Yooo Aint spittin with you, Nah I'm spittin at you, Bless you, At ya front door yelling Guess who's, This West dude, gettin hype when the rest through, Treating every beat like a rest room. Oh? You got chess moves, Please. Im showing you how the best move, Check you, mate, you breathe because I let you, Short bus, rollin around thinking you special, Ford Bruv, Must Hang nuts at eye level. Green Medicine take a hit of this, With my boys walkin round like gorillas in the mist, Paranoid so i know where the cynicism lives, But i never took a bite of a bit of bitterness . Met a chick looking devilish like the devils bitch, How come they say they sweet when they never is, Act celibate but then willing to sell a bit, She's hella fit, and I, fuck for the hell of it. You gotta man? Bet he hella whipped, Let me guess. You love him but you won't tell him this, Make ya body move, I'm on some telekinetic shit, Fuck a climax I throw em over the precipice. Get her wet like the winter weather is, I could raise a school of fish in ya bitches crevices, Kinda brain that she give, she could be a therapist, Im knockin so let me in. She never say - No Make ya girl say - Oh A - I - owe - you he don't know, hear her break vowels, on a mission to make her moan, can't help but breaks hearts of the ones you take home. This is easy, Just like Eric the west need me, Biggie said Whats Beef? It's what I need to feed me. Love and leave me Give me more I'm greedy, Give me yours Im meanie, miny moe you see, Pick me up then free me, Don't agree then teach me, Drunk as fuck in Leedy What i done believe me, No one touched or seen me, Not enough still greedy Will i learn to be me Scotty Beer or Beam me this is how I'm eating. This is how i get even, dropping E late into the evening. High coz its tuesday, thats a good reason Every rhyme cries, sweats and then its bleeding. Coming and leaving. Im'a seem so far away on repeat like John Cleese. Im trynna kick my shit like Bruce Lee. You can be the one, coz I'm the two three , Man I'm Jesus's son, I'm the truth the world needs, Wanna B-I-G - P - A - C - G - O - D Its west coast but, its OZ, We're that red headed step child our daddies don't see, we aint bitching at the door like, daddy don't leave, He'll regret he ever thought I'm what daddy don't need, Baby grow to be a beast, put, daddy on knees, So dope, Im the reason, Daddy OD'd.

Intro The truth in life's gonna get you x 4 Verse 1 Everyday, hands up trynna catch a break, But everyday its like I'm late trynna catch a train, No office games, but you could still catch a case, Pounds in the car, think we're stars like Patrick ain't Somebody saves us, from trying to save up, Money ain't love, but that's what they want Then look at me like nuns whenever I say Fuck Act like I smoke crack whenever I blaze up Bitches stay drunk, I'm thinking you fake Slu- Rring ya words, Ain't even worth a verse, Ain't even worth her purse And that ain't even hers I'm getting off the point, lets bring it back to Earth. Bring it back to Perth, City in the west, If cities had jobs my city would have a desk I'm quitting for my city to go on a killer quest, I quit, hitting the billies, I needed to get a breath. Sunny O-Z but it's hard for us to shine bright, Lemonade out of lemons, but I want the lime light, yelling fuck a 9-5, want a chick who's 5-9 Sunrise to sunset to sunrise Chorus x2 All Alone The truth in life's gonna get you, All Alone, The truth in life's gonna get you, All alone, The truth in life's gonna get you, (Can you tell me am I all alone? Ohh) The truth in life's gonna get you. Verse 2 I hear tweet tweet, No birds though, Just assholes, Man I think the worlds broke, I wanted to ask you, have you ever dreamed of, More than a fur coat? Have you ever seen love? I been hitting the weed, but I feel beat up, Thought you, found you a queen, But that's a diva Why don't you, take you a break, Have a breather, Swear, It'll be alright, You don't believe us. Chill. I been sitting on a hill, Hating fake people, Loving all the real ones, Life's up and down, On the whole though it's still fun, Sometimes suck but you know what its still love. Trynna do what I never did, Forever grow, Instead of trying to get a grip, I'm letting go. Nice night for a ride to the night sky, Trynna show em what I've seen, I'm trying to let em know Crying to let em know, And I'm dying to let em know, We've all got baggage, I'm trying to let it go, Trynna bum a light, But still trying to let it show, Never try and you'll never know, Gotta love it to let it grow Chorus All Alone The truth in life's gonna get you, All Alone, The truth in life's gonna get you, All alone, The truth in life's gonna get you, (Can you tell me am I all alone? Ohh) The truth in life's gonna get you. All Alone The truth in life's gonna get you, All Alone Do you think life's gonna miss you? All Alone The truth is, life is a bitch too (Can you tell me, am I all alone? Ohh) The truth in life's gonna get you Outro

The Rain (free) 04:12
