Racing to the money gotta floor it
I used to swoop you in my Ford Taurus
I'm hoping that this grinding all worth it
Gas station coffee in the morning
Like I think I’m still touring
Huh yeah
We’re still scoring
All that other shit is not important
Gas station coffee in the evening
Still here I’m not leaving
Don’t get mad just get even
They can say whatever’s my fault if I believe em
