Track Name: Lose Control
Go get her!

Guys you know I’m shy…
I not quite sure that I’m her type

Go get her!

She says she don’t like rappers
And I spend my life on the mic

Got get her!

I guess she did say I could come over when I like

Go get her!

Fine maybe you guys are right
But her boyfriends a dick and I don’t want to fight

Go get him!

I think we should all calm down, don’t want to get anyone harmed or sound the alarm
But why she gotta go out with a guy like that,
Big muscles, money and a car, but no flow, no rap
Check the tape, roll it back, there it is, the part just before they mack
(He) gives her the necklace, man is this chick whack
Letting herself bought like crack

GOLDIGGER!
I figured.
I think that I might lose control
I think that I might lose control


I’m beginning to lose interest
Matter of fact I already lost it
So you can go be like Oliver and pick pockets
And when you finally stop it
It will be too late
Exhausted your options

Sorry to be this hard but it’s the truth
But it’s the truth
Never gonna trick me into
Buying you shoes
By showing your ahhh
Or saying I love you
Game over, you loose.

Cause she’s a b with an itch and I’m starting to twitch and I think that I might lose control, sorry babe looks like lost me, take no sugars your coffee, cause you could die if you get chubby, they’ll be no man with lots of money
Track Name: Superstars
Superstars, could I be one
I think I might, not quite the sun
Everyone is walking, I just wanna run
Try to be the better man
Choose right not wrong
But where does it end and when is done,
Or have I not understood
I thought could earn my wings to fly
When all I need to do is shine

Thank you Tom, thank you James
For your superstar names
They gave me everything I needed
To make the change
Needed backup, then Ross came
Do you now know what I’m saying?
We are all the same, stars shinning bright
Through the clouds and rain
Every year
Night and day

The solar system is on crack
At it feels like that
Looking forward, looking back
Never living where you’re at
This is the way, we’re programmed to be
Don’t believe the lies please
Turn off the TV screen,
Promoted low self-esteem
Sponsored by Nivea facial cream

Just let it, go
No need to perfect it, no
If you feeling rejected throw,
Throw them to the ground and take the first flight to Pluto
I’ve heard it is the place to be, sounds just right
For big names like you and me
Curious to see what it’s like up there,
Infinity’s the limited, when you positively self-aware
So it’s time, to button up, get ready, get ready to leave
5 4 3 2 1 and breathe

(The revolution is when?)
The revolution is now.
And somehow
Through ability lyrically
Linguistic agility
It became clear to see
That this is it for me
In this galaxy eternally
So I pray with expectancy
For capability through mobility
Possibility will burn
Probability will rise from the flames to discern
Amber, red or green, then a light as never seen
Before fills darkened corridors
Through the entirety of this metaphor
Track Name: Major Tom
Floating through the air like a rocket-ship to mars
See the shining stars, funky lights,
Neon heights, burning like the sun
Before time begun what was it like
Sunset to sunrise
Day and night I toss and turn to try and free my mind

But it’s…

Held down by the chains to the ground
They will never let it free, got to hit jailbreak
Immediately, it’s time to leave, sisters and brothers
The window is open so jump now

Floating through the air like a rocket-ship to mars
See the shining stars, funky lights,
Neon heights, burning like the sun

Like so many great thoughts
It is trapped and confined
But if perception is reality
Than I can cross those lines
Looking back in time
All Da Vinci wanted to do was fly
I’m a dreamer not the only one,
Now we use his designs

So…

Jump high and you might get a view
Forget about what you’re not supposed to do
And let the stars shine through
Next up might be you...Tom!

Chorus

Major Tom to ground control,
Message from outer space
Major Tom to ground control
Here we go….
Ring Ring Ring it’s a call from outer space
Pick up the phone bring it to your face
Super news for super hero the world is at stake
Try to puzzle it out, riddle this, riddle that
‘til your head aches
You walk away
And then the whole earth shakes

The whole earth shakes!

No choice but to take control
Put the cape on you are gold
Always believe in yourself
You’re indestructible
You can, run the race and always win
You can, tear down the wall thick or thin
You can do anything you want, anything you want
Cause the world is yours
The world is yours
The world is yours!
