JClay’s “Humble Yo Self” Is a Wake-Up Call Disguised as a Rap Song

With “Humble Yo Self,” spiritual rap artist JClay delivers a powerful call to surrender. A call that doesn’t just echo scripture, it reframes it. Built on the timeless line “Humble yourself in the sight of the Lord,” the song challenges listeners to expand their view of God, recognizing His presence not just above, but within and all around.

The track, produced by Encore, is anchored by a slow, haunting beat that sets the tone for deep introspection. JClay’s delivery is both poetic and piercing, blending spiritual insight with sharp lyricism. Themes of ego, unity, forgiveness, and divine identity are explored with the urgency of someone who’s lived the message, not just written it.

While the foundation of the song had been forming for some time, it was a vivid dream during a spiritual activation that brought the final verses into focus. That experience helped crystallize the message: humility isn’t about lowering oneself—it’s about rising by recognizing the divine in others.

Fans of conscious, faith-forward hip-hop will find a rare mix of depth and replay value here. “Humble Yo Self” isn’t just a track. It’s a mirror, a mantra, and for some, a moment of truth.

Humble yourself in the sight of the Lord
Humble yourself in the sight of the Lord
Humble yourself in the sight of the Lord
Humble yourself in the sight of the Lord
And he will lift you up
And he will lift you up

I'm lifted
Others would say I'm gifted
Kissed by the lips of life
My eyes shifted
Outward became downward
Upwards inward
Flipped it
I'm inverted
My begins ends
My ends begin again
But I'm perfect-
Ly still
I'm still real
I feel the chills
But more like peace if feels
I I I (light language)

Light language seizes the tongue
I plunge back and forth
Gleeful deliver these funds
Ones that don't end when you spend
No refunds
The value that is you is how you begin to un-
Do the untrue that you choose to become
I want you to see and receive the sea sons
Be that you want to repeat and be done
Each is not least in the least but completion
Unh

Stop waiting to be you
You can never be guilty
That no man can undo
Free will is misjudged
It's what you called proof
That you do your own thing
Cuz happiness eludes you
But God's Will is real
It's what you always love to do
So trust it
Discuss it
Don't let your mind lose
To this idea of fear
Which is not here
Or anywhere
You can't look fear in the face
Because it's plenty scared

I see God everywhere
I see God in everything
I see what the fuss about
I feel all His Energy
I feel His magnificence
And since I know you kin to me
I humbled by your innocence
Cuz no sin is in what He's reached

Surrounded by the Godly
Tough times hardly
I be smiling broadly
Flesh blessed partly
Angelic relic pro'ly
We all got the God card
Don't card me
A gang wit no enemies
One army
Harm me
You can't
Ain't
Nothing to be scared about
Spirit can't be fearers
We're just mirrors of our whereabouts
Mentally unaware about we're entities of God
Incomplete without each other
So lets smother and evolve
Thank you brother
I got you god
For the lost that needs lights lit
A faith that can't waiver
And a face where the light sits
A heart that recharges
Forgiveness is the target
Not to just receive
But to give then we harvest

Marvelous it's real
Nothing we can do can undo
God's Will
We should all chill
We receive in the stillness
The good of all good
The peace that heals all the illness
Put what you could
In the release of unrealness
In favor of the true
And savior to the few
That have labored for wages
Way beneath what God has favored for you
So forgo thine own will
And still
I am humbled
By you

Cuz I see God everywhere
I see God in everything
I see what the fuss about
I feel all His Energy
I feel His magnificence
And since I know you kin to me
I humbled by your innocence
Cuz no sin is in what He's reached
Surrounded by the Godly
Yeah
