Let’s go it’s time to set this thing off
Lights, cameras, action so I can’t stop
Til I drop, keep it fresh like hi-tops
or risky business sliding in tube socks
so watch my stock, cause I got it going on
another episode of this sitcom
I know it’s your favourite so don’t touch that dial
I got skills, check it on my profile
And I’m so versatile, my raps are schizophrenic
With the rhetoric, better call a paramedic
You know I said it make your rhymes look so pathetic
Watch the attraction man cause mine are so magnetic
Make yours asymmetric, cause yours are out of wack
Sit back, layeth the smackdown with the rap attack
Yo, so tell me man how’d you like that?
A fast ferocious elbow from the people’s champ
Back to business everyone get your cameras
I’ll get the audience going so bananas
So get your asses, up from studio seats
Cause this here show is new and not a repeat
And I don’t use cheats, I am Professor oak
I leveled up with experience on victory road
and I ain’t slowbro, man I got the skills
I may not be signed but know I’m the real deal
People see my zeal, they call me overzealous
But honestly those cats are just simply jealous
Of my freshness, cause I do it with a smile
And they try and they can’t classify my style,
Cause I’m wild cobra kai, I sweep the leg
So Johnny ain’t getting crane kicked in the head
So no more fighting people, all hands on deck
We’re about to roll, so quiet on the set - Track Name: Shy Guy
-
See you around with that lovely smile on your face
So I’d chase but honestly I couldn’t make a case
So the pavement I can taste with my jaw on the floor
And before I knew it you were already out the door
Know that I would never make that same mistake twice
Though I’m treading on ice, I’d better roll that dice
Be nice to land lucky number seven, get some heaven
Cause you are the ideal direction that I’ll be headin’
Cause the future I have seen I’m Marty McFly
Drive in the DeLorean until we’re lost in time
Cause you’re such a find, I’ll want to show you off
I’ll call you Pikachu cause you give me electric shocks
I won’t stop, paralyze heal to get me to talk
And By then you’re falling for each word while we start to walk
And before we know it it’s dark, and we start to rock
Like the only thing left you’re wearing is a pair of socks
Every time that you walk on by
Know that you turn me into a shy guy
I can’t even speak and I don’t know why
Blown away by you and that ain’t no lie
What I would give for one more try
To lose another few hours in those eyes
Another opportunity will not be denied
So say hello before you go and say goodbye
Cause I want to make you mine
I get swept up in the moment, things go slow motion
When I’m around you I feel like I’m on a cloud floatin’
But at the same time under the rain soakin’
Because I got flustered and forgot to get my umbrella open
Drenched on the sidewalk, with a stupid look on me
Cause I saw the most beautiful girl that I’d ever see
And it’d be such a pity for me to let her avert my gaze
It’s obvious that I’d never get tired of seeing her everyday
So I’d stand there trying muster up the words to say
Think through my approach to her or should I stay away?
I’ll try not to bail at the last second and go astray
But it’s hard when this lump in my throat is getting bigger ok?
However the time comes for me to take that one chance
I stop you to say hello to begin that song and dance
The words are mine and the beat is bumpin’ romance
And before we know it, we’re fingers locked, grasping hands
Every time that you walk on by
Know that you turn me into a shy guy
I can’t even speak and I don’t know why
Blown away by you and that ain’t no lie
What I would give for one more try
To lose another few hours in those eyes
Another opportunity will not be denied
So say hello before you go and say goodbye
Cause I want to make you mine
So you wanna be with me? (I’m just asking)
Am I the future that you see? (I’m just asking)
With me you wanna spend your time? (I’m just asking)
Am I the guy stuck in your mind? (I’m just asking)
So you wanna be with me? (I’m just asking)
Am I the future that you see? (I’m just asking)
With me you wanna spend your time? (I’m just asking)
Am I the guy stuck in your mind? (I’m just asking)
So you wanna be with me? (you know you wanna)
Am I the future that you see? (there ain’t no drama)
With me you wanna spend your time? (you know you wanna)
Am I the guy stuck in your mind? (who else would be?) - Track Name: Will They Won't They

Will they, won't they
See they, need each other to be happy
They'd be, perfect,
If only, they'd open their eyes and just see
They were, connected,
Two souls, away from where they're supposed to go
To go, and it's obvious they know
Call them friends better yet Rachel and Ross
Here's the story of two star-crossed lovers lost
So they pay the cost, the time they gave away
days traded, forgetting what they needed to say
And we know, that they know what was going on
That they feel the void, when the other one is gone
before long, when it's too late, they see the wrong
that they should've been with the one, where they belong
In the first place heads floating in space
