Intro: Yeah I’m sitting in the studio Just thinking bout where I grew up I grew up on - Yeah I grew up on High Street Yeah I grew up on High Street Verse One: I grew up under blue gum trees Four lanes and a roundabout My old man said it’s time to leave At 14 kicked me out the house Imagine that My own fam didn’t have my back Furniture in the front yard Me screaming to my dad; how you gonna do me like that Is that how you go and treat your son huh I can’t believe how many times my mother callin’ up my friends parents Asking them if it’s alright if I can stay just temporary If they can make a bed for me If someone could just tend to me Then I’ll be alright Another homies home Another mother to confide in See I have no friends, just brothers that I will ride with Brothers that I will die with Suckers don’t read the fine print Knew that Chorus: If you grew up on High Street The place where I was raised That strip was my street I’m running ‘round the maze I’m finding my feet They say the kid is next Well sh*t I might be Well how frightening (So where you from?) Verse Two: I grew up on a street with six pubs and a Caltex Three clubs and these nuts they ain’t even down yet Skatepark to Revs, teenagers we were rowdy Private school P platers driving Audi’s Get out yeah if you ain't from around here See we been on the block, f**k Scott Cam man this is our year (Yeah never doubt it) I’ve been working hard I love the burn but I'm trying to get out here Another night I'm working late and you call my phone The studio and these f****** lawyers are all I know I’m on my own, I’m in control and this piano It’s in my bones, cut my sleeves like E.M.O They all too stoned, see they sink but me I float I’m on my game, they fucking useless like PSO’s We under pressure but we shine like diamonds Know your worth When you grew up on High Street Chorus: I grew up on High Street The place where I was raised That strip was my street I’m running ‘round the maze I’m finding my feet They say the kid is next Well shit I might be Well how frightening Verse three: I been running all summer, baby since the sun up See I live on High Street, Melbourne with the come up Whole city been praying for our mothers Man I’m on my knees telling God f**k cancer Cannabis it be the answer Wanna be the first man from Prahran to go throw a hundred grand up Swear they want my head up on a mantle Ask me why I do it, well here the answer - I do it for the family Cut the bullsh*t man no distractions I got dreams of putting daddy in a phantom And move my mumma way, way out of Frankston Closer to the city in mansion from cash I made from rapping Mans flows has hands that you couldn't handle Burn - Ha! Stick ya like a candle Yo I’m gunning at a pace That might kill us, but since high school I was a mic killer You'll never take from me The power of freight trains running straight through my veins Do this sh*t till I'm 800 What a great come up I just pray that we can finally make peace before our days numbered Outro: High Street, the place where we were raised It’s up in every suburb, every city, every state Same shit going on nothing changed Just the same old day, when you’re living on High Street