(To be with you baby, Lets chill So lets just settle down, come on Its what I wanna do Thats all I want to do, to be with you) Lets Chill, Lets Chill... Verse 1 I get this feeling on my insides, when I spit rhymes and I been high This is life the one thousandth and fifth time Fuck a bed time, trynna have it this time Sick of next time, retired Marty Mcfly I Got the type of bars that don't bend, my bars bite, When you feeling alone, light it up, it's alright, Get you into the zone, realise its just life, Could be here then ya gone, so do more than just not die. Hi, how you doing, alright?, Make ya head nod every time, I, reach into mine, Im trynna live with the fact we were put here to die, Most high when I write got God in my eyes, Dot and I sign the line, I don't know what to think, Blood, sweat, my tears, fill syringes with ink, When it's said and done and I'm gone nothing similar since Hopping the fence, I'm going from a kid to a king CHORUS Don't run away when the rain falls down , I'm Trynna live like I could die right now, I Look in the clouds trynna find my smile, I pray, Just let me live for today, I ain't afraid of the rain. I been looking trynna find my self, so Who am I? Coz I still can't tell, I Look to the sky as the raindrops fell I pray, just let me live for today I ain't afraid of the rain. Verse 2 Won't run away my dear I'm a man, I'm a face my fear So I'ma stand where I am, though I hate this hear, I'll make this year, my own, I can break this year, Snakes they stare, at kings, trynna take they chairs, There's fake shit here, and I ain't trynna take shit there, I'm trynna take hits and make hits to make kids care, In the matrix here, attracted to the latest gear, And I wonder why nobody ever say shits weird. Puffin sedatives, trynna be the clever kid, Capital punishment, taught me these def sentences, Mix money and love, careful with the measurements, Won't bury it, this moment Im'a treasure it, Wok's in the basement, cooking up the medicine, Dressed for the beach and we're trynna climb Everest, Looking for an elephant, lighter than a feather is, All got dreams, hope I'm in the right bed for this CHORUS Verse 3 So can I just dream? Or do I gotta say please? I pray I never drop to my knees I'ma die on my feet, smile when I cry and I weep Coz I know I'll be fine next week High trynna get, deep Trying to fly but I'm not Pete Not grinning but I'm showing my teeth Im'a show em heart beats, Show em how you can heal when the scars deep, How to whistle even if you can't breathe, Can be, what I can't be, life's a bitch so madam please Help me with the puzzle coz I'm looking for the last piece Lastly, can we dance while the rain speaks, Hold hands, like we just met, on that same street, With the same smell from the rain on the concrete By that same tree, our initials in the bark read, A for you, felt the spark when you touched me, Like a touch screen, you moved me so it must mean. Chorus x3 I ain't afraid of the rain

Saving Grace (free) 04:01
(Intro) I don't wanna be deep on this beat But I can't fucking let go of whats around me Capslock is still on, when I log off and sleep (Verse 1) It's late noon, and all I wanna do is make tunes, Sometimes, all I wanna do is hate you, But at the end of the day, I just hate my self, Coz I know that it ain't you. So it's fuck me, wishing it was fuck you, Wish I didn't wanna know what ya up to, Wish I never made memories of us two, Wish I never knew what it meant to touch you. So Bye Bye, I'm gone now, Hard knowing I gave you the best love, Wonder when I'm sitting on top, Will you beg me back? Will I tell you to get fucked? With Ease, make another "Bitch Please", Now every other bitch Eve, Gemini, so the Adam got split and you looking so Japanese, Now I'm wasted like every weekend, an angel fucking these demons These women loving my penis, there's no love left between us, Angry and then I'm sad but I'm acting like I don't feel, You turned my feeling to secrets, I hate that I gotta keep em I'm torn.. So torn.. Picked you a rose and you gave me back all the thorns, I.. Gave her a rose and she gave me back all the thorns, Should of left that rose where it was in the garden I stole it from so... (Chorus) I don't wanna be deep on this beat, But, I can't fucking let go of whats around me, Capslock is still on, when I log off and sleep My baby What's around me? So what's around me? What's around me? So what's around me? (Verse 2) That's sharp love, I'm scarred up, Don't you dare look down on me. If pain is love and love is pain, You really fucking want me. Wish I could walk away, Pretend that I never saw ya face, I'm thinking ya everything I know ya ain't, The idea of you I know is fake. There's plenty more fish in the sea, Said time heals I'm not quite there, Can you stay outta my dreams? I blame you for all of my nightmares, Could of been, you and me for anything, Middle fingers up now, no more dreams of wedding rings, Listening to Lauryn sing, "everything is everything" Falling trynna spread my wings, Smell ya perfume on the wind, Trynna fly like Peter did, Coz life was easy as a kid, Then tried to be ya man and found how fucked up being grown up is. So understand understand, ya Wendy and Im Peter Pan, Or I'm Alex in wonderland, or I just miss holding ya hand. Just a dance, just a dance, give my kingdom for a dance, No I'm sticking to the plan, I swear I'll never love again. (Chorus) I don't wanna be deep on this beat, But, I can't fucking let go of whats around me, Capslock is still on, when I log off and sleep My baby What's around me? So what's around me? What's around me? So what's around me?

