By 2003, he inked a distribution deal with Harvest Media Group that gave him the ability to sell his first CD titled “16 Weeks” in Best Buy stores and throughout the country. In 2004, he opened for D12 in Milwaukee, WI, and in 2005 moved to Los Angeles in hopes to become more established as a music artist. Unfortunately, the Golden State veered his music career back to the Midwest, and in 2009, J decided it was time to clock back in and capitalize on his God-given talent

Today, he’s back—better than ever—and ready to tell the world that music is his life…his DNA. At a time where Hip-Hop has lost its form and lyrical content, J brings energy back into the music scene. From his mind-altering metaphors to his powerful and emotional delivery, J’s aggressive melodic flow takes Hip-Hop to a whole new level. Open your ears and bear-witness to an explosive artist who refuses to stop letting it all out…no pun intended….

When the wall come crashing down (all fall down)
I won't always be around (I won't always be around)
And girl the sparks we had (and the sparks we had)
I think it's burning out (I think it's burning out)
Devil in a dress (devil in a dress)
You came up in my life and made a mess
I'm not impressed (I'm not impressed)
I gave my all girl I think it's best

If I let you go before you go here's one thing that you need to know (to know)
It's never the right time (never the right time)
No it's never the right time (never the right time)
You know it's never the right time (never the right time)
To say goodbye (to say goodbye)
To say goodbye
You never know what you have until you lose it (lose it)
Now you wanna act like a fan cuz I'm writing music (music)
You had a lot of problems loose screws you had a couple of 'em
You steady popping bottles lotta blues girl you a lot of trouble (lot of trouble)
Devil in a dress (devil in a dress)
You came up in my life and made a mess
I'm not impressed (I'm not impressed)
I gave my all girl I think it's best
If I let you go before you go here's one thing that you need to know (to know)
It's never the right time (never the right time)
No it's never the right time (never the right time)
You know it's never the right time (never the right time)

To say goodbye (to say goodbye)
To say goodbye (say goodbye)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to J. Crist's song Say Goodbye describe the pain and longing of a girl who remembers the happy days she spent in love with her ex-boyfriend. She asks if they can go back to those days but knows they cannot. She still remembers their first kiss and the fights they had but they are now memories she can only treasure. Even though they made a promise together, it cannot be fulfilled. She says it is time to say goodbye, but she cannot forget the treasure he left in her heart and the pain that reminds her of the memories they shared. Even though they will never meet again, she still thinks about him and wishes he won't forget her.

The song is a portrayal of a relationship that has ended and the feelings that come with it. The lyrics of the song are illustrated beautifully, with a melancholic but powerful melody that lingers on in the listener's mind. The raw emotions expressed in the lyrics make the song an emotionally charged one.
