Autumn on the playlist, All tomorrow wasted, Man, I think I wet the bed, that's an awkward conversation, figment of myself, an award on the table, man, I drink to good health, and then some more for libation. because nothing really matters, but everything's important, I'm supposed to be discovered but, I don't even know where we are... And sure this game's probably changing but these are highs and lows, it's the plateus I'm afraid of. And I'm running up, and I'm on a weapon, And I'm working hard, and I get these questions, "Why you handing out your own cards?" Well, I guess it's having trouble staying sober, yeh we festive, and I made a bunch of shows no-one wanted, and there's still envelopes stacked at home that's a sign of the times, Keep it on the DL, keep it on the DL, yeh homie, that's my soul on a DL. So yeh, I'm just a newcomer, I guess you could say that. And yeh, it took me 8 years, and I bet you would hate that. Cirled the festivals, Boxed them up, Trifecta revenue, on all that, all that medical So call me Anna Pacquin cos I'm acting like a Rogue, and my girl's Macaulay Culkin cos she's always home alone, I'm her Thomas Jefferson, stung by her behind man it kills me just to know that she could run anytime. And I'm running up, I'm on a weapon, I'm working hard, still getting questions, "Why you handing out your own cards?" Well, I guess it's having trouble staying sober, yeh we festive, man, I made a bunch of shows no-one wanted, and there's still envelopes stacked at home as a sign of the times, Keep it on a DL, keep it on a DL, yeh homie, that's my soul on a DL. Hear ye, hear ye! Hear the crowd grew to love a man, Whiskey whiskey! Get a tattoo of something, and it's funny how I can see the words in a Twitter stream, and still feel like the whole world wants the head of me. (And everything that you want) You can always have it if you want it. (and I want it... on the rocks)

I be getting beef, like cattle, bro. and a pho, can't keep his lips sealed like a camel toe haters wanna hate me cos they gamen though, even though I was still spitting sick flows, with no antedote, back when it was only shrapnel for a can of coke, back when we were eating grilled cheese, and the toast, so if you don't like it, son - tell me to my face. and if you don't like me, son - tell me to my face. not in handwritten letters, fan twitter mentions, rants on the internet, cos you get romantic never. Sucks to be you, that your girl gonna rush to be with me, she played you like a 303, son. up and down, girl I can't quite figure it out, you on and off like the IT crowd We close, better put your hands on me, This a dangerous game like Jumanji!

Boilemakers, hold the Fort for the Bris-vegas empire, and haters holding on their balls like the emperor, and they can't address it man, they try to make a men's for it, but them threads won't get them anywhere.... Get it cut. and the ex that wasnt happy with your style now be trying to straighten out all those creases yo, that's "irony". see I'm eating if my girl wanna buy me drinks, and I'm eating if my girl got the thighs that meet, hottest bird on my shoulder yo, you "piracy", and you burn it up like "can I get a lighter please?", damn, how you sweat it, have that perspective, young and the reckless, hands down the best thing that ever happened to me, [VERSE II] Bet they're checking all the photos on our facebook, making sure that they don't click a button that could trace em, Let them have it, and play while we take two... have a beer and some scotch, that's the main crew 'falls for the dynasty that know how to gain true, trust in the people that were there when you came through, chase like a leopard, pay off collected, stay here forever, hands down the best thing to be waking up next to.. [BRIDGE] whispering in the back of the place, in the dark, well, I guess it's called a night, and we don't even finish our drinks, let that ice break, home 'fore that first light. we on that next one, 4068, we on that Jones, like, so 'bout to detonate, so literal, dance like rap lyrics, (put ya) back in this, and back to back business, good cos we about to get physical...

You could be all the best things that I never had. You and me on the same team, would it be so bad? It's all I wanna do. Too soon (the pressures of) getting over you. (played the game) Too bruised (there's rules) What am I supposed to do that? And I played it right from the start but I'm hoping that you, Semi-jaded standing up against the wall. I guess none of these lessons really paid off at all, Cos I'm still young, and you're still younger then, and I'm still learning, and I guess it isn't working. (do you...) Still think I'm the only one? You could be all the best things that I never had. You and me on the same team, would it be so bad? It's all I wanna do. I'm on you everywhere, I'm too affectionate, I'm writing 'rookie-of-the-year' text messages, I'm "pedestools, pedestools", second-guesses that I made right from the start, but I'm hoping that... You, Still wanna touch me like I really wanna touch you. Still wanna play all these games, shy away from the truth. And change your mind. Then change your mind again. And say "I love you", then "goodbye", and then... still think I'm the only one.