Drifting out of orbit gravity misplaced
Wasted opportunity quickly replaced
With regrets of not partaking in the chase
Denying their love just for, the hell of it
Scrubbing away what they feel, like JD and Elliot
If only they could spy some luck and get unstuck
They could buy more their love like Sarah and Chuck
Will they, won't they
See they, need each other to be happy
They'd be, perfect,
If only, they'd open their eyes and just see
They were, connected,
Two souls, away from where they're supposed to go
To go, and it's obvious they know
Wasting time at the office like pam and jim
Switch it to british, you call them dawn and tim
EPIC Fail or EPIC win, where do I begin,
They trade smiles all day, with patience wearing thin
And maybe they have no patients anymore, doctor house
wanting to cuddle cuddy, sneaking peeks down her blouse
the audience knows that she was meant to be your spouse
you have to tell her, start by opening your mouth
Will they, won't they
See they, need each other to be happy
They'd be, perfect,
If only, they'd open their eyes and just see
They were, connected,
Two souls, away from where they're supposed to go
To go, and it's obvious they know
Such a killer love, call them dexter and rita
Their love endangered someone go and get the number for peta
If only they would become mr senior and seniorita
We could chill at their wedding sip a dozen margaritas
They got chemistry fill up a couple hundred beakers
They blend nicely like this song through a pair of speakers
or the left and right, your favourite pair of sneakers
the stars of your classic Hollywood film feature
but this is not theatre, this here script is real
but she's still lois, and he's still the man of steel
inside their not quite as strong so they still conceal
the true nature of what exactly both their hearts actually feel
Will they, won't they
See they, need each other to be happy
They'd be, perfect,
If only, they'd open their eyes and just see
They were, connected,
Two souls, away from where they're supposed to go
To go, and it's obvious they know - Track Name: Young Love
-
Everyone’s telling us this won’t last
That we’re too young, we’re moving too fast
That we’re gonna crash, if we don’t brake
Drive this relationship, deep into the lake
But I believe it’s fate, we became one
We found love early, who cares that we’re young?
And we’re so sprung, everything looks bright
Under that smiling moon, under streetlights
And when it feels right, how could we be wrong?
When everything makes sense, even love songs?
And since we feel this strong, make this last forever
To infinity and beyond we’ll make it together
At the age of sixteen things were never better
As long as we had each other, on our way to forever
We were young and naïve, and so deeply in love
Spending every second, we couldn’t get enough
And when love ends hearts open for something new
And a new journey began and it began with you
And quickly before we knew, we were love struck
Happened so fast it must’ve been some good luck
So we were serious, and we meant it this time
And all the past relationships, were left behind
Cause in our minds, I guess we knew what’s up
Finishing highschool, hey we’ve grown up
At least we thought so until we hit road blocks
Distance became the problem, that made us stop
And we were both in knots, left it to the wind
Dodged the issue, and just kept it still within
So we lived out our days, with an expiration date
But savored every second, we could only celebrate
Until we said goodbye, and you boarded that plane
And we both realized we’ll never be the same again
At the age of eighteen things were never better
As long as we had each other, on our way to forever
We were young and naïve, and so deeply in love
Spending every second, we couldn’t get enough
And sometimes the past, doesn’t feel real
Was it really me, that was behind the wheel?
I can’t help what I feel, but my heart has to recover
Over time it will heal, when I find another
And it wasn’t that long, again I was mesmerized
Another young love story, was being scribed
Before my eyes, we were both so captivated
We began to question, is this what is fated?
But we were both elated, ignored the warning signs
Like how there was still no answer on the other line
But we were so intertwined, cause we didn’t care
We fell for each other, so we breathed in the air
And everything went well, just for awhile
Though things started to crack, starting with her smile
And things began to fade, now we couldn’t help it
Another story ending, if only I could change it
At the age of twenty things were never better
As long as we had each other, on our way to forever
We were young and naïve, and so deeply in love
Spending every second, we couldn’t get enough - Track Name: That Gut Feeling
-
Oh I got that gut feeling
That we’re both just sinking
And I guess we’re both thinking
That our end is now nearing
You’ve been so tense lately, wish you would lighten up
Everytime you kiss me I feel there’s something up
Did I miss something? Is this case open and shut?
Maybe we should skip the courtesy and break up
We’re going different directions, was this meant to be?
