Here is IARB's entry, for those who want to know what the song that won the round was like.
ImARudeBoys Entry
New York City
About: starting over in a new, scary place. The genesis of finding out who you really are and exploring the big world, starting with NYC.
Verse:
Sights and sounds
Heavy footsteps on the ground
Trains and taxis
People making out in the backseat
Rooftop parties
Kids snorting smarties
Bums and businessmen
Getting lost every now and then
Pre-Chorus:
Wandering, wondering
Do I belong?
In a sea of people
Will anyone hear my song?
Chorus:
Where does a pawn like me
Come into play
In a game like New York City?
Where does an extra like me
Come into light
In a play like New York City?
Do I have the guts
To make it big
In a place like New York City?
Bridge:
Should I really be
Alone in this city
Should I just leave
I'm too young, too naive
Should I really be here?
Is this my destiny?
Pre-Chorus
Wandering, wondering
Do I belong?
In a sea of people
Will anyone hear my song?
Chorus
Where does a pawn like me
Come into play
In a game like New York City?
Where does an extra like me
Come into light
In a play like New York City?
Do I have the guts
To make it big
In a place like New York City?
The Chorus is amazing, well deserved
Supermodel Lyrics
hair in the wind, sass in my talk, smize in the face, now watch me walk. x3
Everyday's a new task, walking through the streets the boys gasp. Every living moments a photo shoot, never miss a pose, these girls envy you. It's not my fault I flaunt what I got, I'm naturally superior, that's not a thought, but a fact. Now watch me walk , I feel this moment, Let my hair loose this let the wind control it. Smile for the camera, I better werk. Now do the supermodel and serve.
*Beat Breakdown*
Burn up this world, set my path a blaze, my stillthose sending out heat waves. My stare so cold filled with passion, baby I recreate fashion. Body for days never gone to waste, serving the boys what they crave. My confidence radiates just like my smile, flaws don't exist for miles & miles.Now walk my walk better feel this moment, better let loose this hair let the wind control it. Smile for the camera, you better werk. Now Do the supermodel and serve.
*Beat Breakdown*
Head up high, hands in the air, hair in the wind cause ill never care. Make up free let them all just stare, ignite the supermodel right there. Strut the confidence that burns inside baby I run my life.
*beat breakdown*
hair in the wind, sass in my talk, smize in the face, now watch me walk. x3
[Verse 1]
I know I want to leave my wrinkle in the fabric of time
I'll never leave this world like the life in my eyes
It’s simpler being young, letting go, letting everybody know
You're only as young as your heartbeat.
It's easier being dumb, going numb, from abusing all of life's drugs
I'm kept happy by my ****ed up mind.
And it's like lightning, striking, beautiful in every way
When you live just like a king every single day.
All because you don't give a ****, get it up, keep filling up my cup
I wish to wash my mortality all away.
[Chorus]
I am immortal, unsorted, just a little sordid
Yeah I could be insane.
No fear of death, hold your breath, oh let your mind go red
I might be crazy, but we're all the same.
We all wanna be kings and queens, ruling things, top of the social ring
Baby you're still dying inside.
So shoot it up with me...
And we'll be youthful things
Forever and ever.
Always in paradise
Blown out and starry eyes
And baby I'll never die.
[Verse 2]
As I get high off the sky, off the stars, static and I'm paralyzed
Tell me what you see in my eyes.
Is it electricity?
Ecstasy?
Or baby would you call it life...?
I can look past the lines, through the night, on every single flight
To heaven
I don't run out of time.
I claim these streets tonight, every night, yeah i said every night
Cause babe everything is mine...oh.
[Chorus]
I am immortal, unsorted, just a little sordid
Yeah i could be insane.
No fear of death, hold your breath, oh let your mind go red
I might be crazy but we're all the same.
We all wanna be kings and queens, ruling things, top of the social ring
Baby you're still dying inside.
So shoot it up with me...
And we'll be youthful things
Forever and ever.
Always in paradise
Blown out and starry eyes
And baby I'll never die.
[Bridge]
When you hear my name I want you to think the same
As I.
Look deep into the night
Think about your worthless life
Because in the end
You'll be gone
While I'm still alive.
[Chorus]
I am immortal, unsorted, just a little sordid
Yeah i could be insane.
No fear of death, hold your breath, oh let your mind go red
I might be crazy but we're all the same.
We all wanna be kings and queens, ruling things, top of the social ring
Baby you're still dying inside.
So shoot it up with me...
And we'll be youthful things
Forever and ever.
Always in paradise
Blown out and starry eyes
And baby I'll never die.
Some of the stuff I wrote in that song was a little "eh," but that's most likely because I was scrambling to get something together on Thursday and towards the end of Friday.
Ahhhhhh!!!!! I did NOT expect myself to come in second place! Oh my god. Thank you so much! Can't believe I thought about dropping out cause I didn't have a song until the final hours. Congrats ImARudeBoy and everyone else!

Meaning of Life
Verse #1
Life's pretty short if you ask me
A little too fast and a little too hazy
But there ain't no time for thinking
You just gotta break the door and fly
Chorus:
So..
Salaam I'm going
Gonna live my dreams starting now
The luck wheel is rolling
Winner or not I'm lucky tonight
A shooting star is falling
A moment ago it burned so bright
An incredible moment
From it I got the meaning of life
Verse #2:
I'm a little too optimistic
To me reality is just so.. realistic
The world in my mind is so sensationalistic
So I let the colours of my mind go wild
Chorus #2:
So
Salaam I'm going
Gonna live my dreams starting now
The luck wheel is rolling
Winner or not I'm lucky tonight
A shooting star is falling
A moment ago it burned so bright
An incredible moment
From it I got the meaning of life
Bridge:
I wanna be there until it stops
I'm not gonna last forever but my name can
One day I wanna look back and feel my tears drop
Be proud cause I did understand
That..
Final chorus:
I had to be going
And chase my dreams without a pause
That the wheel luck may be rolling
But I could be faster and win before it stops
That when a shooting star is falling
It can only shine so far before it stops
It taught me that nothing
Lasts forever on the top
And that life's pretty short without asking
It's a little too fast and a little too hazy
But there ain't no time for thinking
You just gotta break the door and fly..
* Salaam is peace in Arabic, we use it for goodbye/hello too, which was the way I used it.
Why do we have to wait until Monday for the challenge?
All of these tournaments I'm in are running a bit slow.. I need something to do.
Plus, I really want to know the next theme so I can show you what I got. I think you guys took my song too seriously.
