[Verse] I got no time to snooze, It's time that I wake them up! They claim they're married to the game, so I'm gonna go and break them up! I might just go drop a new track, maybe I'll drop a new album, But for now, I'm on this mixtape, regardless of the outcome! My fans have been so patient, they've waited long enough! Had a rough time last year, believe me that shit was tough. Lost my first Instagram, lost money tryin' to get it back, Had to grind up from the dirt, now things are back on track! But then there are those who are out there, that live life without a care! My songs, they denounce all, silently praying for my downfall! But I still grind like Rodney Mullen, even on days where I'm so sullen! 'Cause what I truly believe, is that it's possible to achieve dreams. Even if they're unlikely, I'd still just do it, no Nike! I go mental, I'm no pretender, I'm Elemental like Wade and Ember! But by now, you should know that. All my skills, I show that! Hate on me? You can get gone! 'Cause I'm still Young and Slept on!

[Hook] I'm after the coins like I'm Wario! Gettin' rich is the best scenario! Live on the beat, never been playing favourites All I really care about now are some payments! Haters wanna take all my best bars and burn it, All they see is green, so in turn, they never earn it. They're jealous, should be amazed with my status! Not earning dough? Then stay in your place, bitch! [Verse 1] They talk shit, but I would never hear it. Samples of success, but they'd never clear it. Wanna see the end of me, wanna see me crumble, But there's no chance at stoppin' THIS royal rumble! Me and my crew are busy, tryin' to get some pesos, 'till foreign senoritas wanna give some besos! Tryin' to build my money amount up to the ceiling, And make enough to leave my haters reeling. Love for my family, doubters can bent though! Rap has got me feelin' super like Nintendo! Recording by myself, I'll take a couple hours, Got all these beats, now I'm playing with power! Got all these songs I'm gonna lay to waste! Never stopping 'till the day that I'm paid! Come with the heat like a flame thrower! Cross my path and it's game over! [Hook] [Verse 2] Face it, now I am the rawest. Leave 'em in wrecks, no Tyranosaurus! Done it all independent, on and offline! You can't handle bars when I fly off mine! Never needed xanny bars, never needed codeine! Anyone who says otherwise doesn't know me! Get me behind the microphone, all bets off! 27 and underground; still young and slept on! So if you're a chick or a hater that's not known. You can come and blow me like a blocked nose! 'Cause I've still got a long way to go now, And there's no way that I'm gonna slow down! Still climbin' up the game like Mount Everest! 'Till I get to the top, you won't hear the end of it! Working to make my craft perfect like I need it! If you don't get my mission, let me repeat it! [Hook]

[Hook] I'm feelin' good and it's all because (This is how we do it) Yeah, Aylesbury does it like nobody does (This is how we do it) To all my neighbors, you got much flavor (This is how we do it) Let's flip this ish, old school in the mix (this is how we do it) [Verse 1] Now once upon a time in '96, Jack was a shy kid, who wouldn't go and spit. Wouldn't socialise, though he knew he should, 'Till he made some music that turned out good. Switched the flow up, experimented with new sounds, Bright and colourful like the cartoons on Newgrounds! He loved the music, didn't want to quit it, When he made a new beat, he felt so damn lifted! Made a few mixtapes and got a little buzz, Around Youth Concern, folks started showin' love. Compelling with the stories, mean with the wordplay, Yet he was down to earth like it was his first day, Still remained humble, even through the dark days, Spillin' his emotions, love, hate, heartache, He was hard working, nobody could fight it, Some of his songs went a little like this: [Hook] [Verse 2] Now when the story resumes in 2023, Jack is a young man who has plenty free... Time on his hands for the beats and the bass, To make his music turn out great. With a little pop culture and some confidence, He'd work on the bars with his common sense, Far from famous, but he still felt so grand, Got himself a job that would get him the bands. He'll likely never become famous, But that's a fact that he feels so complacant. Though it would be nice, he never gets to sweatin' it, 'Cause folks show him love when he starts steppin' in! When behind the microphone, his thoughts are so clear! Puttin' out his music for the whole world to hear! Mind like a factory, brain like a thesaurus, And that's a perfect line to take it back to the chorus! [Hook]

