Here i am
V.A. Uj Ulet Lyrics

Yo, raise the level, bass bottom to treble
Let's elevate the music with a powerful bass and treble mix.

Forever keep it ghetto
Stay true to your roots and your culture.

Funk and heavy metal
A fusion of funk and heavy metal music styles.

Fuck the devil
Reject evil and negative influences in life.

Unify the rebel
Bring together those who resist the status quo and challenge it.

Whistle like a kettle
Make your own sound like a boiling kettle whistling with excitement.

With a fly acapello
Singing with a soulful and impressive acapella melody.

Smooth and mellow
Sing with a smooth and relaxed cadence to the music.

Locked load and settle
Secure in your power and confident in your abilities.

Shine through times with rhymes bright like yellow
Express yourself in times of darkness and be a bright light to others.

Taste and swallow, lead and never follow
Take risks and be bold in your decisions.

Break it like a bottle
Shatter expectations and norms in your approach to music and life.

Inspire like a role model
Be a source of inspiration for others to look up to.

Say, "I am" (I am) "Somebody" (Somebody)
Believe in yourself and declare your self-worth and value.

Yo, my soul, bounce rock and roll
My spirit echoes the energy and rhythm of rock and roll music.

Tumble with the rhythm
Move with the beat and flow of the music.

Heat the mic when it's cold
Bring warmth and passion to every performance, even when the audience is cold and distant.

I was told "Be Bold"
Someone advised me to be daring and brave in my artistic pursuits.

Whether platinum or gold
Regardless of fame or fortune, stay true to yourself and your message.

Keep it solid
Be consistent and reliable in your artistry and character.

Do the knowledge
Keep learning and growing in your craft and in life.

Til' I reach my goal
Stay focused and driven until I accomplish my dreams and aspirations.

My hunger-pain thunder
My desire and passion for success reverberates like thunder.

Lumberjack the fifth wonder
Conquer the impossible and achieve what others thought was impossible.

I never slumber 'cause I keep it on the under
I don't sleep because I am always working and creating music, even in the quietest moments.

My post beat for people in the street
I make music for the people who live in the streets and experience that lifestyle.

Ghetto M-you-S-I-see (We bring the heat)
We represent the musical culture of the ghetto and we bring passion and energy to the music.

That African soul
The music I create has roots in African culture and soulfulness.

Clap black power impact
My music carries the message of black empowerment and progress.

Who said ghetto rap was all about a dope sack?
Reject stereotypes and shallow perceptions of what 'ghetto rap' is.

A pimp slap or a big black gatt
Neither violence nor materialism are the focus of my music.

Fuck around and get jacked
Don't mess with me or my music or you'll face the consequences.

I'm not a gangsta but I boogie wit beats
I don't have to be a gangster to make good music.

No gang affiliation in my lyrics or speech
I don't promote or glorify gang culture in my music.

But still I keep it straight hood-hop techniques
I make music that reflects my roots and upbringing in the hood.

South Central Fundamentals J5 emcees
My style is influenced by the South Central LA hip-hop scene and the group Jurassic 5.

Who's to say if I choose to make moves today
No one can predict my next big move or decision.

Whether I win or lose or I end up on the news today
Regardless of the outcome, I will continue to create music and make headlines.

Amuse but never confuse
Entertain listeners but don't leave them feeling perplexed or unintelligent.

Still got dues to pay
I am not yet at the peak of my career and still have a lot to work for and earn.

You abuse elegant rules when you use clichés
Using overused and predictable phrases in your music is a form of artistic laziness and dishonesty.

They got you sittin' on the edge of your seat
The music I make keeps listeners engaged and excited.

Creatin' beef
Starting drama or conflict through music or lyrics is unnecessary and immature.

Mark of the beast
References to the Bible's 'mark of the beast' and other ominous symbols are powerful in music and culture.

Code on the street
The unspoken rules and codes of behavior in the streets are often reflected in music.

Cease and decease
Stop the harmful and negative influences in your life.

Never the least
Despite any setbacks or challenges, I will always stand strong.

