It was a way for him to express himself, and he deeply fell in love with the art. Coming from a Haitian and Togolese family, he infused the native music he grew up on with the modern hip hop sounds of today. Aklesso seeks to make positive music that shows people that there is hope beyond the struggles of today. So far Aklesso has made an EP called “Dead God”, wrote for acclaimed Christian Artist/Producer “Gawvi”, and has gone on a 5 city tour across the country. He is currently working on a project he feels will change the landscape of music.

She call me I'm crazy, I knowin that I ain't sleep in four days and she
Gibberish mumble
I can't sleep Sleep
Matter fact I need some Jesus
Matter fact I need a reason
Matter fact I need Help
I need some Jesus Okay
Matter fact I need a reason Lowkey

Matter fact I need some Jesus Rest in Peace
Matter fact I just Help Me
PTSD make me shake and bake like Bobby Boucher
I need a water, water break
They wanna see me go rage
Man, I'm like Baki Unchained
Mess around
Go and catch a case
Diamonds on my neck, make me go insane I might spend it all, make me blow my brain

Uh, Uh, Okay
Every chain broke when Jesus changed my life
Everything changed when I almost took my life
Everything, everything, everything, mm-hmm, everything
Hop on (I)95, I might just swerve the ghost Swerve
I just did some things, I might go toe for toe tic for tac
Demons know my name, they see the heavens host
Luci, he so aggy, he be throwin' bows Okay
Question, all that they said to me
I heard plenty of things, none to my benefit
I walk with the spirit, what you gon' say to me
But this life's so sweet its like cocaine to me
I'm in my head, I'm really down bad
I seen a psychologist she said, I'm down bad
I pray to God he said, you're down bad
He has my name, he says, you're down bad

Whoa, whoa, whoa, I just hit a lick, boy whoa, whoa, whoa, say a prayer and that's it, boy
Birthday, Deathday, too close, money too long, it's a scapegoat
Oh, dang, he just offed himself, he just did it
Oh, dang, Nike tube tech with the fitted
Luci said, stay, casket pretty to succeed
Is it fame that you seek Life is grim, sow just reap
Talk, talk, talk to me nice, woe I might just change your life, Zoe
Like OJ, I'ma beat the case, Like Tay-K, I just did the race
I'm, I'm up, never geeked can't mix a bad mind with the, oooouiiiee

Rock Saint Laurent, don't mean I'm Gucci, runnin' from my problems, feelin' like Usain
I Need Help

Overall Meaning

In the first part of the lyrics, Aklesso talks about feeling overwhelmed and in need of help. He describes his struggles with sleep deprivation, potentially due to his own thoughts and experiences haunting him. He mentions needing Jesus, suggesting a longing for a sense of purpose or spiritual guidance to help him through his difficulties. The repetition of the phrase "I need Help" emphasizes his desperation for assistance, indicating that he is reaching a breaking point.

Aklesso goes on to mention his experiences with PTSD, likening his inner turmoil to the character Bobby Boucher from the movie "The Waterboy." He expresses the need for a break and hints at the pressure he feels from others wanting to see him react in a certain way. The reference to diamonds and spending money recklessly may signal a coping mechanism or attempt to distract himself from his inner struggles through material possessions.

The lyrics then take a more introspective turn as Aklesso reflects on the transformative power of Jesus in his life. He highlights the drastic change that occurred when he was on the brink of taking his own life, indicating a pivotal moment of intervention that saved him. The mention of demons and spiritual warfare suggests a constant battle within himself, with references to Luci (Lucifer) representing the darker influences he must resist.

Towards the end of the lyrics, Aklesso grapples with thoughts of self-destruction and the allure of fame. He acknowledges the dark thoughts that plague him, seeking solace in prayer and grappling with the juxtaposition of life and death. The mention of OJ beating the case and Tay-K's race alludes to a sense of defiance and determination to overcome adversity. Ultimately, the repeated plea for help underscores Aklesso's vulnerability and his recognition of the need for external support to navigate the challenges he faces.
