lyrics

I mean it, y'all, there's no rules in a free-for-all
We all beatin' our own path
And make sure the place nicer when we leave it all
No roadmaps, all up, no flats
Got drive, got dreams, and they both tapped
Takin' back roads, throwin' on throwbacks
Feelin' gratitude and always tryin' to hold that
One foot on stage, yeah, one foot in the business world
I'd never forgive myself if I didn't give this a whirl
White-collar office, callin' on top execs
Mappin' out how we gon' profit best
After hours, you can often catch me
Tryin' to find which stage I'm gonna hop to next

Oh-oh, no one way to cut it
Oh-oh, you kinda make it up
Oh-oh, it's always got me runnin'
Don't know if I'll ever catch up
No matter how fast I go
I'm still behind
The lines on this road, so ill-defined

They say to go in 100%
Max out the output at another event
Got me feelin' like, fuck it, I'm spent
And now the bar's where I'm comin' to vent
I can't afford to
Lose power like the cord loose
Before I die like a Ford do
Let me power up and let my vocal cords loose
It's weird to brush shoulders
With business owners and local voters
While tryin' to sweet-talk show promoters
To call it all balanced is a bold misnomer, but
I don't say it's a matter of time
I say it's a matter of grind
Keep goin' on that path that you find
And don't let no one ever come trash your design

Oh-oh, no one way to cut it
Oh-oh, you kinda make it up
Oh-oh, it's always got me runnin'
Don't know if I'll ever catch up
No matter how fast I go
I'm still behind
The lines on this road, so ill-defined

Walkin' on the carpet, sayin of course, your heart be stoppin'
baby, now we can't forget where we came from, no
There's no rulebook, no, never was one
Remember who you are, we're jumpin', both feet in
There's never black or white, it ain't
Wrong or right, livin' a double life

Ooh, yeah, but I sleep at night, mmm
But I sleep at night, ooh, yeah
But I sleep at night

Oh-oh, no one way to cut it
Oh-oh, you kinda make it up
Oh-oh, it's always got me runnin'
Don't know if I'll ever catch up
No matter how fast I go
I'm still behind
The lines on this road, so ill-defined

Got me runnin', got me runnin'
Got me runnin', got me runnin'

about

T-James Salt Lake City, Utah

Peppered in the hip hop genre are a few idiosyncrasies that stylistically don't quite fit the norm; peculiarities, mutations spawning from the same source that stretch the boundaries of their respective classification.
T-James is that audiosyncrasy.
