LYRICS

Sometimes I wonder if I really grew up
I, had a chance to see the world
At least I think so

Know I've been many places, many loves, lotta faces.
That's just how that cookie crumbles, ooh. Oh.

And I know it's all based on perception.
Young men don't really got their heads in.
It's spinning like a dead chicken dancing.
See the light it's kinda enchanting.

It's true, I'm scared of you.
Love the the challenge but hate the room.
You know more than anyone I wanna fly.
When a bird sings.
A chicken dies.
Hard to be rude when you caged up
What do you do?
Singing "What the cluck?"
Cause when a bird sings.
A chicken dies.

Now we're on Verse two.
Just have to be clear for those in the room.
Cause the friends you have share secrets from you.
So why do you think the man is any different too?

It's all the same, it's worse when your out.
See the teachers, teaching clout.
Hear the preachers, preaching doubt.
Fear the creatures who snip your mouth.

It's true, I'm scared of you.
Love the the challenge but hate the room.
You know more than anyone I wanna fly.
When a bird sings.
A chicken dies.
Hard to be rude when you caged up
What do you do?
Singing "What the cluck?"
Cause when a bird sings.
A chicken dies.

Bird For Prey

LYRICS

Looking how they talk, it’s like they in the city
Woke people, the water they drink, it ain’t pretty
Wanna go real fast, they call me Ricky Bobby
Might be my own water, flowing like my shooty

One man’s talk is another man’s tea, and
Scolding water, it’s another way to bleed, and
A road man tired ’cause he got no speed, and
Got no one unless it’s the police

Looking out at assault, the guy won’t talk
Gold fell out the water, like we all saw
Running on a track, call me Ricky Bobby
And I don’t got the stacks, you know it’s kinda funny

No Katana fade, a man with a chain
Go turn on the water, gotta get out my way
Don’t focus on fear, don’t let go of a drive
Turned left on the road when we should ride

Just turned in the woods, that’s just how I feel
Woke up to sun like it’s my last meal
If you wanna ride, call me Ricky Bobby
It’s a lotta in society; if I gotta, you just shouti

Woe men talk, yea, they just gotta say hey
Cold and hot, I be in my mom’s plate, yea
Cold and tired if I really want pay, yea
Cop in sight when I really wanna date, yea

I got my own tone
I got my own tongue
Wicked or the Wizard, but it’s all gone
I just gotta sell if I wanna feel
Stuck in my own hell, but I wanna heal

If I wanna say, baby, are you good?
Do you feel kidnapped, like you got a hood?
If I gotta entertain so I can get paid
God made water for man, not have money slaves

One more second if I could talk
If I had money, then you know I’d bark
When you’re on top, when you don’t have a song
I don’t really wanna live, wanna live long
One man talking like he know my goals, and
One way top unless I get old
And goal in sight, I’m high to feel free, oh
Goal in sight tonight, I got a goal, yea

Looking how they talk, it’s like they in the city
Woke people, the water they drink, it ain’t pretty
Wanna go real fast, they call me Ricky Bobby
Might be my own water, flowing like my shooty

They call me Ricky Bobby
That just sounded kinda funny
Look, it’s just kinda funny
They call me Ricky Bobby

Ricky Bobby

LYRICS

Sup love, baby, what you wanna talk about? X3
What you wanna?
Wanna talk about?

I fear I imitate, the way, girl, I'm not faking.
Freedom ain't free for the aimless.
Why you look at me you know what I'm saying.

I just gotta do it, real talk, first step, just do it
One chance I get
Like a Warhead
Try not to tug
Gonna ruin it
Until I get
The courage
To fuel my head
I do it
But I got not meds
Im a Warhead
Im about to blow
But I'm dormant
Until I get a...

Pretending that I'm thinking what to be
I got it up on the call, mama don't like my gal
Gonna give another chance to blow my steam
It's just chance for me to
To lose my explosive streak
Cause...

