There Once Was A Hack
A tired old sack on the crack
Attention from the pack was his favorite snack
Thought he could write just a wanna be, jack

There Once Was A Hack glasses dark black
No musical bone in his scrawny back
His talent so lack brain full of plaque
Don't matter the subject he a borin ole sack

" I want it this way, no that way
No this way and back"
All must obey cause I'm king of the whacks

this way, no that way
No this way and back
All must obey cause I'm king of the whacks

Fdem,
In my opinion these lines are not enough to call this a song. You are off to a good start but I can’t recognize the song structure. What do you think about this? Feel free to use anything I suggested here.

There Once Was a Hack

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse]
There once was a hack, a tired old sack on the crack
Cravin’ applause from the aimless pack
He strutted and squawked like he led the track
But his words were dust and his rhythm was slack

[Pre-chorus]
He’d mumble his lines and call it art
Pretendin’ to bleed from a hollow heart
But when the crowd went cold and turned their back
He just doubled down on his same old act

[Chorus]
He wants it this way—no, that way—no, this way and back
All must obey, 'cause he’s king of the whacks
No truth in his tune, just noise and attack
Bow down, boys and girls, to the mighty ol’ hack

[Break]

[Verse]
There once was a hack, glasses dark black
No musical bone in his scrawny back
He talked about soul, but his soul was cracked
Chasin’ reflections of things he lacked

[Pre-chorus]
He’d steal a line, reshape a rhyme
Claimed he was born before his time
But deep down, everyone knew the fact
He’s a bore in disguise, a hollow act

[Chorus]
He wants it this way—no, that way—no, this way and back
All must obey, 'cause he’s king of the whacks
No truth in his tune, just noise and attack
Bow down, boys and girls, to the mighty ol’ hack

[Bridge]
He built himself high just to fall through the cracks
A legend in mirrors, but lost in the tracks
All flash, no flame, just echoes and lacks
The tale of the tired, the tragic ol’ hack

[Interlude]

[Final chorus]
He wants it this way—no, that way—no, this way and back
All must obey, 'cause he’s king of the whacks
But the crown’s fallen off and the truth’s on the track
There once was a hack... and he ain’t comin’ back

[Outro]
Yeah, there once was a hack
Just a tired old sack…
Now he’s gone with the static
Fade to black