First you want it, Then you get it, Then you want more. Everything. I want everything. ----------------------- Zero drive-by's, Six different locations, school hard knocks, "yeh bitch, we graduated!" We're so middle class, we're so medium. We're so bored, we're so Baldwin, William. Everyone on the gas, comedians, I got dentist swag, brah, I'll fill you in. Girls at the bar, But they bring boyfriends, And I got a girlfriend, So we really just talking. "Dancing on stage, Dancing on stage" Bro I'm the baddest culprit. And all these sharks can't tell a king from a joker. split half, fractions munting, My maths is so disgusting, fill glasses, glance at something. dancing on stage, dancing on stage. We're so malcolm in the middle, they don't know our names. Hands up if you're down, "dancing on stage, dancing on stage" Gamen days, gamen days, bro we so gamen hey?

I want everything. ----------------------- And they dancing front and centre, feel each others presence, wrap that. Hear the beat from the floor we clap, Hear their feet on the floor and we tap, and the sweetest calls that they all wanna see some skin like they cutting grass, Still In them line-ups, brah? Guess we've been buffering hard. We on Toyota rims, that's so suburban trashy! Spare key in the bag of a milli, Thirteen in the back of a maxi. You wanna make them happy?

See that booze had me burning all them bridges in London Brooklyn? Thank them hundreds. Harbour bridge? that's daily now, . Storey bridge? that's vegas, man! Drinking with girls who think those stars can get you famous, man. I learnt that hanging out in parks for recreation, man. Slow start, But I run so hard. No recharge like a go card, "Toke and pass" - woops - faux pas, So, so nuts, I'm bolt fast! I was too untrustable, and so so loose like broken shoe strings. No doubt. Don't speak. All those vices always spoken to him. And I make mistakes, but I blame no-one but my taste for the potion, Tried to blaze a trail, Lit off the breath from fumes of a wick and mo' rum. And now these journo's asking this kid what gone took him so long? Well, it's better late than never, fucking dead, am I right? or so wrong? (And we keep running, sipping 'syzurp' in the pool and spas by the...) RESET! (If you really wanna change it, then change it) (Just change the channel) Push the button, son! (Cos anyway I do it, I'm a star) (Cos everything's the same) (If you really wanna change it, then change it) (Just change the channel) Push the button, son! Cos anyway I do it, I'm on fire. Self-made like 'automate', Back on stage, and it's all OK... Three scenes then rap, rap. Yelling out "brap, brap!" Now you know why... Round one then, I hurt em. Man, I'm so Berisha on verses, One player plays and it's over - Flawless haters want that mercy on them! Tables turn, Anyone cheque that? Say they want more, See them all step back? Even on stage, Hear them all clap clap, Hear it all day - Cereal Pop. Won't stop til I burst the banks, I got Brisbane flow, like, I'm so '11, Disco, Dinnertime and 4-point-1 And still we keep on running, man! So here I am, making noises, Mountain tops - all the boys, Mozeltoff! Man, those non-believers were the loudest voices here, And now they're gone, No taking shortcuts Rejection letters, yeh they paved the way for us, play the playlist, turn the gain up, Raise your glasses high!

Hot as hell eye contact. While she got her hands on my belt Peat smoke on the tip of her tongue, Killer banter, man, she so dexterous, I'm so reckless, man, I'm down for these shots like I'm Loch Ness, And these haters can kiss my ass, If they don't know how to do "tongue-in-cheek" properly, Hear the crowd asking for more? Send punchlines home like the last call, Then get loco at the last port With a Czech mate by the side of a castle, Yeh I hurt hard from the last fall, Thank the king and his men and the task force, For putting me together again, Disco, fish roe, I'm a dark horse! Do we get large on the "syzurp", Tiny mushroom - yeh - I'm a "champignon". Bro, she cut a rug like scissors, Make knees weak, and hope that she wanna be mine, Want her, 24/7, at home, Dude, I'm just a slave to the music, But maybe it's because I got these Ghanaian back bones? And I Write what I see, Disco, "sic" notes. sharp-E? Nah, that's writer's hip hop. I do journalism wrapping like a chip shop. And I want this daily. Don't be calling for the white flag, We push it back, forever. Don't be acting gamen. You know that I'm never, I'm never, ever gonna... (Surrender!)
