J. Stalin claims in an interview that he was born into poverty and earned money as a child by selling candy bars on the BART trains. Around age 13, he began recording and selling rap music. A member of Oakland's hyphy culture, he is described by a local magazine as a "rapper and sideshow participant".
Although young and boyish-looking, J. Stalin adopted a tough rapper persona. He references Joseph Stalin in his stage name because they shared the same initials, and "he was short like me, but he was always smashin' on everybody." In a recent interview he remarked about his home and lifestyle, "This is West Oakland, man. This is the bottoms right here." He went on to say that the crime rate in his neighborhood was so high, the city had remodeled the housing units in his housing project to remove the back doors so that criminals could not escape from home raids by the police.
J. Stalin's first widely released performances arose when a DJ Daryl, a local recording studio owner, placed him on a track he was recording. A colleague of Daryl's, Richie Rich, was impressed enough to put J. Stalin on three tracks in his 2002 album Nixon Pryor Roundtree album and two more as a member of Rich's group, the Replacement Killers. He later recorded and performed with artists such as G-Stack, Beeda Weeda of the Hieroglyphics collective, Keak Da Sneak and San Quinn, E-40, The Luniz, The Team, The Frontline, Mob Figaz, Yukmouth, Numskull, Shock G, and others. As of 2006 he had released roughly 7 mixtapes and had four releases scheduled for 2007.[1] Mekanix and Zoo Entertainment released "On Behalf of the Streets" in early May 2007. J. Stalin is the President of Town Thizzness, and the owner of Livewire Records. He is also the front man in his group, Livewire Da Gang. The Livewire Gang consists of many artists from various neighborhoods in North, East, and West Oakland. Some of these artists include, Shady Nate, Jay Jonah, Philthy Rich, Stevie Joe, Lil Rue, Lil Blood, Ruben Stunner, R.O.B., Ronald Mack, Kiwi, HD, Major D, and Mayback.
Let Your Guard Down
J. Stalin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't wait til I get home
Got someone precious who is waiting there for me
Day dreaming of holding you tight
And making love all through the night
Suddenly I snap back to reality
Time moves so damn slow
When you're ready to go
I've got to get a way
To be with my babe
So she can hear me say
Baby let your hair down and let's take it nice and slow
There's no need to go fast
We can make it last
It's the only way to go
So baby let your hair down for good loving all night long
A night for you and me
Filled with ecstasy
With your love I can't go wrong
Plans for dinner by candle light
Stepping out to enjoy the night
She's killing it in that little black dress and her smile
But before we could reach the ride
I grab her hand and go back inside
I gotta have you once more
Drop our clothes on the floor
Cuz this will take us awhile
I can't help myself
I must confess
Baby you're the best
And I'm so glad your mine
We were made by design
I'll have you all the time
Baby let your hair down and let's take it nice and slow
There's no need to go fast
We can make it last
It's the only way to go
So baby let your hair down for good loving all night long
A night for you and me
Filled with ecstasy
With your love I can't go wrong
Baby you know that I love you
You know how much I adore you
And I'll do anything for you just say what you need
Girl there's no need to worry
Cuz we don't have to hurry
Let me see all your glory give it all to me
So baby let your hair down for good loving all night long
A night for you and me
Filled with ecstasy
With your love I can't go wrong
Baby let your hair down
Let your hair down
Baby let your hair down
Let your hair down

Chained to this desk all day long
I am stuck working at this desk for hours on end
I can't wait til I get home
I eagerly anticipate going home
Got someone precious who is waiting there for me
I have a loved one eagerly waiting for my return
Day dreaming of holding you tight
I often fantasize about embracing you closely
And making love all through the night
Engaging in passionate lovemaking until morning comes
Suddenly I snap back to reality
I am abruptly brought back to the present moment
Time moves so damn slow
Each moment feels agonizingly slow
When you're ready to go
Whenever you are prepared to leave with me
Staring at the door
I find myself gazing at the exit
I've got to get a way
I must find a means of escape
To be with my babe
So that I can be with my beloved
So she can hear me say
In order for her to hear these words from me
Baby let your hair down and let's take it nice and slow
Darling, relax and let's proceed at a comfortable pace

An evening dedicated to our relationship

Your love guides me in the right direction
Plans for dinner by candle light
Arrangements have been made for a romantic candlelit dinner
Stepping out to enjoy the night
Heading out to fully embrace the evening
She's killing it in that little black dress and her smile
She looks absolutely stunning in her attractive black dress, complemented by her charming smile
But before we could reach the ride
However, before we could reach our means of transportation
I grab her hand and go back inside
I seize her hand and pull her back indoors
I gotta have you once more
I have an insatiable desire for you one more time
Drop our clothes on the floor
We undress and let our garments fall to the ground
Cuz this will take us awhile
Because this intimate encounter will last for a considerable amount of time
I can't help myself
I am unable to control my own actions
I must confess
I feel compelled to admit
Baby you're the best
Darling, you are truly outstanding
And I'm so glad your mine
I am immensely grateful that you belong to me
We were made by design
Our connection was purposefully planned
I'll have you all the time
I want to have you with me constantly
Baby you know that I love you
Darling, you are aware of my deep affection for you
You know how much I adore you
You understand the extent of my admiration for you
And I'll do anything for you just say what you need
I am willing to do whatever it takes to fulfill your desires, simply communicate them to me
Girl there's no need to worry
My dear, you need not be concerned
Cuz we don't have to hurry
Because we do not need to rush
Let me see all your glory give it all to me
Reveal your true self to me, share everything with me
Let your hair down for good loving all night long
Relax and fully immerse yourself in a night of passionate lovemaking
Let your hair down
Unwind and let go of any inhibitions
Let your hair down
Relax and be yourself
Baby let your hair down
Darling, allow yourself to relax and let go
Let your hair down
Unwind and embrace the moment
