[Intro]
Uh
Dobby
[Verse 1]
Why would I be dealing with a label when their videos suck
While a budget in the States is a million bucks?
Don't wanna do it Sony, I could pull an Iggy and duck
Government don't wanna fund it, they ain't giving a fuck
But I gotta stay, people only listen to pop
Got the responsibility to pump the industry up
Rap is affiliated with a drink in the club
That's an image that is pissin' me off
Honestly I don't think everyone should post an opinion and such
But the political spirit isn't as given as much
Not to mention this Aborigine is sick of injustice
I'm fuckin' spittin' for a cousin who is sitting in cuffs
I admit it, I'm livin' with a different buzz
I commit that I'd never rap for the money, I'd rather be hungry
Then have a passion in Indigenous stuff
Than go platinum with a single on drugs
Serious, I'd rather get a minimum cut, than have a dividend fund
If it meant that I could regenerate love
In a generation of haters that you think we are from
Motherfucker, man, you see we ain't a stick in the mud
Same reason we eliminate guns
Same reason that love will be made legal in a figure of months
I don't say this shit to be bigger or nothin'
I'm tryna see what is wrong in order to be a people equal as one
[Chorus 1]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Man, I feel like I'm an aerial element right now
Feel like every other thing is irrelevant right now
And you bet that I'ma get with it help me to fly now
[Post-Chorus]
Uh, uh, uh
Yeah
Ba—da—da—da—da
Ba—da—da—da, oh, oh
Oh yeah
And you bet that I'ma live in this element fly now
[Verse 2]
Yo
Why would I be lookin' for a beat, leave me waiting in line
When I’m all about the drums and I’m able to grind?
Not to mention money-wise, haven’t paid all my fines
And I love a collaboration but I’m wasting my time
So many men and women with the fame in their eyes
You wanna keep it on the prize? Gotta pay 'em no mind
I do it for the love, it’s the way of my life
And what I speak in the street’s what I say on the mic
The vision I been havin' is allegory
The passion is amatory, I love it like Frank and a can of ravioli
I been up in the laboratory enraptured
I wanna get it like Macca’s, I’m Rick, I’m manic and mad at Morty
Rap is amazing, it should be mandatory
Nowadays, my niece and nephew been dabbing on me
What a time to be alive, right?
The more minds with the rhymes, the bigger the storyline, go
[Bridge]
I learned these things I know now
There's so much more, there's no doubt (no doubt)
I'm up, I'm 'bout to go down (go down)
I need to just go all out (uh)
I learned these things I know now (know now)
There's so much more, there's no doubt (no doubt)
I'm up, I'm 'bout to go down
I need to just go all out ([?])
I learned these things I know now (know now)
I know I'm 'bout to fly south (fly south)
Sick of dealing with pelicans right now (right now)
Because I feel like a peregrine right now (right now)
Man, I feel like a peregrine right now
God, I feel like a peregrine right now
A better way than I've ever been right now
In a place I never been right now
[Chorus 2]
Ayy
Ayy, ayy
Man, I feel like I'm an aerial element right now
Man, I feel like a peregrine right now
Feel like every other thing is irrelevant right now
God, I feel like a peregrine right now
And you bet that I'ma get with it help me to fly now
A better way than I've ever been right now
I know I'm 'bout to go down (go down)
I'm up, I'm 'bout to go down
I know I'm 'bout to go down (go down)
I'm up, I'm 'bout to go down
I learned these things I know now (know now)
I learned these things I know now
And you bet that I'ma live in this element fly now
God, I feel like a peregrine right now (right now)
[Outro]
Yeah
Oh, oh, ba—da—da—da
Ba—da—da—dum
Ayy
Oh yeah
Oh

The video for Peregrine is beautifully captured by the talented brother Benjamin Ling, and also features great mate Michael Brady from our band Jackie Brown Jr. The Peregrine music video means so much to me as a musician, rapper and as a drummer.
