My Name is Jack

i admit,
there might be something wrong with this
they fit,
he never quit the trips
too long to end
snappin picks real quick
real time every frame
cause he's the guy with no name
and Nobody's never shamed

big *#$%@
she's the reason why he tries to lay but
lies in a cradle made for the king of the New Age
and they play like he's a save-iore
but Grendle knew he was an elephant in a padded room groomed for
everybodies favorite

*truman* *attraction* a superman retracting
from the spot light of hard knock lifes
and spites of audience factions
no mask reveals his core
but they remember somethign that happened right before
3 years last november in the fall

and *this is how i feel*
no tears from a dove would take back, steal the
shreds through his body
he's in shock and he don't feel
his chest fully throbbing
smoke smell forgot
as a defense
*mechanism*
tick tock, heart a clock
minute hand an iron rod

a sun, burns through most material
and all the money burnt won't bring back
above surface of ground zero
he's the akura of his own plot
the hero of what's not
he's got the keys to the bottomless pit of
of the bottomless lost

and he's the boss
*REJECTED* and not even paid
he reflected on his "bizrre baehavore"
detected the other day
sure he's brave
but stone cold is even bold-er
6 feet under tripled
so deep macabre is a chip off his lone shoulders

*WELL DONE...!*

my name is Jack
i make my own job
i make my own kingdom
of gog and magog
you can't call me Him
but you can call me King
and what i am not
is what He brings

x2

establishing an everlasting empire
without bombastic attire
at least within my mind
i find,
when i get higher
i need help getting faster
and closer to the Master Idea
that's inspired me to be
better than i am

And *I AM IS*.
*better than Jesus...?!?!*
but i could never be better than that
better than he is.
i could never walk the path relive my track
and go back and relax and be a kid.
*and this is*
my choice
*and this is*
my voice

it's the pain that splatters the walls and speckles
like rain on tin roof makes the halls in a temple echoe
only temporary tempus fugit
but the tempest lest not forgets
the night of weather most tempestuous-test

*i regress*
if this is a test,
oh no, it's not a test
for sure, i hope for the best
that when i die i won't regret
what happened when i was alive
know then, before i dive into waters so deep
i have to really think about
*why?!*

*WELL DONE...!*

my name is Jack
i make my own job
i make my own kingdom
of gog and magog
you can't call me Him
but you can call me King
and what i am not
is what He brings

x2

INTRO
This summer, coming to a theater
near you...
They made him from the best
technology...
But what they didn't know,
is that he would fight back

Rise, the phoenix...!


-----------------------------------
whatchu think i'm gonna rap now    
like a rap star with a bow tie?    
like i gotta degree now            
from the rap elite  
from the school of rhymes...?

like i gotta black cap and gown
the darth vader of rap        
a new master now
a knight, i'm nice - NOT
a slight mistype, i real,
u - *robot*.

made of
steel my thougts, not bought,
you parted with reptile hearts of cold
but i'm bold, warm blooded,
sunflowers, like every painting from 
vince vaghn gogh

these fags relapse
while i pass the relax
cause i am superman
but the only metal i have
is the gold i create
from midas hands

never resting, ever testing
ever besting every plan
doesn't take a fool to recant and
realize just really who i am

count me in, a ten
every game i'll win
all your little lame situations
if there was a problem
*eh* i'll solve it
check out the beat xj evolves it
-----------------------------------
chorus

if there was a right time baby
then i'd be on time baby

back and forth
back and forth
back and forth (1-2-3-4!)

-----------------------------------
it's been 7 years since i seen the chi
7 long years too long gone by
i'm hungry for a new sensation
girl give me out what you been giving

i've been living in a rut of darkness
been brainwashed see i'm on this spell
girl hypnotize me to be cool
cause i'm coming straight from hell

bout to burn down my whole life
bout to cut this frown and smile
i'm moving straight to chi town
and when i get there i'm gonna *fly*

i'ma genius on another level
with brilliant thoughts that will
rock your mind
only problem is i got so much potential
i might as well overdosed and died

but i've already been diagnosed
i'm not some wannabe joker
i'ma freakin bat i'm hungry
girl come here i wanna get closer

i won't stop till i get to the top
i can gaurantee one thing
hello world it's 2014
bout to be thriller all over again

crappy lyrics

well this is my first attempt this year at lyrics, actually over a year. they're kinda crappy.
o well, practice makes perfect.

crappy lyrics

tic tac paddy wack let's go
cross a jack, light a match, i got a house full
and it's been 4
since the first war
on the opposite side
and i don't even know

what they cried about
was he delerious?
a wolf in sheeps clothing
what he so serious...?
like i got something now
just to even hide about
paranoia keep me in a
secret hide out

while it's light out
but when it's night out
i steal the bright out
from the lamps across the street

i'm defeated at my feet
there's no exit free
now
the hate within me builds connections
-somehow

miraculously
the elephant survives
but no, he floats
oh how beautiful he glides
over a sea of blue green
it's serene
sureal
unreal
he flies
for real
-this time

watch the show, the display
of affection he get's
from the stage
and the eyes in collection
peer through the blinds
to the inside of mind
where they look and reveal
everything that they find

on the other side
of the dark wall
this side
a mirror, a man thin and tall
while they watch it all
and peer
are they near or far
cthey can see through this skin
but can they see the scars

ladies and gentlemen
-the freak
you've all been waiting for!
just caste your vote for debauchery in this box
go ahead don't hesitate or waste another
breathe
you wanted your X-J
take your next step

