Referring to J.C.I.T.Y as a rapper is most certainly an understatement. He is a "well rounded MC" born into a class of his own. His style can not be confined into one category. J.C.I.T.Y’s latest albums “Just Couldn’t Imagine This Yet”, “Who’s Better?” , “From the Bottom to the Top” & “Back to the Future” are tangible proof of such. Between the albums J.C.I.T.Y provides 76 tracks of quality music which is very versatile and consistent. It is rare you come across an artist like J.C.I.T.Y who possesses what I like to call, the “No skip” factor. J.C.I.T.Y is known for his ill lyrics, witty punch-lines, great song making ability and honesty. Aside from having the pleasure to listen to good music you also get to know him personally through his songs. He writes songs about topics touching on his life, what goes on in the hood, current events, relationships etc. At the same time he can easily turn around and write a hit song for the clubs or just lyrically annihilate any opposing rapper just for the fun of it. Unlike many others, the pure passion for Hip Hop and the talent for making quality music is what forced the evolution from Jason Simon to J.C.I.T.Y. He simply has a niche for knowing what the people want to hear, and he is able to deliver without compromising who he is. A combination of that and his dislike for mediocrity is what makes him superior to other MC’s. J.C.I.T.Y has been through many different situations from being shot, to attaining a college degree. His many experiences from both sides of the track allow his songs to have various subject matter. J.C.I.T.Y has seen and experienced life in several cities, but proudly represents the streets of Boston, MA where he was born and raised. Many people proclaim J.C.I.T.Y to be “Boston’s Hip Hop King”, though he would be proud to wear the crown, this no where near satisfies him. He plans and is in the process of displaying his undeniable talent to the World. He is arguably Hip Hop’s next big thing.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I never really understood how to live life
Shit I always do never feels right
And I know everyday I'm running out of time
And I always say this the last straw
But I'm stupid, I do nothing right at all
Everyday in my room screaming at the wall
I can't see no more
I can't see no more

I can't see no more
I can't see no more
I'm still broken up and torn from that same love
I can't let it get to me, and because
In a year I don't know what I will become
(In a year I don't know what I will become)
I wake up every morning always feeling pissed off
I don't know what it is with me, it's off
What a way to go and kick things off
(What a way to go kick things)
I can't take none of this or that, I could never in my life
I can't take none of this or that, I could never in my life
I can't take none of this or that, I could never in my life
I can't take none of this or that, I could never in my life
I never really understood how to live life
Shit I always do never feels right
And I know everyday I'm running out of time
And I always say this the last straw
But I'm stupid, I do nothing right at all
Everyday in my room screaming at the wall
I can't see no more
I can't see no more
I can't see no more
I can't see no more
I told myself when I grow up I'll never ever live this way
But I was wrong then I became the one man that I hate
I'm so surprised after this I can't change
Can't get better I must change up my ways
God will never forgive the things I did in my life

But it's just too much for me
Yeah it's just too much for me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of J.C.I.T.Y's "The Future" describe a sense of overwhelming confusion and dissatisfaction with life. The singer expresses frustration at never feeling like they are doing the right thing, and feeling like they are running out of time to figure it all out. They seem to be struggling with the aftermath of a failed relationship ("I'm still broken up and torn from that same love"), and feeling stuck in their current state ("Everyday in my room screaming at the wall").

Despite trying to convince themselves that they will change and grow, the singer is unable to shake their self-hatred and sense of hopelessness. They feel like they have become the person they always promised they wouldn't, and they are struggling to find a way out of their current situation.

Overall, "The Future" is a powerful and raw expression of the difficulties that come with growing up and trying to find one's place in the world. The lyrics are relatable for anyone who has ever felt lost, confused, or unable to break out of negative patterns, and the song provides a sense of catharsis and empathy for those struggling with similar issues.
