Housing Trust

Mama paid the rent on the Centrelink
No spouse in the house, what am I to think?
I was destined to drown in belligerence
Now I'm gifted to try to do it differently

I done come a long way
But I guess I gotta pray it on my way up (what's that?)
Miracle how we came up
God-gifted, be my missus while she lays up
Well, okay

I was dwelling down in my spirit
More thankful these visions I flow through my lows
I've got no time for pain and depression
If diamonds come from pressure, I'll glow

I done came a long way from Adelaide Housing Trust
Unchained, a long way from Adelaide Housing Trust
I done came a long way from Adelaide Housing Trust
Unchanged, a long way from Adelaide (it's yours, yo, sing)

On tour international performing
In and out of recording
Courtside rocking floor seats
I remember days sleeping on the floors
Mama cleaning the toilets, no ARIA Awards
That was back before love manifested
Now I'm thankful, I can express it
No matter where I'm coming or going
I ain't tripping on my blessings, I know, yeah

Unchanged, a long way from Adelaide (stay strong, stay strong)

Stay strong, go 'head live your life (oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah)
Stay strong, go head live your life
Stay strong for your family, oh
Say, stay strong, go 'head, live your life

Three, two, one
Let's get it, like
Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