I guess I wasn’t the man you really wanted to see
Such a shame, it was fun while it lasted girl
And here I was a second ago, saying you were my world
That Feeling must be strong with that empty look on your face
And I guess this is the point, where we go our separate ways
And I guess I should’ve seen this coming from far away
You seem to have made up your mind, I can’t convince you to stay
Oh I got that gut feeling
That we’re both just sinking
And I guess we’re both thinking
That our end is now nearing
It’s like there was a timebomb in our relationship
The whole time we were just hanging off that cliff
Didn’t take much for both of our hands to slip
I guess I’m better off without all your stupid shit
So go ahead and quit, and throw it all away
I’ll just find someone better, so go make your mistake
And I’ll make my escape, and take a holiday
Maybe next time you should open up and communicate
And you can get your tape, stick us back together
But I could care less about adhesive cause you don’t remember
You tried this bullshit last time, saying we’ll last forever
But here we are again, this time went better? Oh whatever
Oh I got that gut feeling
That we’re both just sinking
And I guess we’re both thinking
That our end is now nearing - Track Name: Miss You Bad
-
Alone again, I can’t stop, thinkin’ bout ya
On my own, I feel nothing without ya
Empty, looking at what I had
Just know that I miss (miss) you (you)
so bad I can’t get this feeling gone
I just wish with me, you do belong
Stuck in place thinkin’ bout what I had
Know that I miss (miss) you (you)
So bad
It’s like hip hop without the drum beat
It’s not the same cause you’re not with me
Feels like everything’s out of my hands
It’s like an emcee without a crowd in the stands
Just projecting noise, without the other half
Without the one, with that adorable laugh
I wanna smash but the art remains my outlet
Comes with restless nights lying on the carpet
I wish you were here, so here’s my postcard
Write you a little something, cause the times are hard
It’s a recession so I have to save what little is left
But what’s there left to invest in? some more regret?
And then another 16 lines, don’t feel the same
When your absence, now ties me up in chains
I can’t complain, though I miss your touch
I only hurt this way because I know it’s love.
Alone again, I can’t stop, thinkin’ bout ya
On my own, I feel nothing without ya
Empty, looking at what I had
Just know that I miss (miss) you (you)
so bad I can’t get this feeling gone
I just wish with me, you do belong
Stuck in place thinkin’ bout what I had
Know that I miss (miss) you (you)
So bad
I miss the days, chilling under trees
I miss the way, that you looked at me
Head on my shoulder with your hands held in mine
Staring through the shade with our fingers intertwined
I check my phone now, no more sweet messages
No more love notes, no more love letters
You had a way with words that no poet could describe
You had my heart 140 characters at a time
Every anecdote shared, every little story
but I’m tumbling without you every morning
and know I’m caught between a rock and a hard place
cause I’m addicted to you, cause I got a taste
so nice, in my heart you feel very right
and all I want to do is come home to you every night
you’re my light, you’ve been sent from above
I only feel this strong cause I know it’s love
Alone again, I can’t stop, thinkin’ bout ya
On my own, I feel nothing without ya
Empty, looking at what I had
Just know that I miss (miss) you (you)
so bad I can’t get this feeling gone
I just wish with me, you do belong
Stuck in place thinkin’ bout what I had
Know that I miss (miss) you (you)
So bad
I trust my faith, it will bring us back
No matter the obstacles, in our path
No matter the distance that separates me from you
No matter the absolute pain that pierces through
So pull me back down to earth, I need this
And just pull me back out of my ignorant bliss
And I can’t resist, I’m accustomed to your name
Your photos are the only ones I want in picture frames
But if this was all in vein and just for nothing
Over time we’ll heal and stop the suffering
But until that fact is clear, I won’t stop my fight
Cause love is the only thing getting me through the night
Alone again, I can’t stop, thinkin’ bout ya
On my own, I feel nothing without ya
Empty, looking at what I had
Just know that I miss (miss) you (you)
so bad I can’t get this feeling gone
I just wish with me, you do belong
Stuck in place thinkin’ bout what I had
Know that I miss (miss) you (you)
So bad - Track Name: Sayonara
-
Waiting, wishing feeling stuck in place, I cannot move
Every second takes me further and further from you
Nothing left to do, I’m about to break
I tried hard, but no more I can take
Now this sinking feeling takes me right below the floor
These problems there are now too many to ignore
I’m plagued with thorns, one of which you now resemble
I played with fire, burnt my hands so I wasn’t careful
And now these solemn fists firmly beat upon the drum
And each breath is one closer to the final one
I know we’re done and I can see our curtain call
It takes so long to build it up and mere moments to fall
How now to recover from the rubble left in your wake
How I trusted you, this expression will not equate
so let the earth shake, cause I am finding ground
Enjoy being alone, I’m better off without you around
I’m sick of all the games that you play
And all the stupid things that you say
I’ve never felt this much pain before
Bye Bye, this ain’t funny anymore.
