Lyrics:

Lately…
I put the words down first,
all cursive,
look for meaning in their dearth
Its recursive..
I draw the head haphazard
Then fill in the features,
make em fit ornamental.

I dont regret tattoos
They were made in this method..
Ink on the skin,
And the meaning will appear..
Even if it seems thin 
or results from a fear..
on a whim, its clear
when the needle dips in

and the jeer of yesteryear wears thin
and you notice how the
people around you make you feel..
They point out you are excelling
on platforms, you didn’t even know
you were standing on.

So 
you'll find me drawing up plans,
and writing out thoughts,
without loss or gain in mind,
just to see what comes of it
Take a bit of advice
Then just run with it.

Some things just don’t need words
The tone is enough to convey
So ill fly too close to the sun
With my muse under wing each day

Chorus: 
A simple flap of the wings brings simpler things
A simple flap of the wings
Yeah a simple flap of the wings
A simple flap of the wings brings that serotonian swing

Verse 2:
Keeping it simple man…
It’s a hell of a task
The presence of the lighter lessons learnt to outlive the dark
I trudge around the othersides’ grass and pull fast my mask
Tap a bottle; tap a keg on the ass

And laugh at my larks; ask to fill ya glass…
Inflict my issues onto your business
Rather than just breathing on through this
And seeing the simple silence as prudent

Ill update you on my mental status
(Were obsessed with being seen)
“The day that got away was thhiissss biggg”
Now everything I like is screened

(Immmm)
Rarely vested more so tested, transgression from the message
When I fessed that lesser blessings leave a present centred visage 
Evanescence ever stressing incessant sub letting
Clipped winged lessons on a lesser essence
Keep ya pen guessin..

So much said, so little felt
I miss my muse, im thawing out now
As her heart reforms and storms on
To brighten your day with song I hope

Cant be possessive of anyone or thing
That’s like taking an avocado you love
And spreading it so thin
That the taste is weak

And if you feel me well you feel me
We aren’t strangers to anyone’s experience
And if you hear me, well you hear me
You can move on lighter, no words needed

Chorus:

Jacky T - Wet ink (Demo Unmastered)

Another 48hr creation. This time, solely my production.

It's a chronological wander through my childhood in a small town, til the day I left to find a new home.

Coz I miss freestyling, this was written sans edits, and each poem recorded in one take, with minimal punch ins when I choked on a line.

Enjoy xx

Lyrics:

Love evolves, revolves, resolves anddd volverse
let it come Let it go
well versed
listen
undress the merits of the precursor
love is

Love is - never mentioning that you prefer the hard pillow as well, 
so your partner doesn’t have to share it or feel guilty
Love is sharing only what needs to be shared
Love is a bind
Love is kind
Love is nothing and all bared

Love is beyond that, love is saying hey ‘lets share that pillow’
I need strong support for my neck
This feathery crap just wont do

Love is nothing but chemical dependence
But hey
Ive tried the spectrum of drugs
And ill take it to the brain either way

Love, that feeling of 
Ahhh I don’t care
That its Saturday night
The smell of unwashed hair
Love, yes itsa chemical rush
Ill take the wet one when theres only two seats left on the bus

Love is admitting to yaself ya don’t know shit
Loves for the betterment of getting better head
instead sweating small stuff,  legit
A simply way to raise the dimples of the day
And pray that ya hands will come apart
Fuck the skies, hug ya guy or girl
Or watever, wrap someones ear off with ya arms
Suppress the need to feed the seed that
Just says that others just cause harm
Coz fuck yeah they do, its true

But the lack of control stroll
On past ya ego
We go, and flow and consider our path uncheckered
Love is.. just shutting the fuck up for a second


(Ladadaa lada daaa)

Lyrics:

Chorus:

Hello, my name is ignorance
Can i get a hell yeah?!
Hello my name is
Can I get any dumber?
Hell Yeah


Meet Tom
A simple kinda country fella
Moved to the city
as a kid loved dre & yella
Yeah hiphop n graffed up spots
As a back drop was wat got him hot
As a kid –
The trees outside his school window
Didn’t seem to match with his dreams so
He packed up his bags, and his fags,
And a bluey,
and he flew to the big city smoke n da sewers
It’s a pity he didn’t factor in the work though
Assumed that the game was set out for him yo
Confused as to why all these 'ethnic kids' had their cliques
and got gigs coz of the their skin

(Tom/T-Rad)
Yeah that must be it, fuckin racist shit
Steada quitting this rapping bit
Ima rap about white Australia
It’ll be a hit with me old mates back home, no failure
ima rap about women weed and whine
Works for Kerser, that’s a sure fire sign aiiight

Soon he blew up and in came the calls
Coz to get ya message across in aussie hiphop
Well Tom, wat ya say?

Well Its best not to have a message at all.. 

mmm i guess I gotta agree with that T-Rad


Chorus

Oi hey, this is T-Rad mate
Breaking out da foundary
I rap like my Jobseeker profile status - Outstanding
And me tour schedule of the local RSLs is demanding
Im country Vic's biggest hit
The sickest kids lick their lips 
I blaze joints in my knicks 
n rock the freshest kicks in the land
Me fans understand the sig-nifi-gance
Of me neck tats in me fuckin Instagram pics (bitch!)
Im an ill hilltop surveyor, rhyme sayer
Rich player 
Switch genres depending on what the radio is playing
Yeahh mannn, Doing a dubstep track 
with a fuckin hook from John Mayer
A flat brim cap backpacker kinda rapper
Who rhymes words with the same word
Like my favourite rapper
I keep my issues scattered n confounded
‘its too depressing to clean up n feel less surrounded’

Mmm Tom, actually, that line was pretty dope

Yeah I know
I bit it from Jacky T the poet
I get bigwig industry types to ghost write all my lines

Oh I see

Nah ya don’t, coz ya colourblind

You mean I dont see things through a racial lens and..

Yeah fuck you donno shit, ya..

Ahh Tom, I better go, Im late for the thought train..

Yeah later, ya fuck witttt.. 
Ciggie butt brainnnnn!!!!!

Chorus x 2
