first ever single. let me know what you think! (lyrics below)

Lyrics:

Me, I've spent some time
just thinking to myself
trying to get out of this maze 
but afraid to admit that i need some  help

the independent type
and out of spite known to rebel
but i've been hyper extending my knees
still failing to reach whats on top of the shelf

i'm, coming strait out of my shell
but some of these people are after my pearl
leaving no trust for these girls
keeping nuts up in their mouths like a couple of squirrels 

fuck this world, its turned its back
spending my nights locked up in the lab
filling a page and hoping for change
but how can i make it without some cash

ain't claiming to want the simple life
just looking for a way to earn my stripes
while I was out here working 
you were doing nothing but flying kites 

I, already got the pilot light ignited
asking "where's the gas at?"
pilots been recruited
its time to get up off the map fast

staring at this pad
while my hand fills it up with words
light a match and drop it, ain't no stopping
once it starts to burn see

this is how i learn 
filling a swisher up with some herb
cause i don't care bout that dissin
once my visions getting blurred 

[chorus:]

I
know i'll make it no more racing
time to take a breath (breath)
hold it till im coughing all the problems
out my chest

although it takes some time 
to slowly tangle up the nest 
I know it will be worth it 
once it comes time to rest

[Verse 2:]

its time to set cruise
sit back and just let do
the pay cuts ain't enough 
to bankrupt the whole crew

stay up to hit snooze
layups to get two
but a ray gun ain't enough 
to take down this young brute

we fight to break through
make up to make due
or cover up cause all we needs a
pay stub to make proof

fuck ladders 
we take chutes
get low or get up move
spilling thoughts on a page
advancing to shaking rooms

pen and paper no eraser
and no time to be mistaken
the beast in me's unleashed
when there is shit up for the taking

I'm done raising my hand when there is 
shit i should be saying 
its time to pick em out, sit em down
 and scream it in their faces

used to see me as a child
now they're seeing me adjacent 
patience payed off now i see why ya'll
are nervous steady pacing

play the game just hope the payment can keep up
with what you're spending 
lay the concrete but remember to stay off 
when it is setting 

[Chorus:]

I
know i'll make it no more racing
time to take a breath (breath)
hold it till im coughing all the problems
out my chest

although it takes some time 
to slowly tangle up the nest 
I know it will be worth it 
once it comes time to rest

[Verse 3:]

i'm really giving it my all
hoping to prevent a fall
popping the clutch with no gas
and i still can't get it to stall

check the gears, coming this next year
i'll be hopefully getting some checks cleared
cause eight dollars an hour
can barely cover solo rent here

i've been sent here with a message
hope to help you while you're stressing
turning faults into lessons 
to lift out of this recession

keep count, of every blessing
speak out, when they start testing
the speed route, is where i'm heading
like 3 2 1, are you ready?

I'm
running and jogging and looking in different directions trying to
find my place
looking for something that i'll never find but i'm diligent i'm gonna
win this race

win this race, win this race
find my place, find my place
win this, win this, find my find my
STOP
look me in the face

looking for something in nothing is what we call judging a book by the surface 
and not looking into the pages to further your search as to figure out why it is dirty

life is a novel with some hidden chapters but some people take what is written for granted
we'll never be sure what has actually happened 
be careful you don't know whose lap you will land in

[Chorus:]

I
know i'll make it no more racing
time to take a breath (breath)
hold it till im coughing all the problems
out my chest

although it takes some time 
to slowly tangle up the nest 
I know it will be worth it 
once it comes time to rest

Lyrics:

Got these Labels Coming for me
I'm 22 year old Kobe
I Just hop up on the beat and they're like
"Run that shit Jacobi"

yeah we run it, dumb it down
I'd Rather not, i fit the sound
Keep it hot and thought provoking 
Philosophically profound

sipping coffee til I'm twitching
switching topics, only mission is
hit that top hot 100 spot 
before they catch me slipping

insulation's necessary 
where I'm from the winter's frigid 
that is......
until you meet the women

sinking fast within my habits
systematic repetition 
sit my ass inside my head
that's symptomatic recognition

trapped without an exit
no direction no division
til i'm popping off the top
unleashing everything envisioned

place my divot in our history 
we're living singularly 
born up in this chaotic mess
to seek out solidarity 

apparently, 
these will be the years that i'll be cherishing
so if you listening
do me a favor help me sing this shit

[Chorus:]

Dipping fast skipping class
Imma pass on that ass, huh?
hop up in the whip 
I'm going fast til i crash, huh?

load another clip and let it blast
blow em back, hold me back
wont relax, throwing bows
until i crack jaws, 

ask ya'll
who's that new young rapper y'all be feeling
turning heroes into villains 
soon as i step in the building

they evacuate 
you have to show respect to he who killing
spilling lyrics til they hear it (til they hear it)
lord willing

