The Real J.T.W. (born March 2, 1993) is a musician, songwriter, and outspoken figure known for his raw honesty and willingness to address difficult topics. Raised in downtown Omaha, Nebraska, he faced many challenges growing up but found solace in music. At just 12 years old, he began writing music as a form of therapy. Over time, music became a lifeline—an outlet to share his experiences and bring awareness to real-life struggles. His lyrics often center around mental health, addiction, depression, and other societal issues.
With his latest release, “ONE SIDED SYSTEM,” produced by Soulburnin Records, The Real J.T.W. delivers what may be his most provocative track to date. The song unapologetically explores the different ways men and women are perceived and treated by society. Some of the lyrics are admittedly blunt and explicit, but they reflect an honest attempt to spark deeper conversations.
In the first verse, he delivers the controversial line:
“You speak tall when your heads down.”
This lyric stirred strong reactions, with many interpreting it as offensive. However, J.T.W. argues that the line holds a deeper meaning—highlighting how the system is biased and unfairly tilted to one side.
Moving into the second verse, he confronts yet another sensitive perspective, one that has also received criticism. In his words:
“I ain’t hating on women, I’m just stating facts.”
Here, he challenges listeners to look past initial judgments and examine the song’s deeper message: that society often takes one side of a story without seeking full context or truth.
J.T.W. crafted this track with intention. It wasn’t created for shock value—it was carefully constructed to challenge listeners and make them think. His goal is to spark change and encourage people to view issues from multiple perspectives.
As he’s said in the past, and continues to stand by:
“I bleed. You bleed. We all bleed. We the same, Can’t you see.” – The Real J.T.W.
This quote encapsulates the spirit of the song and his broader message. No matter our background, gender, or race, we all deserve to be seen and heard equally. “ONE SIDED SYSTEM” isn’t just a song—it’s a statement, a call to reevaluate the way we treat and judge each other.
To fully grasp the meaning and message of the track, it’s essential to listen to it in its entirety.
