[Verse One] Hold the front page Mister newspaper editor/ Maxx is in the building about to cause a mass hysteria/ Saturday night fever, I’m a high achiever/ Put my face on anything them kids’ll buy the t-shirt/ I make women chatterbox so much until their teeth hurt/ Ask em about their day I know they’ll mention me first/ I got a big head like Megamind, 8 bars and you’re thinking/ Someone get him signed, A&R’s get in line/ It’s time for action, I guarantee your satisfaction/ I got them killer moves like Michael Jackson/ Cos I’m a thriller not a sinner in my raps you won’t find any filler/ I’m a winner all you losers you should keep your chin up/ I’ll make it so, that everybody knows/ That Maxx has bought some food for your soul, so there you go/ The greatest of all time, maybe there’s still a chance/ I ain’t walked on water yet but I can make a river dance/ [Chorus] Get this rockin’ from the floor to the ceiling/ Making it loud and y’all gonna feel it/ (If you love me) put your hands up, (hate me) put your hands down/ I ain’t that bothered just know I’m the man now/ Gonna write songs you’re forced to believe in/ Research, study, find the source of the meaning/ (If you love me) put your hands up, (hate me) put your hands down/ I ain’t that bothered just know I’m the man now/ [Verse Two] The crime scene looks like I murdered everybody/ A sight so sick your stomach’s churning very dodgy/ The download’s free so please burn some extra copies/ That girl looks sad her network connection’s dropping/ I’m a beast with a beauty on my arm, and a massive queue(Q) like Suzy/ And I’m charmed, got the music in my heart/ My life is a blockbuster, a movie I’m the star/ No career for you while I’m here, move to Uzbekistan/ In six minutes I spit quickly the illest of medleys/ Even if you catch amnesia still you won’t forget me/ I’m unforgettable, stuck in your head like your brain/ You try and do impressions of me like Michael Caine/ I’ll make it so, that everybody knows/ That Maxx has got a rocket I’m about to let it blow/ I win in places where all you little boys fail/ And I got Halle Berry filling up my voicemail/ [Chorus] [Verse Three] This is a hard job for some for me its more like child's play/ The kind of thing I do at 6 while lounging on a Friday/ I’m create a huge demand for anything that I make/ Got kids robbing HMV and start a massive crime wave/ Get your hair messed up your weave in a right state/ I bet you’ll leave tonight feeling like your life’s changed/ I might not find fame I’ll definitely I’ll die great/ Wait, I just got a text message its from Clive Da.../ ...vis I reminisce when writing 4 lines took five days/ 12 I thought I was the bomb but really I was quite lame/ Now I’m on the right page, no chance that I might fade/ So buff and so tough I’m probably turning guys gay/ Like Sir Alex Ferguson I use them mind games/ I always do it my way, and never what the sign says/ This is a dice game, so we have got some high stakes/ And you should enjoy your life and that is my advice mate/ [Chorus]

[Verse One] You are now listening to a regal MC/ And you’re watching as I rock with unbelievable ease/ I’m confessing that I’m blessing many people indeed/ Got more tricks hidden up my sleeve than Evil Kenevil/ Yes so, guess so, now you’re online I better shine from the get go/ Men know, men know, my stock price on the rise like petrol/ Forget about everybody else’s music focus on mine cos I said so/ Get on board like the millions of people everyday that ride on the metro/ Sent demos to record labels at a young age I was shamed when they said no/ Another young aimless and nameless non-famous face from the ghetto/ 18 complaining them haters hating not playing and I went home/ Wanna make that music that’s great and won’t fade someday never retro/ You’re looking at the future, what’s gone you gotta let go, let your friends know/ These girls, they be like “wow, hear what he just said that boys mental”/ You gotta see, no stopping me when you see me picking up a pencil/ Go hard like a two-footed tackle make your whole body spasm I ain’t ever been gentle/ Got everything you need like Tesco, style’s mint and I’m fresh like mentos/ Go ahead debate if I got the best flow, so cold that I leave you with a red nose/ I ain’t gonna peak too soon on Youtube wanna get more views than rentals/ Guarantee