I've been looking forward to the future. I've been waiting on this day for quite a long time and now the time is mine. It's time to shred. Time to play some guitar riffs that will hopefully get stuck in your head. Cause I'm good at what I do and I got the moves so sit back and relax; listen to J Thoubbs. (time to shred) In the past I thought I knew what I wanted, but I was wrong of course. I was wrong to think that things would change. Man, I thought the future would be a little different than this. So why don't you erase my existence? Start it fresh, and insert a new blank disc. Do you have any other CDs in your car cause this J Thoubbs album sucks... What you don't like it? This is how it is now. Now come on, let's break it down.

This is the introduction to the J Thoubbs album of a generation. Bringing you forward in this new time to this 2020 perfect vision that's mine. I've had this planned for a while now. Changing it up while bringing it back to the way I've come to know. You've come along for a fun ride. Now stick with J Thoubbs if you want to go get down tonight. We're gonna switch it up tonight. Welcome to the new generation of the grooves and the music, it's not like you can choose it. Stop trying to control something you can't because you only get one shot here; there's no way to reset what you've done. Why does this music sound so dated immediately? It's almost as if our society encourages it. If there's one thing I know. I know the music has time to grow. And over time, you'll see. I've had this planned for a while now. Changing it up while bringing it back to the way I've come to know. It's not the same!

When the pen touches the paper, my words cut through so easily. My body's weak but my mind is willing to tell a story. If you wanna hear it, well you'll just have to wait and see. Write it down, write it down. I've said it before, but write it down! Write it down, you write it down right now! Write it down before you forget who you are, and what you stand for, and what goals to move toward. When my words come out they don't always sound the way I want them to. Now I'll go, sit down at my desk, refresh these thoughts in my head, all while I'm thinking of you. I took the pen out of my heart and used it to write this song. I wrote it for you, but I know you'll never sing along. (Sick riff bro) You'll never sing along!

I had a feeling you wouldn't see this through. Looking for a reason to bail, you know it's all on you. Well I guess I can't blame you much, cause your heart's made of fire but it's cool to the touch. The feeling lingers on the tip of my fingers. You need a second chance. That's what you might think... that you're not in the wrong. That you've never done anything bad. Nothing to warrant this treatment. I had a feeling you wouldn't see this through. Looking for a reason to bail, you know it's all on you. I had a feeling that you would go away, without a word announced. You never said anything. The feeling lingers on the tip of my fingers that tells me you will go, never to come back. But you claim it's cause you don't have the time. No, you didn't care, and you never will.

If you don't have enough time to stick around, let me know when you're coming back to town. And if you don't know, well I understand cause it's okay if you don't have your future planned. Take it one day at a time, maybe fake it if you can't find your rhyme. Save your energy cause there's so much you haven't seen. You've been gone. All of this time, all of these years, so long... If you don't have enough time to stick around let me know if you're coming back to town. And if you don't know, well I understand cause it's okay if you don't have your future planned. I will understand. You took off for a few years, only coming back for selfish reasons. Coming back around once per season. Tell me, what do you have left here? I don't know what you thought you might find, but if you have enough time to stick around just let me know the next time you're back in town. Let's get down.

We've been on the run too many days to count. I've lost track of time from feeling so burnt out. When will it end? It could take a while to get my story straight, driving for many miles until I find a way to get where I need to be. Fill up the car with premium, we're living rich. Stop inside the store before we have to ditch. (please don't leave me here) Go and lock up the van cause we're stopping for a bit and I could use a hand. Grab the key to the trunk, toss it over to me and let's get this stuff. Come on lets go, we need to find a new way to live our lives instead of escaping on the thruway. Robbing others blind to have a good time... I can't continue living with the thoughts on my mind. This is a cautionary tale... do the right thing, or else the truth will prevail. In the end anyway, I would get the last word and you'll hear me say I'mma head out.

Oh no, I think I'm gonna explode. I'm like a volcano; about to erupt. The pressure's building up.. I think I've taken enough. I'm like a lobster pot filled up to the top, boiling over, waiting for you to look at me and see that something's wrong... but it's too late. The pressure's building up. (It's too late, and you've lost your chance)

I think I'm afraid that maybe I'm going insane. I don't have a clue of what to do, or what comes next. Tell me... do you? All I hear is silence, all I fear is violence. Someday I hope to find my peace. These thoughts are permanent, cause they're repeating, repeating, over and over in my head. When they go away they come back again, never leaving me to be myself and live. There's no escape, no. You can't ever get away. Let's go. All I hear is silence. All I hear is a ringing in my ears. But what if it gets worse? All I fear is violence. The anger and rage are building up inside but I cannot hide what I can only describe as the worst feeling that one can feel; losing control of your life, losing control of the wheel. I will never let it go, I'm here to steal the show. All I hear is silence, all I fear is violence. Violence against myself. Awh yeah this riff slaps!

