Yeah, came a long way, man, from tours

First act on, doing encores

Fit in or stand out, either or

Quick to pick which I want more

Went high grade, gone top drawer

Game on point, numbers on board

Made my second home airport floors

Been on call for those long hauls

Damn, said I'd do it, I did it

Put my mark on a map like I Googled the image

Let 'em get use to the shit, nothing usual in it

I took my backpack and my accent there and back and

There and back again

Yeah, this life's a bitch, but I fit this bitch

Like a black dress, I say

Same shit, different story, that's a hard sell

And they ain't big enough to sell it

Always talking 'bout those tall tales

Never doing it before they said it

Whole squad like, fuck the guard rails

So they can be the ones to tell it

We just live up to all those tall tales

And man, if you don't know by now

Forget it, forget it, forget it, forget it

Whatever, man, if you don't know by now

Forget it, forget it, forget it, forget it

Whatever, man, if you don't know by now

Forget it, forget it, forget it, forget it

Whatever, man, if you don't know by now

Forget it, forget it, forget it, forget it

Whatever, man, if you don't know by now, forget it

I've been gone longer than I woulda liked

Let me put that right, yeah, I took my time

'Cause number four did damage, so cooking five

I locked the kitchen down and mixed good advice

With too many late nights in St. Kilda

Too many late nights in the LES

I'm pound for pound the best, and this is where the buck stops

My two cents, not a penny less, so what'd I miss?

So, what'd I miss? Man, let me guess

Some poser shit, faux heaviness?

I don't rock the boat, I capsize the bitch

And if this the wave, they all getting swept

I'm the architect of my success

Hand-made this house of cards, went upper-deck

Since Cinematic came and went, I reload

Five deep this round, no time for breath, Goddamn

Tried to let y'all miss me for a second

Come back and I hear my influence on all these rappers' records

And Goddamn, even I'm over reiterating the message

But it feels like if I ain't here to remind, how quickly they forget it

That I'm G'd up, I've been up, I'm living la vida

That bullshit, you ain't 'bout that life man, me either

Damn, the boy's back, I'll tell you something for nothing

I ain't mad I missed these summers, it's just been motherfuckers, saying

The same shit, different story, that's a hard sell

And they ain't big enough to sell it

Always talking 'bout those tall tales

Never doing it before they said it

Whole squad like, fuck the guard rails

So they can be the ones to tell it

We just live up to all those tall tales

And man, if you don't know by now

Forget it, forget it, forget it, forget it

Whatever, man, if you don't know by now

Forget it, forget it, forget it, forget it

Whatever, man, if you don't know by now

Forget it, forget it, forget it, forget it

Whatever, man, if you don't know by now

Forget it, forget it, forget it, forget it

Whatever, man, if you don't know by now, forget it

I'm no side show, I'm no life coach, Mr. Tightrope don't slip, nuh-uh

Tall poppies get clipped

But how many track stems you gotta dig? Damn

Made my own lane, they rehashing, yawning at their bars

Yeah, got it, you rhyme, blah de blah, count myself to sleep

With all the ways they rap 'bout rapping

Two classics under my belt, another put an ARIA on my shelf

And another was my first one, I didn't make that for anyone else

And still, it's onwards, upwards, let it build

Crossing genres, bending steel

Don't respect what it take to make this look

Easy by now? You never will

You never will, you never will

So, here we go again

Oh, oh

So, here we go again

Oh, oh

So, here we go again
