Thus Far, Pt. 2

[Intro]
Yeah. What up ladies and gents. Ayy, ayy, ayy. You know, when I wrote this, I didn't know how it was all gonna happen but I knew it was all gonna happen somehow. I'm grateful it has. Yeah, check, yeah.

[Verse 1]
Let's recap, now I'm living in Perth, through a tough winter
Try to Mufasa, deal with my scars like a young Simba
Young bull, seeing red, dreading my head just like the top of Cole
Gemini reminded by my virgo that I'm hot and cold
Visions perfect of the future, she's in 4k
While I'm in the 6 I'm writing hits, it's like my forte
I was tryna grow as well and know myself before Drake
But it seems I'll build a wall, deny it all, before my flaws break
Comfier to be alone and by myself than cry for help
I'll write away and lift the weights to silence hell, beside myself
Attachment Theory taught me 'bout boy that hides behind the shell
An only child of habit, batter down the ones that try to help
I've got the friends who've got the house and the car
And the job and the spouse with the kids and the dog and no doubt it's sick, but it's hard
Hell yes, I want a fam and all, but now I choose this
Let my 16s make moves, true, if the shoe fits, June 6

[Verse 2]
Now listen here my people, I'm just here to break facades
See, most of us imprisoned, we just hide behind the bars
You see we're chasing what we dream of when awake and so it's hard
Majority of rappers struggling, but nothing will surpass
The feeling that we get when people vibing our shit
From the dudes that paved the way to ones just rhyming a bit
It's not the glitz and glamour lifestyle you ain't likely to get
It's supporting the ones you love the most in the life with your gift
And it's scary though, how will I provide? How will it be?
How can I support them when I'm barely just supporting me?
Couldn't trade my passion for security, it'd ruin me
I wouldn't be myself, up on the shelf, I dunno who I'd be
But I know I wouldn't be John if I didn't make a way
Every my card declines, reminds me that I'll make a change
I'm glad this shit ain't easy, but it's worth it, one day living in bliss
When I come to think of it everything difficult is

[Verse 3]
But in the, midst of it all, I never slipped, did I fall?
I'd rather be risking it all than idly just sit for a call
That may never come, so I swore, that with every step, I'd move forward
And with every wall that was pitched it would meet my fist in a ball
And that shit would crumble and fall, though debris a hundred foot tall
Enemies with trumpets galore, tryna seem triumphant, but short's, all their team has come with before, so to me it's nothing but boredom, eager to run
Through em all, like Lebron when jumping on four
If I'm not, growing daily I'm dying, never complaining, I'm silent
Above the clouds on this Australian island
I'm patient with timing, I know the basics made me a giant
To any obstacles, I turn 'em fossil fuel without trying
It's like man's thinner, dance through the grooves in the floor
You could be Hans Zimmer and you still couldn't score
And before you get offended, I'ma end it with the words up in this sentence
Think I meant it, you should get to know me more

[Verse 4]
Me and my chick
Took a little trip
Don't get me started
We hit a little ditch (Oh no)
Finished up the album in the 6
Hit 'em with the switch, like (Yeah)
Hold up, man, we about to be done
Gather round like we at the fountain, hope you're proud of your son
Surrounded by positivity and I allow it come
I never cowered at opportunities, there's bound to be one
That'll change your life, in a second so be prepared for the jump
Ain't scared of a slump, because a mountain is a ramp to the sun
I'm powering up, trying make something incredible that, you might need
I go nuts, running amok, over the top of these, J.C beats
I won't front, Was living in Mossy but I'm from the KGB
I won't stop, got 'em all wondering if he got A.D.D
With A, B, C's, No CBA, But bank on me
No CGI, My Jaw's tight, I need CBD
But not talking bout the city, I need green trees
And green grass, no weed, just to breathe deep
I see God by the beach, not on TV (No)
See me write a couple albums in like three weeks
Knee deep, buried in the music, rest in peace, see
I was only dropping one, but nuh-uh, man, it seems three's
A better number, so we upped it with the EP's
Trust the process, stay patient, never beep beep
Everyday's a blessing so I wake, I write and repeat
Didn't say I was a shoe in, so I won't succumb to defeat
Never stop, till in a box, you better lock it double three deep
Scratching on the coffin, unlock it, flog you a CD
Nah that's a little bit ghastly and ghoulish
But it's one life, one chance like Valar Morghulis
Standing ovations only, man I can't sit still
'Cause if you're sitting on your laurels, well then brah you foolish
I'm glad everyday's a grind 'cause I'm proud to do this
Intwined with pens, enlightenment, like buddhists
Just a boy from the west, give you something to see
Come enjoy what I've prepped, give you something to eat
I won't toy with the plebs, I've been upping the fee
Nowhere man JBT, home's west to the east
Arresting is my presence, mentioning the best better be
The dude who started at 23 but don't be resting on me

[Verse 5]
I think my neighbours
Think I'm sounding dope, wanna know why? Man, it's crazy, homie
I'm amazed by the piles of the paper piled up with the flame emojis
After a night of writing, and it's weird when it's kinda quiet
When the speaker's silent, hearing a round of applause through the wall 'cause they must be vibing
I get that encore, they want more, knock knock at my front door

[Skit 1]
"Will you shut up!" "Oh my God, shut up!" "Shut up!"

[Verse 6]
Uh, anyways
Check, check
Sending love to everybody who's been digging the vibe
Brizzy fam, Perth and Sydney, Melbourne city tonight
Adelaide and Darwin and Hobart, everywhere that I've missed
To all my overseas family, keep on singing my shit
And to little poor Tim, with all that milk in his latte
Get over it my brother, shove your milk up your...

[Skit 2]
"I'm calling the police!" "Yeah, call 'em!" "[?] you drongo!" "[?] room 137"
"You're under arrest"
"I'm under what?! Mister, no, but you just assured me that I could speak."
"Sir, sit down inside the car. We're not assuring anything."
"Gentlemen, this is democracy manifest."
