Switch up the record Damn man don't let me count to 5 Why am I feeling like the realest rapper alive It may be coz I'm high but baby so mysterious Not serious leave everybody in crowd delerious You haven't seen this before pick your jaw off the floor Couldn't resist but to drop some lyrical bliss some more Shut up simmer down I don't need you to come around Take it back you know you should never thought we could be this Good never thought we could be this Good never thought we could be this So when I'm gone would you miss this? When my soul has moved on and you can no longer kiss this See I just wanna drop some bangers and shine Show the world some art rhyme leave a legacy behind get mine Get where we're going not slowing god damn we're going off Don't care bout blowing up kiss my butt don't give a fuck We really live it up when every day's a blessing Who'd have thought we'd be as good as this promise you won't forget Shut up simmer down I don't need you to come around Take it back you know you should never thought we could be this Good never thought we could be this Good never thought we could be go!! Shut up simmer down I don't need you to come around Take it back you know you should never thought we could be this Good never thought we could be this Good they never thought we could be this Good I always said we would be this Good I always knew we would be this good.

'Back From The Future' I’ll lose an inch of my brain Insane in every membrane Watch out I know I won’t change It’s plain to see can’t contain me or anyone In my crew we cruise through all stop signs Screws loose hope all stars are aligned Live life outside of all lines Outside of our minds you’ll find me and everyone Go where the rest can’t go Coz I know what the rest don’t know Now this don’t even need to make sense Nonsensical thoughts maybe just rapping in past tense Flew to the future wrote the rap then brought it back To stay ahead of all of these whack cats that rap crap Fuck the rat race fuck the paper trail Say it to my face bitch I’m never gonna fail I never wanna fit in but then who the fuck does I don’t give a fuck rock the mic just because I’ll go where the rest can’t go Coz I know what the rest don’t know Alright let’s Back from the future not what your used to Straight from the soul the grooves could seduce her Producer of the finest lines throughout time I just came to spit it forget it I’m feeling so fine Killing ‘em on accident kidding me I was just practising Rap or sing I'm killing kings when I get up and do my thing Winning on my mind this time coz I already know We’re going to the top can’t stop watch us explode Alright let’s go Can’t stop us coz we’re on a roll Can’t stop this so let’s lose control Red light says stop but fuck it I say go

'Money' I see my time Is getting rough I see people fill with envy They say I haven’t got enough But what I got is plenty They say we’ll never reach the top They say it wasn’t meant for me They tell me to go get a job But that shit just doesn’t tempt me You know I’m not the enemy You’ll never get the best of me It’s all about the money lately That’s not the way it’s meant to be My life taught me to get tough So why’d I feel so empty I’m scared I’ll never have enough Coz love is all we really need I’m telling you this has to stop This world keeps filling up with greed If we focus on what we’ve got Then we’d see we’ve got everything we’d ever need right here You know I’m not the enemy You’ll never get the best of me It’s all about the money lately That’s not the way it’s meant to go It’s all about the money lately That’s not the way it’s meant to be It’s all about the money lately That shit just doesn’t tempt me You know I’m not the enemy What you think you’ll ever get the best of me It’s all about the money lately That’s not the way it’s meant to be It’s all about the money lately

'These Nights' All I see is you All I need is you All I believe is proof Am I getting through to you? These nights I wake up and I know That you're not here by my side Now I know that I needed you to stay But I don't know if I tried Now I'm feeling so low because we used to fly so high But I guess I never realised That I needed you here tonight All I see is you All I need is you All I speak is truth Am I getting through to you? Listen These nights I wake up and I know You're still not here by my side Well where'd the love go come back Let me try make shit right I never knew quite what to say and so I wrote down this song You never needed me anyway Well I've loved you all along All I see is you All I need is you All I speak is truth Am I getting through to you? Oh yeah yeah no no no Oh yeah yeah no no no Oh why can't I let you go? Why can't I let you know? All I see is you All I need is you All I believe is proof Am I getting through to you? Oh yeah yeah no no no Oh yeah yeah no no no Oh why can't I let you go? Why can't I let you know? All I see is you All I need is....

about

Recorded & mixed by Andrew Lawson (Debaser Studios) and mastered by William Bowden, Money serves as the professional introduction to the band's genre-blending sound, tied together by themes of mortality, greed, money, love and power. The EP explores these heavy themes in a highly listenable sense, with infectious guitars and catchy hooks sprawled throughout the project.

The funk-rap stylings of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, the clever guitar layers of the Arctic Monkeys, and the powerful breakdowns of Royal Blood combine as the perfect canvas for Mechler's powerful vocals and equally powerful messages to hit home.