[Verse 1] Been 'round the world, given many names. A few relationships, played plenty games. Many wanna work with me, no oversight, Made a few people famous overnight. Always been around, since the dawn of time. Been going strong, on the walk of life. When I'm in the building, all that I find In my presence, people wanna Bump and Grind. They got me for different settings; Dance floors, freestyles, when they're holdin' weapons. Some use me to reach for their saviour Others blame me for bad behaviour. Many use me, so unmentored, Talkin' 'bout stuff so uncensored, 'less you caught me on the radio, I hear them all talkin' wherever I go. Like-. [Hook] I've been 'round the world. But nobody can compare Like you do, my girl. I know you're always there. I wanna keep you close, As you spin and you twirl. Yeah, you make us known All around the world. Yeah, yeah. [Verse 2] I get in the minds of your children. My melodies gets imaginations buildin' I influenced your favourite artists. Put me in your parties just to get it started. So many flows, so many genres, Made the best people from Prince to Madonna! Listen to my cadance, hear how they glisten! They probably inspirin' as you listen. Some people sample and reuse me, They give high amounts of money usually So they can own, stream, play and remix me, Makin' me move slow or move quickly. Some love the lyrics, others love the melody, But I guarantee, there'll be no end to me. 'Till humanity itself falls and crumbles, There's no way that I'll ever go and stumble! [Hook] [Verse 3] But it's not always sunshine and rainbows, Sometimes things blow up like volcanos And the artists that I create with, Get unneeded amounts of hatred. 'specially for tragedies and others, Dead children and all the crying mothers. Folks point their fingers with some mad eyes At me and my friends like we're the bad guys! But that's just an overstatement. I'm just here for your entertainment. Maybe I help you be a better person. Rather than make your issues worsen, I can help you cope, I can help you relax Sit back in your chair like "Yeah, I need that" Take a wild guess? By this point, it's useless! It's obvious what you call me: music! [Hook]

[Hook] Rain keeps falling, tears keep falling down. Guess it's easy to cry when no one's around. I know some day I'll start falling down. And I hope someone's there when I hit the ground. [Verse 1] These dark thoughts inside your head. Just remember what the counselor said. Express all your lows inside of your art, Before all of it tears you apart. Just be open and just be honest, You'll be fine man, you have got it. Even if your eyes get a little bit wetter, Do what you can to make yourself better. Plan for the week, stick to a goal, Don't have regrets by the time you're old. Negative thoughts, you can go and run that, Let your demons out, don't let them come back. Say what you need to, then let it go, Life'll get better, but you'll never know, If you keep all that hurt inside, Of your heart until you die. [Bridge 1] I know all these things, they are so damn bad for me. I should let them go, I'd be damn glad to release. Maybe given time, they'll fade away on their own, But they must know: my mind is not their home. [Hook] [Verse 2] Tell yourself that everything is fine! Tell yourself it'll be alright! Who am I, Jack? I'm your other half, The one who distracts you for half a laugh, With ideas for lyrics, bars and beats! While the end of the road's not far for me! I ruined your early 20's with the music, So to get rid of me would be useless! That's the truth, so unfabricated! I'm who you need to feel validated! I could be paradise or prison! You're stuck with me 'cause of your autism! Don't want the fame? You're lying to yourself! Why else would you go and rap for your health?! You'd keep rhyming, wouldn't resist it, If your talent goes, you know you'd miss it! [Bridge 2] I'm a part of you, that's deep inside your brain. If you block me out, then you'd go insane. You're so obsessed with this, you treat like a game! So what will you do when you're alone in the rain? [Hook]

