Chinese-American rapper Jin has released a sneak peak of his new track from his up and coming mixtape Sincerely Yours.
He has two new albums coming out this summer, one in English and the other in Cantonese, but due to some upcoming performances (In May) he wanted to produce some new material to perform before the release of his new albums.
The song speaks truth.
Lyrics:
it's quite plain to see without music I don't know where I'd be now I'm feelin' like I'm finally free but this ain't just music to me it can lift me up it can bring me down that's why I'm turnin' it up I hope your listenin' now this ain't just music see me and Hiphop have quite a deep history a relationship filled with much joy and misery started out as strangers soon became friends got exposed to rap music at the tender age of 10 maybe 11 but let's not get technical took me on a journey that I never expected to embark on like tryin' to see with blind eyes no idea what was in store for me at all time flies now I rise nearly 20 years later pushin' 30 my careers just goin' into labor what I'm tryin' to say is no need to research what you are witnessin' right now is a rebirth I don't write songs just so I can write songs cause the right song's impact is quite strong less random punchlines more great rhymes I'm tryin' to change lives the way God changed mine it's quite plain to see without music I don't know where I'd be now I'm feelin' like I'm finally free but this ain't just music to me it can lift me up it can bring me down that's why I'm turnin' it up I hope your listenin' now this ain't just music music can be a platform for self expression how to overcome struggle learnin' life lessons even though to just fall back is so temptin' I'm all about movin' forward progression reality is just somethin' that you can't deny it can make you laugh and it can make you cry the lies are often unseen by the naked eye and they'll sell you anything just to make you buy quiet as keep we influenced heavily overlookin' lyrics busy caught up in the melody next thing you know you naturally sing along deep down you realize that something is wrong blindfolded mind is bein' molded but it ain't your fault the only thing promoted on the regular contents flooded with nonsense so the question remains can you hear your conscience? it's quite plain to see without music I don't know where I'd be now I'm feelin' like I'm finally free but this ain't just music to me it can lift me up it can bring me down that's why I'm turnin' it up I hope your listenin' now this ain't just music they say it's just music but I know better once upon a time I would listen to whatever now I know never underestimate the power it's eatin' up my soul I ain't tryin' to be devoured yeah yeah it can lift me up yeah yeah and it can bring me down yeah that's why I'm turnin' it up yeah yeah I hope your listenin' now it's quite plain to see without music I don't know where I'd be now I'm feelin' like I'm finally free but this ain't just music to me it can lift me up it can bring me down that's why I'm turnin' it up I hope your listenin' now this ain't just music
