He lived in a simple house where his parents taught him to work for everything he wanted. At about age 11 he was running a paper route to pay for his first trumpet. It was obvious early on that J was blessed with a gift as he would move up through the ranks of his jr. high. Later in high school he started taking his singing seriously and built his own studio in his bedroom. Equipment was expensive so he had to improvise with dental floss stapled to the ceiling holding up the mic and a cool whip lid with a hole in it and nylons stretched across for the spit guard. He released two independent albums The Intro and So Close but felt he needed to be closer to where everything happens so he packed everything he could, and drove across the country to New York City from his home in Tacoma, Washington. When he arrived in NY, he immediately started meeting with any writers/producers he could, but none seemed to be the right fit.

J recently teamed up with hit producers Phantom Boyz (Alexandra Burke “Bad Boys” Christina Aguilara “The Beautiful People”) and has since released his 3rd independent original album “Phantom Boyz Presents: J Rice”. He has grown on YouTube to over 165,000 subscribers and over 26,000,000 views. J is now working on producing and writing his own material for his 4th album along with writing and producing for other artists.His new album will be released in early 2013 by Omega Music Group/JCM Music Group INgrooves/Fontana.

J Rice Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I’ve been kicked around,
And let down,
Been told a lie,
And lied about,
It wasn’t until I found you
Right here in front of me.
I had to be broken so I could see,
The angel in front of me,
And I’ll never take for granted,
Another day.


And I’m gonna fight to keep you mine,
Before I let you walk out of my life…
I’ll die,If you’re not by my side
I’m gonna fight for the life
I’ve been lookin’for …for so much time
I’m gonna fight,
I’m gonna fight.

I’ve been used a day
Then trown away
Been told to leave
Then asked to stay
I was so confuse until
The day that I met you.

I had to be broken so I could see
The angel in front of me
And I’ll never take for granted
Another day.

And I’m gonna fight to keep you mine,
Before I let you walk out of my life…
I’ll die,If you’re not by my side
I’m gonna fight for the life
I’ve been lookin’for …for so much time
I’m gonna fight.

Then I’m gonna fight
For every moment
That I wasted being broken
You deserve it,every minute
And I wanna give it
All to you so take my hand
And follow me home
Cuz you know…
I’m gonna fight.
I’m gonna fight,
Not gonna give up.


And I’m gonna fight to keep you mine,
Before I let you walk out of my life…
I’ll die,If you’re not by my side
I’m gonna fight for the life
I’ve been lookin’for …for so much time
I’m gonna fight.

And I’m gonna fight to keep you mine,
Before I let you walk out of my life…
I’ll die,If you’re not by my side
I’m gonna fight for the life
I’ve been lookin’for …for so much time




I’m gonna fight.
I’m gonna fïght.
