I'm iz - Lyrics Finally he has come from the abyss and you are not prepared but it is time, for him to shine. Get ready. Orale it’s about time eh, here I come. Yo Homeboi Julius C, the crowned abyss! Brought by the spark of life, proceed to live or die. Never born to tell a lie, big dreams that I will not deny. Came straight into this game blind folded up in this thang with nothing but will, no skills, just a passion to create my name. Ready to spit some flows hard work and thirst here it goes. What you hear is what I've earned not born with talent, not my concern. I'm here to elevate, so I must concentrate, it's time to raise the bar and go far, for that I meditate. So I continue to spits flows as I continue to grow and time flies as i grind, and your music is getting old. It sounds like the same lyrics written and spitten from different rappers and all I'm seeing is y'all making music go backwards. It's my turn to put my time. It's time to put forth my shine. You know that I'm bouts to get mine. Won't stop till the day that I die. Proceed to head to the throne & I'm in it for my city so let's get it on. You don't know what I've been through to get through to build momentum & break this beat to tell them that: I'm iz Yo Homeboi Julius C and I put it down like this, I'm the one and only, I'm the crowned abyss Cu - cuz I'm iz Cu - cuz I'm iz Cu - cuz I'm iz I - I - I'm iz Yo Homeboi Julius C and I put it down like this I'm the one and only, I'm the crowned abyss Cu - cuz I'm iz Cu - cuz I'm iz Cu - cuz I'm iz Yo man I'm ill B to the streets homie what you know about me? I'm on a roll, I'm on my grind Go hard like a killa G. Repping my home city, south side of the streets of the chi, but I was taken away, and I won't deny the pain I gained but I still will rise. ‘Cuz the hood is still in me and it's growing in size you see. Gotta let it out in lyrical disguise you know that I'm all about it G. Can't tie me up, I will still set me free, like a sleeping beast up in these streets, I lived in a life where sounds of heat were part of nature, so i won't be beat. I refuse to fall to the ground, refuse to run from these hounds. Will not retreat from these clowns; from city to city I will hold it down. Respects to the underground, I'm here to break the ground. Deliver these lyrics like thunder sounds and what ever is on top, I'm bringing it down. Veterans been looking for change with my generation that came. From now you will know my name running deep in this game, now the army is trained. Global hip hop in this thang, Musica Abusiva now backed my name, Kartel Kyntero is feeling the same, and if ur on the way you’ll be left fully maimed. I'm iz Yo Homeboi Julius C and I put it down like this, I'm the one and only, I'm the crowned abyss Cu - cuz I'm iz Cu - cuz I'm iz Cu - cuz I'm iz I - I - I'm iz Yo Homeboi Julius C and I put it down like this I'm the one and only, I'm the crowned abyss Cu - cuz I'm iz Cu - cuz I'm iz Cu - cuz I'm iz Verse 3: I'm iz the crowned abyss an unstoppable force, lean forward, but watch yourself, this movement is heavily endorsed by the streets and elites that pack heat. So let me tell you what it means, to be birth from the abyss. I had nothing, it started from a cloud up in the void. The idea I planned to create and deploy. From my mind to your ears, a dream you can see, feel, and hear. It took time but I'm geared, will never show any fear. And I'm facing all obstacles to build it all up in here. With no money in my pockets, I've given more than what I've earned. So what exactly is your concern, and your attempts to end my term? What I have right here will show you how to create something from nothing. Success out of energy, created with nothing but positive vibes, it started all out of my mind, I'm never blind. Thoughts are things, so don't plan to penalize my infinite mind, ideas are what I create, something that doesn't suit your kind ‘cuz: I'm iz Yo Homeboi Julius C and I put it down like this, I'm the one and only, I'm the crowned abyss Cu - cuz I'm iz Cu - cuz I'm iz Cu - cuz I'm iz I - I - I'm iz Yo Homeboi Julius C and I put it down like this I'm the one and only, I'm the crowned abyss Cu - cuz I'm iz Cu - cuz I'm iz Cu - cuz I'm iz

Rolando lyrics You've spoken. Ahora it is my turn. Rolando Por las calles aqui yo voy provocando. La competencia aqui yo mando. Mente de un Rey soy empresario. Es hora que escuchen cuando yo hablo. Ill flow tonight so it don't matter what's the battle cuz it's on tonight that's right. It's my turn to speak when you feel weak bump this heat in the streets find what you seek. Take a no no more get up it's time to win, will be hurt no more. Leave the past behind, it's time to put forth the grind, it's time to get yours and mine, it's time to shine. In this very hard city with a hard blood line, I will not stop, I will not drop, I will set the fine line for those who've walked blind and those left behind. This is my city and we're headed to the top. In this land where the bodies drop, it is the heart never stops but the fallen and their families deserve so much more. So much more than sympathies, change all philosophies, take over this city. Rolando Por las calles aqui yo voy provocando. La competencia aqui yo mando. Mente de un Rey soy empresario. Es hora que escuchen cuando yo hablo. Let me speak tonight. Expose my will and my sight cuz this vision is bright aight. Ain’t a hype when I build when I seek my free will there ain't time to chill yo. Here I go to plant my flag and if you're not holding that then you better run back, cuz this is my foundation and you best believe that. Willing to live, willing to die, willing to put it all on the line. And who are you to think that with a few minor trips I'll begin sink huh? Even death know thy name and I've put it in shame when it tested my strength huh. This is Yo Homeboi Julius C and you best believe that this legend still breathes. Not a myth not a tale, it's the man you seek. Bringing that music you need that even the hungry it shall feed. Rolando Por las calles aqui yo voy provocando. La competencia aqui yo mando. Mente de un Rey soy empresario. Es hora que escuchen cuando yo hablo. I've returned to this land, the land I call my city. Do you know who I am? I was here making music before you had paper bands in the very same town Al Capone grew his name and put his face on the map yo. From the production that I did back in 03, to the lyrics that I spit now that you get hear me. El homie that brings it in English and Spanish. Spanglish czar, el kaiser, lyricist, chi lingual speaking mera neta. Pues aprende y respeta cada letra that I've written hasta que se cumple la meta. There is no stopping me or este movimiento. No lo siento, no hay viento that can drop this foundation. No evasion in this occasion I will stop the devastation. New creation, use your imagination. A change that will shock the entire nation with the re evaluation of this city and put this album on rotation ohhh! Rolando Por las calles aqui yo voy provocando. La competencia aqui yo mando. Mente de un Rey soy empresario. Es hora que escuchen cuando yo hablo.

about

The Foundation is Volume 1 of 3 for the Rise Above Album, by me as Yo Homeboi Julius C. Volume 1 was originally released back in 2015 and now it has been mixed and remastered for a re release that will go live soon in order to prepare for the Volume 2 which is the next album in Progress titled, "Rise Above, Vol. 2: The Grind" which I am hoping to complete by 2025 to release. Thank you all for your support! This remaster will be a drastic upgrade to the original sound quality and the next album will be far better! Stay tuned; I am working on it as I type!