Let me repeat
I want to make sure this message is clear and memorable.

The situation gets sticky like the badge on police
Tensions between police and people in poor and marginalized communities often result in violence or conflict.

We individually driven in the beginnin'
As artists, we each must find our own path and purpose.

We winnin'
We are successful and thriving in our music careers.

Six men and a venomous independent decision and clear vision
Our group is made up of fearless and determined artists with a shared sense of purpose and goals.

Pretendin' was never a possibility
We are authentic and genuine in our music, never pretending to be something we are not.

I got to kill it
I need to make the best music possible and sharpen my skills every day to succeed.

Because I want to be it
Becoming a successful and respected artist is my dream and my passion.

The poet to win a Pulitzer Prize
My ultimate goal is to achieve recognition and acclaim for my artistic work.

Who wouldn't survive?
I have the determination and strength to succeed, no matter what challenges come my way.

The fullest of vibes
My music is infused with positive and uplifting energy.

Deliberate surprise
I want to catch listeners off-guard and surprise them with innovative and unexpected music.

When bullets the size
Life can be dangerous and unpredictable, and some challenges can be as lethal as bullets.

Of quarters arrive
Even small challenges or details can have a big impact on our lives and our music careers.

And slaughter your lives
Difficulties and setbacks can be devastating and destroy our plans and dreams.

We trying to counteract that
We are working hard to combat the negative and harmful influences in our society and in music.

Unifying these ballers and backpacks
We are bringing together artists from different backgrounds and walks of life to create great music together.

With Knowledge-&-Fact-Tracks
Our music is grounded in truth, knowledge, and education, not just entertainment or shallow messages.

Yo, my soul, infiltrate birth control
My music and my soul can help inspire people to take control of their lives and their future, including family planning.

And control guns Huey P used to hold
We want to create a more peaceful and just society, one where we can reduce or eliminate gun violence.

I breathe life and through the 60's
My music is inspired by the revolutionary spirit and activism of the 1960s, especially among people of color and marginalized communities.

Voted most likely to get busy
In my youth, I was recognized and respected for my music skills and potential.

Inner city flash jiggy burn
My style and my music are a reflection of my inner city upbringing and culture.

Phillies and things
Cigars and other items associated with inner city culture and lifestyle are mentioned in my music.

And we boogie to the bang
We dance and groove to the music and the rhythm of the beat.

Sunshine and rain
Life has its ups and downs, but we can still find positivity and hope in every situation.

Why you cats be talkin' that pimp crap in jail
I don't understand why some artists promote and glorify pimp culture, especially those in prison or facing legal consequences.

I corresponded with a nigga who can barely spell
I have communicated with someone who lacks basic education and literacy skills, but who still has talent and potential in music.

I know the situation oh so well (so well)
As someone who comes from an inner city background, I am familiar with the struggles and challenges faced by many in my community.

I done seen it in 3D
I have witnessed and experienced the harsh realities of inner city life in vivid detail.

It ain't hard to tell
These struggles and realities are apparent and easy to observe, even to those who haven't experienced them firsthand.

Why you bang for your turf chain girl or your man
I don't see the appeal in fighting for or valuing material possessions like jewelry or clothing over more meaningful things like love and relationships.

I be banging for Islam in a spot in Sudan
I am more concerned with promoting and fighting for social justice and human rights around the world, like in Sudan and other conflict zones.

'cause I can't solve or stop or put foot to this
I recognize that some problems and conflicts in the world are beyond my control or influence, but I want to do my part to promote peace and progress.

The hottest brother on the block couldn't cook to this
Our music is so fresh and innovative that even the most successful or talented artists in the game could not replicate it.

J5 drop the verse beat hook to this
Our group Jurassic 5 has created a unique and addictive beat and rhythm for this song.

And if you want a fly jam you should look to this
For anyone looking for a fresh and exciting new sound, our music is the place to start.

So raise the level, bass bottom to treble
Let's keep pushing the limits and raising the bar in music, with a killer bass and treble combination.
