I'd say I'm back but I never left//
And I could say I'm right but i never guessed//
I could talk shit for days but I never would//
But I could if I wanted, yeah I guess I could//
I'd say I'm back but I never left//
And I could say I'm right but i never guessed//
I could talk shit for days but I never would//
But I could if I wanted, yeah I guess I could//
It's illy illy, back again, backing it up//
Sophomore slump not happening, chump//
Still ride through the Frankston line, in my VX//
System cranked to all fuck, black cap with the hoodie up//
I got em tripping like I stuck my foot out//
Turnaround so quick, cause it reads so sick, that my rhymebook is hard to put down//
But its always a safe bet//
That anything i put out's how hip-hop should sound//
They used to tell me my vocal chords didn't warrant a snowballs chance//
Aint got a snowball no more man//
I got an avalanche//
Look at what i created with my two bare hands, when given half a chance//
Im representing the future//
So i don't need no guest verses to prove shit, just talented producers//
Fizzle we still killing em, before he hit the tarmac to split//
Left me some classic boombap as a parting gift//
Thanks for that, i took it, ran with it and i never looked back//
Pu my patch smack bang on a map, Burn city where you at?//
I'd say I'm back but I never left//
And I could say I'm right but i never guessed//
I could talk shit for days but I never would//
But I could if I wanted, yeah I guess I could//
I'd say I'm back but I never left//
And I could say I'm right but i never guessed//
I could talk shit for days but I never would//
But I could if I wanted, yeah I guess I could//
Raised middle finger to your raised nose//
Home sweet home on a beat, i make em move like the rates rose//
I know whats up, whats nothing and what matters most//
I aint acting what im not knowing that i don't, never that//
I take none of this for granted, the privilege aint lost on me//
Its common knowledge any minute it could stop, sheeiit//
So even when humility is tossed//
With the brags, still always thanks given for the props//
In this chase that im on the roads steep//
I could tell you bout the peaks, the lows, little bit about the nosebleeds//
A little bit about weekends on no sleep//
Or jumping depends with both feet//
But its worth it for my folks smile when i tell them bout my nights//
Or the front row reciting back every single line//
Or the people thanking me for the lyrics that i write//
You pretty much validate the last decade of my life//
Humble thank you, for round 2 I've been run ragged but I must add//
Don't call it a comeback, cause umm, yea, about that.//
I'd say I'm back but I never left//
And I could say I'm right but i never guessed//
I could talk shit for days but I never would//
But I could if I wanted, yeah I guess I could//
I'd say I'm back but I never left//
And I could say I'm right but i never guessed//
I could talk shit for days but I never would//
But I could if I wanted, yeah I guess I could//
I took my hobby made a job of it, and honest//
You see the plane over your head, or tune into the j's, man im probably on it//
But still broke mate, my quotables//
Have earnt me self-satisfaction and a few beers at my local//
Slice of humble pie, shit i lick the plate dry, but hey//
Not being big headed aint easy with a size 8//
The time took to refresh the page//
Stood on our yesterdays triumphs leapt fences in the way, now//
Dannys international, Phazes international//
J-Skubs a genius, Phrase is an animal//
Flagos the business, me, im kicking goals from a distance//
Crooked Eye on that bullshit big shit//
I'm like a proud brother, watching all my peers doing it//
Still get a kick when kids say my music influenced em//
I promise i wont stop//
Until it aint just the fellas who be getting my lyrics tattoo'd on em//
I celebrate the past//
But cant wait for the future to start, raise a glass for my graduating class like//
I'd say I'm back but I never left//
And I could say I'm right but i never guessed//
I could talk shit for days but I never would//
But I could if I wanted, yeah I guess I could//
I'd say I'm back but I never left//
And I could say I'm right but i never guessed//
I could talk shit for days but I never would//
But I could if I wanted, yeah I guess I could//