And you can take that pretty face with you
And all of our memories too
Lastly, I’ll show you the door
Bye Bye, this ain’t funny anymore.
You kept it all hidden you never said what you needed to
But your eyes spoke the truth, cause they see right through
Your disguise, those walls you surround your heart with
Barricaded within a fortress, with no way in
Solitude but I do not intend for this song to hurt you
Or to the other few that this song is referring to
As you know I wear my heart on my sleeve
And you can’t ever blame me when it chooses to bleed
Now I can’t let you take this burden on your own
I would rather take the blame, cause I should’ve known
Should’ve taken things slow, not have lost my grip
I would rather be the asshole in the relationship
And this chorus wasn’t just you, it was also me
It took two to screw things up, naturally
and now I’ll continue to proceed and share my goodbyes
It was obvious we were just living two separate lives
I’m sick of all the games that I play
And all the stupid things that I say
You’ve never felt this much pain before
Bye Bye, this ain’t funny anymore.
And I can move myself far from you
And all of my problems too
Lastly, I’ll fall to the floor
Bye Bye, this ain’t funny anymore - Track Name: The Suburban Dream
-
Here I go again, with a simple dream
Feels like it’s real, not from a movie scene
Beauty in the everyday, normal routine
Home in the suburbs, like on TV
Begin with four walls, then add a roof
Get a floor plan, divide in some rooms
Estate living, with excellent schools
The last time I’ll ever have to move
Lay down some roots, stay through the winter
Weekends by the fire and guests for dinner
I Feel like a winner with my killer casserole
Kids running around, take some paracetamol
Lose the remote control, another anecdote
Family dog in the backyard, lost his bone
Dug everything up, like a combat zone
Laughed about it with relatives on the phone
Another birthday, counting on the years
Delicious cake and another three cheers
To health, to life, to another great 12 months
And to the clean air filling up my lungs
Breathe out, watch the air when I exhale
From snow to summer shine, from sun to hail
Stay together through it all, without fail
The suburban dream described in vivid detail
A wife, a couple kids, you know a family
in a nice house, on a nice street
With a stable job and no worries
Living life, like a movie
Watch the years pass, enjoy the ride
With my only love, by my side
Feel so alive, without a care
Close my eyes, I’m almost there
This is the white picket fence, I envision
The nuclear family depicted on television
The way every episode, was always written
Like on every show, even on the Simpsons
Even so this dream feels so animated
Cause real life is so much more calculated
Wish I could trade it, and just live in this dream
Take me away from the burdens of reality
To that nice big house in the suburbs
Volvo in the driveway, audi on the curb
Living undisturbed, in our little cul-de-sac
Quietly pay off the loan from the local bank
And coast a long without any residual fear
So bring on the next 30 plus mortgaged years
And give me a viable career, to support this all
To provide this roof and these four walls
A wife, a couple kids, you know a family
in a nice house, on a nice street
With a stable job and no worries
Living life, like a movie
Watch the years pass, enjoy the ride
With my only love, by my side
Feel so alive, without a care
Close my eyes, I’m almost there
I’m almost there
A wife, a couple kids, you know a family
in a nice house, on a nice street
With a stable job and no worries
Living life, like a movie
Watch the years pass, enjoy the ride
With my only love, by my side
Feel so alive, without a care
Close my eyes, I’m almost there - Track Name: Class Warfare
-
Corrupt politicians and selfish thieves
Wielding wealth bursting at the seams
Now what happened to my one and only dream
To provide for a family so yo I need some green
But it seems only a few have the means
To supply their families with groceries
And when did the rat race rely on cheese?
