“Forgot About Jack”

music by MC Lars and Jim Greer
lyrics by MC Lars

VERSE 1:

Here’s the story of a dude named Jack Kerouac
who hit the road ‘cause he was never coming back
to write an epic book and see the country
with a very close friend named Neal Cassady
they were lovers but we didn’t know until much later
‘cause America then was full of homophobic haters
it was all about the journey and spontaneous prose
at the Six Gallery he heard Ginsberg flow
‘cause Jack went hard and got turnt up 
passed the port after he filled his cup
A Catholic Buddhist with a giant heart
he wrote everything down the in the service of his art
went to Big Sur, saw a dead otter
thought about his mom his cat and his father
drank himself to death in his Florida home
was laid to rest in Lowell at 47 years old

CHORUS:

Who’s that? Jack, Jack, Jack Kerouac! Who’s that?
(The French Canadian Dharma Bum, who lived his life to the maximum)
Who’s that? Jack, Jack, Jack Kerouac! Who’s that?
(Writing poems down in Mexico, left his mark just to let you know)

VERSE 2:

Tupac Shakur, yes I’m sure, 
was the Kerouac of rap ‘cause they both opened doors
they defined a culture, both died really young
both came West and had hella fun
they went out in the club with with their fans getting hyphy
up in the bar with their crew drinking nightly
prolific and brilliant and real and alive
made poetry mainstream and changed people’s lives
East Coast to Marin well they both made the trek
the Thug Life purveyors who always caught wreck
poets who loved and supported their moms
and when they were focused their words were the bomb
maligned by the press for their derelict ways
the gangster aesthetic, a sideways beret 
the posthumous gifts of two iconoclasts
RIP Tupac and RIP Jack


CHORUS:

Who’s that? Jack, Jack, Jack Kerouac! Who’s that?
(No commitments, feeling free, up all night writing constantly)
Who’s that? Jack, Jack, Jack Kerouac! Who’s that?
(Literary iconoclast, who grabbed the moment and made it last)

Who’s that? Jack, Jack, Jack Kerouac! Who’s that?
(A Lonesome Traveller, On the Road, writing prose about the life he chose)
Who’s that? Jack, Jack, Jack Kerouac! Who’s that?
(Stacks of paper, piling up, shot of whiskey up in his cup)



VERSE 3:

And I’m talking about the Beats 
not the ones you’re hearing on Ableton
‘cause the whole hip-hop generation
really could not have been enabled son
to express a postmodern view point 
form the streets to the stage to the stadium
without Burroughs or Ginsberg or Kerouac 
cause antiquated norms they were changing them
with art and music and poetry and prose
but counterculture then was a big no no
cause Cold War America was all about fear 
conformity and status, ’57 was the year
when On the Road changed the game
then Howl and Naked Lunch set the world aflame
it would never be the same as you already know
Kerouac opened doors with that beatnik flow


CHORUS:

Who’s that? Jack, Jack, Jack Kerouac! Who’s that?
(World renowned for his honest words, shouted loud 'til his voice was heard)
Who’s that? Jack, Jack, Jack Kerouac! Who’s that?
(Defined a movement and paved the way, so MCs like me could take the stage)

Who’s that? Jack, Jack, Jack Kerouac! Who’s that?
(Bad reviews all in his face, but no one else could ever take his place)
Who’s that? Jack, Jack, Jack Kerouac! Who’s that?
(A Roman candle in the dark, who exploded like a spider across the stars)
 OUTRO:

Nowadays everybody want,to tweet like they got something to say
But nothing comes out when they move their thumbs, they just let their fingers run
And bloggers wanna act like they forgot about Jack  (x4)

Who’s that? Jack, Jack, Jack Kerouac! Who’s that?  (x2)

Who’s that?

Forgot About Jack

What's Your Fantasy

MC Lars - Gospel Of Hip - Hop Feat. KRS - One (Eugeen Remix)

From Ultraklystron's New LP, Null Signifier, comes an extended mix featuring the legendary MC Lars(https://soundcloud.com/mc-lars)!

