In any industry, sport, or business, there are always invisible standards, rules and values. And what's true is that very often these values are not the same as your own.
What we usually see is people who make it to a level of success, yet end up sacrificing what they really want and who they really are. They allow themselves to be a victim of their environment.
Jay Electronica is not one of those people, and he explains how and why, on his new album "A Written Testimony". #Bars

0:00.0 | Welcome to the Sports Motivation podcast. It's your host, Nees Showbo. Today is another episode of bars. It's where I break down an excerpt from a book I'm reading or a bar, a lyric from a song that I'm listening to. 98% of the time it's a rap song and today is no different. All right? This is from an album from a man that goes by the name of Jay Electronica. He's a |
0:22.7 | rapper that came out several, several years ago, and it was a ton of hype around him. He's from New Orleans, |
0:28.1 | actually, I think, and very dope rapper, but never came out with an album. Just came out with a few |
0:33.8 | tracks that people loved, and he was talked about a lot as if he was going |
0:38.3 | to be the next big thing and there was a bunch of anticipation around this rapper named |
0:43.7 | J Electronica and the anticipation kept building you know but he didn't release an album for a long |
0:51.3 | long time and just recently released an album called A Written Testimony. |
0:57.4 | It's a really dope album. A ton of Jay-Z on there as well. He's actually signed a Jay-Z's |
1:02.4 | label and has some very powerful bars in there. All right. So I want to play the whole track |
1:08.9 | for you right now. And then I want to break down a very |
1:11.6 | specific bar and show you that how that applies to you and why it's so powerful in terms |
1:17.6 | of J. Electronica's story, which it will make a lot more sense once I break it down. |
1:22.6 | But first, I need my man Brandon Crocker to go ahead and drop that entire track and play it, |
1:28.8 | because it's a short track, and I know you're going to enjoy it. |
1:31.3 | So take a listen. |
1:32.7 | Let's get to it. |
1:33.4 | I'm going to it. I snap on the track like the fingers of Thanos. |
1:47.0 | Como also too, we're donemos. |
1:49.0 | Alos that's all love, all Wimbled and with the pendant. |
1:53.0 | All I have in this world is my flag and my sword. |
1:56.0 | I'm on the battlefield with the flag of my lord. |
1:58.0 | My shahada is my cantata. |
