James River Blues Lyrics

Yeah

Look

Please excuse my pain

You heard it through my tapes

Not one lie told that's on my brother grave

I'm going to be a star one day that's what my granny say

In the back of seven gables where my brother laid

This here deeper than rap deeper than words

The road to success won't easy

I had some hurdles

I took a flight to Houston right after my graduation

My family couldn't even get out a proper congratulations

Save the tears please

I must leave

The city that I'm from

They don't wanna see you succeed

They want to see you fall like leaves on a tree

Member when I got the news

Grandma Wynn stop breathing

Came a long way

But my journey not complete yet

We ain't see the beach yet

Dubai flow

I smell success around the corner

Like a bakery store

It really be smelling so sweet

Like a fresh of shoes

If you ran up out of options

Tell me what would you do

Momma stressing out

So I took that first flight to Houston

Trying to mess with this music

Cause I knew I could do it

Sell my story to the world

Y'all just hearing my truth

Yeah

More than a rapper I'm some like a author

Call me James Baldwin

Ahead of my time

I might've lost ya

Trying to keep up with me

You might get confused

They ask me what I want to be

I use to make excuses

Cause I ain't no myself

And with time with no avail

Till I got behind this mic

Then I channeled Lauryn Hill

This the miseducation of Tey Boogie

To know me is to love me

I ain't trynna sound mushy

But

Tell me what I can't do and I show you better

Skinny fella but I'm lion hearted

I'm a go getta

Ball out in any weather

Rain, sleet, or snow

I'm on the different plateau

From standing front the store

Fast forward to the Houston

That's when things was moving slow

Fast forward to now my business bout to explode

God flow don't expect nun less

I'm the best

Psalms 23 engraved in my chest

Been through the worst

Forgot about the rest

I'm not perfect I confess

So many mistakes in my past

It's hard to process

Got a chip up on ya shoulder

Make it hard to progress

But yet

Please excuse my pain

You heard it through my tapes

Not one lie told

Ima be a star one day that's what my granny say