What you talk about? X3
Has you dizzy
What you talk about? X3
My own little kitty
What you talk about? X3
We own the city

I just gotta do it, real talk, first step, just do it.
One chance I get,
Like a Warhead.
Try not to tug,
Gonna ruin it.
Until I get,
The courage
To fuel my head
I do it
But I got not meds
Im a Warhead
Im about to blow
But I'm dormant
Until I get

Wrong and Money
Go like honey
If I'm up at night thinking of you
I'd randevu

I just gotta do it, real talk, first step, just do it
One chance I get
Like a Warhead
Try not to tug
Gonna ruin it
Until I get
The courage
To fuel my head
I do it
But I got not meds
Im a Warhead
Im about to blow
But I'm dormant
Until I get

Freedom ain't free for anyone
It's just goals and dreams
When you were 21

That chance that you make with hands
That you grab cause you got no plans
And now understand

Wish I went off like a warhead
All the things I love are boring
And the time I have is goring
But they even wanna hear my plans

No fee, I see a plan, I'm in another round, I'm loaded like a man and I really got a chance, I hope I got the bans, wanna play in a band but they to busy with the brands

I just gotta do it, real talk, first step, just do it
One chance I get
Like a Warhead
Try not to tug
Gonna ruin it
Until I get
The courage
To fuel my head
I do it
But I got not meds
Im a Warhead
Im about to blow
But I'm dormant
Until I get a...chance

Warhead

LYRICS

I love every moment, I'm with you. . .
And I'm,
Sorry your mad.
When I'm not next to you.
Your stronger than any other woman, I know!
Its hard to love and care and let go!
But just to show,
I love you even more!

Baby you know we can better.
Love it messy but hate breaks the tether!
I can't understand what upset ya?
But please just let me know!
Cause I'm,
Sorry I don't always make plans. . .
We got a lot of time on our hands,
But I don't understand. . .

(Head Empty)

When you're silent. . .
I know the love is violet!
I know the love is hiding!
I did something, you don't like and I,
Can't improve if your not up front. . .
Cause every single day I love,
I love the way you are. . .

I love the way your are!

(Head Empty)

Bro it don't really matter what we say!
Either way were screwed,
I wish I knew what a women wanted!
Cause I don't have a clue. . .

Maybe you just want a moment?

Don't hate me too much. . .

I'm thinking you think I'm hiding?
But I'm really just out of mind and. . .
I barely call my momma.
So please just let me know?

Head Empty

When

When your home to the darkness you don't sin

When

The moment it all goes Black
The moment we all go back home
That moment you feel the last
The moment your falling back home
The falling beings me back
The sinking me make an asshole
The moment when your not back
I fell asleep

I hope that I saw you there.
The Darkness don't don't look so scary
The hope that you'll still come back
The hope that you'll still be back home

I can see love the dream, but hate the meme
Electric brain's took the screen
Now Grass don't look so very green
Ans In dark I see your heart
Beating without any start
Shocked alive back to the home
Pay a hundred hours just to fix a bone
Of a corpse its an artist
Not the worse end but how it started
Bojack for the common course
When your drugged up like another horse
Your ideas leave like steam
In the dark you see your dreams
It don't matter how you charted
You'll wake up from where you started

Goes Black

Don't give up
Keep going strong
You'll get out of this mess
You'll keep moving along

Don't give up
Keep going strong
You'll get out of this mess
You'll keep moving along

The strength within you
The strength you got
The strength you seek
The strength you lost

Was gone
Was over
Was done
Was finished

Don't give up
Keep going strong
You'll get out of this mess
You'll keep moving along

Don't give up
Keep going strong
You'll get out of this mess
You'll keep moving along

Is finally, back
It's you get back
You don't lack
You don't crack

Don't give up
Keep going strong
You'll get out of this mess
You'll keep moving along

Don't give up
Keep going strong
You'll get out of this mess
You'll keep moving along

Don't Give Up!

BETTER
When the world feels better
And when you’re out of luck
I hope that I can be better
Compared, and yet I’m stuck

Hard to feel the dark
When everyone’s better
The hate you share is worse than being better—it’s just letters

To fight the madness in the dark
Is visible by day; oh, where do I start?

Oh, I confess my feelings are hard to put down
When happiness is toxic and it dances all around
Who knows who you truly are? It’s a mystery
And; Yet I think you’re more simple, you’ve got a head, so think

When the time is near
Hope that you find your fears
To feel alive is better
Than any kind of letters

I suppose it’s all the same
I hope you remember my name

When the world feels better
And when you’re out of luck
I hope that I can be better

Better

DARK GOSPEL
Another unholy vision
I don't understand, maybe it's the plan
Maybe it's all their sinning...
The hate, they lie,
Angels here within own mind.

Even if I'm on time,
Ever been way too late?
Cause the rich don't love, and you take their bait and
And you know the way they hate.
All other gods were slaves.
I see the truth, they don't love me.
I'm looking for that you love it.
I'll call it rude, call me mad,
But I believe...