So to the powers to that be, I obey yes please
Yes I may be young but I have priorities
To plan for a future and man it is a tease
All I want is a happy ending for my movie
But I always seem to get caught up in the squeeze
Student loans, bills and living expenses
Tempted by the charm of the excesses
Motivated by the promise of successes
Now all I want is the white picket fences
Now if you’re sick of status quo
Simply nod your head to the flow
If you doubt the distance you can go
Fight your way to the front of the show
Now if you think that things aren’t fair
Join me, wave your fists in the air
If you’re tired of the class warfare
Say it with me, we just don’t care
And it evens extends into the classroom
Kids in public schools get taken for common fools
And yes I am a product of the catchment pool
But somehow I was still equipped with the right tools
To make a difference but others weren’t as lucky
And the upper echelons looked at them yucky
But still coasting along floating like rubber ducky
Even though getting underestimated is now nothing
No hope, no future, no point in trying
Despite being shoved down we are surviving
Because we have all mastered the art of grinding
We conform to the stereotype? (Re-check your findings)
I take pride I will be able to get my breakthrough
Score one for the middle class, oh it’s true it’s true
Tertiary educated emcee draped in a business suit
If I can get through then I know that you can too.
Now if you’re sick of status quo
Simply nod your head to the flow
If you doubt the distance you can go
Fight your way to the front of the show
Now if you think that things aren’t fair
Join me, wave your fists in the air
If you’re tired of the class warfare
Say it with me, we just don’t care
I couldn’t believe it, I heard a person say
(Why should we even raise the minimum wage?)
Well, until you affluent assholes get little pay
Maybe you could hold an argument to make your crappy case
I’ve been there, I paid my dues for pocket change
At a supermarket, stocking shelves it was a cage
And when the manager yelled at me, I would simply rage
Just cause I was nearing empty on my fuel gauge
Because I was sixteen and needed pocket money
I got crappy working conditions, it wasn’t funny
and that’s what all the worker bees will do for honey
boils down to anything to stop the grumbling from tummies
despite this I still cherish all those dead end jobs
they made me stronger to handle the snooty snobs
and these hardships I go through I would never swap
though I wish for others that these hardships would stop
Now if you’re sick of status quo
Simply nod your head to the flow
If you doubt the distance you can go
Fight your way to the front of the show
Now if you think that things aren’t fair
Join me, wave your fists in the air
If you’re tired of the class warfare
Say it with me, we just don’t care - Track Name: DNA
-
I can’t help it, it must be in my DNA
I’m so accustomed to spitting lines on the stage
And there’s no logic for the way I behave
It’s just the way thoughts attempt to escape my brain
And that’s the way I plan to enter the grave
When my body finally succumbs to the pain
No excuse, I am the result of decisions made
And my coming future is chained to the present day
And I am ingrained to the debts I am due to pay
Default position at the mercy of bankers play
But the money is an afterthought compared to fate
Afterall I still have my own mortal life to save
Afterall I still have to adjust my mind to obey
And my choice is to rise up and not fade away
When life flashes past I always check the replay
But when I do the ghosts come out from hiding and say
You messed up this time do you see a recurring pattern?
But I don’t and I reply its because my life is shattered
She left you again so what? Did she really matter?
The fact she ripped out my heart again, left it on a platter
And these thoughts do scatter, I can’t think straight
My mind is buzzing with thoughts that incriminate
That point the blame at myself until my pupils dilate
Til my mind numbs and the calm becomes my heart rate
And sometimes I refuse to relate, must be genetics
I’m shielding myself away, from brutal hysterics
Emanating from the heretics, I’m forever on trial
Look them all in the face, shoot them all a smile
And all the while I was programmed for human love
I thought it betrayed me but the connection is my drug
Sure knows how to hug, I can’t break its hold
My genes prevent me from escape cause my heart is sold
And my bones grow old with every deceptive second
Am I so far off the reservation I lost my place in heaven?
Or did I overheat my engine? Should I take some rest?
But I can’t when all these burdens won’t come off my chest
And all I want is for me to pass that one test
But I dream that I’m falling out of sky high jumbo jets
So my subconscious decides to express my stress
I’m waking in cold sweats, cardiac arrest
To what can I attest this struggle, I’m only human
My life feels like it’s a reality show, I am Truman
A picture of what it means to be real
A portrait of a man who begins to heal - Track Name: Apathy
-
Whatcha know my life has now become a case study,
Every good deed I do counts for nothing, ain’t it funny
That when I’m happy the weather outside ceases to be sunny
Maybe I should be more selfish next time cause life is crummy
All I want is things to go right this time, I’m at the edge
and what I’ve been taught makes me think I’ve been mislead
Put others before yourself was the important mantra said
So is it possible that I’m out of kindness and love to spread?
I’m running on empty on empathy know that its killing me
And when did I become so jaded, how could I let this be?
