Giraffe Lyrics by Tommy Ill

2013

[Intro: Tame Impala] (Sample: Feels like we're only going backwards)

Feels like I'm only going (uhuh)backwards baby (what up)
Every part of me says go ahead (go ahead go ahead go ahead)
I got my hopes up again, oh no... not again
Feels like we only go backwards darling
Feels like I'm

[Verse One: Tommy Ill]

Been a minute since the kid about to blow up
Nothin' happened though act like you know cos
I mean the flow sucks
Get the fuck of those nuts
Bull in a china shop
Plan (?)
I'm a grown up up
Man I'm a genius
You say I'm whack
But you're girls on my penis
Man I'm the meanest
And I don't need Jesus
I just need a camel
And a half bottle o teachers
So
What you thinkin' about Tom?
Um
A bunch of shit
Kid i'm back on
Man I'm back wrong
Off things I did
But I'm feelin' kinda strong off the whisky kick
So when I sing my little songs
You can come and say Tom
Hey dude, I like the music and it's you that I want
Cos you got something
I don't know what it is
But even if you didn't rap
Have ten of my kids
Like

[Hook: Tame Impala]

Feels like I'm only going backwards baby
Every part of me says go ahead (get down girl, go here get down)
I got my hopes up again, oh no... not again
Feels like we only go backwards darling
Feels like I'm

[Verse Two: Tommy Ill]

Yeah sometimes I wish I was a baller
Wish that I was younger
And not getting balder
Find me at the club with somebody's daughter
Giving me her number
But I never called her
I never wanted to do all these things man
I only did it to prove that the kid can
And for a minute i was with it anyway damn
Find me on the couch maybe playing NBA jam
With John
And John's probably winning
But its better than me sitting
With a billion different women
Because the chick with kid edition (?)
Maybe want to suck my dick
But she couldn't give a shit about this dick and all his feelings
I'm sorry
That's a tangent
What was I saying?
Oh right
I'm the man, Bitch
I stay mad sick
Probably til i'm mad sick
Only going backwards
Peace man
That's it

[Outro: Tame Impala]

Feels like I'm only going backwards baby
Every part of me says go ahead
I got my hopes up again, oh no... not again
Feels like we only go backwards darling
Feels like I'm only going backwards baby
Every part of me says go ahead
I got my hopes up again, oh no... not again
Feels like we only go backwards darling
