Jimmy Recard Lyrics

[Chorus]
J.R., Jimmy Recard
Raise your glass for the king of the bar, it's
J.R., Jimmy Recard
Women swinging their arse, ladies swinging their bras for
J.R., Jimmy Recard
All my people singing "Hurrah, hurrah", for J.R
Come and get down with J.R

[Verse 2]
He was always in the right place at the right time
Had a life line wiser than ninety-five percent of the sci-fi followers
Had his collar popped down like they should be
Living off laughter like Lano and Woodley
And it could be, 'cause he had the world in his palm
Every week a different girl on his arm
His mum a doctor, dad, a rock star
Concoct a little something, nine months they popped out a


[Chorus]
J.R., Jimmy Recard
Raise your glass for the king of the bar, it's
J.R., Jimmy Recard
Women swinging their arse, ladies swinging their bras for
J.R., Jimmy Recard
All my people singing "Hurrah, hurrah", for J.R
Come and get down with J.R
[Bridge]
The J, the I, the M, the M
The Y, the J, the I, the M
It's Jimmy
It's Jimmy
The J (Jimmy is Jimmy, no matter what)
The I (Jimmy is Jimmy, no matter what)
The M (Jimmy is Jimmy, no matter what)
It's Jimmy


[Verse 3]
It's like everything he touches turns to gold, it's amazing
Destiny on his side like Jay Z pushing up daisies
A breath of fresh air, the best there is
Like getting in the electric chair and live untouchable
He never perish, reason what luck was for
He was the fairest of them all
Like mirror, mirror on the wall, like Wirrpanda on the ball
Mum comes up with Paul when there's names like Jimmy
Any plan or gimmick, every man will mimic Jimmy
Opening more doors than a Jimmy
That's why he's always fucking swimming in his winnings
The name's ringing in your ears, man, isn't it
Living in jealousy like a prisoner to visitors
He was oblivious to sunshine, day, night
Would my luck change if I was given a name like
[Chorus]
J.R., Jimmy Recard
Raise your glass for the king of the bar, it's
J.R., Jimmy Recard
Women swinging their arse, ladies swinging their bras for
J.R., Jimmy Recard
All my people singing "Hurrah, hurrah", for J.R
Come and get down with J.R

What did Drapht say about "Jimmy Recard"?
Genius Answer

I was thinking of successful names so I jumped on the net and actually googled successful names and came up with James and Recard. So I changed James to Jimmy and used Recard as the last name. I think a name does a lot for a character and where you go in life. And it was a positive track on the record because a lot of my stuff kind of feeds from negative ideas.
