On My is a track written and produced by Oakland native Jared Thurston on his birthday as a way to celebrate with his fanbase. The Chorus to the song was originally performed by J himself, but upon frequent listening he decided a much smoother vocal was necessary to bring out the track’s full potent...
[intro: Jay'Steezy]
Although failure would be bad, never trying would be worse
I put all my chips on me because I know just what I'm worth
[Verse 1: Jthurston]
If you ever threw salt you are not real
Still I'm staying on track like a hot wheel
Did a lot but I gotta do a lot still
Trying to figure out exactly how the top feel
Look, on my Oakland Cali bay shit
If you ain't talkin' cash don't say shit
Shooting for the Complex cover y'all basic
Got the whole city goin' up like a spaceship
Whoa, I'm on a roll now
And it ain't lookin' like I'm about to slow down
Bet your fave got his game from the Oaktown
They ain't know back then but they know now
Look, cold stares when I pass through
You did rap before me but I passed you
Scared to put me on a record 'cause I'll gas you
If the roles was reversed I'd be mad too, yep
[Chorus: Jay'Steezy]
I been on my grind gotta do this everyday
Got too much I wanna have I can't see no other way
And my hunger's like no other world is sitting on my plate
And you know I'm with the squad so you know we came to play
Paper chasing til' the day we leave this earth
Know that loyalty is key so I put my people first
Although failure would be bad, never trying would be worse
I put all my chips on me 'cause I know just what I'm worth
[Verse 2: Jthurston]
If you a real day one, stand up
Haters sit down know you can't stand us
See my wave on tidal got my fans up
Stole the show guess I'm screwing all yo plans up
Yikes, 10 deep in the cockpit
I could turn a dive bar to a mosh pit
And I ride my own wave like the Nautilus
Don't be tryna imitate you are not this, nope
Goin' up like a pole vault
And the chip on my shoulder is your fault
You ain't gang gang gang then it's your loss
Feel like I was sent here to piss the world off
Stop, if you thinking you can stop this
Made it through too many things trying to stop this
Make sure I'm never in a place that a cop is
Rest in Peace Oscar Grant we ain't forgot shit
[Chorus: Jay'Steezy]
I been on my grind gotta do this everyday
Got too much I wanna have I can't see no other way
And my hunger's like no other world is sitting on my plate
And you know I'm with the squad so you know we came to play
Paper chasing til' the day we leave this earth
Know that loyalty is key so I put my people first
Although failure would be bad, never trying would be worse
I put all my chips on me 'cause I know just what I'm worth
