Intro
Crafting Waves: That Yung Lad's Journey Through Self-Discovery and Authenticity
Lyrics
Everything recorded in my room
Recording everything in the artist's room.
Didn’t have it so I made some room
Creating space for creativity despite limitations.
Gotta try the closet or in the corner too
Exploring different spaces for recording, including unconventional ones.
That’s quite nice this sound’ll do
Expressing satisfaction with the sound produced.
Didn’t know the power of the poem
Realizing the impact and significance of poetry.
Till I wrote it down yo I had to show em
Sharing personal experiences through written expression.
Y’know spazz a little just to show the picture
Adding intensity to convey a vivid image.
They say “Oh wait god damn he flowing”
Receiving positive reactions for the flow and expression.
I had to show it
Emphasizing the need to showcase talent.
I had to flow with
Flowing with the creative process.
All of the energy stored in my person
Utilizing personal energy for creative output.
When I hear the beat well my mind is searching
Searching for inspiration when hearing a beat.
For the perfect moment I breathe devotion
Breathing dedication into the craft.
I close my eyes and I see the ocean
Experiencing a vivid mental image during creative moments.
Since thirteen I loved rap its where I feel at home
Feeling at home in the realm of rap since the age of thirteen.
Since sixteen I wrote raps throwing shots at your dome
Engaging in rap battles from the age of sixteen.
Now twenty-nine and I bust facts it’s a part of my soul
Expressing factual information as an integral part of the artist's being.
Acting safe people done that I don’t fear the unknown
Rejecting the concept of playing it safe and embracing the unknown.
From an opinion you base your decision but who in control
Highlighting the influence of opinions on decision-making.
I cherish perspective but know my direction this here is my own
Valuing perspective but asserting personal direction.
The realest of lessons come so unexpected born out of our lows
Recognizing profound lessons emerging unexpectedly from low points.
Like real feelings turned un-healthy if you love me then go
Acknowledging the need to let go of unhealthy relationships, even if love is present.
Wrote recorded I was on the clock
Recording and writing lyrics while on a time constraint.
Mind never there don’t tell my boss
Mentally absent from work due to creative pursuits.
Hey you taught me lot you was wrong pops
Reflecting on lessons learned from a father figure.
More to life than just a job
Emphasizing the importance of life beyond employment.
More to life than a silly title
Rejecting the significance of superficial titles.
So I practice craft call that recital
Committing to the practice of artistic skills as a performance.
See some artists as my fucking idols
Considering certain artists as sources of inspiration.
Now when you hear me there's no denial
Asserting that the artist's work is undeniable.
Hadda write it record it myself
Taking personal responsibility for the creative process.
Ain't no body gonna give you something just because you preaching something else
Stating the importance of self-reliance in conveying a message.
From the ground up we call that a startup can’t be waiting on someone to help
Embracing the challenges of starting from the bottom and not relying on external support.
Broke it down as I took a toke and then I figured how we do it well
Breaking down the creative process while reflecting on it.
By being ourselves
Acknowledging the uniqueness of the artist by being authentic.
By being ourselves
Reiterating the importance of authenticity in the creative process.