[Hook - Modjo] Lady, hear me tonight 'Cause my feeling is just so right As we dance by the moonlight Can't you see you're my delight? Lady, I just feel like I won't get you out of my mind I feel love for the first time And I know that it's true I can tell by the look in your eyes [Verse 1 - Jack Rootes] Yeah, I'm here on a night out. We'll keep drinking 'till the bar's lights out. It's just me and my bros out here, A good night out and the vibes are clear. Hit the bar first, then we pull up to the club. Bouncers and bartenders showin' love. Emptying bottles and downing glasses, Enough alcohol to get this started. Lovin' the girls and how they are dancin', Their friends chattin', jokin', laughin'. Right here now, I can't pretend. Got some cash that I can spend. Maybe when the night ends up through, One will wanna come home, maybe two. Don't be shy now, I'm not harmful, Just hear me tonight like this sample! [Hook - Modjo] [Verse 2 - Jack Rootes] She feels love for the first time, Vibin', even with my worst rhymes. Maybe in time, she will find... She can't get me out her mind. She'd want a Taste, she's no fighter. She's feelin' Legendary like Tyga. Out on the dance floor, got no shame, Movin' her body, it's no game. She just wants a good night, away from the haters, Away from the stresses, away from the players, That wanna hit it and quit it in one night, She wants a man whose love is done right! Her moves are pure, they're all from her heart, Across the club as I watch from afar. Gotta make a move, no time for delays, I hope she hears when I call out and say-! [Hook - Modjo]

[Verse 1] Red lips, lookin' so damn devilish. Finer details that she'd use to embellish, The way that she looks, the smile on her face, To make sure her fans' eyes are on the right place. She's got a routine, she knows off by heart, To get her worked up, not a high cost to start. 'Cause she's dolled up with the freshest lingerie, That puts the best parts of her body on parade. The announcement comes, the show's about to start. The mood is just right, she feels it in her heart. Thirsty men want to see her dance and twirls, Takes a shot of whiskey to calm her nerves. Out of the dressing room, towards the main stage, Right at the centre, she goes and takes the main place. Moves all memorised, no damn surprises, She swallows her nerves as the curtains rises. And they say-! [Hook] She's on tonight You know her hips don't lie She's starting to feel it now She says 'let's go, real slow Don't you see, baby? Así es perfecto' They know she's on tonight Her hips don't lie She's starting to feel it's right All the attraction, the tension 'Cause in her eyes, this is perfection [Verse 2] And as she dances, she's feeling great today, And all of her worries start to melt away. Every beat of the music hits her soul, And the men love the way she grips the pole. She feels so liberated, as she does her work, Other dancers 'round, but all eyes are on her. She puts her body out, movin' her buns slow, Playful teasing for the boys in the front row. And then comes the exposure, The bra comes off, but she keeps her composure. Bare breasts on display like triple x, A few bank notes thrown on stage she collects. Then it isn't long 'till she's fully naked. Audience findin' her sexy bod amazin'. As she teases, she has a smile on her face, As she dances on the stage with such grace. [Hook] [Intermission] "But I'm willing to bet, that some of you are wondering... what her life is like, OUTSIDE of the strip club. Well, let me tell you." [Verse 3] She's a single mother, she's raising two kids, And their damn dad never gave two shits About their well being or child maintence, So he ditched them with no complacence. In the daylight, she's a care worker, With elderly residents she'd nurture, But they all seem to feel cold towards her And this job she has barely supports her. So every Friday night, at the end of the week, She goes out while the kids are asleep, Puts on a show, the dance floors she burns, Then she saves up all the money she earns. She understands that she won't make a million, But she's happy if it will help her children, Extra cash would get them shooting far. On that stage, she feels like a superstar! [Hook] [Outro - Shakira Sample] I'm on tonight You know my hips don't lie And I'm starting to feel you, boy Come on, let's go, real slow Don't you see, baby? Así es perfecto They know I'm on tonight My hips don't lie And I'm starting to feel it's right All the attraction, the tension Don't you see baby? This is perfection

