10:59 PM Lyrics by Purpose

If the City Had a Voice, Part 2

2011

[Intro: Purpose]
As we proceed
To give you what you need
As we proceed
To give you what you need

[Verse 1: Purpose]
I’ve got somethin’ to say before we call it
A day to all the people who came out to support us
Some didn’t approve, quit playin’
Considerin’ where we came from I’da thought congratulations were in order
Last year I gambled, faded ‘round the corner
Made me wonder if I would make it through the mornin’
But even if we lucky enough to know who we are
At some point along the way it gets distorted
But lady credit came with our performance
Money’s not the object, but you gon’ pay us to perform
‘Cause if you get a milli then you payin’ me a portion
That “For the love” shit ain’t just a sayin’, it’s extortion
So playful in the ways that I record
It’s a game to me, I’m bored of the nature of it all, so
From now on the world changes every august
My whole team ‘bout to turn Adelaide into a sauna
Never needed a label to support us
I’m grateful for how far we came and what it taught us
Yeah
I guess you can’t skew fate
By the time you realise, it’s too late
I don’t suit rockin’ proper clothes
Standin’ up straight and laughin’ at all my boss’ jokes
I belong at shows, I’m sorry boss, I gotta go
Ride till there’s no rides left, horror show
Look at Australian hip hop now and how strong it’s grown
Clichés aside, the scene came to life
So farewell for now, I’m on the road
It’s 10:59 man, there’s not long to go, let’s do it

[Chorus: Purpose]
“Grand opening, grand closing”
So let’s do it
“Grand opening, grand closing”
Thank you, thank you
“Grand opening, grand closing”
You’re far too kind
“Perfect time to say goodbye”
As we proceed
To give you what you need
As we proceed
To give you what you need

[Verse 2: Motive]
Yo, I’m sorry if it seems strange
I got love for the drum rolls and beat breaks
The MCs and B boys and DJs
I know you heard it all before, but these days
I can’t stress it enough, the kicks settin’ ‘em up
And I’ma keep knockin’ ‘em down
Look at what we’ve got on top of us now
From out above the clouds
Instrumental to steady holdin’ it down now
Well that’s where it all started, couldn’t have made it further if we tried
Still got ambition burnin’ in my eyes
From that look other right check
Now it’s all about the book in which they write cheques
I’m still hook rhymes and mic sticks
And they said I’d never equal shit
But now I’m teachin’ kids like Reason is
Now tell me what you think of this
I need this hip hop like a junkie needs a hit
So go and get yourself a habit, then tell me how to quit

[Outro: Purpose]
As we proceed
“Thank you, thank you”
To give you what you need
As we proceed
“Perfect time”
“Perfect time”
“Perfect time to say” “Goodbye”
“Grand opening, grand closing”
“Grand opening, grand closing”
“Grand opening, grand closing”
“Perfect” “Time” “To say” “goodbye” “Goodbye” “Goodbye”