that you’re buzzing at my next show, pull it out the bag say hey presto/ [Chorus] People say Maxx you don’t know what you do to me/ Hit em with exclusives daily maybe two or three/ Anything and everything I say is true indeed/ Coming up with diamonds in my pocket like a jewel thief/ Rhyme steady rhyme quick or I can rhyme slow/ You be talking about what you witnessed on the ride home/ I’m making more than just songs now I’m making movies/ I’m making more than just songs now I’m making movies/ [Verse Two] Ladies and gents and juniors, pause for a second let me introduce ya/ To DJ Agent M he's a super trooper uber producer/ Giving u that musical fix with a bag of tricks he'll eclipse you like a lunar/ While I hit all of you for six when I spit recognise I’m slicker than Rick the ruler/ Can't come any sooner for me and Steve Lynch to be making some moolah/ Next time we create music we'll be cruising in Jet Ski's in Aruba/ I'll be there with a girl called Tallulah passing me ice cold drinks from a cooler/ While I create more gems than a jeweller then have a day off like Ferris Bueller/ I am a big fish in a small pond not a small fish in a pond that’s tuna/ Wanna get [somewhere, someday] got no time for hanging with Mr Cooper/ Got dreams like Martin Luther, got good health don’t need BUPA/ I’m relevant and so intelligent when you’re with me you ain’t dealing with a dufus/ Go ahead do your thing start rumours; I rock Japanese swords like Uma/ Thurman in Kill Bill, I still will burn your mouth like on a bhuna/ I would not say I’m perfect, but I don’t ever make bloopers/ Now you heard this, go to the church fall to your knees then sing hallelujah/ [Verse Three] I stop talking about people's mum's, I guess that means I'm a grown up/ I'm about to blow up; my name on your lips just like a roll up/ I ain't even gotta rhyme cos they just smile when I show up/ Focused not hopeless and you know this I’m so sick y'all wanna throw up/ People been questioning me, asking me what's the hold up/ So many years, so many tears, trying to get a deal, had no luck/ I took it personally like they must really think my flow sucks/ But they ain't get a chance to read the gems within my notebooks/ And if they gave me thirty seconds they would love me so much/ Well I ain't got time for tears, gonna try part the seas like Moses/ I'm ready for my close up, I’m not feeling down I don't picking up/ I’m busy trying to make you feel live, getting your hands up high like a stick em up/ So many gems I’ve buried in the ground, think it’s high time I dig em up/ Maybe I’ll buy a tour bus; hmmm I think we'll need a bigger bus/ Jump in then close the door, you can hope for more, gonna drive real quick/ Like we broke the law, hopping over walls, now at you know the score, cos I told ya all hey!/ [Chorus]

[Verse One] Remember when we first time we met, I was thinking what a beautiful girl/ Like you don’t fully understand, what you do to my world/ I had to put my shades on cos you were always shining/ And you weren’t even trying, you sparkle like a diamond/ You’re so expensive; risk my life for you jump in front of cars/ To save your life and end up in intensive (care)/ Our future’s brighter than them orange ads, babygirl I got it bad/ Text message from you says you wanna chat/ But now we’ve met I see it in your eyes that something’s wrong/ You sit me down and you’re saying that the love is gone/ You say “its not you, its me”/ In 20 years it’s always never been me, I gotta disagree/ Should’ve known we’d split eventually/ You and my other ex have broke my heart consecutively/ You just wrecked my year, how do you expect me to feel/ Cos if time is money you don’t wanna spend it with me, you've ended with me/ Damn... Jenny why you leaving me/ Tell me why you’re leaving me/ Jenny why you leaving me/ Tell me what I did wrong and I’ll change just be real with me/ (please stay) Jenny why you leaving me/ (stay with me) Tell me why you’re leaving me/ (please stay with me) Jenny why you leaving me/ Yesterday we’re laughing now today you ain’t feeling me/ (please stay)/ [Verse Two] Aw, how could you do this Jenny? I gave you everything/ I treat you like a princess, I would’ve made you queen/ I heard you’re strutting around town like you don’t even care/ Seems like you ain’t got a heart I wonder if its even there/ So go and jump off