[Hook] Club dreams are made of these Off my balance from the bubbly I mix and I pour to keep my energy Everybody's drunk off of something. [Verse 1] And it won't end 'till the early morning. Alcohol and the bass got me storming. A couple of drinks, now I'm in my zone. Like Jason Derulo, don't wanna go home. Neon lights and bodies on the dance floor Should I go ahead, and take a chance or... Do I sit back with some more bottles? Before this club goes full throttle As the DJ's spinnin' all the greatest hits, It's that one moment that I'd hate to miss. Couple of bros beside me, it's likely That we'll find a couple of girls gettin' hyphy Like "Hey baby girl, wanna come and try me? Got humps like a camel, come along and ride me." And are we gonna stop tonight? Not likely! Not 'till the cops come, shut down the party! 'Cause-. [Hook] [Verse 2] Last name should be Daniels when I'm off the liquor, 'Cause when he's in the mood, Jack becomes a hard licker. Check him out in the corner with his best friends, Puttin' on a big show like the West End! Feel the kicks and the 808s in this place. Feel the melody vibin' at a quick pace! Familar with the club like the people knew ya, Smoke in the air, like someone's usin' a hookah! Spendin' big money like I'm already famous! Penny for your thoughts, leave the club brainless! Bottles in my hand, got some ice on my neck. All these lyrics out like I write for the cheques! Club dreams are like these, always on a night out, Never gonna stop at it, until it's gettin' bright out! My goals are all clear and there's no room for doubt: Imma drink, Imma dance, Imma chat then I'm out! [Hook]

[Hook] I'd rather have no sleep until I reach the top. Until the day that I succeed, I swear I'll never stop. My motivation burns so bright, it's never faded, Won't stop 'till I can finally say 'mom, I made it'. [Verse 1] Back then, I was born with a gift. I always made sure everyone would witness it. And inside, I feel there's much potential, So many ideas up in my mental. States of mind leave me so motivated, To keep on rising and become the greatest. Not a desire of mine man, I need this! I'll burn as I rise up like I'm the Phoenix! Not asking for fame, wealth or the accolades, I just wanna be the one like an Ace of Spades. Might be difficult, but I truly do reckon, I'll grow like Vine, but more than 6 seconds! A little bit of happiness, that is all that I need. Grow like a flower, cut down the high weeds. I know my methods are all pure and legit, So 'till I reach the top, man, I will never quit! [Hook] 'Cause I'm an icon living. So much of myself that's left for giving. Gotta go out there, no time to be selfish, Do it My Way like Sinatra or Elvis! Tell the haters and jealous they'll never steal my thunder! I'll regret my choices when I'm six feet under! But while I'm alive, for the glory I'll search, 'Cause I know that it's somewhere on this Earth! 'Cause you only live once like Adam Mesh. Can't live a life where I'm living sad and stressed! No matter how you're living, excitement? We need that! Without opportunities housed, life would be flat. So this is a message to those who believe; Stay strong, chase your dreams and you'll achieve. Never surrender, 'cause that's only for the weak. Just keep your head up, even if it feels bleak. [Hook]

[Hook: JLMusix] Baby, You know I used to want you so bad You know I used to love you so deep But now I don't care Now I don't care Now I don't... Give a shit. [Verse 1: Jack Rootes] Yeah, I don't give a shit any more, You are not the same person I adore, Used to want you so bad, used to love you so deep, I use to act like you're the only thing I need, To have a good life, and that was all that mattered: Your love, all mine on a silver platter. Loved you so much, so it hurt when I realised, That your gazing eyes were focused on other guys. Back then, I'd follow my heart by any means. So I refused to go and act upon my jealousy. But then I noticed that you would try and use me, While you slept around with others like a groupie. Got me downin' alcohol like they were potions! How dare you go ahead and play with my emotions! Used to daydream about the days I'd kiss you, But nowadays, thinkin' back, I don't miss you, 'Cause-. [Hook: JLMusix] [Verse 2: Jack Rootes] You can take everything, I don't need you. Gotten to the point I wouldn't want to be you. I used to think that you were amazin' But now all you do is fill me with hatred. 'Cause you decided to be unfaithful, Hope when karma hits you, that it's painful. And when I go forward and bask in glory, You feel left out this wonderful story. Did everything for you, I'd love and respect you, Treated you right, never would neglect you. Thought that I was your knight in shining armour, But I was a fool, subjected to your cruel laughter. All you'd do is play me like I'm a game of chess! You broke my heart and you gave me endless stress. Now I've made my mind up, I've up and quit, Used to love you, but now I don't give a shit. [Hook: JLMusix]

