This short, 1:30-length song was shared online back in September 2011, likely recorded as a demo by Iggy for her debut album, The New Classic, but was ultimately not included. “Home Town Hatred” finds Iggy recounting some of her experiences as a child in rural Australia and her thoughts when moving...
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse]
I came from the dirt, I came from the country
When you see it on the TV, never think that you could touch it
Nose in the mirror, dreams of something bigger
Snakes in my yard, spiders in the kitchen
Dinner in swimmer's, drought every summer
Cane in the evening, smoke stacks, over SunSafe
Stacks making up beds, cleaning with my mother
Catchin' trains to the city, chasing fame
Who's winning? I can't say, but I'm in this
Got myself a ticket to the sky, wave goodbye
And I pack my mother's kisses
All these haters well-wishing, hoping I'll be back by Christmas
But unless I do what's promised you won't see my face 'round this bitch
Dropped out of high school, planning was crucial
All my teachers don't believe me, said they'll see me next cycle
They don't have the drive that I do, the heart that I do
Scared but I'm fearless 'cause I don't got shit to lose
I want it
[Instrumental Outro]