Could it be the sea of people walking all over me
Maybe I let others have fun while I act as the referee
I accept that this message is terrible, I am rightly humbled
If I weren’t rapping this out loud, this instead would be mumbled
Under my breath as I walk arrogant as I stumble
If happiness is the end zone, I appear to have fumbled.
Cause I’m sick of doing right
I’ve been doin’ it all my life
I always make the sacrifice
And where’d that get me?
I accept the fact that I’m human
And that there’s room for self-improvement
So in life I’m just a student
I’m battling the apathy, how could I let this be a part of me?
Honestly, tell me something’s really truly wrong with me
Call me apathetic and yes I get it
Maybe I’ve become overzealous with the rhetoric
It’s possible I’ve gotten sick with the people politic
all the deluded fakes with all of their common shtick
and their selfishness reduced down to a comedy bit
so when you try to stand up they force you back down to sit
So you grit your teeth losing altruism until you submit
Until you admit that you can no longer take all the shit
Anymore to the point that your heart gets torn
To peace in pieces and you’ve got your arms drawn
You’ve shut yourself in to weather the upcoming storm
Things get so unpredictable like the forecast in Melbourne
And the only thing you wanted to do, was try and help
You used to give yourself in response to ease what others felt
And in return they exploited you and put you back on the shelf
That’s why in order to help others you need to first help yourself
Now I’m sick of doing right
I’ve been doin’ it all my life
I always make the sacrifice
And where’d that get me?
I accept the fact that I’m human
And that there’s room for self-improvement
So in life I’m just a student
I’m battling the apathy, how could I let this be a part of me?
Honestly, tell me something’s really truly wrong with me
I feel so destroyed and so empty
And this burden is getting heavy
Things aren’t going so steady
Maybe I’m just not that ready
I’m still grasping on to this rope
Despite the pain in my throat
Maybe this note you will quote
The last thing I hold onto is hope
Still I’m sick of doing right
I’ve been doin’ it all my life
I always make the sacrifice
And where’d that get me?
I accept the fact that I’m human
And that there’s room for self-improvement
So in life I’m just a student
I’m battling the apathy, how could I put this out for all to see?
Honestly, tell me something’s really truly wrong - Track Name: Cognizance

Life is short, I can’t keep living like this,
Every breath I take, the air against my lips
I’ve never felt this lost in the thick of the mist
Watching myself wander into the abyss
So what do I do? Do I sit and wallow?
Just because of this sinful pride I swallow?
Cause I’m living a life that seems so utterly hollow
Because of the correct path I refused to follow
Now I’ll make this right, before my life I forfeit
So each second is a blessing, be grateful for it
You’d be arrogant if you would choose to ignore it
Wake up, it’s a clear sign that you should now adore it
So I’m awakened with a little more knowledge
One year shy from graduating from college
So to live my life is the promise I pledge
Never intended to get this close to the ledge
Cause we all have a short time
On this earth we're given
So what i will leave behind
Is now the life i'm livin'
I promise to give my all
Save this gift i've been given
Learn to walk now and not crawl
Cause this is my beginning
I’ve languished in my ways, death is laughing at me
I need to shove this fear in his face, instead be happy
But that would mean shaking this monkey off my back
But I’m a little out of sync, a little out of whack
And at rock bottom I came to an epiphany
Fuck all those people who never ever believed in me
And to all my friends and the family who supported me
I am forever in your debt, your love has set me free
Now what’s there left to say but I understand
That this life I have is actually mine to command
So the power of change is inherent in my hands
That’s why I pump my fist to the people in the stands
Each second, aware of my mortality
Cause I know the grim reaper’s scyth is following me
Ready cut me down to size, I think I deserve it
Cause this gift given by god, I need to preserve it
Cause we all have a short time
On this earth we're given
So what i will leave behind
Is now the life i'm livin'
I promise to give my all
Save this gift i've been given
Learn to walk now and not crawl
Cause this is my beginning
I feel liberated, I feel dignified
I’ll Seize control of my soul for the rest of my life
I’ll Be thankful to now rise and take flight
Instead of inane excuses and sound bites
I feel like all this pressure is now leaving me
I’ve stood tall amidst the rubble and the burning debris
If only you could all see, what I have seen
You could empathize with all the paths I have been
And all of the dead ends and all the broken dreams
Something better is coming has become my theme
So life, death and in between I’ll play out my scenes
To make the most out of my cameo on the screen
So I made my peace now, no need to justify
Cause in this moment if it’s my time I’ll collapse and die
The plan I will not defy, been down that road
Fighting the inevitable and reaping what I have sown
Cause we all have a short time
On this earth we're given
So what i will leave behind
Is now the life i'm livin'
I promise to give my all
Save this gift i've been given
Learn to walk now and not crawl
Cause this is my beginning - Track Name: Lola's Song

And since you passed away
I wish you could've stayed
So why did you have to go?
