[Verse 1: Nick Lupi, Jimmy Nice, Nick Lupi & Jimmy Nice]
Tell me, tell me, now don't it sound anthemic
When it knock you back, like bad credit?
Uh, but it can draw you in, man, if you let it
Anybody that want it can get it
Double S killin' tracks since Little Athletics
But I ain't never ran; never sweat it
Make the whole world cover they mouth like pandemics
Now, I drown my enemies in a static
Tryna crack the recipe to a classic
We tryna take it bigger than just rap shit
I'm tryna take it to a whole 'nother axis
Graduated from heartbreak like Drazic
Scar on my face is a little less tragic
From the same school that brought you Abe Saffron
Came me and Solo gettin' our rap on
Me and Diddy on that Ashfield platform
Jimmy was the coolest kid, so I latched on
And met Joyride, never looked back from ([?])
And now we overseas off some rap songs
[Verse 2: Jimmy Nice]
Heard he 'bout to fall off, get they wack on (On)
Myths of the near future, the klaxons
Had dreams of seein' pussy at the show
Now the front row's looking like a scene from [?]
We yellin', "Where'd you come from?"
Ayy, quick question, "Where you going?" (Go)
My man [?] read the paper every mornin' (Every mornin')
Nobody was up on that rap shit before him (Uh)
Four four fives on the way to recording, check
[?] told me never stop drawin' (Yes)
T.H.B., I thought we'd never stop warrin'
Broads loved how we'd talk, got drawn in
Walk in the footsteps of everyone before him
But never would they be the same paw print (Never)
I'm all the wonders of the world rolled into one (One)
Been schemin' with my team since little lunch (That's right)
You look at Towards the Light, that's a bit of fun
You thought the One Day team had a hit-and-run?
[Verse 3: Solo]
Well, if you thinkin' like that, you'd better listen up (Listen up)
I told you from the start, here to kick a rhyme
Grab your spirit, try and lift it up, and I've come too
Far to ever think of turnin' back, so I ain't givin' up now
(Nah) No, I ain't givin' up now
(Now) Now tell me
Have you ever seen an idea turn into a dream
Then plan then it became a reality, or so it seemed
But you were feeling almost like it couldn't be
As if you were watchin' yourself just actin' out a scene
But it was much realer than a screen could ever be
Watchin' the tide roll in with my team on Venice Beach
Thinkin' of all I got ahead of me
I take a second and just let it breathe, lost in a memory
Of a cold night in Inner West Sydney (I-Dub)
In the very first time that Nick met Jimmy
Little did I know, I was witnessin' a genesis (Yeah, yeah)
Of the SS, Inner West representatives
