[Chorus: Sage]
Y'all got me wrong
Y'all gon' miss us when we gone
Reminisce about this song, shoulda
Listened, wishin’ you with this vision
Now we be on
What you pop pills to get the same feelin’
Got people asking us where we from
AU’s finest, we grindin', Belmonte like we Timeless
[Verse 1: Sage & Joey Maker]
Y’all got me wrong
Show my working now I prove it
Nah, like sarong
Rap it up and watch her move it
The measure of a man
Goes by how much he is ruling
I educate the fam
That’s home schooling, now I’m bullying
All my peers, hah, I’m full of it
Say I’m weird, nah, I’m cool with it
Shed a tear, but I stay true to them
On their ear I pierce my diamond CD
On the TV advertise my LP
Count streams like millilitres of that peepee
(Hehe!) MJ like a billie in my jeans
When I get it split it with the team
Waiting on your Maker, only he can intervene
Eye of the beholder, nothin’ as it seems
Watch out if you sleep I charge a dollar and a dream
Snatched from your mind, wallet looking clean
All of you that front will never get behind the scenes
Pulling back curtains, running out of steam
All you gotta do is ask a human how he been
Look into their eyes be the reason that they gleam
Listen to their words try work out what they mean
Shake a man’s hand as a measure of esteem
This that shit cross overseas
This that crack, that snow for fiends
This that shit I oversee
This that "Yes, they know it's me"
This that uhh S-A-G-E
A-U-S or O-Z, ah
[Chorus: Sage]
Y'all got me wrong
Y'all gon' miss us when we gone
Reminisce about this song, shoulda
Listened, wishin’ you with this vision
Now we be on
What you pop pills to get the same feelin’
Got people asking us where we from
AU’s finest, we grindin', Belmonte like we Timeless
[Verse 2: Mini Coop & Clue]
They don’t know what they got themselves into
Like tryna date a girl with issues
Give me one inch of respect and it’s gonna get misused
Turn it to a mile, get ‘em wild when I swing through (wooo!)
I’m not looking for no excuse, nah
They ain’t tried what I been through
But I’m alive, I survived, I defied, cutting ties
I just cut up the string that you cling to
Step up and we dancin’
Tryna bring the fight to us, the Midas touch
I might erupt, now wisen up, or time to run
Man I’m crazy on this shit like Manson
Ask for a Clue or I’ll give you the answers
On set to blow your mind with every line
People sell their souls for the watch on my wrist
When the fact of it is, they all miss and ain’t worth my time (your turn!)
Take Coop to the checkout, then write a check out
And check out - I’m still checking like one-two
Separated from the dumb crews
And I mastered the Art of War like I’m Sun Tzu (shing!)
Tryna keep pace with the king? Then you better learn to run dude
You gon’ need some shoes and set of iron lungs too
You could be sprinting with a rocket up your ass
I’m still like the fuckin’ Flash when I run through
You the Flash, I’m a Superman
And you know I’m up next with my future plan
I’m bout to blow this place up like I’m Luthor man
I’m on the edge, and they slippin’, and I’m ruthless damn
How these others want to claim they can take us?
Alcoholics and they lay in the same bars
A-grade and they fail in the same class
Bet against us if you ready to pay up
I’m getting bored with the lack of heat
These rapping hacks are weak, I attract the beef
I need competition just to keep me at my feet
These wack emcees, detract from the raps I preach
I’m too much with the rhythm, adjusting the system and tempo
Others be slippin’ but say that they kill em but when though?
Acting the villain but kissing my ass at the next show
How the fuck I gotta put rappers in the friend zone?
[Verse 3: Joey Maker]
Treating every day like a tightrope
Walk a thin line, tip toe through to my hopes
Don't look down—both eyes fixed on the crown
Seen it come true, everything that I wrote
Wanna be a rapper? Don't dress like me
Triple J play comin’, yes I see
Fuck ‘em all, tore the rules right off the page
Woke from the dream, break right out the cage
And I write out the rage
Feel the world spinning, a menace and any minute
The shit I'm spitting ridiculous, yeah
Tell em I'd do it, I did it different
I'm in it hitting the limits, and if I said it, I’m living it, yeah
Bringing it balance I'm Anakin
Feel like the forces are gathering
Using these clones as a means to an end then abandon ‘em
Fuck Obi-Wan, if he want it I'll handle him, yeah!
Everything part of the plan
Last few years been hard on the fam
Got Syd City in the palm of my hand
Carry AU in my arms if I can
Re-up, I read up, To free up my mind
See us, we be up, to keep up, the grind
Everything we do, one of a kind
Get a sneak preview, one at a time
Coop up next, got Sage on deck
Clue be way up, they upset
S-Y-D to B-N-E, Burn city to the West Coast, pay respects
Seen the 2-6 on a wave
Heard the flames from out S-A
Face the world we come united
Won't hold back, we AU's Finest
[Chorus (Condensed): Sage]
Y'all got me wrong
Y'all gon' miss us when we gone
Got people asking us where we from