I'm waiting for the day where you will come back to me. Maybe one day you'll see. Not many people understand what I'm trying to do, but it's all for you. I can't leave you alone. You need someone to help you groove. All these years I thought I was doing the right thing. And maybe I was wrong, but I'll never admit it, cause to me that's everything. I'm waiting for the day when you will finally see. And if you'd rather fight than listen to men sing, well then we have a problem, because to me the music is everything. Yeah, oh wow! I'm ready for the day when you will remember me. I'm waiting for the day when you will come back to me. Maybe one day I can change but until then I don't know... But hopefully you'll change your mind. Maybe one day you'll change your mind. I'm waiting for the day when you will finally see. I want to see what you are missing out on, now step back and let me take the lead.

I had thought about what you said to me last week. I didn't mean to ignore you and turn the cheek. I know it was wrong of me... You don't deserve that, no one does... Cuz, I've been thinkin about what you said to me, it will never leave my memory. You know I can never see things the way they're meant to be.

J Thoubbs brings you the grooves, you know just what to do. Come on, let's dance! It's our chance! It's our chance to feel the music, to know it's real. And if you disagree with me, well then I can't really tell you how to feel because it isn't fair. It's not fair to you, not fair to me, cause if you don't like J Thoubbs well then consider me history! I guess I gotta move on and forget everything. What else is new? J Thoubbs brings you the grooves, at least he's trying to. If you disagree, don't trust me, cause I think this music is so fire. I think it's so great, I take it everywhere I go. You'll learn that this is no mistake. The music's there for me in my time of need. It's there to provide us all with the grooves that we so desperately need. It isn't fair. Well, nothing's fair. Some just don't care. You'll never care. And if you weren't a fan of J Thoubbs in the past, well here; I got something for ya... Here's a riff! Danananananananananananana WOO.

Whatcha gonna run away every time you lose yourself in the moment? Whatcha got something to say? No one wants you here, now get away from me. You like to talk the talk, but do you walk the walk? I'm getting real sick and tired of coming here expecting that things might get better when it's clear that you don't care about making things right. How can you sleep so peacefully at night? I'll never understand. Whatcha gonna run away? You can try to save yourself, but I'm waiting on that day. Tell me who you represent, cause it sure ain't me. You've made too many mistakes in the past. May your legacy never last. Whatcha gonna run away when I ask a simple question? Remove yourself from the situation, cause your time has come. Try to take the high road. See how far ya get. Try to take the high road.... Get outta my face! When you spread negativity do not engage with me, cause I don't want your vibes. I guess we just live parallel lives... How about you pick on someone your own size! Whatcha gonna run away every time that things get hard? Well that's a start. You can try to save yourself when you say things are fine but you know they really aren't. Try to take the high road, see how far you get. Try to take the high road. You know, I could take the high road, but I think I'd rather play this sweet groove... hahaha here we go. All I wanted to be was your friend, but wait. I know how this ends. Don't worry, I'll never bother you again. Why don't you try to take the high road? Whatcha gonna run away?

You don't deserve to be the hero! Oh no, you're like Thanos. You think that you're right when you're wrong. No one will miss you when you're gone. Goodbye!

Why don't you carry your head in shame? You're so forgettable that you insist on everyone repeating your name. Leave us, the ones who want the decency. Get out of town. No tolerance, I can't follow it. Carry your head in shame. Yeah you might think that you have it figured out, well so do I. Except I know the difference between the truth and a lie. You are so forgettable, it's kind of funny to someone like me. And I think I'm a nice guy... What you gonna sit there and cry cause you can't defend your lies? You thought that we wouldn't notice? Well we did.. and now you're left with the shell of a life that's devoted to lies. Carry your head in shame, you're so forgettable that nobody will ever remember your name. (No they won't) Liar, liar, pants on fire! All you want is to lie, that's what you desire! You lie, you lie, you lie and you hate! All you do is lie, now wallow in your shame!

We're moving in different directions. Opposed like magnets pushed away. Feel the grooves in you, do they feel okay? Cause I don't think you're made to take this type of pain. I don't think you're made to take this type of pain. Just give it up. Hey there, I'm trying out something new, once again. Here you are, in it. You think you take this pain, but you don't know. You don't know if you can. Don't get too confused when I move around in circles. You think you can take the pain, but I don't think you have much say. This is not a choice you make, it's determined by the gods who laid the ground you walk on every single day. I just want to change it up because I think I've done enough. Yeah I don't really care if you don't buy music or my stuff. I don't care if I am treated rough. Your act is a masquerade, you call it tough love. Welcome to the last song on my new album. Yeah you made it this far, congratulations. I had to take some time to match the rhythms with the rhymes. I had to make sure I got it right, because if not then I'm gonna get roasted.
