JManTis - Time Capsule Lyrics

Hey, hey, we made it through, y'all
Shit, we made it through
This is the shout-outs right here
Listen

Mama, I love you

To my brother, I love you

To my pops, I love you

Tijana, I love you, even if you don't love me no more

To the homies, I love each and every one of y'all
Man,
I came from some dark times and y'all helped me out in ways you don't know

Neeko, I love you, Neeko

Man, I got appreciation and respect for so many people
We changing
We blossoming
We're not going to be bitter no more

Come on
We're not going to be bitter no more
No more bitterness
Come on

We're trying to change
We're trying to evolve
We're trying to grow
Come on, man

This is JManTis speaking directly to you
It's time to change, man

I Know What I Know
I know what I know

But it's time to grow
I know what I know
But it's time to grow
I know what I know

But it's time to grow
I know what I know
But it's time to grow
I know what I know

But it's time to grow
Yeah
I know what I know
But it's time to grow

I can't even sing, y'all
It's time to grow
We going to get there soon
Hey

If you made it this far, then you just finished
Blossoming from Bitterness, the EP created by myself, JManTis
Thank you
I appreciate you if you listened this far

Right now, I'm just doing a little time capsule project for myself hence the name of the song

If you don't want to listen to this, you don't have to
No more music from this point

But right now, I'm just going to go over the concept I had
Creating this EP song by song
Just to leave a milestone for myself at this point in time
Anyway, track one, Afraid

You know, every part of me is afraid and scared of the change and evolution
I have to make to alter and blossom in my life

I'm afraid of doing things differently
I'm afraid of changing as a person and becoming who I'm meant to be

You can hear it in my voice
It's shaky,
But I tell you, unfiltered, just how it is,
What I'm afraid of
That's the first song
Track two, identity

I split this song into two halves for myself
The first half is me speaking in my artist form, JMantis
With all the fantasy and glamour that I feel and just telling you
You know,
I got to flex a bit

I got to feel myself in order to do this
I got to see that I got power in who I am
The second half is me being a lot more vulnerable as myself, Jordan
I'm telling you without filter,
Once again, that who I am, what I do
Where I live, how I feel, and where I got my name from
One of the ways
There's more to it, but yeah
That's track two

Track three, Shoebox Stash
That's me talking about my money, how I get it, how I count it
Part of me is complaining because I spend a lot of it
And I have problems with saving it,
But I'm learning my ways around things

But it's more of a calm track
Track four, Regrets and Resentment
In my personal opinion, this is the most important song on this project for me
I'm being honest with myself and saying that I have a lot of regrets and resentment

And I have to confront them
In order for me to change as a person, I have to be 100% honest with myself
And I can't push things to the side or put my mental health on the back burner anymore
I got to be real

Track five is Bound to Change
That's me accepting that things are going to change
Things are always changing
It's changing right in front of me,
And if I just pay attention and accept that

Then I can see real evolution come from that
If I can accept the change, then who I'm going to be as a person is always going to change
My core values may stay the same, but I get to grow
That's the goal at the end of the day

Track six, Evolution
That's just me popping my shit,
Talking my shit, Freestyling
But I had to get some of it off my chest
Because what I'm writing about is real time
This is me in my life,
And sometimes I got to just take a breather

And let the thoughts fly off the dome
The final track, which is what you're listening to right now, Time Capsule
That's me thanking and appreciating people
The people that I really care about

That's me showing that I know what I know now, But I need to grow
This is me leaving a time stamp,
A time capsule
So that when I come back in the future,
I can see what I started from
I can see what my thoughts were going into my first EP

Without any more to say, I appreciate you listening If you made it this far
Thank you
This is JManTis. I'm about to head out.
I got to go to work
See you guys. Peace
