Jay Rocks lyricism is sooo underated. How many of you agree with me? All these other rappers with no meaning/message get higher spots but he spits something real and he stays underground.
I know this song is "old" but major props to Jay Rock for this. Everything about this song is genius. The lyrics, the words, the topic, but the craftsmanship on the way he raps and puts the words together is greatness. Hope to hear a lot more from this man for a long time.
damn this is one of the realest tracks ive heard this year damn jay rock never disappoints go support this album on july 26th support real hiphop this track wa deep bro n its coming frm a guy like jayrock whos been thru it an survived the struggle
***** When you're dealing a lot of drugs whatever house you live in, yours or someone else's, you're putting that house at risk for raids from cops or attacks from competing dealers just to make money or "get it crackin". Hard to be a decoy means you can't hide the fact that you're a big drug dealer cus you have that reputation now. People like to talk instead of keeping their mouth shut so even if you do your best to stay low key, news always spreads.
I remember when I first heard of Jay Rock he had just made the XXL Freshmen list , I been rocking with him ever since then. Once I listened to him it was difficult not be curious about the rest of Black Hippy. Now I'm a loyal fan of all 4 of those brothas. But anyway this song is POWERFUL.
TheCrimsunGames In the words of immortal technique "universal truth is not measured in mass appeal' . A good song doesn't need views to be good. What matters is that you know it's good.
now this is rap! music with a message, not just a message, a message to help the coming generations! Strange Music is the realest. Keep it comin Jay Rock!!
Jay Rock has an intelligent, patient, approach to the game. He knows hes makes real ass music that cool people fuck with. On top of that he uses his street credibility and urges the young men he once was to do something positive with their life. For a gang member to be able to advocate for peace is incredible. He is a wise man and a brilliant artist who delivers hard ass lyrics wuth a raw soulful voice
Really wish EVERYBODY, could just hear this, and listen to it...just once. We got talks of racism and blame everything on that alone. We are our own worst enemy. We gotta fix our shit. Peace ✌️
Unified we stand, Divided we fall... I love the message cause we all blood maybe our colours are different but morally we stand just... Jay Rock one in a few real cats delievering a postive message.
Love this song, Jay Rock doesn't get the recognition he deserves he's at the top of my list of black hippy definitely deeper/lyrical than ab-soul and schoolboy q
I would hope that Kendrick & Schoolboy's rise in popularity would make people pay more attention to Jay Rock & Soul. Jay Rock deserves more respect and way more views than he gets

Real lyrics
what means "risking somebody's house just to get it crackin?"
and "hard to be a decoy" ?