If you could see me now
Please tell me you're proud
You just have to let me know
It was your time, I couldn’t let go
Into the light, my world went cold
And my world blacked out, it went dark
The second that the beat, left your heart
Far removed from March, standstill
Your eyes closed, didn’t feel real
There’s so much I wish, you could now see
I have so much to share, well everything
And do you know that we all still miss you?
All the love and lessons you gave too?
And I miss those days at the piano
You’d play all these songs, I did not know
Only saw your last 19 years
But there’s much more, that I want to hear
Sincerely with love, your grandson
Please write back in time when you have some
And since you passed away
I wish you could've stayed
So why did you have to go?
If you could see me now
Please tell me you're proud
You just have to let me know
Things seem to get back to normal
But things still feel so horrible
How can everyone smile and move on?
In the knowledge that you’re now gone?
Maybe it’s the fact you’re free from the pain
Father time you bastard, you should be ashamed
You broke her down, like you couldn’t care
She couldn’t take that last year in that wheel chair
Whatever to that, at least your spirit roams
I take you with me, when I leave home
You’re now imprinted, in everything I do
Vicarious but a welcome reminder of you
And I’m thankful, you were here for me daily
And you basically raised me right from a baby
And you loved me so much, I couldn’t stand it
I should have never taken you for granted
And since you passed away
I wish you could've stayed
So why did you have to go?
If you could see me now
Please tell me you're proud
You just have to let me know - Track Name: Reasons To Live

Time is running out like that muse song
And I’m a stupid ape, call me donkey kong
A monkey pondering existence all day long
I think I exist to live, but correct me if I’m wrong
So yet another theological debate
The root of all of the world problems, the pain and hate
So maybe God is telling each side, love and relate
Instead of using his name to destroy, and not create
And I’m not the one to philosophize or prophesize
But the idealist in me is fighting the realist tonight
And you could say I’m naïve and you’re probably right
But sometimes some of us need delusion to sleep at night
In a world where people live or die constantly
Or as evident on new reports on tv screens
Now God give me strength, some reason for my being
Cause I’m now searching for you until I stop breathing
I won’t stop until I find the answers I’m searching for
I will keep going even if it leaves me dead on the floor
So do not worry ‘bout me, I’ll be about my grind
So in time I’ll find reasons to live my life
I’m on the pursuit of happiness, like that Cudi song
And my future could arrive soon, before long
And maybe I’m still looking for that somewhere I belong
But I’ve been busy bouncing around like a game of pong
And I can’t keep playing games like this anymore
I’ve caught 151 and beaten the elite four
I’ve collected 120 stars, did you see my score?
And I spit so many bars, I should go on tour
I also spit many lies, a walking contradiction
Of things I say I do, but don’t do with conviction
And I often question the reasons why I don’t listen
probably because I’ve got less than 20/20 vision
That’s why I rock prescription lenses on my face
Cause daily I lock eyes with the devil’s advocate
Telling me to stop searching and reciprocate
But I fight against him, cause I’m not his next candidate
I won’t stop until I find the answers I’m searching for
I will keep going even if it leaves me dead on the floor
So do not worry ‘bout me, I’ll be about my grind
So in time I’ll find reasons to live my life
I’m so far removed from the person you used to know
I wouldn’t recognize me from a year ago
I now feel like I have grown, I have purpose
I no longer feel so disillusioned and worthless
I may not have the answers, I struggle with this
But that doesn’t mean that I should just now calls it quits
Cause this journey to discover the truth I choose to live
It may consume my being but I know it’s worth the risk
I won’t stop until I find the answers I’m searching for
I will keep going even if it leaves me dead on the floor
So do not worry ‘bout me, I’ll be about my grind
So in time I’ll find reasons to live my life - Track Name: Fresh Start

I’ve been through bad times, I’ve been through the good
And it’s this one concept I’ve never understood
Until now, I think I’ve had a perspective shift
Cause I realize I can be swift and not float adrift
And dump every burden weighing me down overboard
And my reward is heard in every note, every chord
So I release this pressure every time I hit record
And every time I do, hit me with a full restore
And the rain may still pour, but the water is refreshing
I’ll take every triumph and failure as a blessing
And I have been tested, I have no doubt about it
so who cares about success when your head is clouded?