Pour it up, roll it if you brought it out Sorta drunk, but we drinking till the morning now, Out the back with this chick chilling on the couch, Head on her lap while she holding joints to my mouth. Light it up, like you could never get high enough, Kiss her now, before some other guys does, Take a chance, won't hurt just to try once, The nights young, and so are you and I love. Beers chillin, chilling with pretty women, Not fake bitches, thats what pretty isn't, Fake chicks looking at me like oh no he didn't, But I did, get a personality or disappear. You can whisper in my ear, but be prepared I don't care, About who, what and where, or what you wear, I wanna know, whats under ya hair, Just show me ya head, I'll show you my bed, You showing respect I'll show you the rest. In the smoke filled air, kicking it then we're coughing, Living like oxygen just isn't an option, Chatting without drinking isn't even talking, Everybody awkward, everybody wanna be awesome. (Chorus) See the times now, while the moons out, We can party all night till it shuts down, So take a hit now, till the suns out, See take my hand, lets live forever. Yeah breathe in, baby breathe out, Synchronise with ya body and ya lips now, Just take my hand lets runaway, Lets take a chance for a brighter day, Eternity... Rob Delirious Verse 2 Yeah Im bleary eyed but never tired like the michellin These women are unforgiven I'm hitting em Molly and MDMA we flipping em, feeling quite ridiculous Living in the bubble these little pills have now put me in, huh... But we livin for the moment, rocking double vision, but I'm focused, Focus Ford, yeah I'm speeding round the city in the open Air, coz her tops down, cutie you'll be gropin Hands intertwined, this super sized living, Got me feeling like Alexander the great, And I'm wheeling through this city I mean reeling like a mother, fuckin fishing for different bitches, I'm ripping a bubble gum blunt, Leaning on the edge of a foreign apartment, Three thirty five, but the nights alive and we sparking, Dogs in the distance barking, women in the room and they laughing These drugged out visions what we after.. (Chorus) (Verse 3) Summer days, summer nights, summer vibes Some are yours, some are mine Dark shades over summer eyes, If the summer time getting summarised, In three words , its "What a life" If Gods real he got it right, And if not, its not a lie We all gotta die, but we gotta live, So I'm living mine, like this the last time, I might see the sunrise. Bet I can, be better than better than No smart phone, I pen rhymes with clever hands Lost boys, forever young, Bangarang, Peter Pan knocking boots, Dorothy's in Neverland. Laid back, wanted the crown I probably could, Aussie kids, we wasn't made for Hollywood, Peaking past the point they said we probably should, Nodding to the beat like somebodies being understood. Heyyy, gotta smile up on my face blazed, Right near the beach where Daves selling eighths of haze Eighty eight, W-A, born and raised Aussie made, we're not full so come and play (Chorus)

Verse one - Alex Ford) Flyer than Jesus, brim low, new Adidas New flow new features, I make Stevie see this, under stand up when they seated Gave my whole life and I'm breathing, Must of been a reason, times up whats the meaning Eyes shut, what Im dreaming? Asleep and I'm fiending, now i've seen it, I'm a believer Walked on cement, till my feet start bleeding. Don't ever knock it, had to get, went and got it, Bar dropping, chocolate falling out of my pockets, Drums knocking, ?uest loving, Chuck Wattsn, If you hating, I'm Cat Tating Im not bovvered, Honest, every feeling I ever got from it, Had to have it, no way that i'd ever not want it, Like turning chronic to hot comets with Gods on em Even God want it, its mine until I'm God promise (Chorus - Miles Bonny) What if everything you wanted was free? To be for the taking Just imagine how it would be To be, just who you are (Verse two - Coin Banks) Was on the court in my sneakers Now I'm back on the bleachers My girl ask, how rap gon feed us? Walk on water like jesus Knee deep in the sea of desire Hot coals on my soul, got my feet in the fire All facts in my raps, don't believe in the liars Why do we