The Harlem native, JR Writer’s, one-on-one demeanor is quite introverted, his
on-camera and stage presence resemble nothing of the same. JR Writer’s flow
quickly grabs the attention of any listener and his cleaver lyrics exude a sort
of surprising confidence. He has made appearances on underground mixtapes with
the Diplomats on songs like “Shake” with Cam’ron but this time around he gets an
entire track to confirm his ill lyrical skills. His tracks on the Diplomats
second LP Diplomatic Immunity 2 gives the spotlight to JR Writer as he secures
his spot as a member of the Diplomats with the poise of a first-round draft pick.
JR Writer brings a strong, silent-type, personality to the Diplomats, which
leaves plenty of room for true lyrical maximizing.
Your Way
J.R. Writer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why do we sink like ships at sea?
Oh woah oh
What's your purpose?
What's your purpose
In this push and pull and push and pull world?
They'll tell you that you will fall behind
Get back in line
Pressure rising
Pressure rising to take their way
Oh woah oh
Make your meaning
Make your meaning
In this push and pull and push and pull world
They'll tell you that you will fall behind
Get back in line
But it's your way, your time
They'll tell you that you will fall behind
Get back in line
But it's your way, your time
You know they'll tell you that you will fall behind
Get back in line
But it's your way, your time
They'll tell you that you will fall behind
Get back in line
But it's your way, your time
They'll tell you that you will fall behind
(You're gonna fall behind)
Get back in line
(Get back in line)
But it's your way, your time
They'll tell you that you will fall behind
(You're gonna fall behind)
Get back in line
(Get back in line)
But it's your way, your time
The lyrics to J.R. Writer's song "Your Way" speak to the struggle of maintaining individuality and authenticity in a world that constantly pressures us to conform and follow the crowd. The opening line, "Why do we sink like ships at sea?" suggests that we often succumb to societal pressures and lose our sense of self, similar to ships going down in the vast ocean. The repetition of the phrase "push and pull world" highlights the conflicting forces that try to shape us and dictate our actions.
The lyrics emphasize the importance of finding one's purpose and making a meaningful impact in the world. The line "What's your purpose in this push and pull and push and pull world?" reflects the desire to understand our role amidst the chaos and noise of society. The repeated reminder that "it's your way, your time" empowers the listener to stay true to themselves and their own journey, despite the pressure to conform and follow a predetermined path.
The chorus repeatedly states that others will try to make you believe that you are falling behind and should get back in line. However, the message remains clear that it is ultimately up to the individual to define their own path and determine their own timing. The lyrics encourage the listener to prioritize their own desires, goals, and dreams, regardless of the opinions or expectations of others.
Overall, "Your Way" is a rallying cry to embrace individuality, resist conformity, and stay true to oneself in a world that often tries to mold us into something we are not.
