SUBURBIA

Yeah
Young country boy

Ooh, yeah

Got a couple friends are slinging powder
Couple friends are slinging green
Lot of friends are sniffing powder
Lot of friends are pinging beans
They pretend they’ve got the power
But I know they’re really fiends
It’s so hard when you’re surrounded
Everything is in your reach
Couple on a 100k
Working 7 days a week
Always talking holidays
Looking for their next retreat
They don’t like it but they say, “The moneys good, I can’t complain”
But money’s just a plastеr tryna fix some amputated feet

Stuck in a job and you don’t see no realistic еxit
You got things to pay for, so you need the funds - what you believe
“I’ll work for Bob on site - I hate the work, I’m pretty desperate
There’s no other option, so I might as well just wait and see
Wait for the weekend, that’s my time I get to be, yeah
Or so I think, ‘cause it’s the beer that really speaks
Could be the beer, could be the gear, but it’s not me, yeah”
One don’t come without the other; typical South East

See a lot of brown loafers, see a lot of skinny jeans
A lot of big fake lips, a lot of white girl weaves
See a lot of ankles out and see a lot of dirty knees
And a lot of kids about, a lot of fake ID’s

You can’t call your friend a nitty when you was with him half the time
You got to look at yourself and diagnose it, “Am I okay?
Can I say no? Lay low? If I can’t, the problem’s mine
I gotta cut it out, ‘cause if I don’t then this will be my life”

A lot of people round me stuck for ways to spend their free time
They can’t drink 24/7, so they’re searching for activities
Gym or wife? Kids or crime?
That’s the options in their eyes
Some will choose the both and that’s when things get really, really peak

Always thinking of yourself
Netflix, chill with other girls
On a text, call her your ‘World’
In bed with someone she knows well
Thinking ‘bout how bored you are, ain’t thinking ‘bout her feelings
Ain’t contemplating how she’s pregnant, ‘cause it has no meaning, yeah
What’s your baby gonna do when he finds out his dad’s a mug?
Probably pick from one of two; hate you or he’ll follow up
Neither is the greatest option, either way you’ve messed him up
You took away his head-start, you pushed him back, right from the front