Untitled Song
Lyrics by XJ Hall.
Performed by XJ Hall.

verse 1
I just want to let out and lash out
just let my feelings crash out
blow my enemies away and
know the day that I can shout
My warcry won't be denied 
when I let out what's inside,
can I be free without people telling me
what to do all the time?
But I'm controlled by fear,
no emotions been so near
my heart 
can't stop beating
cause fear is bleading
from the depths of my soul
I couldn't control myself
or anybody else,
in my way,
crushing the ground beneath my feet of fury
running past chaos towards the light of day
But I'll always have that past,
and I'll always have it's curse
I'm afraid to move forward with life
without putting the gears back in reverse
I gotta break the shackles of fear
and undo what life has done so long,
There is nothing to fear but fear
but even fear itself is gone

chorus
When I look in the mirror 
Imagine where I'll be
Will I still be shackled up?
Or will I be free?

Now I don't want to fall down again
Cause my past is like a hole
But dear father please lift me up
So I can stand and let it
-go.

and be FREE

verse 2
Success
I'm stackin it
Cause I'm trying like immaculate
sis-ters
I'm perfect cause I learned it
from my burns and and past blisters
Aint Catholic but none-the-less I mastered it
-the word
A little hazardous, but crappy hits,
aint having it
-heard?
I'm building port-folio
that will only grow
stronger-better-faster with time.
Getting faster at
these beats in fact
I can't relax
my rhyme
Getting longer raps
but it's never wrapped
always space to expand
and find
a new horizon
enlightenment
and signs

Yesterday
was just the past
figment, idea, it was just imagined
but still a thread of my daily fabric
so palpable, it matters
It's physical, within my brain
I can't let go of what remains
even though I'm not the same
I seem to move to a better place
I can't forget what's made me
I'll always have a past
like the layers of a masterpiece
has made me who I am
I gotta break the shackles of fear
and undo what life has done so long
there is nothing to fear but fear
but even fear itself is gone

chorus
If you see yourself in ten years
Imagine where you'll be
Will you still be shackled in chains?
Or will you be free?

Now I can't fall with you
Cause your past is like a hole
But I'll be there to lift you up
To help you stand and let it
-go

so be FREE

You and I

You and I
Lyrics by XJ Hall.

verse 1 (performed by XJ Hall)
when ever i need you with me
i know you're always by my side
will we ever be free of eachother?
can't hide a past that makes us bind
but it's okay to see
cause we're going to places we can fly
building empires in my mind
you and i

chorus (enter vocalist / singer)
whatever life shows us, whatever we dream,
will always stay within my mind
where the wind blows, where ever we go,
i already know, it's you and i

v2 (xj)
i'm going back to chitown
it's as easy as could ever be
and when i leave on the line
and i'm bringing all them home with me
fall in the big city
scraping up against the sky
it will be just like old times
you and i

v3 (xj)
yo
i'm going home again but it's not the same can't ever replace this
can we ever go home again without feeling friends and picking up faces?
time can mend the past but remember it lasts forever within our minds
wouldn't it be a shame if we didn't die by the things that have always kept us alive?
my heart belongs in that city, my soul belongs to you
and i'll take a strong part of that with me, cause i know that we're one in of two
they say it's a windy place, well we must have blown out of the sky
flying kites by the lake in the summer time
whatever the take it's (you and i)

ch (singer / vocalist)
whatever life shows us, whatever we dream,

Lyrics by XJ Hall.

verse 1
man, i'm fried
i'm sick and i'm tired
i applied online
but i'm not getting hired
i applied my mind
but i'm just getting fired
now what does that say...?
i'm too dope to be trying
i lose hope and i cry
why god oh god why
what the hell does this have to do with the bible?
this aint for the frightful
i'm on a mother fucking tight rope
but i'd rather take the chance and dance
freelance while i'm not that spiteful
can't rely though on societal means
to fulfill and achieve my dreams
what the hell is a dream when it's somebody else's?
all these dreams came off a shelf
a factory pumping out the lines
selfless thoughts and mindless minds
propaganda tube controls the views
but if it's up to me i'd rather choose

bridge
keep me doing the things i do for you
i'm on a roll i'm on a roll
cause if you keep a man with a plan locked in a room
you're in control you're in control
and i aint freakin having that

chorus

Fall

Fall
Lyrics by XJ Hall.

i wanted to save this thought for rain
but it is unlikely i will write again
these clouds through this window jack makes his grin
and i remember when i was ten

each day each dawn brings faith to fall
as my shadow grows taller
the grasshopper dies off
remember each day, take it in a chill breath
as the sunset flies
here's to life
here's to fall

art is made from elaborate plan
the blueprints to wright, the dna strand
it all takes time that i don't have
so lock up my thoughts in a black tin can

each day each dawn brings faith to fall
as my shadow grows taller
the grasshopper dies off
remember each day, take it in a chill breath
as the sunset flies
here's to life
here's to fall
