Leave Lyrics by Jack Rootes

Back to My Rootes

2019

[Intro - Evelyn “Champagne” King]

Don't cry...
You're sad cause I'm going away...
Just think about the love we had...

[Verse 1 - Jack Rootes]

I've had so many thoughts runnin' in my head amok
About doing shows around the world and such
I love my hometown, that'll never change
But right now, I wanna succeed at this paper chase
What do you know about making songs for 5 years?
Been writin' through my joy, sorrow, laughter and my tears
Life's a bitch, I just hope it lets me slide through
'cause all I wanna see is my dreams become true

Make the best lyrics and beats as I muck around
Maybe build myself a little buzz in the underground
Wish I could plan a trip to success beforehand
Wish there was a flight straight to the promised land
So I don't have to struggle as a starving artist
With a big bank, all my lyrics the smartest
Don't wanna face this, but I know I can't lie:
One day, I'll have to board that flight and say goodbye

[Hook - Evelyn “Champagne” King]

Ooh baby, I'm sorry...
But you know I got to leave from here...
(X2)

[Verse 2 - Jack Rootes]

Yeah, I love Aylesbury, that'll never change
But you gotta leave when every face looks the same
Started this little journey of mine long ago
Gotta keep goin' with that streamline flow
'Cause I swear I keep seein' shadows in my room
Tellin' me that all the hundreds are comin' soon
And if I stay here, I swear that I'll never grow
And one day I'll be too old for this studio

After that, it'll be all up to me
If I should follow my dreams or set them free
I could easily flush this from my mind like a toxin
But by this point, failure's not an option!
Yeah, I wish that I was on tour
Even when I'm done, I know I'll still want more
But now, I need to wait untill the next night
Wake up tomorrow, hoping to catch the next flight

[Hook - Evelyn “Champagne” King]

[Verse 3 - Jack Rootes]

But hey, look upon the bright side;
No matter where I am, I'll still be that nice guy
Doin' shows around the globe, livin' life lavish
With all my bros, makin' big time cabbage
Havin' parties when the work's done, I assume
End the night with a groupie in my bedroom
Hope my bank account ends up with a billion
Enough to live life lovely with my children

But at the moment, I need to pack my luggage
Get away from all those kids who act thuggish
Get my bros and leave my past life behind me
Only then will my chances be most likely
That my dreams get achieved in my lifetime
Then I can say that my life is all fine
And before I board that plane to my new premise
I'll turn to my family one last time and tell them this:

[Hook - Evelyn “Champagne” King]