v1. (MC Lars)
Ball like I'm Spaceman, spaceman, spaceman, ball like I’m spaceman spiff
Lost in the clouds don’t think I’m allowed to lay it on the line like this
Try to build my YouTube followers up but I’m always stuck around 8k
Spent seven thousand dollars on that Dragon Blood vid but did it blow up?  no way NO WAY
I’m 33 now see my numbers slip watch those iTunes checks get small
Used to be a name some people knew now they don’t know me at all
Dank memes on the scene, what I mean is the dream to be big on the net won’t last
Cause they click and they stream and close and they sleep and pain hits your heart so fast
Everyone’s got a mixtape, soundcloud, YouTube page with a million songs
Bumping SIMPSON WAVE watching DAT BOI roll on the unicycle on and on AND ON AND
Just want to make my parents proud one day, but honestly I’m just getting by
Watch my friends having kids getting PhDs, while I’m playing dark clubs every night
But I know that the art and the heart and my voice that I put in this work will last
I may have had more heat when I first came out but I’m still writing rhymes in the trap
They got Garlic Bread making people mad mad, homie this is  2016 
So I’ll sit with my pad and that Klystron beat keep on killing it and do my thing  chyea



ch. (Ultraklystron)
Do I want figures or fendi
No wait no; I want it all
Veruca Salt-style: I want it all

Don't let your offer offend me
No, I won't return your call
Block you, so you can't return your call

respect me or lose me
have fun finding a new me

if you're only do you
I'm only gonna do me

I'm only gonna do me (x3)
have fun finding a new me

v2. (Ultraklystron)
I'm comfortably uncomfortable
Emotionally unpunkable
Only tragedies can surprise
But can they make me feel inside?

Keep my timing / like it's DDR
Get attention / such a needy star

But it's a long climb / at wrong time
Meta cliches / are a strong sign

I've been a narcissist / since I started this
In my childhood / in apartments kid

Overwrought thoughts / all that I've got
But no 8-mile / more than one shot

I wanna love life / like a love live
Gotta a best girl / not a rough life

And it's all mint / not a scuff life
So consistent / like it's one size

And though fits it me / it's unfitting
Never stayed still / so I'm not sitting

Perseverance means / I'm not quitting
The only way is up / I'm uplifting

Buckle up, because it's lift off
It's the real thing, and not a rip off

And it's going down, without a tip off
It's a wild ride, and we can't get off

It's the struggle dreams, mixed with subtle memes
Mixmaster flow here to muddle themes

I sell flow-vacaine; no rebuttal stings
Sell accessories; I stay hustling.

v3. (Ultraklystron)
Divergent in emergencies
Insurgent running hurriedly
Only tragedies can surprise
But they get my soul to try

I could drop out / choose a opt out
Start a lock out / sell a stock out

Rather walk tall / than to stop now
May not block falls /but I'll not pout

Though I could shout / put em on blast
Get my devout / to act real rash

Maybe black ball / put on em last
But attacks stall / and the feels pass

Moving so fast / like a new lotus
Staying on focus / put em on notice

Setting precedent / I don't mean POTUS
More a dissident / never once soldiers

Dropping references / sans semiotics
If you're ignorant / made you feel neurotic

From the grave bars / flow is necrotic
And it makes stars / so it blows atomic

Gotta muscle up; you better get swole
As the only way that you won't get told

Is to end my run, you better be bold
Turn the lights out like a choke hold

I still bounce back like cockroaches
Cause I've seen worse, still here gloating

Made a troy ounce from a penny wait
See, my critics can't acclimate

True Player for Real (featuring "Weird Al" Yankovic and Wheatus)

Don't fret precious I'm here, step away from the window
Go back to sleep
Safe from pain and truth and choice and other poison devils,
See, they don't give a fuck about you, like I do.

Count the bodies like sheep
Count the bodies like sheep

Counting bodies like sheep
To the rhythm of the war drums

Count the bodies like sheep

Go back to sleep
Go back to sleep

Counting bodies like sheep
To the rhythm of the war drums

Go back to sleep
Go back to sleep

Counting bodies like sheep
To the rhythm of the war drums

Go back to sleep
Go back to sleep

Counting bodies like sheep

Go back to sleep
Go to sleep [x14]
Go back to sleep
Go back to sleep
Go back to sleep

Counting bodies like sheep

Go back to sleep
Go back to sleep

Counting bodies like sheep

Go back to sleep
Go back to sleep

Counting bodies like sheep
To the rhythm of the war drums

Go back to sleep
Go back to sleep

Counting bodies like sheep
To the rhythm of the war drums

Go back to sleep
Go back to sleep

Counting bodies like sheep
To the rhythm of the war drums [x2]

I’ll be the one to protect you from your enemies and all your demons
I'll be the one to protect you from a will to survive and a voice of reason
I'll be the one to protect you from your enemies and your choices son
They're one in the same, I must isolate you…
Isolate and save you from yourself …
