So I look up in the sky every morning when I wake
n I look up in the sky every time I get baked,
now I'm lookin in the sky I think see astro-train,
now I'm flyin in the sky on a motherfuckin plane
You can come with me girl but just know it's not a date,
if you want a relationship you're just gonna have to wait
Cos I can't do that shit, nah not in this state
But trust me when I say it's out of love, not hate.
Sometimes I feel like I should be doin more,
but on the other hand man I never get bored,
other people always tell me that I do fuck all
but they don't shit!
as a matter of fact fuck all!
So I keep my mouth shut at the best of times,
n save all my feelings up just for these rhymes.
I got my own story, got my own timeline
n now I wanna share it with you all one song at a
time.

I'm a No One

I'm A No One
I'm beggin man please come save me from myself
Cos I'm pretty sure that I'm not any good for my own health
Every now n then I'll have a bit too much to drink n
it just makes me miserable, it just makes me sit n think,
about all of the things that I could have done with my life
Like get a decent job or have a couple kids with a wife.
There were too many roads n I didn't know which way to go
Now there are still too many roads man and I still don't know
But I might have found my niche, they say I write smart
You can call me a thief though cos I'm about to steal your heart.
Lookin out the window I see the city lights
n they are filling me with inspiration on this cold Melbourne night
I think its cos I'm lookin out my hotel view,
I cant help but to keep lookin down on you
Thinkin of beauty, tragedy n things of the sort
People killing other people n never getting caught.
I'm A No One
When was the last time that you stopped to look around?
Had a good hard look instead of just lookin down?
You might see something that you lost n now you found,
it could be an object from the past or a familiar sound.
You can see shit that isn't even really there,
that's just your memory projecting them into thin air.
The mind is a powerful tool if you know how to use it,
but right up until now I've only ever abused it
Thats not something that I can take back though
Its way too late for that the damage is done bro.
There's no sense in dwelling on the past,
so if your holdin grudges then you can kiss my arse.
Forgive n forget, that's a good way to live mate
Better than living life full of regret n hate
Unless that's who you are and its what you like to do,
then it's all good but I'll never understand you.

My Promise to You

Since about the age of two I looked up to you n
Now that you're gone I don't know what the fuck to do
I nearly started goin down the wrong road
But now I'm try an break this hip hop code
I don't know if you've been lookin down on me
But I've nearly died a couple times, maybe three
At least I'm still here to see the light of a new day
And I'm grateful if you helped in any kind of way
But if you didn't I just still wanna say
Thanks for being my role models in the early days
I took your advice n common knowledge as a kid
You told me to apply it to life so that's what I did
Until this girl cheated on me n then I blew my lid
n since then my life has been all full of sin
Grow the fuck up,
pull your damn socks up
That's pretty much all I've been hearin since you've been gone
I promise this time I'm gonna do it right yeah
I promise this time I'll do it right.
I remember from when I was just a young tacker
Things you said like when a girl makes you mad,
don't ever smack her
Or look after your mum cos you've only ever got one
n if don't Matt
I'll kick you in the bum
I wish I told you more how much you meant to me
But you guys were pretty smart I guess that you could both see
That without you in this world it was meaningless
n when you guys left I felt like I was being less
of a man n no one will understand
how much you two really need to be here,
Sometimes mum breaks down into tears
and I think your voice would be music to her ears
You departure from this world was life changing
n I can't lie I really fuckin hate aging
I can't live amongst all this stress
I wish you guys were here so you could clean up all the mess
I suffer from the curse of procrastination
But at least you all know that I'm not an imitation
I take my time writing down what I want to say
n I promise that one day I'll blow you all away
With my words and the music that I write to
But from down here I got a pretty shitty view
So I'll climb this metaphorical ladder
I'll climb it so high so when I slip it won't even matter
You might see me runnin but you'll never see me comin.

