If I Had Things (My Way)

[Intro - Jack Rootes]

"Yeah. This song is for the people, who are stressed out and tired of life. Yeah!"

[Verse 1 - Jack Rootes]

I'm a young man, looking for a purpose
Wanting to make ripples on life's surface
Thought my life by this point, would be awesome
Instead I find myself constantly dying of boredom
Only working two days a week
Right now, I swear my future's lookin' way bleak
I need to change my ways, something I must face
Get myself out in the world, go out and find my place

But even then, I don't know where to start
I'm just an introvert with a stone heart
Deep down, I'm just hoping I get a little more love
Feel myself more than when I'm on PornHub
'Cause that's the only time relief comes
Retreating to my dreams once my jobs are free and done
I wish that all my problems could just turn distant
If I had things my way, things would be different

[Hook - Jack Rootes]

If I had things my way, I'd have leagions of fans that would listen to the things I say
If the world revolved 'round me, my family would have no fears or stresses every day
If I could get what I want, I'd have the things I've always wanted and all my dreams I finally live
And if I ruled the world, I'd make sure everyone I love has the best luxeries that life can give

[Verse 2 - Jack Rootes]

Don't even get me started on bills and morgages
Especially when my patience has occasional shortages!
I'm 25 and even I don't fully understand
How they work, when I feel I should as a man
Mood cloudy like UK weather
Hope when my future comes, it'll be better
Don't really like my work, wish that I could leave
But nowadays, it's not often you find a job with ease!

Every night, I'm sleeping in this double bed alone
Spending half of my 20's, in my parents' home!
Wish I could leave this place, enter the world and grow
But since last year, life has become so damn slow!
So, now I'm just killing time, making music
Hoping deep down that I blow up and I can use it
To keep a good life, maybe I'd glamourize
But 'till that day comes, I'll lie back and fantasise

[Hook - Jack Rootes]

[Verse 3 - JC Hipster]

Started off thinking bout engines
Hope they’d get it clear hoping they’d get the message
But my life is harder even when I’m stressing
Can’t see it happening they just don’t get it
Torn up in hopes when I get low, even if so
Many bitches tryna fake up even high hopes
The amount of attitude is way to get soul
Next thing was sport as my next go

Even if I wanted to get big biceps
Do many sets til it fucks up my chest
No rest, can change my very best, but it’s all messed
That I didn’t even get the chance yet
Got a full time in 2017, still 18
Did catering as a mainstream
Listening to tunes was still raving, earn money for the taking
The whole future's waiting!

[Hook - Jack Rootes]
