No Questions

Look where we are,
Look where we're going.
Man, look where we came from.
Back then you had to raise your son like a soldier,
You definitely made one.
Where I got my name from,
Eagle of God,
So I pray to the lord,
Hopin' the letters in my birth certificate brings me closer with my knees to the floor.

After grandpa died, or soon I would notice a change.
Your boy was becomin' a man,
But the man became a bigger boy all of the same.
Life of an adolescent, doing things that were never tested.
I was learning on the go, theory nothing like practice,
How was I to know?

But we would have mad fun,
When I lived on Gladstone,
Can tell I'm my dad's son.
'Link with the boys and we get into somethin'. And fucks?
We never gave one.
Was this the way I was brought up?
Well my mum would kindly disagree.
If you see how I was back then, you'd wonder now how I got a degree.

Senior year man, that shit was great.
High school was only a place to congregate.
Out on the oval, lookin' for the bitches,
We were just young and being misogynistic.
Skinny brown boy, afro real frigid,
Provin' to the lads this chick I can get with it.
Nerdy blonde thing, behind the demountable, Got my first biscuit.
Damn

Then I got my first real girlfriend after.
I'm a big man so imma go harder.
I was 19, she was 24, had enough of materialism and she wanted more.
It never really mattered I was younger,
All that mattered is I came with that young love.
I was fascinated, infatuated,
Until I heard she missed her time of the month.
Wait. Wait.

If I could take it back, I would live with that,
And do it all the same.
No questions.
If I could take it back, I would live with that,
And do it all the same.
No questions.

Yeah you ain't gonna like it but I'm just tellin' my story,
So many reasons and factors I'm here that I just can't take all the glory.
Remember the time we got locked in the fishbowl, the racist police were provoking.
And in Liverpool if you had the wrong phone you'd get rolled, and sometimes we were rollin 'em.
Thankful to Staff for showin' us raps.
Me and Young Glove we would write in the kitchen.
Thankful to Gasm for giving me beats.
No one should keep was gon' show us the vision(?)
We were just four young brothers rebellin',
And back then they block us but now they all listen.
Afro-Australia's making a name,
This stage is my slave, and this mic I'm just whippin like.

Coming from the underground,
Now they gon' see me around,
Know that your boy got me holding it down.
These critics and blogs they in love with the sound.
Yeah from day one, the way that I acted, the way that I talk, wondering where I'm from.
You can assume about me all you want,
Just listen to all the lines of this song.
I hope that they get it, cause me I'm a menace,
I'm beast, I'm a villain, this flow I'm relentless.
Very best guidance I ever received,
"Keep it one hundred and remain authentic."
That's what I'm doin', I'm a stay true and
Live my life, paint a picture for your viewing.
If this was a movie, I am the producer, the star, the director, to tell you to start and stop shootin'.
Goddamn.

If I could take it back, I would live with that.
I'd do it all the same.
No questions.
If I could take it back, I would live with that.
I'd do it all the same.
No questions.

No.
No regrets.
