about

YOU GOT TO KNOW IT sets the tone for the entire record. Each track musically reflects pieces of this song. Lyrically, its reflective and confrontational. It also features one of my favorite singer's from the VIVE Worship team, Brandon Larry. Stay tuned for the music video coming soon!

lyrics

Chorus:
It don’t matter if you live or die, the truth, you got to know it
I know, it weigh’s heavy on your mind, but the truth, you got to know it, you got to know it

J7 Verse 1:
They say they like the way I’m flowing now

River Nile, spitting with a purpose like I own it now

You know the style, mumble rappers they be screaming foul

I’m gunning now, time to bring more Thunder down

Fist like the hammer of Thor breaking your spinal drown

Praise Elohim for the gift, keeping my mental sound

The world be struggling, block hot from hustling

The shot clock stops, The stock market be plummeting
The government covers it, don’t matter who be running it
The punishment felt on the people forced to trust in it
Shiesty criminals labeled democrat-republicans
Parties need a sign that says “Under Construction Since...”
The world’s out of order it’s the sign of the times
My wife and my kids weigh heavy on my mind
So I work for my people rock steady on the grind
Put a mark on the planet to inspire mankind

Chorus:
It don’t matter if you live or die, the truth, you got to know it
I know, it weigh’s heavy on your mind, but the truth, you got to know it, you got to know it

J7 Verse 2:
In case you don’t know who I be
J7 on the mic flow like an IV
Been rhyming for long stretches of time
Call me rubber-band man this is a rugged man’s jam
Didn’t come in with a plan but a mic in my hand
On purpose like a scale that’s grand, peace to my fam
Bay Area my land whether we fall or stand
My grind be relentless, you cat’s stay pretentious
I’ve been in the trenches, where the murders seem senseless
Questioning your senses, like serving a life sentence
Your soul fading out like some incense, it’s intense!
Last thing you remember was the present, no interest
How long will it take to find peace in our hearts
If we consumed by material things and body parts
We stand in the spot and cause violence a lot
But what about a new heart that can straighten out the arch?

Chorus:
It don’t matter if you live or die, the truth, you got to know it
I know, it weigh’s heavy on your mind, but the truth, you got to know it, you got to know it

Outro Bridge:
I need peace-of-mind now
I need peace-of-mind right now