[Verse 1 - Jack Rootes] Had that ring on my finger for a few years, All I can do now is shed a few tears, 'Cause it meant nothing, all the vows that we've spoken, You would rather play about and leave my heart broken. You say you're faithful, but then you cut the lights out! I'm about to hit the bottles more than Amy Winehouse! Playing with my heart, you only make me madder. 'Bout to catch me 'Breakin' Dishes' like my name's Rihanna! It's sickening that you'd go and act without a thought, I know you're only sorry now 'cause you got caught! I loved you so much, you just made things ugly! No matter the gender, people like you disgust me! Thought you were the one, but your horomones run amok, If you think you've got my strings, be prepared to take the cut! All that's left to say now is sayonara, You're on your own now, it's time to face your karma. [Hook - Sam Smith] You say I'm crazy 'Cause you don't think I know what you've done But when you call me baby I know I'm not the only one [Verse 2 - Jack Rootes] I know I'm not the only one like Sam Smith. All your love in your heart, thought I had this, You said you'd be faithful, I should've known you won't. Tell me what on earth do they have that I don't?! 'Cause selfish people act like everyone's a nemesis, But then turn to saints when they see benefits. Be it money, sex or anything to help 'em live, With that mindstate of 'all take, but no give'. It feels like I've been torn apart. 'cause of you, there's no more love in my poor heart. So damn deceitful, really got me hurtin'. Ask yourself right now: was it all worth it? Hope these words that I spit keep you up at night! Just imagine what our lives could've been like! But now I'm done with you, so don't call me baby, I know you're full of it when you say I'm crazy! [Hook - Sam Smith] (X2)

[Hook] Something's comin' up on the horizon If you're unprepared, you won't be survivin'. Always on the move and never stoppin' For you never know who could be watchin'. Keep your eyes wide open Keep your eyes wide open, whoa Keep your eyes wide open Keep your eyes wide open, yuh [Verse 1] Keep your eyes wide open. So many secrets in life unspoken. Am I paranoid? Am I overthinking? Should I numb it out like I'm heavy drinking? Intrusive thoughts inside my brain, Slowly but surely drivin' me insane. Maybe it's nothing, take a wild guess, I try to relax, but this is what my mind says: What if you get problems while you slumber? Who the fuck gave them your phone number?! Where did that one email come from? Can they hear me while I make this dumb song? What if I'm being filmed through my webcam? Could I get some peace? Tell me when, man! Someone hacked your account, you don't even know it! They could do damage to you and not show it! [Hook] [Verse 2] Are these rational or delusions? Are these boogeymen of mine all illusions? Like 'Somebody's Watching Me' like Rockwell. Paranoia ticks in my head like a bombshell. Yeah, these thoughts won't leave me alone, Fearing scam callers will blow up my phone. They want my money, they want to ruin me Grab and hold my life, remove the fluency. That's why my eyes are wide open. My secrets closed off and unspoken. Fearing the day my money goes missing, A victim of scams, hacks or phishing. Maybe I'm paranoid, maybe it's fabricated Maybe my hacker worries are exaggerated Maybe I'll find these worries are made up, But until then, my defenses will stay up! [Hook]

