You don't know your city like, your city like you say

You barely know the people 'round your way

You live in a bubble, might as well be outer space

But you could be in trouble if you stay

Uh, if the apple don't fall far from the tree

You better watch how you water your seeds

Or they gon' fall like them autumn leaves

Real talk, I just want you to be more than me

And give more to the streets than what autumn leaves

In other words, I've given all that I am

I didn't have much, but I've given more than I can

I'm a mother's son, so you know I'm more than a man

Don't believe in God, but you know this is part of the plan

This that early morning curlew singing out type of shit

Second time this week, I ain't cut out for this shit, sky wavy

Mama get that phone call

Gotta wait till she can even talk until I know more

Speechless, ring-ring, pick up the phone like, "Who speaking?"

I can hear 'em grieving, screaming

Man, I hate this feeling

I really wear the city on my sleeve 'cause

That's the place were all my brothers sleep, say less, budda

But you could be in trouble if you stray

Cricket pitches and bible belts

Fibro house that got a highbrow moat

Young fam in the apartment with the high loud note

Tryna whisper her to sleep with the light out, though

Looking out into the distant glow

Why you think they keep the lighting in the building on?

Leave it open, yo, that's where they get identity from

Lost kids and the places they pretend to be from

Everywhere but where the parents had gone

Jack Mundey in a Hunter's Hill mansion

Prominently hung above the grandson

First grandson, I remember Rocky Point Road

<span begin="1:49.106" end="1:50.916">In the car with ALF, heading home</span> <span ttm:role="x-bg"><span begin="1:50.605" end="1:51.805">(Rest in peace, bro)</span></span>

Cast a long shadow as the bigger the sprawl

Saltwater and no carpark, it's easy to walk

I got my bearings, but it's easy to talk

Until one day, I move away from it all

And I'm out