The Dark Gospel x2
Hail to the Dark Gospel.
1. They hide from you, in the;
2. They hide the truth.

Ever been way too late?
Can you let us, show your name?
Ever had a chance to hide?
All the other women wanna feel pain.
I just be in innate,
So I'm never gonna pay my high.

Sound!
Not quite sure that they love it.
Loud!
Looking for that you love it.
How can you leak and remain; how?

The Dark Gospel x2
Hail to the Dark Gospel.
1. They hide from you in the;
2. They hide the truth
For you.

Dark Gospel

I remember walking down that road
I remember I was so alone
Didn't think that I was on my own
But in a way we know how this thing goes

I feel like I lost attention 
I feel like I'm stuck in a dimension 
I got a moment, that I feel in my head
I'll do it all the time, but I'm sleeping in my bed

You know we want the chance to be the same
You know all we wanna do is entertain 
To be someone that we could be
I know its hard to see

Maybe if we had another hope
Maybe one day will know where to go
We love to play and we like easy mode
Not for our love but we gotta let go

I feel like I lost attention 
I feel like I'm stuck in a dimension 
I got a moment, that I feel in my head
I'll do it all the time, but I'm sleeping in my bed

You know we want the chance to be the same
You know all we wanna do is entertain 
To be someone that we could be
I know its hard to see

Hard to see

You know we want the chance to be the same
You know all we wanna do is entertain 
To be someone that we could be
I know its hard to see

Hard to see

You know we want the chance to be the same
You know all we wanna do is entertain 
To be someone that we could be
I know its hard to see
You know we want the chance to be the same
You know all we wanna do is entertain 
To be someone that we could be
I know its hard to see

Lost My Attention

If your uncle looked like Kenny Rogers, Santa Claus, and an almond farmer all rolled into one, singing 1980s synth pop vibes, that would be me.

The almond farmer part is personal because my great uncle worked the Northern California groves when I was a kid in the 80s, and his hard work and humble way of living has always stuck with me. He lived to 95, wore a beat-up old hat, and was a man I looked up to. I treat my songs the way he treated his orchards of almonds, with care, patience, and dedication.

My real father abandoned my family when I was just 3. Thank God I was raised by a loving mother, a devoted grandmother, and a strong older sister who always looked out for me. I lacked the father and grandfather love many kids grow up with, so I looked to my uncles and great uncles for guidance. They are gone now, but their strength and lessons live on in me and in my music.

I chose 1980s synth pop, pop, post punk, with a dash of reggae, blues, and country rock because it makes me feel like a kid again, and this kind of music always inspires me to tell a story. Every track I create is built to carry emotion and memory.

Most people call me Mike or Michael. Some know me as MDRJR here on SoundCloud, or simply Uncle Mike. However you see me, the guy with the white beard, red t shirt, and trucker hat, I hope what you hear feels genuine, creative, and healing. My beard is part of who I am, a way of embracing how we were made, and a reminder to carry myself with authenticity.

I did not get here without scars. I have lived through people taking from me, abandoning me, giving up on me when I had nothing left to give, and taking advantage of my kindness. Those experiences damaged my confidence and left me struggling with self-belief. I was told to conform if I wanted to survive, and for a long time I listened. It took me 51 years to finally decide to believe in myself. Now I write songs to help others believe sooner, to hold on to their worth, and to share kindness in a world that needs daily repair.

I decided to make music more of a movement to heal others rather than chase fame. I am just a normal guy with pain from the past and a strong desire to help others avoid that pain. I grew tired of seeing people lose hope and lose their lives to suicide, and I wanted to do something to help people feel better about themselves and change for the better.

For many years I tried to make it on my own as a guitar player, bass player, and singer, but I never really had a worldwide audience. That all changed in Summer 2024, when I began sharing my songs consistently here on SoundCloud. In just one year, my music has reached listeners around the globe and crossed millions of plays. This journey has shown me that it is never too late to be heard, and that authentic songs connect across every border.

I have been writing songs for over 35 years, and this is my ongoing journey. When I perform live, I want the whole crowd to be my backup singers, because the power of these songs belong to the world. I read every comment, and the ones with real meaning stay with me. Your words matter as much as the music.

I appreciate every real comment from listeners, your words mean as much as the music. But if you’re here just to sell me something, I’m not interested. If you’re here to enjoy the songs, welcome.
Much love to everyone who connects with these songs. Thank you for being here.
