First off,
When I say I don't usually do this sort of thing...
Believe me it's true.
You can ask me who the last woman I approached this month is if you have to...
But believe me it's you
Now I'm not one to force myself on a woman that catches my eye...
So here's what I'm gonna do
Pass your phone a sec
Here's my number typed in
Give me a shout if you want, it's on you
If you do decide to dial me in though, please think the following through...
...
I never wanna see you bow to the pressure
Can we just do us? I think that's better
I can see in your eyes, you're far too clever
Forget the guidelines, can we just live?
Can we just be? Just for a bit?
I really don't care who wants to chat shit
I just wanna see if you and I can fit
See, at this or any stage
We don't need third parties...
We're the ones who'll decide if we'll become us...yeah?
So if your friends wanna cuss
Go ahead and let 'em, you ain't gotta fuss
I can barely hear the chattering, trust
I'm calm so if you're calm that's enough
You get me? I don't wanna spend time
With anyone who's overly hung up on irrelevant stuff
Life's too short...
I wanna live it up...
And from you're consumed by your outward image?
...
I'm definitely not gonna fall in love
...
...
I never wanna see you bow to the pressure
Can we just do us? I think that's better
I can see in your eyes, you're far too clever
Forget the guidelines, can we just live?
Can we just be? Just for a bit?
I really don't care who wants to chat shit
I just wanna see if you and I can fit
...
I never wanna see you bow to the talkers
Can we just do us? It's more important
If we're to be, we must ignore 'em
Forget the guidelines, what do they mean?
All that there's best left to the teens
So many talk when they have not seen!..
It's not about them, it's about we
To be honest?
I'm saying all this but really
...
I don't think I have to spell it out
I get the feeling you're not misled like that
Even though obviously at this point
I don't fully know what you're about...
I will say this though -
I like the first impression you've given
Let's see whether our thoughts are in rhythm
But do proceed with ease though please
I don't wanna see no emotional prison
Yeah we can flirt with danger like Wigan*
But I don't want any silly scenes or stress
Let's see if we can be a team instead
Just gimme you, I don't need no rep!

I never wanna see you bow to the pressure
Can we just do us? I think that's better
I can see in your eyes, you're far too clever
Forget the guidelines, can we just live?
Can we just be? Just for a bit?
I really don't care who wants to chat shit
I just wanna see if you and I can fit

You're never gonna see me bow to the talkers
We can just do us, it's more important
And I agree, we must ignore 'em
Forget the guidelines, what do they mean?
Let's leave that stuff to the teens
So many talk when they have not seen!..
It's not about them, it's about we

I'm a big, big fan of this record! I love the rawness, I love the diversity of the sound and the subject matter, I love the messages conveyed, and overall these are 10 tracks I thoroughly enjoyed. Kwam MC
Jake is a massively talented producer, his sound is very dynamic and crisp, and I'm VERY much looking forward to working with him in the not-too-distant future, when I sort myself the F out. Kwam MC
If you're a fan of Rocks, you're a fan of yourself. Always showcasing an attention to detail of sickening depths. From titles, to artwork, to lyrics, there are layers to unwrap and rabbit holes to venture down. The mangaka of music. A must get! Moteleola
