17 Again

[Intro]
Oh
Oh—oh—oh—oh, check
Oh, yeah
Oh—oh—oh—oh, yeah

[Verse 1]
Back when I was seventeen, yeah
Back when I was seventeen, oh
Back when I was seventeen I had a notion
That I would see the whole world across the ocean
My mum be working hard, but she get no promotion
She'd be there every day for me, that's devotion
We never had a chance to go to the Aussie Open
We used to collect cans on them S.A. tokens
She tried to fix my heart, but tragedy broke it
I know I'm trying hard and destiny spoke

[Chorus]
Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, Aussie Ego
Yeah, yeah
And it's that Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, Aussie Ego

[Verse 2]
Back when I was seventeen, ayy
I stopped trying to kill myself, oh—o—oh
I turned my whole life around, oh—o—oh
Positivity and health, yeah
And I lost my identity, and I came from housing trust be been living in castles
How's the serenity? Woo, we walk them hard roads, came same
Yeah, Hoods as Hilltop, young Mixed Race baby
Of the eighties, I mean nineties, somebody remind me, woo woo
I'm a lover not a fighter, only thing I wanna break
Is these ceilings in my way, can't learn to fly in just a day
My self love coulda been better but my ambitions would not frey
My self love will not frey, don't hold that in, I gotta let it go

[Chorus]
Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, Aussie Ego
Yeah, yeah
And it's that Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, Aussie Ego
Yeah, oh—oh

[Verse 3]
Uh, back when I was seventeen though
My life was all trouble
I seeked guidance and love
My mental was real struggle, oh—oh
There's no help but yourself do what you love and live
Spread peace and love and health to these kids
From the orange brick housing flats
To the whole world across the map
Got me thankful to be standing on an ancient country
Yo, wo—o—oah

[Chorus]
Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, Aussie Ego
Yeah, oh—oh—oh, oh—oh—oh
And it's that Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, Aussie Ego
Oh—oh—oh—oh
And it's that Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, Aussie Ego
Yeah, oh—oh—oh, oh—oh—oh
And it's that Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, Aussie Ego
Oh—oh—oh—oh, oh—oh—ah

[Outro]
Thank God I'm not seventeen, ayy yeah
Thank God I'm not seventeen again, yeah
Thank God I'm not seventeen, oh—oh—oh—ah
Thank God I'm not seventeen again
