TIME TO RE{CREATE} MYSELF!

ALL I NEED TO KNOW

THEY SAY I'M HOT HEADED
WITH A COLD HEART
HOW I NEVER LISTEN
PROBABLY WON'T START
BE IN MY POSITION
TRY TO UNDERSTAND
WITHOUT A FATHER FIGURE
HOW TO BECOME A MAN
I USE TO SAY A QUOTE
LIVE SLOW DIE FAST
HAD LONG TERM GOALS
SHORT TURN IN PLANS
I HAVE NO DOE
MOST OF TIMES SPENT
IN THE STUDIO
DON'T ASK WHERE MY MIND WENT
I WANT THE GOOD LIFE
HOUSE WIFE KIDS
STARING AT THE LIME LIGHT
TILL MY EYES RED
YOU COULD NEVER
UNDERSTAND MY PAIN
SO WITH THAT SAID
FUCK IS Y'ALL SAYING

SHE SAY I'M INDECISIVE
WITH WHAT I WANT
IF SHE GREW UP LIKE ME
SHE'LL BE THE SAME
ALL HER FRIENDS IS LIKE HE
GONE BE A STAR
SHE NEVER CARED FOR
OR ABOUT HIM GETTING FAME
I'M OUT ALL NIGHT
MUSIC IS MY GRIND
SHE WANNA FUSE AND FIGHT
ABOUT A LIL TIME
I TRY TO TELL HER CHILL
THAT'S WHEN SHE LOSE HER MIND
AND GET MAD FOR REAL
I FEEL SHE OUT OF LINE
WHO ARE YOU
TO TELL ME THAT
FEELINGS DON'T MATTER
WHEN YOU SPIT EM ON A TRACK
SHE COULD NEVER
UNDERSTAND MY PAIN
SO WITH THAT SAID
FUCK IS SHE SAYING

I SAY YEAH, SO
MY CARE DON'T SHOW
I KNOW
I'M A NONCHALANT ASS HOLE
BUT MY OPINIONS
HELD HIGHLY
THEY OBEY WHAT I SAY
WHEN I SPEAK
I'VE SEEN SO MUCH
GO WRONG
WITH A HOT ARTIST
ON A COLD SONG
THEY GOT A COOL TOPIC
BUT FLOW LOOP WARM
SO THE LABEL DROPS THEM
THEY TRY TO MOVE ON
BUT CAN'T
BECAUSE OF THE ROUTE THEY WENT
AND GO BANKRUPT
LIKE THE HOUSE THEY RENT
THIS COULD NOT BE MADE UP
GO AHEAD AND CHECK THE LIST
OF EVERYONE YOU LIKED
THAT NO LONGER EXIST

FATHER

NOW THIS MAN THAT I CALL DAD
HE CAN BUT HE WON'T
AT LEAST GIVE ME THE DECENCY
TO CALL ME SO HE DON'T
THE WAY HE ACTS I DON'T BELIEVE
A MAN TO BE A PUNK
BUT WHAT WOULD YOU THINK
IF HE REPEATS FOR YOU ARE NOT TO GROWN
TO GET A SPANKING
YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING ME
JUST THE THOUGHT OF HIM
HITTING ME
ENRAGES ME
FROM A TO Z
I CAN EXPLAIN
EVERYTHING
FROM LIES TO DECEIT
DESPISE DISBELIEF
THE CRY'S OF A LIFE
THAT PROVIDES WHERE WE SLEEP
A MIND THAT'S CONFINED
AND DESIGNED TO DELETE
THIS MAN IN A LAND
WHERE HE STANDS
OBSOLETE
I PLAN JUST TO PLAN
MORE OF PLANS I'LL COMPLETE
AND THEN WHEN THOSE END
I SHALL BLEND WITH THE SHEEP
THE LIVES OF THE LOST
AT ANY COST ARE WILLINGLY
WORSHIPING WHAT THEY HAVE HEARD
AND TO HELL WITH WHAT THEY THINK
WE'RE RAISED TO LAUGH AND PLAY
AWAY OUR LIVES UNTIL WE SEE
WHEN YOUR GROWN YOUR ON YOUR OWN
SEE THERE IS NOBODY BUT ME

THE TRUTH

THIS COULD BE THE LAST THING THAT I COULD SAY TO THE WORLD, 

I LOVE, CAN BE THE LAST THING THAT I SAY TO A GIRL, 

BECAUSE BEFORE I GET THE "YO{U}" OUT "THEY" WILL HAVE A SHOOT OUT, 

AND BEFORE YO{U} KNOW IT IM WHERE THE DECEASED BREATHE LIFE'S TO FOUL!

LIFE

LIFE IS WHAT YO{U} MAKE IT RIGHT? SO EVERYDAY IS MADE UP!

WHO I AM

Minnesota's well known local music producer, Jeremy 'The Real Young Bishop' Hicks, now 22, born and raised in the city of Saint Paul, has been doing music since the age of 6. He was introduced to music from being in a musical gifted family. His uncle taught his older brother and cousin and that’s where it all began. At the age of 6 he had his first rap written by his older brother and it was just all fun and games till 6 years later, at the age of 12 he started getting serious with his music. He then discovered that he had the gift of music nobody else had. 

Today music is all that he does. Day and night Bishop is either working at his job helping others students with their musical talents, or making music of his own in his studio. He really didn't have much influences growing up but himself, but more of the matter, he had much respect for real musicians and artists. Even though he may have gone to High School of Recording Arts, he really taught himself how to do all that he knows in his music.

Watching others that he was around just made him practice even harder to perfect his skills, "I don't feel that I’m really as strong as I can be, so everything is my weakness because I know I can be way better at everything I do in life and music." says Bishop. He not only produces his own music but he also writes, sings and freestyle as well. His free styling game is more of a memory than on a piece of paper, nothing is ever written.   

His music is a genre for everybody who likes to hear 'real' music from real musicians. All his songs are based upon his life situations on what he went through or is going through in his life today. You couldn't compare his music to anybody else out there; it’s just simply The Real Young Bishop. His songs are, as he will say are, "refreshing and pleasant air to breathe.'' His music image is just him expressing himself over instruments.

Many wonder why he isn't in the industry as he should have been a long time ago, but Bishop thinks otherwise, "I'm not looking for any major label, unless they’re going to work out a distribution deal with me. The main reason I’m not really concerned about a major deal is because if I wanted one I could have been signed with any label I wanted to but I want my own stuff.  You know so I can say I own something that’s really a part of me." 

He's worked not only on his own music, but with other local artists who actually now have well-known names in the music industry. Artists such as Minnesota's own Beluga Heights princess Auburn, also his cousin, which he produced the majority of her first album Same Giirl, with the hit single "Ewww Ewww";  he's also worked on projects with Chrishan, Bishop B, KiiD Magic and many others. Right now Bishop is currently still working on his own music, soon to release a couple of mix tapes and also his highly anticipated album, “The Truth”. We're all still waiting to see what’s going to happen next with The Real Young Bishop. When asked about his long-term goals, he says, "To just be a very successful young man and by the time I choose to retire, I would’ve accomplished more than people three times the age I am when I call it quits.”
