about

72701 Stories is an introduction to WordPlay T.JAY. WordPlay T.JAY fell ill to the stress of a full time job, full time college, and a full time woman. He broke under the pressure and decided he would give up some things. In the midst of a deep sleep the album plays out in his dreams while he missing calls from the people he knows. At the end he wakes up to an email from MTV that changes his life.

lyrics

[HOOK]
This for all my people out there with the 9 to 5’s
Tryna put it all together without a dime
So they take another puff of that la, la, la
Cause they tryna make it through put the stress aside
If I should die before I break
I pray the Lord to have my soul to take x3
[VERSE]
I just wanna tell my people good night, good mourning
I can see you in my dreams, just make an appointment
When you see me on the track I’m tryna anoint it
Give you something you can feel that’s been my anointment
We been broken for a while I’m tryna adjoin it
I know you want, so get to the point like a hornet
I know it hurts, but it’ll be better by morning
It doesn’t stop so listen we better get going
So check it while you’re yawning I’m putting it in the speakers
And fixing all of the plates so we can continue eating
I’m bleeding from all the mess, and itching to be the best
I guess I better stop scratching and ripping apart my flesh
Gotta show you all of my fears break away from my demons
And wipe away all of the tears
Tryna get to man of the year been doing this for a decade
I’m kicking another gear.
[HOOK]
[VERSE]
I just wanna tell my people good day, good mourning
And if you down to ride just know you important
And I think about you every beat I’m importing
May see me as a star but you are the Jordan
See me recording numbers just know I’m not going under
Cool as the dead of winter but hotter than 20 summers
I got this without a gimmick so suck a cock and get with it
Invented to be a menace society call me Dennis
Every stereotype they tryna put me within it
But hold up I’m not finished, I’m predetermined to win it
And every time that I sleep I know my grandfather grinning
Look at what he’s been doing tell Jesus buy me a ticket
I gotta see when he get it, gotta see when he get it
Gotta make it to that they finally see that he’s gifted
They finally see he’s a legend and didn’t have to get lifted
I gotta be there to witness the day he gets all his wishes
[HOOK]
[VERSE]
I just wanna tell my people good day, no mourning
And if I don’t make it to tomorrow I gotta be honest
Don’t cry I know you’ll miss me, I know you’ll miss me
But my point in being here is making history
I’ll be here for a while Christ is with me
And I’m only going forward like a Frisbee
Before I bare it all like a grizzly
I’m tryna get the bartender tipsy
That’s saying I’m tryna reverse the roles
Like a greedy ass kid I’m tryna take control
From the phony ass majors who fiddling with their pagers
Wanting some food and liquor but lately I’m seeing lasers
Take another look you’ll see I’m dangerous
I’m socially aware but nothing phase us
My whiskey on the rocks but not the chasers
Need something for the pain when they hate us
[HOOK]
