[Verse 1]
Mum said never put your eggs in one basket
But I can’t be boxed in
Life’s already too close to the casket
Shadow boxing king
Ish-ish-ish, don’t blink
The hooks all come in my sleep, see
I’m punching in a dream
Punch in my vocals right here, please
Ask the engineer what he thinks
And if he says bee stings
Then it hit well (Yhat’s the one)
These things are all a part of the process
I spend my savings on software, not shopping
Copping what I want when I want and dodging coppers
Told dad I’m out of trouble
But because I’m not in college, all this knowledge acquired is useless
Use that big brain of yours, stupid
Study anything in the world as long as it’s not music
[Chorus]
They don’t listen to us, I know they think we’re fools
We just live a life you never see on the news
Twisted point of views, they’re cherry-picking the truth
'Cause every time we say something, they just reply like
Yeah, nah-nah-nah-nah
Yeah, nah-nah-nah-nah
Yeah, nah-nah-nah-nah
Yeah, nah, yeah, nah
Yeah, nah-nah-nah-nah
Yeah, nah-nah-nah-nah
Yeah, nah-nah-nah-nah
Yeah, nah, yeah, nah
[Verse 2]
Difference in opinions
Listen to the minions say despicable me
For wanting to S-P-I-T like it’s illegal
Unlike Indonesia, Polynesians like freedom
But politics are misleading, I still love all people
Look through the peep hole, my bol
We’re young but not week-old
You can’t fool us with sweet rolls, my yo
Put the fast food in someone else’s front lawn
Or when them riots ride through, I will burn your drive-thrus
[Chorus]
They don’t listen to us, I know they think we’re fools
We just live a life you never see on the news
Twisted point of views, they’re cherry-picking the truth
'Cause every time we say something, they just reply like
They don’t listen to us, I know they think we’re fools
We just live a life you never see on the news
Twisted point of views, they’re cherrypicking the truth
'Cause every time we say something, they just reply like
Yeah, nah-nah-nah-nah
Yeah, nah-nah-nah-nah
Yeah, nah-nah-nah-nah
Yeah, nah, yeah, nah
Yeah, nah-nah-nah-nah
Yeah, nah-nah-nah-nah
Yeah, nah-nah-nah-nah
Yeah, nah, yeah, nah
[Verse 3]
There’s so many paths you could take—why this?
I’m sure that there’s a sport you could play
You’re built for league, not a stage
Okay, okay, say what you want
But now whenever they hear my voice, it’s all praise
Things change and that’s all good, sweet as, I’m not mad
'Cause now I’m making bank and your cuzzies call me the mantis
Thought you were gonna study at uni after MAGS
Yeah, nah, I took opportunities to get a bag
Praying on my downfall but I beat the situation
Now I’m living better than if I ever got your qualification, see
Life’s really just what you make it
Why would I be the turtle in the race
When I can be the rabbit that can waste him?
Asked the bro should I keep going with the raps
And he said, "Hard, G" (Hard, hard, hard)
But all that really means is that he’s listening hardly
Now I’m all up on his ears and he’s all up in mine like
"For the boys, surely you’ll put my name in your rhymes"
[Chorus]
They don’t listen to us, I know they think we’re fools
We just live a life you never see on the news
Twisted point of views, they’re cherry-picking the truth
'Cause every time we say something, they just reply like
Yeah, nah-nah-nah-nah
Yeah, nah-nah-nah-nah
Yeah, nah-nah-nah-nah
Yeah, nah, yeah, nah
Yeah, nah-nah-nah-nah
Yeah, nah-nah-nah-nah
Yeah, nah-nah-nah-nah
Yeah, nah, yeah, nah
Yeah, nah-nah-nah-nah
Yeah, nah-nah-nah-nah
Yeah, nah-nah-nah-nah
Yeah, nah, yeah, nah
Yeah, nah-nah-nah-nah
Yeah, nah-nah-nah-nah
Yeah, nah-nah-nah-nah
Yeah, nah, yeah, nah
