Wave Lyrics by Illy

The Space Between

2021

[Verse 1]
Yeah, I'm comin'
Straight out of Melbourne to melt 'em, run and go tell them
Suff' said, "may never get a damn 'thank you'
But they sure as hell gonna get a 'you’re welcome'", I felt that
My blueprint, their shelter, swear I
Salute king to king, besides that, bow to no man
Took a faint hope chance with both hands
Knowing life harsh as cones stacked outta coke cans
Rap took the world over Rosebud to Rosecrans
Clowns shoot a lotta cheap shots that got round
Since I popped out on top ground
Like I haven't spent half a life gettin' raps locked down
Like, what you think, I forgot how? Please
Y'all need specs to see my vision
Your bars ain't shit next to these ambitions
See me, they see red, my only reaction
Was platinum then platinum then platinum then platinum, [?]

[Chorus]
Okay, I'm on a wave, try to catch up
Way back from the first to the latest
From the start to the standing ovations
Through it all I been like
Okay, I'm on a wave, try to catch up
Way back swore my next be my greatest
Still my closing and opening statement
Through it all I been like

[Verse 2]
Go fuck yourself, you ain't with it
I'm way more than these lame rappers with lame lyrics
About making it big, I did it, and didn't change for shit
They get a buzz, watch 'em act way different, right?
I get the digs, nothing personal in it
Shit a business, do the same, we traded positions
I mean, take personal taste out it, who 'bout it
What they talking, bank balances, platinum or smash albums, what?!
Don't need to brag, I do it for fun
Their career album sales, I do it in one
Week that is, I been that lit, I give a fuck
What your friend's friend's feedback is
Every time I drop it's "jeez again?" No signs of quittin'
From not having a pot to piss in to pissin' off
Every Aussie rap critic, they all chase the lights
I'm the one who admit it, you want it, come get it, like

[Chorus]
Okay, I'm on a wave, try to catch up
Way back from the first to the latest
From the start to the standing ovations
Through it all I been like
Okay, I'm on a wave, try to catch up
Way back swore my next be my greatest
Still my closing and opening statement
Through it all I been like

[Verse 3]
Yeah
Do one, w—way more to soon come
I juggle bars and charts, I walk and chew gum
The truth, I'm the who in the whodunit
Go for everyone old heads, newcomers
Who you think I'd to listen to?
My people always backed what the kid'd do, I'll go with them
'cause it isn't dudes who ain't fit to lace my boots
When they get in the booth, game on, brother, stick and move
I still show improve even with zero to prove
Three years on the move, you know that I got juice
If you only did a mile in my shoes you wouldn't suit
And you don't need to get it for me to know that's the truth
And my work ethic outweighed the pen and the pad
And I wrung every drop out the talent I have
And put rap to the front, my forever first love
Like cowabunga, motherfucker, guess surf's up

[Chorus (Extended)]
Okay, I'm on a wave, try to catch up
Way back from the first to the latest
From the start to the standing ovations
Through it all I been like
Okay, I'm on a wave, try to catch up
Way back swore my next be my greatest
Still my closing and opening statement
Through it all I been like
Okay, I'm on a wave, try to catch up
Way back from the first to the latest
From the start to the standing ovations
Through it all I been like
Okay, I'm on a wave, try to catch up
Way back swore my next be my greatest
Still my closing and opening statement
Through it all I been like go
