“Young and Free” is a critique of contemporary Australian life and its struggle with racial tension. Remi raps about his average day dealing with personal insecurities and feeling at odds with Australian society.
The title “Young and Free” is a reference to the opening lines of the Australian natio...
[Intro]
Bring in the funk
I know you like it
I know you like it
I know you like it
[Verse 1]
I wake up like a old man
Bones cracking as I reach for my phone and
Scroll casually through the Instagram
Posts that are brand new then hit my clothes rack
Chuck on the polo with the Lacoste logo, and
Golf pants, I got cheap from Salvos, then
Go grab a cappuccino with the low fat
Lactose at the cafe I drink most at
'Cause the waitress super fly, and I want a romance
Hold hands, follow me home like a road map
Go down in her wet spot like a boat ramp
Make her come (Hey), jamón like go HAM
But her icy blue eyes say I got no chance
So I grab the newspaper, unfold that
In bold caps, it says, "Turn the boats back"
So mad, next page, it says
"No matrimony for gays," how can you promote that?
Stupid Murdoch is a cunt, he's just so backward
But that's a day in the life, another day in my Australian life
We say
[Chorus]
Just another average day in my Australian
Australian life
Just another average day in my Australian
Paradise, paradise
[Verse 2]
So I roll back to my house
Grey matter full of demons to write about
Get the notebook like Gosling and the fountain
Tip pen I use as a sword, wiping out
Enemies like a full samurai, get the crown
Just to give it to my fans 'cause they hold me down
Or, or give it to my parents 'cause I owe 'em money
Or, or give 'em to my teachers like "Fuck you," then bounce
(Fuck you, Ms. Townsend)
[Verse 3]
Once I'm down writing these bars, I roll a joint in my yard
Play "Illmatic", Nas, say "One love" to my friend
Musti walking past with his beautiful sister wearing a hijab
Finish my weed, then check Facebook for a laugh
But instead it is dark, all I see is Reclaim Australia rally
A bunch of rednecks wearing masks
And that's the definition of terror to me, but that's life, huh
That's Australian life, it's gonna be alright now
That's Australian life, another day in my Australian life
We said
[Chorus]
Just another average day in my Australian
Australian life
Just another average day in my Australian
Paradise
[Outro]
It's just, it's just another
It's just, it's just another
It's just, it's just another day
In my Australian life, we say
It's just, it's just another
It's just, it's just another
It's just, it's just another day
In my Australian life, we say
Do you, do you (This life)
Do you (What is this life?)
(How) does it make you feel?
Scared or aware of? [Repeat]