New Life Breakaway

Everyday is a new day n I'm gonna live them all my way
I threw away the old way n I don't care what people say
Cos that's the old me and now he's gone
A part of me has died while another part is born
So it's the same me with a new frame of mind
n I'm finally ready to take what I want to be mine
From what I can see I got a big mountain to climb
n I'm hopin I'll arrive at the top n I'll be fine
I've already been warned about the people that are gonna tell me
I'm a piece of shit n try to bring me down
So I'm gonna do anything I can to prove them wrong,
I'm gonna turn their smile upside down into a frown
Onward n upward,
that's all I think about
n ima trying really hard just to block all the doubt out
But even if a little bit sinks in
I'm still gonna consider this journey a mental win
Even though my past, present and future is all full of sin,
my life isn't something that I wanna throw in the bin
There's lions in the water and sharks in the jungle
so Ima stand my ground if they ever wanna rumble
Hopefully I don't get up there n stumble,
but even if I do at least you know I'll stay humble
I got my own sound, like the burps of Barney Gumble
n like him when I get drunk
I mumble
But its alright
cos I'm being me
n that's something that no one else can be.
I can't explain how crazy it is,
to get a little bit of respect in the music biz
I wonder if I'll ever be an idol for this
n be a part of what Aussie music really is
That's been a dream of mine since I first used my ears
so I'm gonna keep tryin now bitch.
Cheers
I've never been one to make hard decisions
Or have premonitions
n so far I haven't been admitted into prison
I think it's cos I have been pretty lucky dude
With people that love me enough to help me make my dreams come true.
Packed stadiums, everyone shouting my name
I won't lie bro, that'd be fuckin insane
But for now I'll keep my feet on the ground,
I'll try to keep it real so in twenty years I'll still be around
I gotta keep my head right outta the clouds
n make every single person that I've ever loved proud
Cos I'm a no one and I came from nowhere,
so if this was a race I'd be the tortise and not the the hare
When I'm in the club , they all have to stop n stare
Nah I'm fuckin with you all, they don't even know I'm there
That's never been a dream of mine in all my years
So Ima keep tryin now bitch.
Cheers.

I suffer from the curse of procrastination
I think it's cos I got a huge imagination though
If you got it too, you know what I'm talkin about
But if you're not sure than at least hear the symptoms out
It doesn't make you short and
it doesn't make you tall
It doesn't make you sick and
it doesn't make you go bald
But tryin to get motivated is like climbing a wall
Some days it makes me do not a single thing at all
I'm not gonna winge about it nah not at all
I'm gonna celebrate the fact that I'm now over that wall
I got some plans in my head, I've had em for a while now
n I'm tryin not to drop the ball so I can live my plans out
Ideas more than plans but either way I wanna make them true
Just wanna live life the way I've always wanted to
I'm not sorry if my music makes you sick
I'm sure you're a genius, so you can do better prick.
That's all I ever want to hear
Is that crowd in full cheer
And if they scream out my name
I'm gonna try not to shed a tear
I look forward to seeing your face on the tv screen
or reading about your sorry arse in a magazine
You're so good mate, you might own the whole scene
One day you might even be as big as Queen.
Now if you think I'm lazy then I think you're goin crazy
But lately my minds been goin a little hazy
There might be some truth to what you're sayin mate
But I just hope that you're not sayin it all out of hate.
I got some idols in the Aussie music scene and
it would be a dream if they ever got to know me
Share the big stage, with the big names
It'll probably never happen but Ima pretend all the same cos
I'm sick of suffering from this curse
I'm sick of suffering from this curse
I'm sick of suffering from this curse n
I hate it so much I think my head's gonna fuckin burst!
That's all I ever want to hear
Is that crowd in full cheer
And if they scream out my name
I'm gonna try not to shed a tear
That's the sound that I hear in my dreams
n I picture my face, not yours on the magazine
Isn't it obvious I'm trying to make these dreams a reality
n I'm not afraid to say that I wouldn't mind being a celebrity
That'd be pretty sweet if you asked me,
being famous for what you love to do....that's just being me
But it would suck having zero privacy, what would be worse?
Death threats or paparazzi?
But that's a question that you have to ask yourself
is it worth being famous just to risk your mental health?
You could try to live your life all in stealth
or you could hire body guards to live your life in hell but
I'm sick of suffering from this curse
I'm sick of suffering from this curse
I'm sick of suffering from this curse n
I hate it so much I think my heads gonna fuckin burst!
That's all I ever want to hear
Is that crowd in full cheer
And if they scream out my name
I'm gonna try not to shed a tear
