Lyrics

R.I.P J.R

[Verse 1]

Everywhere I go, it's like plain old Paul

The days unfold, no one gonna save your soul

No salt over the shoulder (Nothing)

Think you're Brendan Fevola out of control

Going to fucking up the teams rap

"Did you forget we're a team, man?"

Another side of Jimmy and I've seen it

Seems so seemless, more like a scene from Machinist

Mean as another three Hurricane Katrinas

Divas ain't got shit on Jimmy, the Christinas

Britney to Whitney, the Tinas

A prima donna, why would I wanna treat him?

Like the lead singer of Wolfmother, I leaving

Believing he was the reason I'm breathing, I'm me and

Everyone should drop to their knees then

I made Jimmy, I hate Jimmy, I break Jimmy

(R.I.P. Dead !) (J.R Jimmy Recard)

[Chorus]

Mr. J.R, rest in peace

Now, you'll never get the best of me, I keep singing that

J.R, rest in peace

Yeah, it's best now to set you free and keep singing that

J.R, rest in peace

I'ma take away the breath you breathe and keep singing that

I made Jimmy, I hate Jimmy, I break Jimmy

(R.I.P. Dead!)

[Verse 2]

I gave you life, you repaid me

Got people playing me with not even knowing what my name is

Look at you with your ladies, look at you tryna play it cool

I know you're full of piss and shallow as a baby's pool

Every jealous fool trying to pull the wool over my eyes

Is destined, always asking the question

Have I got another Jimmy, got another gimmick?

Yeah, I got another Jimmy and his death

But it sound like

[Chorus]

J.R, rest in peace

Now, you'll never get the best of me, I keep singing that

J.R, rest in peace

Yeah, it's best now to set you free and keep singing that

J.R, rest in peace

I'ma take away the breath you breathe and keep singing that

I made Jimmy, I hate Jimmy, I break Jimmy

(R.I.P. Dead!)

(The J, the I, the M, the M, the Y, the J, the I, the M)

[Verse 3]

Mr King of the bar and thinking that you a star now

Mr Get your bra out, Hannibal eat your heart

Mr Bring the car round, time to meet your maker

Mr Say the name that Lano and Woodley break up

I'm the take that take you away no more, how much cake you

Making off Jimmy when Jimmy's finished digging his grave up

Won't take part, don't play parties

And fake fuck mates tryna make money

Off of my name and it's heinous

So you're now in the range of Kurt Cobain's aim and it's dangerous

Famous James is etched in stone

Under the name I quote saying "Welcome home"

I know he's gone, but he's never forgotten

I know that I owe him a lot-a, but bye to I keep singing it

I made Jimmy, I hate Jimmy, I break Jimmy

(R.I.P Dead!) (J.R. Jimmy Recard)

[Hook]

Mr. J.R, rest in peace

Now, you'll never get the best of me, I keep singing that

J.R, rest in peace

Yeah, it's best now to set you free and keep singing that

J.R, rest in peace

I'ma take away the breath you breathe and keep singing that

I made Jimmy, I hate Jimmy, I break Jimmy

(R.I.P. Dead!)

[Outro]

(Jimmy)

Jimmy, Jimmy

Oh, Jimmy Mack, when are you comin' back?

Jimmy, Jimmy

Oh, Jimmy Mack, you better hurry back
