Artist picture
An Urban Movement!
"This album is about pushing the envelope for African, and in particular, Zimbabwean artists. It's surprisingly less about drinking and partying, and more about just being real, and in many cases, calling a spade a spade (that title wouldn't be as catchy though, huh? lol). "We respect & enjoy all the types of music that have come out of Zimbabwe. The Urban Grooves era was great, but let's face it, enough is enough. We've all had enough of the same s*** in a different toilet. I know this album will push our creativity beyond our wildest dreams as a people, while demonstrating a concept which is quite foreign to us: Freedom Of Speech. "Criticize us now, but you'll thank us later! "God Bless." - Just Lyphe (Artist & Co-Executive Producer).

Story behind the song
An extremely personal song written at what's probably the darkest moment of my Lyphe. I had to tap into creative energies that I know most artists are scared to tap into, in fear of revealing their real inner thoughts. But that's just Reality, and I guess reality is Just Lyphe...
Lyrics
I know you gon think I'm talkin bout chu, But yo, dog it's not you, my rage, is reality... And it ain't me dog,... It's not you, my rage... VERSE 1: I remember days, I had to sleep at my girl's house, Other days yo, my bed was my boy's couch, Homeless but nigga I was never heartless, Took hits so I could get this shit started, Litterally dawg, I lost it all, Knocked to my knees when I tried to stand tall, So these shades keep emotions hid, Can't blame God cause I know what I did. See when you on your last limb, that's when you see who's your true friends, Take it from me dog cause I ain't speculatin, All of a sudden it all makes sense, The ones that was real and the ones that was purpatratin, And you might be shocked, The ones you call family the first to flop, The ones you never knew be the first to help, The ones you thought was enemies was really not, But that's reality... CHORUS: And if you smart, yo, let them just be, Cause there's no room for rage, it's reality, In this industy, theres no room for rage... VERSE 2: Yo it's hard to be movin slow, while I'm livin in the fast life, Look around and all I see is bright lights, But somehow I'm still in the dark, Know I'm in a tunnel but the end is so far, I don't know if I'm gonna see the day, I could be like Jigga havin everything paid, Or if I'll lose breath like Beyonce, Before I even make it, yo, my spirit might break. And everytime that I try to find a way, I wind up doing something make it harder to pray, Tired of askin forgiveness every single day, It's easy to get lost and just turn the other way. Then them voices start talkin in my head, If shit don't pop, then your better off dead, And if the one holding the gun is me, It still won't be self-inflicted, I was killed by reality... CHORUS: Yo, let me just be, cause there's no room for rage, in reality, This is just me, but there's no room for life, this reality! TALK: It's a cold world we livin in nowadays, like a modern Soddom and Gomora. Gotta be careful who you fuck with, yo, we livin in a new reality... Where it's hard to find people you can really trust, so when you find them real niggas you can really bank on, don't take that shit for granted, cause anyone can be touched... I ain't gon lie, I've had both in my life. I thank God for the real, I'd give it all for my dogs, (you know who you are)... For all yall that fooled me once, bad on you so I'll let that shit go, But try fool me twice, you won't get rage, you'll get reality!!! I ain't never been at a point this low before in my lyphe, but yo, I guess that's Just Lyphe, I guess that's Just Lyphe, I guess that's Just Lyphe, That's Just Lyphe...