[Hook] You do not know me like you used to know me, If you think otherwise, you best go and show me. 'Cause I'm not that one man that you say you love, I'm walking away now 'cause I've had enough. [Verse 1] Save your tears like The Weeknd. You never cared at all, you would just pretend That you would love me unconditionally, Had high faith in us like a missionary. Thought you were the one, 'fraid now we're done. You would show me love, you gave my heart a run! I would stand by your side so dutiful, Thought you and me together would be beautiful! Suddenly I see, that all you cared about, Was all the damn pounds, inside my bank account! Only wanted money, would put the stress on! You're a Gold Digger like a Kanye West song! I was working hard, you weren't on the grind! You'd rather mooch off every penny you could find That was given to me, you were never greatful, And now you're wonderin', why I'm so hateful! (I think I'm better alone) 'Cause-! [Hook] [Verse 2] I can Swim Good like I'm Frank Ocean! So you go ahead and play with my emotions! You say leaving you would put me in a worst state, But you never loved me in the first place! All my love for you, thought you could articulate, But all you can do is manipulate, You'd pull my strings with little to no regret, Then you'd leave me hanging like a marionette! Your love was never real, better go dead it! Now the show's over, roll credits! 'Cause it's time to take a bow like Rihanna, Exit stage left with your false manners. You better pack up your shit and leave, 'Cause you are not the one that I need! All you did to me was cause stress at home, Guess I can say that I'm Better Off Alone. (I think I'm better alone) Yeah! [Hook]

[Verse 1] Used to walk around, thinkin' I had a problem, Keepin' to myself 'cause nobody can solve 'em. Always fascinated by a single subject, Talkin' 'bout it like it would gain me respect. So many things interesting as a child, Others gettin' sick of it when I went on a while, Ramblin' on about things like they were magical. 'Till they shut me out like a misbehaving animal. And back then, I never saw what the problem was, Needed no one else, myself was enough. Back in my school, wit sharp as a harpoon, Focusin' on my work while in the classroom. Back then, I believed I had it right. Moral code in the school so black and white, Never did I think of areas that were grey, I thought that's how things were those days. [Hook 1] But I never wasted time, I rose up in my climb Alone by myself for hours, I was workin' on my superpowers. Wasn't wastin' time, couldn't get my fake on, Out there with my mask and cape on. Tryin' to be the best, gotta give it time. That's how superheroes learn to fly. [Verse 2] Used to walk around, thinkin' I had a problem, Kept to myself 'cause nobody can solve 'em. Knew the time to socialize would be persistent, But I was happy keepin' my distance. Oh damn, glad I wasn't driven insane, Didn't need friends, just good grades. Good kid, but social skills were lame. Was content by my video games. It all made sense to me right after, I grew up and I got my answer. So restrictive, so artistic, You're not weird, kid; just autistic. I got my answer, was so persistent, I wasn't strange, just wired different. I found it strange I was made that way, But it made me who I am today. [Hook 2] So I never wasted time, I rose up in my climb Alone by myself for hours, I was workin' on my superpowers. Wasn't wastin' time, couldn't get my fake on, Out there with my mask and cape on. Tryin' to be the best, gotta give it time. That's how superheroes learn to fly. [Verse 3] Used to walk around, thinkin' I had a problem, Now I think the fact I'm autistic's awesome! Since now I focus on what I do best, Gettin' all these lyrics out of my chest! Bringin' bars to these beats like a herder, Who knew I'd kill tracks with my Asperger's? Behind my laptop, I'd make sure I hit it right: Autism's my superpower, not my Kryptonite! Nowadays, there's no time to be a zero, Put my powers to use like a superhero! 'Cause I can do all this with high ease, You can hear the passion inside my speech! Sure, the rewards might be unlikely, But I'll still just do it like Nike, I'll be good if I achieve my dreams, 'Till then, I'll be the hero someone needs! [Hook 3] So I never waste time, I rise up in my climb Alone by myself for hours, Still workin' on my superpowers. Not wastin' time, can't get my fake on, See me with my mask and cape on! I will be the best, if I give it time. One of these days, I'll learn to fly!