a bridge, why should I care about you/ I’m quite excited by the thought of living life without you/ So don’t ever, ever call me again/ Don’t even call me a friend, cos I’ll be awful as hell, we’re through/ I shouldn’t have left that phone message that’s the liquor talking/ You know what I’m like, I don’t even drink that often/ I’ve just woken up, and I think its morning/ And I think I’m mourning, catch me quick I’m falling/ You completely cut me off, that’s a bit appauling/ I thought we had a future, seems like we missed our calling/ I miss the love I once had like a little orphan/ I know its dead, cos there are signs of rigor mortis/ [Verse Three] How could we doubt each other, can’t live without each other/ I know we had so many good times and now we suffer/ Heavy rain forecast in July, a cloudy summer/ I’m sorry if I made you feel like a lousy lover/ You were extra special, life without you is garbage/ Today felt like the hardest, it’s ended how I started/ I’m sitting in the pub by myself, drinking Bud by myself/ Hate my own reflection I ain’t even loved by myself/ It all deteriorates/ While I bet you’re somewhere in a superior state/ Bet you ain’t bothered like that chick off of Catherine Tate/ Feel like I ain’t seen you in ages like Madeline’s face/ Then I seen you back on Facebook looking perfect as ever/ Maybe you’re crying on the inside, we’re hurting together/ But that remains to be seen like the future undiscovered/ Deep down I feel we’re still good for one another/ Maybe you got scared, that I can understand/ Give me another chance, I’ll be a better man/ If you wanna talk then meet me at the corner/ Of the café where we first met, but only if you want to/ [Outro] Stay with me, please stay me Please stay [Repeat] Stay with me [repeat to end]

[Verse] The promise of all that’s yet to happen/ What when and where a season full of question asking/ Telling God your schemes honestly you’ll get Him laughing/ Maybe I was wrong to think that I could make it rapping/ Been out the club for so long I hope they let me back in/ Give me a chance and hear my plans before you send me packing/ Performing on these stages hope I get a blessed reaction/ I might just should rip my shirt off so they can sense my passion/ Now your boys are listening, your girlfriends are glancing/ They wanna get close, like Delilah next to Samson/ I'm an artist I can't get you with my sexy dancing/ But I might just sell enough records to buy a extra mansion/ At events with Branson, LA then the Hamptons/ The future’s looking good and so am I yes I’m handsome/ But this is all a joke of course its just pretend I'm acting/ I can barely afford to pay my rent before I get that jacket/ Instead we sit in bars, flipping cards, three pints/ Shouting at the football on the screen shooting the breeze like/ I just want a sweet wife, sexy on the beach type/ Bill of course wants a Porsche lift up doors in clean white/ Talking as if we've been signed, shining like a street light/ Acting like we're superstars and keep the circle real tight/ Honestly it seems like a lot of talk and a lack of movement/ Even doing something different is a vast improvement/ So then have to do this yes for the sake of my kids/ People been taking the mick I'm shamed of the place that I'm in/ Doubting myself in a way guess I’m naming my sins/ I turn to writing songs a case of my favourite things/ Does something to my soul I pray for the change that it brings/ Nobody cares if my days become famous and bling/ I guess I’m just another name I ain't claim to be king/ Tell me now if your emotions stay just the same when I sing/ [Chorus] I wonder where we go from here/ Situation's bad trying not to show my fear/ Pillow soaked in the aftermath of flowing tears/ Father please speak to me let me know your near/ Don't feel like my purpose is to walk alone/ Trying to build but my feelings are the cornerstone/ My decisions always lead me down the wrong way/ I sing the blues cos I'm feeling what the songs say/ There's gotta be more to life than survival/ Looking over my shoulder where ever I go/ And it seems like everybody I know/ Is a blind soul they just wanna find home/ Hey, we need something kind of wonderful/ Like the feeling of a kiss from the one you love/ It’s a very long road and we're travelling/ No guarantees that we're ever come back again.../