Cause mine’s now free, I feel like a summer breeze
I’ll float right past you gracefully with happy ease
It’s like I’ve unlocked life, with a master key
Stepped outside for some fresh air for me to breathe
Sometimes I wish I could just pack it up and leave this place
But these faces I’ve grown attached to have a sweet embrace
And sometimes I wish I could just float off into outer space
Begs the question what on earth will fit into my suitcase?
And I can taste the taste of freedom on the tip of my tongue
Take in that fresh air enveloping both my lungs
Been a long time since the last time I felt this sprung
Thank god I still have much time left, I’ve only just begun
And still so damn young, why drag yourself with anxiety
Just sit back and slowly prepare for future society
Cut yourself down a notch too, what’s with all the rivalry?
All these comparisons only serve to hurt you in your entirety
Far from finality, your ending is never etched in stone
For the time being document each story with the microphone
Bring you back into the zone, breathe in and meditate
Keep with the faith and celebrate for it is never too late
I may be afraid of change, but now I welcome it
With open arms, it’s a blessing and a welcome gift
I’m uplifted to begin, hit that reset button
Refresh myself, maybe find a new special someone
To bring me back to life, jumpstart my heart
I want new adventures, I can’t wait to depart
So where to start? The world is at my doorstep
I’m going to live my life to the fullest with no regrets - Track Name: Final Cut

Pull the plug, consider this a cancellation
Pfranco the emcee making salutations
So close the casket, shovel dirt on this sitcom
Keep calm, you’ve still got the pleasure of this last song
Cause this is a last stand, the last resort
And I’d like to thank you all for the generous support
To survive this ride that has just been hella bumpy
but still laughing anyway, to keep it funny
so raise your hands up high if your hung on every word
we’ll tear the roof off this place and raise a red alert
so grab your hammers cause its super smash time
brothers and sisters move your hands in line with mine
It’s over now, the curtain's down,
Get yourselves ready for the final cut
Say goodbye now, the curtain's down
You know what’s coming it’s the final cut
This is the intended design, it’s stadium music
100 thou in the crowd and you’re all losing it
It’s like these sound waves simply affect brain function
So scramble those signals and put your entire head in the oven
Cause I bake the place, turn it up to 100 degrees
See that sweat dripping across your face right down to your knees
Cause I do what I please, you’re in my house now
Better take off those shoes or I’ll put your ass down
And punch you in the mouth, don’t like me get the fuck out
Never seen a nerd spit this raw? Knockout
KO so GG so let’s wrap up this hip hop tutorial
and put your hands up, I do this hip hop thing for all of yall
It’s over now, the curtain's down,
Get yourselves ready for the final cut
Say goodbye now, the curtain's down
You know what’s coming it’s the final cut
It’s over now, the curtain's down,
Get yourselves ready for the final cut
Say goodbye now, the curtain's down

I’m a maniac, I cause heart attacks
I’m flailing out of control, feel the whiplash
And check the almanac and go check your facts
I’m so tenacious, you could call me jack black
And when I’m on the track, I only spit hot fire
cause I’m telling the truth man, I ain’t no liar liar
I’m more the town crier, so hear ye hear ye
Pfranco haseth the rhymeths that are guilt free
Cause I speak easy, and that’s your guarantee
Cause you’re all luckily in the vicinity
of an emcee who hails from the major leagues
I play on the field while you play in fantasy
So no apologies, I’m a natural please
So get out of the way, or be a casualty
So rhymin’ is my specialty, cause I’ll happily
Bless the mic all across our galaxy
And break the image of your typical rhyme beast
I’m a nerdy asian kid from Melboune’s south east
And what’s up to all my people from the Philippines
Your boy is making noise by blowin’ beats to smithereens
I slash like wolverine, right through your tv screen
so scream like you watched paranormal activity
And jump like trampoline, or like lima beans
So why don’t you sing along, like karaoke fiends
You want another encore? call me jay-z
cause I work hard to make other rappers look lazy
and baby with the pen I scribe art like Scorsese,
all for people to say my raps are crazy
and those punch lines tasty, I’m the iron chef
when I cook beats in my kitchen you know that I’m one of the best
cause ha-choo, I guess I must be so blessed
cause finally I got this rap right off my chest
