Before I Self Destruct. (Intro) (JackCity) Yo, JackCity, personified, yea man, lets Go. (Verse 1) (JackCity) Its all i ever wanted/ to stay strong/ just a little bit of solid/ to sing a song so that i could get acknowledged/ stop looking at my life an hating what I've accomplished/ but been proud of what i am/ knocking down all the barriers that I've found/ I'm one of a kind like a class of compounds/ I'm acid/ douse me to get me down/ I'm corrosive when I'm hanging around/ hazardous/ its a must/ when you feel like i do trust/ this is my achilles heel/ a pain that'll never truly heal/ its to real/ its how i feel/ i expected too much/ (i guess it is the hope that kills you off)/ I've sat down so many times/ a serial urge to right these serious rhymes/ yo I've avoided every time/ its likely that ill cry/ but its crucial that i repossess what i feel is mine/ its my right to exercise these lines. (Chorus) (JackCity) Save me your bother/ cause I've forgot you now/ save me your bother/ your not gunna let me down/ save me your bother/ ill always remember how/ easy it was for you to leave me. x2 (Verse 2) (JackCity) You know I'm a full grown man now/ how many times can i let this just pan out/ my feelings running far too thick now/ i don't like how you just back down/ play the victim when its your thats vicious malicious i say everything out loud/ its impossible to argue this out/ cause your unwilling/ your unforgiving/ only see what your thinking/ i don't believe in/ any of this bullshit/ (please don't disrespect me)/ this is informal/ as much as people would like to think that its not at all though/ but its only Jack that fully understands his vocals/ so if i decide to put this out/ i do it/ fully without a doubt/ no doubt/ don't speak to me/ about what this track means or who its aimed to be at/ my pens pushing through the pad/ I'm loosing my shit/ its time to finish this track before it becomes something other than the therapy that it is. (Chorus) (JackCity) Save me your bother/ cause I've forgot you now/ save me your bother/ your not gunna let me down/ save me your bother/ ill always remember how/ easy it was for you to leave me. x2 (Outro) (JackCity) I hope i help someone through the pain/ so you can relate and you don't have to wade and wait/ until your idiot realises what gone away/ its my right to document what I've got to say.

ForGet It. (Chorus) (JackCity) Yo its a hiphop day/ its nice/ fresh morning when you wake/ little crisp but the suns on its way/ so make today your day/ yea, just make today your day. (Verse 1) (JackCity) I woke up feeling relatively fresh for a sunday/ grab the wallet see if I've left myself with any money/ the weekend has a tendency to stun me/ both physically and in my bank balance by monday but/ nothings gunna be stopping me when i feel like I've got so much to accomplish/ (to the studio)/ my mum calls it my office (yea)/ grab a quick cheap bite to eat its nice to see if the fit chick behind the counters nice to me/ as she slides me my receipt my mind starts to believe that i can achieve, be anything i wanna be/ all these feelings come for free i feel a shine when we meet/ it starts to fill me with a hunger to just be me/ so as i move through my street/ i start to realise that theres nothing in Taddy for me/ expect a habit that I'm struggling to defeat/ i gotta be the guy thats hard to reach/ its such a stupidly simple sequence/ just press delete. (Chorus) (JackCity) Yo its a hiphop day/ its nice/ fresh morning when you wake/ little crisp but the suns on its way/ so make today your day/ yea, just make today your day. (Chant) (JackCity) All i knows why I'm living it/ thats why I'm never giving in. x4 (Verse 2) (JackCity) So kick the hangover with the night before/ thats where it stays stored/ its time to hit the city were i record/ an get in touch with all my thoughts/ no time to let myself become bored/ thats what the hangover warns uh/ no mobile phone tones/ i only pick up the phone when I'm certain that its not a hoax/ i don't wanna know about the nights antics that i more than likely provoked/ or the drunken jokes uh/ the suns struck/ I'm feeling like I'm soaking it all up/ so turn the music up far past what you think you should/ (but remember kids)/ that ear damage just isn't good/ if i could i keep this feeling bottled up/ I'm just not this used to feeling on top of the mud/ an yea, i think i should/ but thats easier said than done/ an thats a big problem/ but screw it/ lets have some fun. (Chorus) (JackCity) Yo its a hiphop day/ its nice/ fresh morning when you wake/ little crisp but the suns on its way/ so make today your day/ yea, just make today your day. (Chant) All i knows why I'm living it/ thats why I'm never giving in. x4

Prize Fighter. (Chorus) (Twirl) Tell Me/ tell me whats going round your head/ tell me don't leave it all unsaid/ tell me/ tell me/ have you forgot/ a penny for your thoughts/ talk to me. (Verse 1) (JackCity) I felt like a prize fighter/ a cage fighter/ i was untouchable like the flame of a lighter yea/ i remember way back way back when/ i never give a fuck about anything/ (smashing on) everything i ever knew/ bringing it back/ now i shadow box on the track/ its a verbal hook so get back/ I'm used to been knocked/ an been told that i would not amount to a lot/ so what/ should i pay attention/ or should i use be contempt in not give a fuck with what they said/ (its the latter)/ but i deffo did some dumb shit I'm still not proud a/ i was to argumentative/ (an i still am so don't be a dick)/ struggle with respect for any authority/ respect i believe's earnt/ weather your dumb or a nerd/ cause been old doesn't make you mature/ i think your games floored/ so i stepped outta the box to be heard/ cause fighting ain't no crime/ when theres a prize on the line/ so sit the fuck up/ I'm telling you whats up with my mind. (Chorus) (Twirl) Tell Me/ tell me whats going round your head/ tell me don't leave it all unsaid/ tell me/ tell me/ have you forgot/ a penny for your thoughts/ talk to me. (Verse 2) (JackCity) Now I'm ready to be leaving my mark/ an this is just the start/ I've improved my mental state by perfecting my art/ in the beginning it was the production/ but now its more about surviving and been decisive/ cause to survive you gotta make the money from the wolves that pull you through the muck/ its so unjust/ but i stand up/ kick the dogs into touch/ an laugh like i enjoy beating up pups/ (huhuh)/ motherfucker lets get rough/ lets toughen up/ I'm hyping myself up/ going to war with anyone that thinks ill give this shit up/ I'm skint/ what like i give a fuck/ an yet its me that gets told to lighten up/ back up/ before i blow a nut/ I'm going off my fucking nuts/ I'm in no rush/ this is hiphop's crush/ I'm not playing when I'm in the booth/ I'm telling you the whole truth an nothing but/ thats the prerogative of a full blown old school nut/ I'm serious about my action/ wheres your reaction/ bring your faction/ join me its catching/ I'm chasing lights around the city/ trying to find one thats bright enough to fit me/ I'm JackCity. (Chorus) (Twirl) Tell Me/ tell me whats going round your head/ tell me don't leave it all unsaid/ tell me/ tell me/ have you forgot/ a penny for your thoughts/ talk to me.
