An old-school type track depicting my feelings towards life and my future at this point. I talk about the college atmosphere and how I feel people perceive things, mixing in some of my own personal emotions as well. One of my personal favorites.
Name: Jeremy Blum
Nicknames: Blummer, JB, JAB, Shoryu
Crew: Nerds While AZN
Nationality: Half White, Half Asian (you figure out the exact mix)
Biggest Musical Influences - Mike Shinoda, Tiger JK (of Drunken Tiger), Tablo (of Epik High)
I started rapping in 2003 years ago, mainly because I really loved hip-hop and wanted to try creating my own musical works. I quickly found out that I had a knack for it, and I also discovered that I loved making music and sharing it with the world. I originally began rapping with my crew, Nerds While AZN (if you haven't already, you should check our group site out @ soundclick.com/nerdswhileazn) but since then I've mostly done solo work and have finished three mixtapes on my own. I hope you'll enjoy my music, find something that you think sounds tight, and come away with a few favorites. Thanks.
Lyrics
Blummer - Realize
i'm trying to understand, become a better man
realize my way through this mad world again
look to the skies, try to avoid thoughts of demise
as i focus my energy on fulfilling my heart's cries
how can i do it, gotta find my mission, my calling
something to dedicate myself to keep my dreams from falling
parents want me to be a lawyer, make bucks in the courts
debate jurisdiction imports, cases and torts
but i question this logic, i'm trying to see
if the road to lawsuits is the one for me
i'm trying to find my passion, something realistic
but a dreamer at heart, more of a mystic artistic
the logistics ain't drawn, the vocation is wrong
i'd rather make a living tryin' to rap out these songs
and that's the problem, they say i should be pessimistic
but i could never be one to sit and study statistics
i've seen the real world, walked a mile in those shoes
comin' down with a case of the real folk blues
what's the right thing for me? i just wish i could see
trying to open the door, but i can't find the key
its hidden somewhere, in these lazy college days
these dorms, these lectures, lunch tables and trays
alcoholic nights, sex and weed, second hand smoke
balancing budgets, workin' for bucks, tryin' not to be broke
(chorus)
can we realize what's goin' on?
realize what's goin' on, flip the world on a song
can we realize what's goin' wrong?
realize what's goin' wrong, change the world with a song
can we realize what's goin' on?
realize what's goin' on, make our moves with a song
can we realize what's goin' wrong?
realize what's goin' wrong, show ourselves with a song
can we realize? x8
coming to terms is harder than it seems
what i was taught conflicts with everything around me extreme
maybe that's why the first time i drank it felt a little wrong
nights out on the town, chicks like strippers wearin' thongs
realizing morals, what i think can be hard
gotta separate myself, be avant-garde
try not to judge others, lest they judge me
but can everything be accepted so inexcusably?
too many one night stands, too many scattered beer cans
doin' it raw with no pill ain't much of a plan
does she realize, the high school girl in her bed
that her college bf's out getting some head?
cheating on others, violating trust with lies
the real world's a vicious bitch, it's not much of a surprise
i'd be arrogant to say i'm above this, i'm not
cussin' out our elders, we try to get caught
sitting back, doing things to make ourselves feel older
we think we're adults now, outta the nest and the stroller
but when we've reached the end we'll all return to the start
and realize the maturity that's formed in our hearts
(chorus)
it's just a cycle to grow up, and when we're done
we'll all return mentally to where our lives begun
trying to find my soul, it's something i wanna do
the need is so necessary, the desire is so true
maybe when i'm older i won't feel as i do now
maybe i just gotta wait and stop wondering about the how
and focus on the now, the future comes soon
today's melodies are more important than tomorrow's tune
my destiny's a gift that i'll unwrap soon enough
i remember that when the going gets tough
eventually, perhaps not now but somewhere, someday
i'll understand this, and i might be okay
can we realize? x8