idolise, all of these idols like they prophets? Royalty in a child eyes Profit from the title prize Miles high, life above Kurt, Amy, Lennon, Biggie It's like they all died for us Streets mourn for the kings, But never think to Form a kingdom and be their own kings too I'm on the sea floor, with the marine core The triton of writing, Poseidon reborn I'll do the honours dog for, me and my confidants We beyond the ambiance, a bunch of pompous cosmonauts Chorus (Verse Three - Marksman) Some things are gonna change ya life I remember hearing something crazy like Seth Macfarlene was booked on one of the planes that dived into the empire state of mind But slept in hung over and didn't make the flight Don't know if now he's more a family guy Or paralysed when he has to fly Or satisfied with chatter like Serendipity, that's just life, bad luck finds some, while others have the knack to hide From it forever, dodge the horrible weather Get the girl, the job and favours from their college professor But we model modern men and what a moral dilemma admitting we got it better presents us To be frank the oceans tends to re energise ya (ex)cept swimming in a sea of desire (Chorus) (Outro) If you just let them know How it is you feel Suddenly you will realise It doesn't take a large vocabulary to be for real But somebodies got to turn the lights on

Ohh so high... (Verse One) Grab the paint can, wonder where the colours are from His paintbrush the same one that had to colour the sun As it rose to the sky, for the very first time Gave heat to the trees, he was puffin a blunt Then it rained down, met the girl who painted the rain clouds Opposites attract, they making the rain bow Rainbow and they notice, strange though but just go with it Gentle or you'll total it, hearts never been broken in Feelings in the opening, wondering whats awoken him Pulling, pushing, provoking him, hoping that he can cope with it Then she blow a kiss, should he blow it back? Heart heavy in his hand, wonder if their hearts match On that park bench, where them Gods sat, And the stars sang, and that song played and they made contact Said its alright, but, what if its all bad Trynna figure fall with the rain or should i fall back (Chorus) Ohhh, you're so high (High, High, High) You're so high (High, High, High) You're so high (High, High , High) Ya making me feel so... Ya making me feel.. (Verse Two) Imagine getting what you want, Losing what you had, then you want it back And the fact that you let it go, only to collapse On the floor, like before, is it love or am i mad? Im not sure, but I swore, that I would always be a man Comparing good and bad, and the way that I see you Figure like a river, but rivers are so see through Do or don't need you, don't wanna stay, can't leave you So you and me, so good and evil High like the O zone, faded off the diesel I put the world up on an easel Painting till it please you, Like an artist painting in the queens room, Trynna be the one that can appease you, but so far The rain clouds, they cry and they rain down Paintbrush, can't stop it from making the same sounds Not a winner in winter weather, he never came out Never painted the same coz he's painting with pain now Chorus (Verse Three) I said "Hey" nah wait I screamed it in her face Is it a mistake to rhyme these lines with her name I had faith, hope, now no wait, Don't say it, don't fuckin pray at meal time, be brave Breathe, Take a hit of weed, a couple of these They say enough is enough, but it's never enough for me Feel like a junky a fiend, who's addicted to pretty things And the prettiest thing he seen, don't want him to see her wings Kills ya self esteem, when memories haunt dreams And you were told that a king is only good as his queen Was a very good year, when I was seventeen Now I'm alive and high, at twenty five and free But wait They cage still ain't gone and I can't breathe And I hate the fact that I need you to be me Wrote her four letters, never got from E to Z Don't get to say that I love only saying is C'est la Vie This is my trouble Nothing can pull me from the winds I'm so in trouble Caught in a wave of wondering Whisper your maybe Maybe our time is when you're in The time is for taking Chorus
