about

Hey yall, This is Jia and I wanted to thank you all for listening to my new single. What "Breathe Under Water" means to me is the feeling of trying to survive the impossible. This is a fawkd up Society and a lot of us are going thru it. The pressure can break us and take us far away from who we really are. They want us to hate ourselves and make us believe we aren't special. Even I can feel bogged down by life's heavy hands at times. We all endure the pressure, but in the end, we have to find our happiness. Growing up my Mom and Pops pushed me to be Great and Survive. Music has always been my family's outlet. Mom is a Poet, Pops and Uncle Mark were musicians, even Grandpa George Davis was a Star in our Family. Because of that I find strength in my family, my foundation and my music. I keep a smile on my face even when it feels like I'm drowning. We have to be strong and we have to adapt, we have to learn to Breathe Under Water.... Thank you all for always rocking with me. For everyone that has been down since the BNP days and for those that are just catching up, I am very Grateful for you all...

EVERYBODY SAY "BITS 'N PIECES"!!!!!
#JPR #BeYou

lyrics

Verse 1

Now what's the moral of the story of a story without morals. Lessons from off of actions distractions from out the orals. I'm Immortal releasing my soul in use of portals. You can feel it in your heart yeah dat part inside your torso.Of course so in too deep breathing as if it's shallow.

Achievements all ignored without cap gown and tassels. Fresh up out the mud like Rambo looked upon like Sambo. I stand out that's the reason I'm wearing Camo. Butta Timbs on my feet to feel complete. Along the Mississippi you swear I'm from the east. But I ain't throw the ink to the pad as if it's paint. Yeah coulda woulda shoulda it ain't no such thing as caint. Dats what momma said but dats how dramas fed. So I pause like a comma bullshit kinda spreads. Seems impossible to succeed where Breeds are slaughtered. But where we from and how we' built we be breathing up underwater.



Verse 2

Now what's today's mathematics knowledge wisdom and knowledge (Dec 1rst). And I learned that from the Gods they ain't teach dat in college.

After High school it's sink or swim bling or dim. Hit the block with a wicked jump shot or reach the rim.

Organize confusion jealousy comes from loosing. Instrumentals in my headphones the chaos leads to soothing. Of the suffering remove the pain like buffering. Adjusting in the memory readjust like bufferin.Medicine to Hip Hop the obvious when encountered. Tracks be like snacks I devour em like I'm Dahmer. Threats come as Ants to God so I avoid em.

Consumers spread the message my only jobs to spoil em. Still I breathe though my head is underwater. The mystery of history is me cause I'm the author. Seems impossible to succeed where breeds are slaughtered. But where I'm from and how I'm built I'm respected from off my Aura.