Pop another bottle 
truth is just too hard to swallow
you can catch me at the bar
ordering shots and shooting hollows

go back and recruit my thoughts
then pack em up i leave tomorrow
so just pour me up another
til i'm drowning all these sorrows

borrow all the time allotted 
shit we plotting on the low
outline so many bodies 
that my chalk is getting low

think that his is just a hobby
til my fuse hits and i blow
i had to choose this don't confuse it
throw the deuces gotta go

I'm on the road until the sun up
walk in this bitch like "What up"
and my crew will never run up
shit we cruising off of dumb luck

on the come up, come and get it
ringing bells like dinner's ready
kiss and tell i wish you well
if you stuck wishing on a penny

we just flip that shit to dollars
heads or tails i'll let you call it
while you wait for it to land 
I'mma be snatching up your wallet

wall to wall we pack the building
had to bring the fucking ruckus 
thinking you're so far above me 
til i see you, and you duck us

[Chorus:]

Dipping fast skipping class
Imma pass on that ass, huh?
hop up in the whip 
I'm going fast til i crash, huh?

load another clip and let it blast
blow em back, hold me back
wont relax, throwing bows
until i crack jaws, 

ask ya'll
who's that new young rapper y'all be feeling
turning heroes into villains 
soon as i step in the building

they evacuate 
you have to show respect to he who killing
spilling lyrics til they hear it (til they hear it)
lord willing

[Chorus]:
Bitch let it bounce like that
And we burn it by the ounce, fuck grams
You can bet I double count my cash
The amount don't match imma hit you with the
(Blah um blau?)

Bitch let it bounce like that
And we burn it by the ounce, fuck grams
Word of mouth got your boy going plat 
Now I'm 'bout to take this face around the motherfuckin map
The name Jack and I'm bringing in the flavor
little bit of wax time to turn it into vapor 
rolling with those rubber banded stacks of the paper
I'm on my fucking grind no skateboard, it don't 
take more than a corkscrew to make me pop off
hit the stage and watch as every single person's job drops 
sorry hotshot hotbox nonstop but, if you try to box me in I'll rip the fucking locks off 
Molotov because I'm blowing up 
astronaut because I'm going up 
half a dot of that acid drop got
your man in the back strait throwin up
We go nuts and then we go ham
all these other rappers toast Now they're feeling my jams
broken leg can't stand me act like a fan 
while their girlfriend falls straight into my hand, I'm 
intergalactic, king of the static 
never have To sleep because I stay going manic 
avid to conquer the atlas 
I'm oddly attracted to cars that go fast 
any obstacle smashing stay on the tracks and he beat that you play me lay down a track any beef that you start bitch become a target hard with the bars til my heart lies flat 
[Chorus]
You already know about J.R.
Youngin in the game, but I rape bars
Stay far away from haters, off the radars
Comin with that bullshit, bet I'm gonna take charge
And we play hard, but shit that's a given 
You ain't really got a choice when you work for a Livin 
You ain't really gotta voice if you purr like a kitten
Treat this shit like a toy, you're going to get burned in the kitchen
I earn what I'm gettin, but that's how I've always done it
Frontin like you're trying to buy a bag that's out the budget 
I'm the type to just say fuck it so you know when I kick the bucket 
Imma leave every single thing up on that list over and done with
But fuck that I ain't don't yet someone turn the beat up
All the dudes in the place raise a hand
But the women imma need to put their feet up
Lookin for a D-cup just to lead on
Til she's eating right out of my palm
Just so I can listen to her beg for me to stay
Treat her like a kit-kat, break that shit off
Already know that I'm an asshole, find a new come back
Stick and move quicker than a motherfuckin thumb tack
And it seems like every single week she finds a new reason to leave, but it don't take more than a day for her to come back 
So I tell her
[Chorus]
Even though I got this right
Please don't get me wrong, I'm
Not trying to be another motherfucker
they forget when my name is gone
I make this song just to get that rack
Flip that into three more tracks, then
Hit em with my plan of attack
Dropping bombs, Iraq
Every spot on the map
Now they're coming to the front
They were standing in the back
Didn't know a single thing 
About this kid named jack, Payed no mind til I grabbed this mic 
Made the whole room shake before I twisted the cap
we poppin off
It don't matter the cost
Built me a team, can't imagine a loss
Leave, every single person in the pace speechless 
Cause they scream til they can't even talk
Motherfucker I'm next and I know that now
Staring at Goliath, and I won't back down
Nobody beside us cause they can't compete
And they can't feel my reach if I'm too far out
Yeah right, I'm a clown you've ever met one
Whole town waiting on the next pun 
Here to have fun, taking shots no gun 
Try to walk in my shoes I'm like fuck it let's run
Always on the move I don't take no time
Came in the game just to take what's mine
Made me a lane, gotta stay in the lines 
Cause I'm headed to the fame Paying fortune no mind
I don't force no rhymes i just let em fall out
King of Midas must have touched my mouth, cause 
Every single bar that i spit turns gold the 
Second that I let it fall out so I tell a bitch
Bounce bounce bounce bounce
